Sam's is a great place to watch a game! Their food is good, just kind of expensive for what it is. It's a family friendly atmosphere.

Locally owned and operated, Sam's place truly is a fun neighborhood hangout. The walls are lined with TVs, the bar is fully stocked, and Sundays are for brunch buffet, making it enjoyable for the whole family or group of friends. The menu is typical pub/bar food, but with a large variety of options. All of it is well done and the large portions are well worth the prices. Some of my favorite entrees include the French dip and the Caesar salad with salmon. I also love the sweet potato fries. Service is always friendly and you can tell the staff genuinely enjoy being part of the team. One guy regularly hums and sings during his shift. If you wanna catch a game or just have a hearty meal amongst your neighbors, this is the place to be. read more

Sam's Place is the Sports Bar child of Sperry's with TVs on every wall, huge EC planes hanging from the ceiling, a full bar, wine list and great service. The Caesar Salad with Salmon is excellent; the Salmon is perfectly done. read more

Since my last review we've continued to have mixed experiences. I've left my rating unchanged because I mostly want to caution you to be careful when ordering wine during happy hour. There are but 2 choices, and Pinot Grigio is not one of them. It's a little unclear IMO that there is no house wine for all of the popular wine varieties. You might get a $13 surprise for a so so glass if you aren't paying attention. read more

Finally ventured here and if you like a good sports bar with food, think you found the place. Staff were really nice and on top of everything! We ordered their Sweet & Spicy Wings and they have good wings. Ordered a Lunch Special 9in Cheese Pizza for the kiddo - found out Kids Menu was a mini. Kid approved pizza. Ordered this Veggie with half sausage. It was okay. Sausage was really good! Veggie pizza was good, and nice that it wasn't soggy at all which sometimes happens when you order a veggie. A little too much bell pepper on the pie. The crust was okay, felt a little underbaked and needed salt. However I realized we were the only ones eating pizza and everyone around was ordering the burger, so will have to go back and try that! Good selection of beers. All in all, good experience but probably need to try more from their menu. read more

My server Ty has been great from the start and the food is amazing! 10/10 service will always come back here read more

Attentive service and food delivery. Good hamburgers and Fries. Happy hour daily 3-7. Was packed for Wednesday evening

We visited on a weeknight, and it was a little busy. (However there were several empty tables). There were a lot of people waiting and we were quoted a 30 minute wait, but were seated closer to 20. However, we waited for about 10 minutes before anyone came by the table to take a drink order. We went ahead and ordered food to expedite the process. We didn't order anything too fancy and the food came out in a reasonable time. The food was fine, however the service here is not the best. We waited for quite some time before a server came back to ask if wanted dessert (we did) and a really long time to get our check. We ended up just getting up and finding our server so we could pay and leave. Who was just chatting with coworkers when we found them. This place used to be great but the last couple of times the service has been mediocre at best. read more

So happy I now live close to this location, as this location is 100x better than the Belle Meade location. Night and day! First up, the Cajun pepperoni pizza, so tasty here. At the other location it was not seasoned well, not enough cheese and crust burned. But here, everything spot on. I wish they had some hot honey in house to drizzle on it, but still a winner. My favorite thing to order is actually their Caesar salad with salmon. Pro tip: add tomato and feta. *chefs kiss* -- I'm a Caesar connoisseur, and this is one of my favorites in town. Dressing tangy and right consistency to hug everything without being overpowering. Salmon perfectly cooked. Lettuce crisp and fresh (you'd be surprised at the amount of places serving wilted brown lettuce in salads). Service is excellent. Interior very clean. Don't love the bathrooms (those get neglected from time to time so sometimes dirty), but I live so close if an off day I can just drive home and not worry about it. Prices are reasonable and you get what you pay for. I'm not a huge sports person, but if you are, they literally have anything you can possibly think of to watch. Last time I was there we watched a hot dog eating contest. I'm sad to admit how into it I got. Like a car crash... I couldn't look away. Anyway, nothing but good things here. Keep it up team!! read more

Food On point! Went with a huge group of coworkers and everyone said the food was delicious. We ordered ribs, blackened barramundi fish tacos, homemade veggie burger, southern coleslaw amongst other items. Seasonings were spot on, veggie burger had a great balance to it. Service Considering we had well over 20 people, the service was quick and very attentive. Drinks were constantly filled and the entrées came out in a reasonable time. Ambiance It had a sports bar vibe with the vast amount of TVs and the groups around the restaurant. Definitely a great place to hang out on a Friday during happy hour. read more

Decent food. Pleasant service. Nice ambiance. No negatives just nothing extraordinary.

