Company Overview

In September 2019, a holding company reorganization was completed in which Famous Dave's of America, Inc. ('FDA') became a wholly owned subsidiary of the new parent holding company named BBQ Holdings, Inc. ('BBQ Holdings'). BBQ Holdings was incorporated on March 29, 2019 under the laws of the State of Minnesota, while FDA was incorporated in Minnesota on March 14, 1994. We develop, own and operate restaurants under the name 'Famous Dave's', 'Clark Crew BBQ', 'Granite City Food & Brewery' and 'Real Urban Barbecue.' Additionally, we franchise restaurants under the name 'Famous Dave's'. As of January 3, 2021, there were 125 Famous Dave's restaurants operating in 31 states, Canada, and the United Arab Emirates, including 27 Company-owned restaurants and 98 franchise-operated restaurants. Included in the Famous Dave's company-owned restaurant total are four restaurants purchased in July 2019 in Arizona ('Arizona Restaurants') and four restaurants purchased in March 2019 in Colorado ('Colorado Restaurants'). The first Clark Crew BBQ restaurant opened in December 2019 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. BBQ Holdings has a 20% ownership in this venture. On March 9, 2020, we purchased 18 Granite City Food & Brewery restaurants ('Granite City Acquisition') in connection with a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing. On March 16, 2020, we purchased one Real Urban Barbecue restaurant located in Vernon Hills, Illinois. In October 2020, we signed a 25-unit development agreement with Bluestone Hospitality Group ('Bluestone') whereby Bluestone will open Famous Dave's ghost kitchens and dual restaurant concepts with the Johnny Carino's Italian brand. On July 30, 2021, we completed the purchase of the Village Inn family restaurant concept with 21 company owned restaurants and 114 franchised restaurants, and the Bakers Square pie and comfort food concept currently with 13 company-owned restaurants.

Our Common Stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol 'BBQ.' Our executive office is located at 12701 Whitewater Drive, Suite 100, Minnetonka, Minnesota 55343, and our telephone number is (952) 294-1300.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described under the heading 'Risk Factors' contained in the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, and discussed under the section entitled 'Risk Factors' contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our most recent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as well as any amendments thereto reflected in subsequent filings with the SEC, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus in their entirety, together with other information in this prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference and any free writing prospectus that we may authorize for use in connection with this offering. The risks described in these documents are not the only ones we face, but those that we consider to be material. There may be other unknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive, regulatory or other factors that could have material adverse effects on our future results. Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow could be seriously harmed. This could cause the trading price of our securities to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. Please also carefully read the section above entitled 'Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.'

USE OF PROCEEDS

The shares of Common Stock offered by this prospectus are being registered for the account of the Selling Shareholders named in this prospectus. All sales of the offered securities will be made by, or for the account of, the Selling Shareholders named in this prospectus, in any supplement to this prospectus or in an amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Therefore, we will not receive any proceeds from the disposition by the Selling Shareholders of any of the shares covered by this prospectus.

We have agreed to pay certain expenses, including the legal fees of the Selling Shareholders, in connection with the registration of the shares of our Common Stock. The Selling Shareholder will pay all underwriting discounts, fees or selling commissions, placement fees of underwriters or broker's commissions, any out-of-pocket expenses, and any transfer taxes or other taxes, if any, in each case in connection with the sale or other disposition of the shares of our Common Stock.

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

This prospectus covers the disposition by the Selling Shareholders of a total of 1,000,000 shares of our Common Stock acquired by the Selling Shareholders pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreements described below, and any Common Stock issued as a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for or in replacement of such Common Stock. The table below sets forth information concerning the resale of shares of Common Stock by the Selling Shareholders. The total number of shares of Common Stock sold under this prospectus may be adjusted to reflect adjustments due to stock dividends, stock distributions, splits, combinations or recapitalizations with regard to the Common Stock.

