Food is cheeks. Here’s “The Mozzarella”, wings, and fries. Food was warm, underseasoned, and lazily thrown together. When we asked for their White Claw flavors, our waitress said twice that “it’s random”. So, I got up and looked myself. They had lime, pineapple, and berry. The atmosphere is cool, but Seattle is full of spots with better vibes. So, why bother with this place at all?

Had a wonderful experience at Sam’s on a recent Saturday afternoon.
Riley was our server, bartender, and Seattle guide all in one.
Food was prepped perfectly and came out timely and hot, so definitely no complaints there, as we had delicious wings and a VERY good burger…
Good vibes at Sam’s with plenty of TV’s and forgot to mention outside seating.
But to add again, it was Riley who was able to keep the patrons happy, with his hard work paying off as he tended to everybody without much waiting for our food and drinks.
Thanks Riley for making our stop such a good one!!

A Vibrant place right in the heart of the Seattle downtown SLU area. Nice seating with patio and it has got everything a sports bar is expected of. The service is really good, and people working here are friendly.
A BIG PLUS: Caters to a decent crowd and has really cool weekend parties with DJ.

We came here after the superbowl parade. Found a seat no problem. We had to go to bar to get our drink..no big deal. Told the staff had to take our food order at the table….ok! Ordered ONE cheeseburger. Waited for well over an hour all tables around got their food. Ours never showed up. Terrible service. One gal working. Told us twice she was checking on our burger. I’d love to tell you how the food was but we never did get it. Next time…staff up for events like this.

Love coming here for a quick bite, probably one of my favorite places to come and grab a classic combo; grilled cheese and some soup. I tried their broccoli and cheddar this round and was really good. Haven’t had a chance to get a bread bowl yet (sometimes not available).
I’ve always come during the early lunch, and it’s always a medium-pace busy. Good, fast, friendly service.

Went there to watch the Seahawks and our bartender Reilly was very attentive. His drinks were made with love, and the food was pretty good! The amount of tvs in the restaurant offer a view from every angle. I will coming back to see what it’s like on the weekend.

Really awesome spot – we caught the Super Bowl here in a big group. Taelyr, our server was nothing shy of excellent. Food was flavorful and well seasoned. Bottomless fires were a big plus, too. Will absolutely be making a return.

was here for happy hour – and ended up getting the mini mozz bowl and loaded fries
we had no idea what the mini mozz bowl was going to be – it ended up being a few mozzarella sticks with fries and cheese. the actual mozzarella sticks were decent; with a crispy exterior and a good enough cheese pull, but the fries were actively bad
the loaded fries were very unappetizing. i don’t know who thought beans was a good idea, but it was not. i did not like this at all
at $7 each for these appetizers, it’s also overpriced.
there aren’t a ton of good bars in this area, but would stilladvise against going here. 3/10

In my experience, we normally see an automated tip added for large groups or in fine dining places, but wherever it happens – the server discloses that info when the check arrives. Sam’s is just a sports bar, and we did not notice the sign on the door while coming in. There were just two of us sitting at the bar and the bartender very eagerly accepted our $40 cash tip without saying a word. Only after we came home, we realized that there was a $30 tip added to the credit card receipt as well.