BEWARE OF THE RIBS!! i got the ribs and tenders combo and i got awful food poisoning. i threw up for hours til all i could do was gag. i got severely sick feeling like i was going to faint and a pounding headache it was unlike anything i've experienced. Though the ribs were amazing definitely not worth the aftermath. read more

Cauliflower crust pizza here is my favorite. Normally the service here is great, slightly disappointed tonight as they brought food to the table and disappeared and we had no silverware. We had trouble getting anyone's attention and finally flagged someone who wasn't our server down and he got us silverware. Then when my husband cut into his burger it was red in the middle. Again couldn't get anyone's attention so he ate around the red until the server finally came by. My husband had eaten all his fries and all the outside of the burger at that point so he didn't want them to remake it. They took it off the check. It was a pretty busy night so we will chalk this one mediocre experience up to that and we will be back. read more

I loved the Hendersonville location when I lived there and was super excited to see this location minutes from my new home. I've been a handful of times since moving here a few weeks ago (who wants to unpack all day then cook, am I right?) and one of the staff members already knows to start pouring a Guinness for me when I walk in. Great wings, ribs, rice and beans, Guinness, staff, service, price, and speed. I'm happy to become a regular at Sam's. read more

We met friends for lunch on a cold December Friday and felt very warm and welcomed here! Our server was very sweet, helpful, patient and attentive and someone else stopped by to see how things were going, as well. The music was on but not bothersome so we could chat, plenty of televisions to glance at for a score, but not distracting. It's a huge and very clean place. Three of us got salads- they raved and finished the perfectly sized portions. I got a veggie burger off the $9.95 lunch menu which was pretty good but crumbly, and we all shared my side of tasty onion rings. Overall- nice bar menu, fun place to meet friends, and very friendly!! I'd return!! read more

Fun local restaurant , always a great place to watch a game . Had a greek salad , was very good .

What a great place! Chicken tenders were absolutely fantastic. Ranch dressing delicious. Emma was our server and was absolutely amazing!! We will be back!!! read more

Awesome service with amazing food! The atmosphere was great with a sports bar vibe that makes you feel like you're part of the family

I usually just pop in here for happy hour as it gets a good crowd and it's one of the best happy hours in tow. Today I decided to try the food. I got the Reuben with fries and the rest of the table got salads. Service was fast and efficient as usual and both salads looks fresh and very well presented. The Reuben was solid, lots of meat, a little sauerkraut with a hint of Dijon mustard all on marble rye. The fries were thin and super crispy; just right for the sandwich. The place is basically a sports bar with lots of room to stand around and watch your favorite game if you're in the bar section. The windows are tinted to give you that dive bar feel. However everything is very clean, including the bathrooms. A pleasantly surprising lunch. read more

I love Sam's Place. For a sports bar. It's much better than any other one. The burgers are mediocre, so are the wings and pizza. But that's not what I go for. Their guacamole and chips are incredible. I have no idea how they make them so well. But I go for the salad and salmon. Absolutely incredible. The salad is fresh and with homemade dressing. The salmon? That's a treat. Once you take a bite, you can't put it down. That said, I'm not a big fan of sports bars, but this one is great. If you're looking for chips, salad, salmon, and good drinks, go to Sam's. read more

I have reviewed Sam's Place in the past and the food was better last go round. Maybe our selections were not the best choice. They are always attentive, quick to get you seated and have a full bar. The menu is very broad so there are plenty of items to order. Lots of televisions to keep you entertained as well. read more

Love coming here on a regular basis. I love the pizzas and the Salmon is off the charts good. Jewels is absolutely amazing !!!!

Ok - First off this is really a rarity. This place is our neighborhood Bar/Grill and we go there frequently enough. This was a bad situation from the start. We came in at 6.30pm on Christmas Eve. The place was hopping. We were seated promptly but no one came to check on us. We were in the middle of the room, lots of staff all around but no one looked at us. After 15 mins I got up to check with the hostess - she said someone would come soon. 10mins later someone did come and was astonished to hear we were ready to order. (Seems that the staff for this table had just been released for the day so no one was waiting that area) We ordered drinks/food at one go - 15mins later the drinks came. 30 mins later the food came - cold and somewhat incorrect. They had run out of stuff, they didn't know until the food came out, etc. I had the Tenders/Rib combo on a hill of fries. All tepid at best. A basket of fries came out cold as well. (It came with the roasted chicken that was supposed to come out with mashed potatoes) They brought a new fresh "basket" which is smaller than a McDs Large fry and we all shared that. The "hill" refresh was not offered. Husband got the salmon w/broc. The brocolli was cold but that is about par at this point. The ribs were dismal - my mistake. I'll stick with the personal pizzas in the future bc how can you go wrong with that. read more

The food is always delicious. I get the salad with chicken. The ranch dressing I understand is homemade. It's awesome. I dipped my crackers in it! The service was very fast. I asked for crackers with my salad, and they brought me some. read more

