Came here on a Friday night for karaoke! It was sooo much fun. The vibes are divey and laid back. Our waitress was okay. She misspoke about the drink specials which I thought was annoying and surprising. The DJ for Karaoke was Rich. Awesome guy who definitely kept the party going. I had a blast and would absolutely come back!!!! read more

Famous Sam's - American Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Sammi was amazing. So sweet and professional. Friendly. Will come back to see her anytime.

I used to frequent Famous Sam's locations years ago. I recently moved back to the area after being gone 18+ years. I was a little concerned about the reviews for all the locations. I chose this one on Golf Links to visit. First, I arrived about 1 pm on a Saturday. The place was fairly busy. Everyone seemed to be having a good time. My server, Pat S came over quickly and took my drink order. She returned quickly with my drinks and I gave her my order with specific instructions. Pastrami sandwich, no mustard, provolone instead of Swiss, a side of mayo, fries and a side salad with no onions and Thousand Island dressing. Boom! Salad out first, perfect! SCORE!!! The pastrami sandwich had a decent amount of meat on it (not as much as years ago, but that's the way things are now). Pat checked on me a few times, refilled drinks when needed. I have zero complaints and don't understand the low reviews. Being a sports bar, it wasn't overly noisy. TVs everywhere. Tables and dining area very clean. Restrooms were also clean and all products available. I will return when I am in the area again. Thanks, Famous Sam's. You did not disappoint. read more

Service: absolutely horrible. Walked in waited over 25 minutes for a server to come over and no it was not crowded to top it off. We were bothering her by asking for water, etc.. We never go back too many rude servers there. read more

I wanted to friendliest local sports bars. Staff is excellent. The food is good. Any ambience is excellent..

I haven't been here in many years. We did a girls lunch yesterday. It was busy, like normal with those cowboy fans. The food was very yummy, I got mild wings, cooked well done for that extra crisp. They honestly were as good as (if not better than) another popular wing place in town, for a fraction of the price! There were 5 of us in our group. The quotes looked pretty stressed. She forgot one girls beer... twice. She served a child hot sandwich to another girl. And totally forgot another girl's sandwich. She was nice, but they really need to get more servers in there. It appeared there were only 3 servers! Yikes! If you go, try those wings!! read more

Customer service is horrible! No manager on site. Called and asked about specials (over the phone) they told me it was burger day so I order two and when I arrive they say the special price is only for sit down orders. The girl on the phone never mentioned that part and handed me a bill for 30 dollars so I walked out. Service sucks I'm sure there owners and food does as well read more

Delicious Grinder! Hot fresh fries- service was fair- could've been a bit friendlier and attentive

Famous Sam's has been a quick dinner and beer staple in my family for years. Their salads are huge, wings delicious, and they have daily specials. Wether you are wanting to watch a game or listen to live music this place will not let you down! read more

Great job with the Internet !!!! The owners are the best. Always on top of the patrons needs and requests.

Love love loveeeeee Famous Sams! Food 10/10, drinks 10/10, service 10/10, music 10/10, seating 10/10. read more

This place is trash. The workers were obviously under the influence. My waitress smart mouth. Bathrooms were disgusting and it took nearly an hour for me to get 12 chicken wings, and a slider. read more

Coming down to Tucson to visit my relatives, I was invited to eat here. The place is not bad per the layout. The place was not fully packed. So when the waitresses took our order I thought cool let's chill and have great catch up time with the relatives. To make a shirt story shorter, the wait time for our meal was longer than expected. My fish tacos were marginal. The beans tasted like canned beans. Would I ever return here again? Only for a non alcoholic beverage. Food wise no. However this is just my opinion, please try it out yourself to draw your own conclusions Bin Appétit read more

Dean kept staring into my eyes. Thank you for the back rub. Didn't realize that was a wing flavor. Best service I've ever had.

