    Wow super glad we stopped in for breakfast. This was a great diner style restaurant. Largest selection of food I've seen on any menu. Service was fast and attentive food came out quick. They also have a full bar and a wide variety of drink selection. I got the wild bill staker and got the hotty toddy , also got the fajita breakfast burrito and a burning expresso martini. Food and drinks were both great!!will definitely be coming back!

    The food was fabulous, tasty, and affordable with good portions. The service was FAST and she checked on me often. This was a place with locals and tourists. Lots of singles eating at the counters and families at the tables.

    Hot Turkey
    Cindy W.

    For a place so busy, the food came out super fast! Burger was cooked perfectly. Hot turkey was scrumptious! Waitress was so nice and we never had to ask for anything since she was on top of whatever we could possibly want or need.

    Had dinner before the show. Andres was our server and he was personable and friendly. I ordered the hand rolled chile rellenos with eggs. Their serving sizes are large and filling. A side salad is huge. The rellenos were good. The green chile lovely mixed with the runny egg yolks. Toast to sop it up with. Hash browns so so. Nice unhurried dinner.

    "Venga" beer is a Mexican lager, very refreshing

    This place brings people on its own: no extra reviews are needed but will still write one because they were amazing! We were looking for a hearty meal, and were lucky to have this one within walking distance of our hotel. The food was more than enough, and very tasty! The meals were well served, and flavorful. Our server was amazing! He is there Fridays and Sundays (I'm sure more days but from what we remember) him and the staff were very friendly, and on top of our needs. I recommend the "chingon" and if you like Bloody Marys, they have a great one! The place is big; divided in 2, one side is the restaurant and the other is a bar, with opening seating (if available). Proves are very reasonable. This is a restaurant you must try!

    Veggie stacker
    Lily W.

    Eggs are one of my favorite foods so I'm happy to eat breakfast food for any meal. I walk by this location often during the work week and it's always busy, but service is super fast which is a rare treat in Denver. The location is pretty central downtown which is convenient, but not an area with a scenic view. You could say the people-watching here is interesting. I ordered the veggie stacker with eggs over easy - this is not a meal you eat with your eyes first, but if you're not shallow it's not bad. It tastes completely unseasoned but nothing a bit of salt and hot sauce can't fix. The portions are massive, I got 2 full meals out of mine.

    We were told Sam's is a staple and must visit, so we stopped by before flying back to LA. I can wholeheartedly tell you this place perfectly summed up our trip and added an emphatic exclamation point to our time in Denver. The server/bartenders were super friendly and accommodating despite the rush. Really felt the old school, friendly, neighborhood vibe that made us feel welcome. Very much looking forward to going back!

    Cinnamon Roll
    Al B.

    You must get the scratch made cinnamon roll it is amazing! Comes out warm and just melts in your mouth and great flavor with the cream cheese frosting. Service was great very attentive and personable. Great diner, great food and atmosphere absolutely would recommend.

    This was fun! We showed up on a SUPER BUSY night. We sat at the bar. We got a couple drinks and asked what we needed to try, and the sever told us to get the chili. We got one of each, and it did NOT disappoint. Both were really really good. (I try chili everywhere I can.) The green chili was on DDD. They had bingo going. The atmosphere was fun and festive. The restaurant is a diner, so don't expect too much in terms of super clean and polished decor. The seats can be wobbly, the tables are squeezed together. But it's great! We also got the burger, didn't finish. Literally nothing to write home about. But, the server didn't suggest that, and we went against what he did suggest, so that's on us. Would 100% come back.

    Very busy because of theater events. We were seated within the estimated time (20 minutes). Crowded, busy and noisy again because of theater event. Seating is spacious and plentiful. Prices are in keeping with traditional theater district prices. I ordered the meatloaf with two sides. I got tater tots and Mac and cheese. The food arrived quickly and hot. My partner had a beer gyro. Her meal arrived with mine. It was a generous d

    This place has a cheesecake factory sized menu! It's good they don't rush you when you try to order, because theres a lot to take in! If you're a fan of Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives, this place was on there. I got a breakfast burrito covered in Chile verde, and it was pretty good. The service was good and friendly, and everyone in my group enjoyed their food. It gets really busy, especially when the DODGERS are in town (Go Dodgers).

    Breakfast BBBBB&T
    TJ I.

    I had a fantastic breakfast at this Sam's no3. I ordered the breakfast BBBBB&T on sourdough bread. The sandwich was enormous, and I barely managed to finish it. The hash browns were also delicious, but they were quite large, so I couldn't finish them. The service was excellent, and the coffee was never cold. The food arrived very quickly.

    Chocolate Cake shake
    Mercedes H.

    We came for brunch and overall had a good experience. I ordered the huevos rancheros--great flavors, yummy beans, and my eggs were cooked perfectly. The only downside was that the tortilla on the bottom was extremely soggy, but thankfully they brought a warm tortilla on the side, which helped a lot. My daughter had the burger and said it was cooked medium-rare exactly as she requested and she loved it. We also tried the chili fries, and those were a hard pass for us. They're served in a bowl and ended up very soggy--these might work better served on a flat plate. The chicken and waffles were ok. The chocolate shake was filling but also our daughter got the half size serving. Our server offered this as an option when we told her the 30 ounce would be too large. Nice of her. Service was excellent. I don't remember our server's name, but she was patient, kind, and very service-oriented. The wait for a table was about 50 minutes, but they use Yelp's waitlist system, which tells you exactly how many people are ahead of you, making it much easier to plan and gauge the wait. They were featured on Guy Fieris Diners, Drive ins and dives so it's popular!