Being a fellow Sam, I absolutely had to try this place out! Not going to lie, expected a simple bar with simple food. I could not have been more wrong! First off, the place is more like a restaurant with a bar (I expected the opposite). Second, the happy hour is AMAZING. And that's coming from someone who was born and raised in vegas! Comparable happy hour prices! Then, the food was way better than I expected! Got the artichoke dip for an appetizer and then the fish tacos for an entree. Both were tasty. Will absolutely be coming back to try more food options (prob the pizza next) and take advantage of that happy hour! Sam's place for the win! read more

We moved here just before Christmas and got a recommendation from a local. It's a busy (good sign) noisy, sports-bar with better than sports-bar food. We started with much talked about chunky guacamole and chips (delish) while Hubby had Santa Fe chicken which was moist (I sampled) and very tasty. I had the Bourban Street Pasta with chicken and sausage mixed with penne pasta in a New Orleansy cream sauce. It was unexpectedly good. My hope is that they change up their menu or offer specials occasionally. I'm not a sports bar fan but this is so much more than a sports bar. Kid friendly and kids can bang their silverware without getting a second look from tables around. If you haven't been you are missing out on a great neighborhood spot. This is one place we'll be delighted going back to again and again. Hats off, margaritas up, Cin Cin! read more

This is the best food we've had since moving to Nashville!! I got the caesar salad with grilled chicken and it was absolutely delicious. My boyfriend got the traditional buffalo wings and he said they were some of the best wings he's had. There was an issue with their ticket printer, causing our order to take a little longer. We hadn't even noticed the delay since we were in conversation, but our server took it upon himself to correct the issue and get our food to us ASAP. Who I'm guessing was the manager gave us some gift cards to use which was very appreciated! Our server was very kind and personable! He was also very knowledgeable of the menu. We will definitely be back here!! read more

Great Folks work here! Wings, sandwiches are good. Fantastic happy hour. Clean. Great place to watch sports games

Friendly staff and patrons. Stopped here my first night in Nashville and will definitely be back. Food was great and they had the game on.

Wonderful service, management, and food! Best happy hour in town and the food NEVER disappoints! Highly recommend

I was just in there 4:50PM not so busy. We got seated immediately. Nobody came to take our order not even drinks were offered to us. We kept seeing people coming in but us we weren't even offered anything. I love the food here but after the service today i don't know if I can come back. You guys can check your cameras me and my wife walked in and weren't even looked at. I even tried calling for a waiter but was just ignore. read more

Food is good, atmosphere is good, and most of all their servers are great!!! Typical sports bar restaurant with bajillion TV's and just a nice vibe to chill. Drinks at bar are average. read more

Visited during the week and it was pretty crowded. It was average bar food and bar environment.

A sportbar at its finest. The food is neither exciting nor terrible, but it's not a destination food adventure. We had wings and nachos, which were fine. The wings were cooked well done (as requested) sauce on the side. The sweet heat sauce was oddly flavored, very Worcester heavy tasting. Finally we also shared the chicken tenders--the breading is light (battered, not breaded). The texture of the tenders became oddly soggy very fast, though the ones that remained crispy were good. We would come again for a beer and a football game, and would probably stick with a burger. read more

Sam's is a go to neighborhood sports bar and grill. The service is always excellent, and the food is exactly what the doctor ordered!

First time experience is everything. They must be short staffed. Lady at the front playing with her nails. It seems easier for them to seat the customers then to actually get their orders. I came with a friend and we been here already for 10 minutes and counting. Atleast bring a glass of water or start with our drinks. No one has came to attend us yet. My first time here as well. Will most definitely be my last time here. Wowwwwwww a server finally attended us, Atleast she was friendly. Meanwhile the party of 2 that' was sitting next to us definitely had less patience than us. We was about to walk about right behind them but the server showed up. Let's see how the food here taste Atleast. Why do they not have Hennessy? Well a shot of Jack it is. After waiting for our shots. There was a shift change with the waiters so we had a whole new waiter. Everything seemed so great after that change. Tho the employees that sat us down were still there and all the other employees that were there are still here so it looks like it's just the waiters that had a shift change. Almost made me want to change my mind about coming back. Well I ordered the chicken tacos with the pepper jack Mac n cheese. It wasn't bad at all. Now to my 3rd shot of jack Daniels. Ok 2nd waiter was definitely awesome!!!!!!!!!!! The 3 mafia greeters in the front are on some other issues. read more

Great food. Companion had 9" pizza, I had Buffalo wings. Both were delicious. Our server, Jamie, was so attentive and helpful. Definitely will be going back because there were too many good things on the menu to try. It was fun watching all the sports games as well. read more

Absolutely the best neighborhood restaurant. We all love Sam's. The Sunday Brunch is for the hungriest of crew and delicious like everything else. At busy times, it can be understaffed. Use the option to order take out. read more