Potato skins were burnt and cold. Nachos were also cold and the ground beef was burnt as well. Service was extremely slow almost 30 minutes to get our drinks! read more

Famous Sam's - The nachos - American Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Horrible order and service. I paid for extra celery and carrots, and I only got one order of it. My wings are extremely dry. I am choking on them. There's hardly any sauce on them and I was given the wrong flavor. I asked for Sriracha, honey and mango habanero, the Sriracha honey has no flavor at all and there's only seasoning, that taste plain like no flavor at all. I would think that Sriracha honey would be a liquid flavor not a dry rub. Mango habanero has hardly any sauce on them. I ordered these wings specifically for the flavor so I would expect you to drench them not put less than half. it's very disappointing. I was looking forward to this. There's no effort put into my order. Worst wings I've ever had. Horrible cook. Ranch is very watery too so slides off wings and runs out faster read more

This was their 12$ fish sandwich. The onion rings were not cooked all the way and had dry breading between the overlapped soggy ones. The wings a great size but too tough to chew and there must've been a sauce shortage also drove across town to return the sandwich, deboned the chicken for the dogs, threw the rings ! 50$ lesson * The gal on the ph was very pleasant read more

Love the pastrami sandwich! Definitely try it! I've also ordered the fish and chips and it was perfect as well.

Best wings I have had . Perfectly flavored. The sweet chile peppers my favorite. We love the blue cheese for our sauce. The people are always friendly. Family atmosphere. People there to just enjoy their food and company. read more

Came here for a friend's birthday party but I already ate dinner. The food looked amazing! I had a few delicious drinks and enjoyed the atmosphere. I have to give an extra special shout out to a server, Kayla! I witnessed her nearly drop four trays of food. Only one tray spilled on a clean nearby table. Some servers may have collected the food and served it but she had this tray re-made. This really stuck out to me, especially in a post covid time where germs are still top of my mind for most people! read more

Great diner breakfast. Huge portions. We always regret it when we don't split a order. Line can be very long, so try to go early or late, and probably not on weekends. read more

I can't say enough great things about Famous Sam's! Their food is always top quality and the customer service is unbeatable! Not only can you get a great variety of Phillies but you also have unmatched burgers, fresh and hot wings, not to mention the unforgettable Chili/soups! Easily my favorite place to eat in Tucson! read more

I used to frequent the crap out of this FS for years after coming off Fred Enke, playing 18. Have not been back in many moons. We decided to give them a try. Now I remember why I spent so much money and time here!! Hot pastrami and cheese, with fries....nothing else needs to be said, other than the zuccs and shrooms. My wife had the Patty Melt and went to town on that. This FS is now in our permanent rotation for dining options. If you never tried them, give them a shot. Haven't been there several chapters back, get back over there! read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this place! Their fried mushroom with ranch dip was so very good! The batter was light, airy ,and crispy...delicious! Their mushroom burger was also very good, it looked dry and unimpressive at first but it turned out to be very juicy and delicious! Their Funnel Cake Fries are so so, but their Raspberry Mini Chimis are heavenly! read more

Famous Sam's is one of the best places around golf links. There are specials through the week as well as happy hour and reverse happy hour. Nice little local hangout with live bands. I don't have any complaints about the service. The servers and bartenders have always been great. After having burgers which were "ok" by that I mean the hamburger meat has much to be improved upon especially when compared to other restaurants I've been to that charge the same price for the burger. I really only have two complaints: 1. The the beef in the nachos is horrendous in my opinion, I would love turkey meat, chili, canned beef stew, anything other than the beef in he nachos, the rest of the nachos are great, one of the few places that you will run out of nacho chips before running out of toppings and the portion is great for the price. 2. The bathroom for males, guys.. etc. the disturbing factor rivals that of old gas station bathrooms, I thought I needed to go to church afterwards to properly clean my soul after exiting the bathroom. Maybe I had bad timing but it has been the same experience every time I've seen the bathroom. Other than that, it's a great place and they have pool tables and a few other arcade games. read more

Decided to get some food delivered from Sam's while they were shut down for dine-in. Food came packaged very well and with plenty of food. I ordered wings, sliders and fries and they sent enough of everything on top of sauces, napkins etc. The only downside was the sliders were pretty overcooked and the wings (medium) dry. I've dined in several times and know this would've been remedied immediately if I was there. I can appreciate everything else though and would order again. read more