To our knowledge, except as summarized below under 'Relationships with Selling Shareholders' of this section, the Selling Shareholders, nor any affiliate of the Selling Shareholders: (i) has held any position or office with, been employed by or otherwise has had any material relationship with us or our affiliates during the three years prior to the date of this prospectus; or (ii) is a broker-dealer, or an affiliate of a broker-dealer.

Set forth below is the name of each Selling Shareholder and the number of shares and percentage of Common Stock owned by it (including shares which a stockholder has the right to acquire within 60 days, including upon exercise of options, warrants and convertible notes) prior to the offering, the shares to be sold in the offering, and the amount and percentage of Common Stock to be owned by each (including shares which a stockholder has the right to acquire within 60 days, including upon exercise of options or warrants) after the offering assuming all shares are sold.

The following table is based on information provided to us by the Selling Shareholders and is as of August 3, 2021. The Selling Shareholders may sell all or some of the shares of Common Stock they are offering, and may sell shares of our Common Stock otherwise than pursuant to this prospectus. The table below assumes that the Selling Shareholders sell all of the shares offered by them in offerings pursuant to this prospectus, and do not acquire any additional shares. We are unable to determine the exact number of shares that will actually be sold or when or if these sales will occur.

Relationships with Selling Shareholders

On June 24, 2021, the Company entered into two separate Securities Purchase Agreements (each, a 'Securities Purchase Agreement') with the Selling Shareholders pursuant to which the Company sold

(i) 800,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock for gross proceeds of $10,000,000, and (ii) 200,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock for gross proceeds of $3,000,000 (such aggregate sale of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock referred to herein as the 'Offering').

As part of each Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to register the shares sold in the Offering (the 'Registrable Securities') for resale or other disposition, pursuant to a Registration Rights

Agreement with each investor (the 'Registration Rights Agreement'). Specifically, the Company agreed to (i) file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the 'SEC') a shelf registration statement with respect to the resale of the Registrable Securities on or before August 10, 2021; (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to have the shelf registration statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as possible after the initial filing, and in any event no later than September 9, 2021 (or October 9, 2021 in the event of a full review of the shelf registration statement by the SEC); and (iii) keep the shelf registration statement effective until such time as all Registrable Securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 'Securities Act') without the need for current public information or other restrictions. If the Company is unable to comply with any of the above covenants, it will be required to pay liquidated damages to the investors in the amount of 1% of the investors' purchase price for every month until such non-compliance is cured (subject to a 6% cap), with such liquidated damages payable in cash.

The Offering and issuance of the shares pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreements were exempt from registration under the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, on the basis that they did not constitute a public offering since they were being made to accredited, qualified investors and involved no general solicitation. The closing of the Offering occurred on June 28, 2021.

We currently have no agreements, arrangements, or understanding with the Selling Shareholders regarding the sale of disposition of any of the shares.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

The following description of our capital stock is not complete and may not contain all the information you should consider before investing in our capital stock. This description is summarized from, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, our articles of incorporation dated as of March 29, 2019 (as may be amended from time to time, our 'Articles') and bylaws dated as of March 29, 2019 (as may be amended from time to time, our 'Bylaws'), each of which have been publicly filed with the SEC. See 'Where You Can Find More Information.' The summary below is also qualified by reference to the provisions of the Minnesota Business Corporation Act, or the 'MBCA'. References herein to 'we,' 'us,' 'our' and the 'Company' refer to BBQ Holdings, Inc. and not to any of its subsidiaries.

General. As of the date hereof, the Company's authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares, having a par value of $.0.01 per share in the case of Common Stock, and having a par value as determined by our board of directors (the 'Board') in the case of Preferred Stock, to be held, sold and paid for at such times and in such manner as the Board may from time to time determine in accordance with Minnesota law. The Board is expressly authorized to establish more than one class or series of shares, either Preferred or Common, and to fix the relative rights, restrictions and preferences of any such different classes or series, and the authority to issue shares of a class or series to another class or series to effectuate share dividends, splits or conversion of the Company's outstanding shares. The Board also has the authority to issue rights to convert any of the Company's securities into shares of stock of any class or classes, the authority to issue options to purchase or subscribe for shares of stock of any class or classes, and the authority to issue share purchase or subscription warrants or any other evidence of such option rights which set forth the terms, provisions and conditions thereof, including the price at which such shares may be subscribed for or purchased. Such options, warrants and rights may be transferable or nontransferable and separable or inseparable from the Company's other securities to the extent provided in the applicable option, warrant, or rights instrument.

