    Wing basket - garlic parmesan.
    Michael D.

    I was looking for a new place to try for drinks & food not far from home so I decided to give Sam's a try. Big mistake. I started off ordering a Lagunitas IPA. I could tell from the first sip they hadn't cleaned their tap lines in a while. I ordered a double bourbon to chase the bad taste away. Next, I decided to try an order of wings - parmesan garlic with bleu cheese. They wings were on the slimy side rather than crisp & they were literally swimming in oil. Literally, the worst wings I've ever had in my life. I couldn't finish them. Daring to push on, I ordered their 'famous' stuffed pastrami sandwich. Stuffed? More like barely filled - and I could feel my blood pressure rising with each over-salty bite. I will never, ever go back. Avoid at all costs!

    Y'all Guinness!!!!! Oh yeah & beer menu!!!!
    Michelle N.

    We stopped in because of first place we were at wasn't able to play UA -vs-Colorado game. Didn't even know there was a Famous Sam's in OV. Had a great time. Guinness was drink of night & it was flowing well! I had sliders with bacon and you can never go wrong with adding bacon. Hubby had pastrami-which he always order's from there. UA won and it was a great night! Bear down!

    Definitely my favorite medicine ;)

    I have to say, that this was a pleasant surprise of a sports bar experience. When I walked in…read moreSunday afternoon about 2 PM, most of this bar was full of customers. The bartender and server seems to be interacting with everybody, laughing and having a good time. I was told to sit down wherever I wanted and within one minute my server came over to me , got my drink order and left a food menu for me. I had a large beer that was served at the perfect temperature and ordered a Philly burger. The burger was nice and large and covered in a tasty brisket. Served with grilled onions and cheese. The french fries were also hot and very tasty. I was trying to think of my score for this experience and have to give it a five there were no real problems at all! It's a sports bar and doesn't try to be anything else. Televisions were on all over the place and there was a good energy flowing amongst the staff and customers. So everything that it is rated on; food service, and ambience all met my expectations. Great job by everybody I will definitely stop back!

    Cool local bar and grill that has drink special, pool tables and karaoke a few nights a week…read more Plenty of TVs to catch a game and 3 bar areas and outdoor seating to hang out with friends and grab a bite and a drink. The mozzarella sticks were hot, crispy and 10 to an order. Drinks were a good pour and service is great.

    I decided to revisit Trident, as it has been a few years. I usually go to another establishment,…read morebut we all need to venture out of our usual places now and again. I was greeted by the bartender who was SUPER friendly and made me feel very welcome. There were others at the bar that asked if I needed a seat at the bar. Very cool vibe. Sports bar vibe....with a family friendly place as well. The second bartender that relived the first one was..nice and friendly, but I did not get that "happy your here "feeling. I ordered the HH cod tacos with slaw, avocado lime sauce, and salsa. They were so good!! The blend of the fresh fish with the slaw....YUMMY. The fish was perfectly cooked. Crisp and not greasy, and so flavorful. I wondered why they delivered a bunch of napkins and ....a few bites in I realized. All over the face, and dripping down the chin....good!! :-) I got a burger to go, with added green chilies. I asked for rare, and I got medium to medium well. Sad panda, but it is still a good burger. I just really love to taste the burger at a rare temp. I also asked for a cup of the gumbo. My first bite was SO salty. I don't know if it was in storage or not fresh, but it was a salt lick. Could not taste the flavor past the saltiness. Good locals place, and prices are reasonable. I appreciate a Veteran owns the establishment and since I am a Veteran as well....I will always support Veteran owned!!

    The good news: portion sizes are quite large, and their fries are wonderful…read more The bad news: be careful before ordering an appetizer, you probably won't finish your entree. We had to try the deep fried pickles (excellent, they are spears not chips), but I had to leave most of my fries behind. Also be aware that the sound level can be pretty high making it hard to carry on a conversation without shouting. Service was snappy and efficient - our drinks were kept full. Atmosphere is bar-like with a see-through kitchen. My wife had the fish & chips - excellent. I had the Captain's platter which is a little bit of everything. The shrimp were to die for. The one downside is everything came fried in the same batter & oil, so everything starts to kinda taste the same. We'll be back the next time we get a craving for deep-fried seafood!
