Famous Dave's

Working in tight spaces is not a problem… at least for Leopardo who was brought in at the tail end of a building demolition and proceeded to systematically construct a new two-story restaurant for Famous Dave’s BBQ.

  • Constructed in a zero lot line loop location making for challenging delivery of 98-foot steel roof trusses
  • Delivery process included special transportation, access permits and the assistance of the Chicago Police Department for traffic control
  • Travel routes were planned and streets were closed for unloading and erection of trusses between two existing buildings
  • Two-story kitchen
  • Two bars
  • Interior/exterior thematic design with extensive changes up to six-weeks prior to the grand opening
This project has been, in my 17 years of experience, one of the best run operations that I have seen.