Had famous Sam's over the weekend. We ordered delivery with Grubhub. Excellent experience! My friend has been telling me about their pastrami sandwich for a long time so ordered famous pastrami, club sandwich, and fish&chips. All of the food was well prepared. I liked the pastrami..delicious! My friend remembers it being bigger and meatier but it seemed like a fair size to me. Club sandwich was perfect! Fries arrived crispy not a soggy droopy mess. Fish was ok. Cooked well just wasn't the hubby's favorite version. I'm sure it's not what famous Sam's is famous for. Delivery was safe and respectful FYI read more

We received the incorrect food through Uber eats and it could have been a total pain in the butt however Karina at Famous Sam's (I hope I'm spelling that right) went above and beyond in her customer service and worked it out for us! Instead of ending the night frustrated and hungry my faith in good customer service was restored and we are enjoying some yummy food! Thank you so much for taking a disappointing mix up and turning it into a lovely interaction read more

I thought they did a great job with the distancing thing. The food was delicious. The drinks were strong but not burnt. The waitress was a little stressed out with how busy it was for an afternoon stop. Will be back. read more

I've only had their club sandwich but every time it's been very good. They make it fast and the potato salad is great

Great menu with many offerings. Quick service and delicious food. Fantastic beer selection.

I had the worst experience while picking up my order today. I usually post positive experiences but today was totally different. I ordered an online order and waited patiently for 10 minutes for any kind of acknowledgment. I know it can be busy on a Friday (4pm) but when staring at my order I decided to try to ask if someone could assist me. An Asian waitress proceeded to raise her voice when I asked if someone assist me. She yelled, " You can't go back there and wait" then she walked away. I told her not to talk to me like that and I was just trying to pick up my order after a long day at work. I was stunned since I've never had anyone at a restaurant yell aggressively at me. A super nice waitress then walked by and apologized for her coworker VERY VERY rude approach and retrieved my order. Not only was that embarrassing, it was belittling. Management defiantly needs to address her. read more

I ordered 2 bacon cheeseburgers at 5:45 tonight. They told me to give them 30-35 minutes because they were busy. I got there at 6:15 and there were only people sitting at the bar. They asked me what they could get for me. I told them I had ordered 2 Bacon Cheeseburgers They brought it right up and I payed. I live 5 minutes from there. When I got home at 6:25 I took my wife's and my burgers and plated them. They weren't even room temperature. Almost cold. I looked in both of them. Neither had Bacon or Cheese. I wish I hadn't tipped them. I don't call and complain. I just never return. So buyer beware if you want a cold burger with nothing that you ordered on it. FAMOUS SAMS is the place to order a very disappointing burger from. read more

The margarita is on point. The food is bomb and I just found my bartender on tinder and we matched...... Win, Win, and WINNNNN read more

I'd like to give a 3.5 but I'm gonna round up because the service was solid. If you want a divey/small town bar kind of feel, then this is the place for you. I only came for lunch because I heard they had a great pastrami sandwich. The place seemed to have a good amount of "regulars " hanging out. I was a bit put off at first because it took a long time to get anyone's attention to order. But once we ordered , all was good. I got the pastrami and it was really good. They give you hot mustard on the side and it was the perfect addition to the salty crispy pastrami. The BF had a cheesesteak and he wolfed it so I guess it was good. The prices were fair, the service ended up being good, and the table was clean. All in all a solid meal read more

We went to Famous Sam's to watch football one Sunday in December. It's been years since we have gone there. Still looks the same inside - kinda old and rundown, but we always liked the food. We ordered a couple of beers and split one of their "famous" pastrami sandwiches. It was as good as I remember ! The crispy, crunchy fries were very good also. The service was good even though it was very busy. Good pub food with a wide variety on the menu is how I would describe it. Definitely a good spot for watching sports with decent food ! read more

Always feel like family here! All the staff great me when I enter! Generous drinks'! Great bar menu! Owners are almost always on site! Live music on the weekends! Love this place! read more

It is a perfect place to hangout and just grab a drink with a friend. It can be noisy is the only reason I gave it a 4.
