This is a long overdue review. I have been coming to this bar for over a year since the…read morename/owner change. It is a nice bar with warm decor, comfy furniture, and a full kitchen. The drinks are poured well by friendly bartenders for the most part. The food is more then just deep fried, with daily specials. Now my favorite part. They host 2 Golden Tee Machines at a deduced price. 1 pin ball machine, and the standard lottery machines. The 5 stars are for what this bar is trying to be. A safe place to play some games, or talk with some friends, have a bite to eat, or have a stiff drink. If you're looking for clubbing this isn't the right spot, but stop in before or after you shouldn't be disappointed.

The lady who owns and operates the kitchen is a complete and angry lunatic. Somehow I annoyed her…read moreand she started to bark at me. She said something and "it's a black thing." She was African American. Who the hell knows? I certainly did not order chow. The bartender was apologetic and she provided fantastic service. She was very professional and aware of her bar. Serving everyone accordingly. Locals and newbies. The locals were not territorial, and they were really cool, as are most people in Salem. I love the town. However, my buddy was there the night before, and said the food was good. I hope to be back, but I worried that the kitchen lady, who may have been a member of a prison gang, might shiv me. Kidding. It is a nice dive bar tho. Friendly at the bar at least.

We went here just on a whim. I am glad we did. Not the best looking outside but amazing atmosphere…read moreinside. The have 2 outdoor seating areas, one that allows smoking and one that does not. We sat out in the non smoking. Our waitress was great at checking in and making light conversations. She was natural at it and it didn't feel like she was checking in to much. The beers are good pricing and they had some good choices, a variety and a little something for everyone. As for food, I got the black and blue bacon burger and it was amazing. Juicy and not skimpy on the toppings. The fries were crispy and delicious. My husband got the nachos and let me tell you, it's enough for 2-3 people!!! The toppings were mixed through out the nachos and the salsa was homemade and not too spicy. We will be definitely coming back.

Well, the service was excellent with a super attentive staff. The atmosphere was sports barish,…read moreclean and somewhat tidy. We orders the World Famous Cheese Burger (with the title I expected more) -1/2lb Angus beef, with mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, hamburger relish, lettuce, tomato & onion. $14.95. This burger was about as basic as it gets. It would be good for older or younger crowds that like bland food. The burger patty looked pretty but tasted uneventful. We didn't get hamburger relish but we did get a ton onions. This burger could have used a special sauce or something. The only sauce they provided was mayo and not much of it. We opted for a salad and not fries. The salad was fresh and plentiful.

Went to Sammie's South. Waited to see who was tending bar for a few minutes. Nikki was tending bar,…read morebefore she even said hello she informed us we couldn't sit at a spot at the bar because it for gamblers, which was strange but fine. She told us this three times as we just wanted to stand near to order drinks and food. We ordered wings and a beer. Nikki was very rude. Immediately got on the phone with her boyfriend (?) arguing and went in the back to argue on the phone. Yelled I am at work you idiot. Eventually 35 minutes later Nikki came back and delivered a single chicken strip cut into three pieces (wrong food). Still not a soul sitting at the bar where we were told repeatedly we couldn't sit. We were done. Awful vibe, rude woman. Usually like it there. Bummer.

I was at the Sammies location on Libert Rd. South Salem.

I'm only going there when Tommy is working there. He's cool and engages with the customers. If you don't engage with everyone that comes through the door, then you should find a different job. Obviously customer service is not your strong suit!!!

We have heard so many good things about half penny and finally decided to give it a try. We were…read morenot disappointed. We went on a Sunday off hours time so they were very slow. We were going to sit outside but due to it being their slow time they said they didn't have enough staff for that right now so we opted to sit at the bar. It was clean and not sticky. Through out our stay we were checked on multiple times which was nice. The food was really good. We didn't even finish the tots because the burgers filled us up. They have tons of live music through out the week. It's definitely a great place to relax and catch up with friends

We eat here at least twice each month. Tonight, I tried their fish and chips. The fish was perfect…read more- flaky but not dry, with a flavorful breading. The house-made tartar and fry sauces were very good. A full house kept the staff busy, but they were still attentive and friendly. A band was about four songs into their set when I left. The house sound system does a great job of making sure everyone can hear the band, but the overall noise level was such that folks had to shout to have a conversation. They do post an entertainment schedule, so if you go there to visit with friends, do it when there are no bands playing. From prior experience, I highly recommend the "Dave's Insane" sandwich.