    Hola! Do you serve bottomless mimosas?

    No.

    Do you take reservations?

    No reservations, however the host keeps a list as people check in to request a table. You can call ahead at busy times to add your name to the list. The host usually has a pretty good idea of how long the wait will be. There's always immediate… Read more

    Do they take reservations?

    No but the wait is generally shorter than stated.

    Can luggage be brought in when dining in?

    I'm not sure but staff is really nice so they may accommodate your request.

    Where are other locations?

    Here's a list! http://bfy.tw/Ni6x

    Yes, breakfast is served all day!

    Hello - does anyone know if they have a Gluten Free menu or can accommodate?

    They have a gluten free guild on the menu. It's also a lot of breakfast items so easy to accommodate but there is always chances of cross contamination in a mixed kitchen.

    There's no way that I know of, even their website doesn't give you the option to buy a GC. https://samsno3.com/

    For a tourist chain, Yard House was surprisingly good. Jayla showed me to my seat kindly. The…read morerestaurant was not too crowded or loud. I had the whiskey glaze burger with a veggie patty and sweet potato fries plus a sparkling passion fruit drink. The food was delicious and came out hot. Things had started off slow however. My server was Shannon, and it took him 20 minutes to return with the single water I had ordered when I first showed up. Not sure what that was about, but after that initial issue, it was smooth sailing. I like that you can pay for your bill on the table screens, it made the process easy.

    Yard House says they have "Great Beer... with the world's largest selection of draft beer, Great…read morefood & Great Music". They play classic rock & it's loud. A little hard to have a conversation across the table. However, the food was wonderful. We arrived late in the afternoon on a Sunday & they were relatively busy. Yard House has been around for 30 years with tons of locations all over the U.S. This location is in the downtown Sheraton Hotel & of course being downtown parking can be a challenge. Yard House doesn't take reservations but they do have a Waitlist. Service was great...we were seated immediately & greeted by our friendly & attentive Server. Drinks & Apps came fast. We had the Fried Calamari & Miguel's Queso Dip to start. The crispy Calamari was nice & tender - served with two yummy sauces, a Spicy Tomato & a Roasted Jalapeño Tarter. The Queso Dip was good as well but we needed more of everything - dip, tortillas & chips. We had a couple of entrees. First, was a 20 oz Bone-in Korean Rib Eye with Grilled Shrimp & Chili Garlic Fries. This was a huge plate of deliciousness. The steak was cooked perfectly & marinated in a strong soy ginger marinade which I enjoyed. The Grilled Shrimp were a nice compliment & the Fries were spicy. In hindsight I should have chosen the Parmesan Mashed Potatoes as my side to balance out the dish better. Our second entree was Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken, this was good as well - grilled chicken & creamy Alfredo. What a fun place to go with tasty food.

    Elevated Hospitality: A Masterclass in Event Execution at Tom's Watch Bar…read more I recently organized an event for 120 guests at Tom's Watch Bar in Denver, and the experience was nothing short of spectacular. From the initial contract phase to the final onsite execution, the team proved they are true masters of high-stakes hospitality. The Vision & Planning Working with Joanna during the planning phase was a dream. She is a consummate professional with a sharp eye for detail. She understood exactly how to translate our brand into the space, creating a custom Denver-themed digital design featuring our logo that played across every large screen. The energy it brought to the room was palpable--our Immediate Past President was so impressed she's already requested the same "wow factor" for all our future events. The Spread The catering exceeded all expectations. We opted for a diverse package that catered beautifully to everyone, including our vegetarian and vegan guests. The Savory: The mac & cheese was a crowd favorite, and the chicken tenders were perfectly crispy and moist. The loaded sliders and tater tot bar also kept the energy high throughout the evening. The Sweet: Do not miss the dessert bar. Specifically, there is a peanut butter bar with an incredible internal crunch that is absolutely addictive. The Atmosphere & Entertainment The venue layout is genius. We had a mix of indoor seating for both small and large group discussions, plus an incredible outdoor space with stunning stadium views. We brought in a third-party karaoke vendor, and the staff--Joanna, Zach and Matt--coordinated with them so seamlessly behind the scenes that I didn't have to worry about a single technical detail. Between the karaoke, Jenga, and cornhole, there was never a dull moment. The Service What truly sets this venue apart is the personal touch. Zach and Matt are absolute stars. Knowing I was busy managing the entrance and welcoming guests, they went out of their way to check in on me personally, ensuring I had food and a drink in hand. That level of care for an event organizer is rare and deeply appreciated. If you are looking for a venue that combines a high-energy atmosphere with white-glove professional service, Tom's Watch Bar is the place. Request Joanna, Zach, and Matt--you'll be in the best hands in Denver.

I was unimpressed with the quality & quantity of the food, especially based on the Mile high prices. My burger was very flat, almost like a cheap hamburger patty from a fast food restaurant. Besides being thin, my burger was undercooked. How does that happen to a sliver of a burger? My experience at Tom's Watch was fun, but too expensive.
