    Smoked Prime Rib
    Dwight O.

    Sammy's has a very friendly staff. The menu has an old school vibe, in a good way! If you live in Lebanon, you owe it to yourself to experience dining in this classic restaurant. I end up sitting in the bar area like 75% of the time I go there and I like it. Lots to see, closer to the salad bar, and comfy chairs! I always order a beef dish there...steak or prime rib and I'm always satisfied. My wife has had pork chop, fish, and last night tried a Sailor Wrap or something like that and enjoyed it. I would like to see a little restoration like the carpet, some freshened paint but that won't keep me away. Please give this gem a chance!

    First time trying Sammy Bs , it was great. From the UGA to the Reuben it was all tasty. The building couldn't have been better. Old Victorian, haunted (just joking ) but has a rich history . The service was great as well .

    Brought someone to Sammy Bs bc I'd been there once and had a great experience. (The tab/2: $100.) This night we were sat in the managers station and our service could not have been worse. We were not greeted with a smile but a snarl and a swipe at me. Waters we requested were forgotten and brought out after we asked repeatedly. When asked about the specials we were asked don't you know the menu? I ordered crab cakes with asparagus and was actually given burnt spears that were inedible. When asked to return them, she snatched them from our table without an apology and brought back perfect ones after I'd finished the meal. Isn't she supposed to be quality control? Didn't offer a to go box or offer a dessert choice. The best part of the night was the excellent wine choices and table side banter delivered by the incomparable James the long suffering and dapper bartender. His eloquent story of a patrons' painting of him that hangs near the bar was a hoot and a holler as well as the Sr. Queen of Wilson County sitting at the next table in full regalia complete with a sky high crown and sash. Almost perfect evening!

    Sammy B's is located in a building formerly part of the Castle Heights Military Academy. The historical feel of the building is definitely the coolest part of eating here. Everything in this building, from the staircase to the bar, seems like it has stories to tell. We were seated at a table in the enclosed porch with a view of the grounds. Our waitress was really friendly and knew the menu (which is pretty big) well enough to give us some tips. The food was decent. If you're all the way out in Lebanon, this is a good choice.

    Sweet potato woah It actually was delicious however when I first saw it I literally said " woah! " it was swimming in a pool of butter. I like the liveliness of this place, especially on a Friday night. The service was impeccable - good old southern hospitality.

    A beautiful hidden gem in Lebanon. The location is not in plain sight but once you find it, you'll understand. The inside is beautifully decorated with an old charm. We were seated in less than 3 minutes outdoors by this very nice woman who moved things around to accommodate just the 2 of us. Our server was Jen (I think. You'll know her because she has beautiful eyes) who recommended a few things. We had some cocktails and crab dip to begin. Those cocktails were wonderfully made. The crab dip was my least favorite meal. It was a little runny and oniony. I personally like my crab dip thick and creamy. The star of the night was the steak salad. They make their dressings in house, so I will honestly say, that dressing was the best I've ever had. Also, the fried green tomato and bacon sandwich was delicious (ask for less sauce so the tomato flavor can come forward). Their sweet potato fries were crispy and perfect. They have a cherry mustard that is unique and we were dipping our fries in it. I can see that mustard on a turkey sandwich. All these meals and drinks were priced reasonably for the amount you receive. I will definitely go again. FYI-Tuesdays have ladies night specials :)

    I was pleasantly impressed by their menu the 1st time I tried Sammy B's and this time it was even better! I wish I'd known that there was a 3-6pm Happy Hour or I'd have stopped by 30mins sooner.

    It's all about the atmosphere of the bar and glassed-in porch... so worth it. And generous drinks.

    Stopped in at JP's Bar and Grill on a whim tonight with my husband and his coworker--and we're so…read moreglad we did! Our bartender, Tarah, was fantastic--super sweet, attentive, and made us feel right at home. She even brought out tartar sauce, ketchup, ranch, and their house sauce (which was fire). Major points for service! We ordered a few rounds of drinks and some food, and everything hit the spot. My husband's coworker and I got the po' boy slider baskets with tater tots, and my husband had the hot ham and cheese with fries. Not only was everything delicious, but both of us agreed--those po' boys were the best we've had outside of Louisiana! The vibe inside was laid-back with a definite sports bar feel, pool tables, and the other patrons were chill. We'll definitely be back!

    I was getting a haircut at Big Daddys barber shop when Bill brings in a plate of food from JPs bar…read moreand grille. It looked dang good and everyone was talking about how good the food is. It was lunchtime so off O went. So yes it's a bar. Yes it smells of cigarettes. But the food was amazing. This chicken wrap isn't listed on their menu, but they'll make it for you! Comes with tots, fries, or chips. Every soul in this place was super nice. They will chat with you. I may have to come back and hang out. They have pool tables, cold beer, a bar with specialty drinks, video games, and other activities. The place is huge too. The food portions are big. You probably won't be able to eat all of your meal here.
