This is a Regular Joe hangout so expect the basics, like an ice cold beer or a cheap well cocktail. It's the perfect place to shoot the bull with the guys (or girls) after work or to kick back with a couple of cold ones after eating dinner across the street. Just don't forget to tip the bartender.

I can't comment too much on the food, as I wasn't that hungry when I ordered and only had a waffle…read more The waffle was decent, However by the time I got my food, I was actually pretty hungry because it took 2 hours to get our food. This visit was one of the craziest restaurant experiences I've had to date. I'll try to abbreviate this review but here are the highlights: We started by ordering 8 waters and only got 2. Then 5 of the other waters came about 15 minutes later, along with the 1 coffee we ordered that was spilled on the person who ordered it by the waitress, who didn't apologize or offer any napkins for clean up. (We had no napkins or silverware). Two plates of food (2 of 8) came out within about 30 minutes of ordering. We then asked for silverware and napkins and about 10 minutes later the server came and dropped a pile of silverware on our table and 2 napkins for us to share. The rest of our food took another hour to come out... after we asked twice for a status update. The waitress did apologize and said she was going to give us a 15% discount for the wait but failed to actually apply the discount to our ticket. They also charged us for 2 extra sides at $4.50 each that we didn't get. We didn't say anything because we just wanted to get out of there. Do not recommend.

The Sample Room is a restaurant located on the lower level of the Midland Railroad Hotel (a…read morehistoric hotel). The restaurant got its name from the olden days when merchants traveling through Wilson would use this area to display their products or "samples". We were staying at the Midland RR Hotel and wanted to try the restaurant as well. The room has a very historic look and feel. Due to its location in the basement and the lack of modern acoustics, it was a little on the noisy side. I was thrilled that the chef's daily special was Shepherds Pie. My Irish ancestory kicked in and I had the special. The Sample Room's take on Shepherd's Pie was excellent. I also had an appetizer of Gizapaco (their take on gazpacho) which was also quite good. My wife had the Reuben with fries which was also great. The service was good, the decor and atmosphere was historic and we had a great time. Would definitely stop here again.

Fortunately, there was an open table when we arrived, and we were greeted and seated pretty quickly. It took a few minutes for our server to take our order, but we could tell she was covering most of the tables. Once we ordered, our food arrived promptly. I had a bowl of the tomato basil soup, which is gluten-free and very tasty. My partner had the breakfast plate with bacon, quiche, grapes, and toast, and he enjoyed his meal as well. After we finished eating, we waited a while for our check, but our server was tied up handling to-go orders, so we ended up paying at the bar. Even so, it was still a good experience on what was clearly a short-staffed day for the team.

My husbands drink was made incorrectly and he received some kick back when he brought that up to the bartender. We've been to several fuzzys in several states and the beer rita has never been made like this so I don't know why the bartender claimed it was how it is in the recipe book. My breakfast tacos were supposed to have (according to the menu both in store and online) eggs, pico, chorizo, bacon, cheese and garlic aïoli . They showed up a greasy tortilla filled with just meat and cheese. I had to go back up to the counter and request my other ingredients and literally just made my own tacos at the table. My husband's quesadilla was literally dripping liquid to the point that he squeezed out what he could, wrapped it in napkins and said he'd just "fix it when we got home". We ended up walking across the parking lot and dining at Applebees where we received cheaper food and drinks and MUCH better service. It's a spacious restaurant with a cute patio so not all bad
