Famous Dave's Barbecue, Springfield, PA

Went there on the recommendation of friends. Lots and lots of food. I tried the appetizer sampler, and the rest of our group concentrated on ribs, ribs and cod, and riblets.

As for my sampler:
Ribs: OK. Lots of fat.
Chicken Wings: Excellent, on the small side.
Chicken Tenders: Very good.
Catfish Fingers: Awesome. I'd go back just for those.
Onion Strings: Eh. Lightly breaded and lightly tasty. Not much "there" there.
3 sauces: I coudn't tell you what they were, but they were good.

On the side: each table had ketchup plus 5 sauces: Georgia Mustard, Devil's Spit, Rich & Sassy (their award-winner), Sweet & Zesty and Texas Pit (I think). I tried Georgia Mustard and Rich & Sassy- both were excellent.

Casanova Grill, Marlton, NJ

Our party of four tried a variety of the lunch menu:

Cheese Tortellini with Pesto Sauce and Sausage
Spiral Pasta with Lump Crab Meat and Alfredo Sauce
Crab Cakes with Mixed Grilled Veggies
Chicken Parm w/ Linguini

All were pretty good - we'll definitely be back, especially for the seafood. Casanova Grill is located in the Crispin Square shopping center near the junction of Church Street and Church Road in Marlton, with the entrance across from Eckerd's on Church/North Maple.