Our Articles permit us to issue one or more series of preferred stock ('Preferred Stock'), and authorize our Board to designate the number, par value, preferences, limitations, and relative rights of any such series of Preferred Stock. As of the date of this filing, the Board has not provided for or designated any series of Preferred Stock, and no Preferred Stock is issued or outstanding. Although the creation and authorization of Preferred Stock does not, in and of itself, have any effect on the rights of the holders of our Common Stock, the issuance of one or more series of Preferred Stock may affect the holders of Common Stock in a number of respects, including the following: by subordinating our Common Stock to the Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights, liquidation preferences, and other rights, preferences, and privileges; by diluting the voting power of our Common Stock; by diluting the earnings per share of our Common Stock; and by issuing Common stock, upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock, at a price below the fair market value or original issue price of the Common Stock that is outstanding prior to such issuance.

Voting Rights. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote with respect to each matter presented to our shareholders on which the holders of Common Stock are entitled to vote. Our Common Stock votes as a single class on all matters relating to the election and removal of directors on our Board and as provided by law. Holders of our Common Stock will not have cumulative voting rights. Our Articles provide that any action which may be taken at a meeting of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting and notice if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed or consented to by authenticated electronic communication by all of the shareholders entitled to notice of a meeting for such purpose.

Dividend Rights. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive such dividends as are from time to time declared by the Board out of funds legally available therefore. We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our Common Stock. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings for use in the operation of our business and do not anticipate paying any dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to declare dividends will be made at the discretion of the Board and will depend on such factors as earnings, level, capital requirement, loan agreement or other contractual restrictions, our financial condition and other factors deemed relevant by the Board.

Preemptive Rights and Conversion Rights. Holders of our Common Stock do not have preemptive rights to purchase additional shares of our Common Stock and have no conversion or redemption rights.

Liquidation and Other Rights. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of our Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities, subject to

prior distribution rights of Preferred Stock, if any, then outstanding. The holders of our Common Stock have no conversion, redemption, preemptive, subscription or similar rights. There are no sinking fund provisions for or applicable to the Common Stock. The outstanding shares of Common Stock are not liable to further call or to assessment by the Company.

The foregoing description of the Common Stock is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the Company's Articles and Bylaws, which are filed as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2 to our Current Report on Form 8-K12B filed on September 17, 2019 and incorporated herein by reference.

Listing. Our Common Stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol 'BBQ.'

Transfer Agent and Registrar. Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc. is the transfer agent and registrar for the Company's Common Stock.

Anti-takeover Effects of Minnesota Law and Our Articles and Bylaws. Certain provisions of our Articles, Bylaws, and applicable provisions of the MBCA may make it less likely that our management would be changed or someone would acquire voting control of our Company without the Board's consent. These provisions may delay, deter or prevent tender offers or takeover attempts that shareholders may believe are in their best interests, including tender offers or attempts that might allow shareholders to receive premiums over the market price of their Common Stock. Such provisions include the following:

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Selling Shareholders may from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of Common Stock or interests in shares of Common Stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.

The Selling Shareholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:

The Selling Shareholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 'Securities Act'), if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Shareholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Shareholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be 'underwriters' within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Shareholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Shareholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Shareholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Shareholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by the Selling Shareholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Shareholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Shareholders from the sale of the Common Stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the Common Stock less discounts or commissions, if any. The Selling Shareholders reserve the right to accept and, together with its agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of Common Stock to be made directly or through agents.

To the extent required, the shares of our Common Stock to be sold, the names of the selling shareholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.
