The Famous Dave's location at 1725 Chestnut, which we first noted over the summer, is now open for business. As opposed to other Famous Dave's locations, which are aimed at the dinner crowd, this location is focused on drawing in Center City lunchers, thusly offering moderately priced salads, sandwiches and soups in addition to 'cue platters. (Here's a PDF of the menu.) There's also an $8.99 "Bag Lunch Special" that rotates daily. They're open seven days a week from 11 to 9.
