Sam's Tavern - Bellevue

Sam's has always had a great atmosphere, the food is always good pub fare. With reduced staffing due to Covid they were still able to get food and drinks out quickly, and the quality didn't suffer. Before the pandemic I would go to this location 1-2 times a week, this was my first time back and my experience was just like before the pandemic.

Disclaimer, I ordered delivery from a 3rd party, so I was not inside. This was almost 5 stars I tell you waht. So close.. -I ate the wings before taking pictures, DELCIOUS, that tangy hot sauce was all at the bottom so I could roll the wings in it combined with the chopped green onions and what I assume was blue cheese. AMAZING Combination -The fries, Pretty Great ngl. The fries were soggy but I wasn 't about to Doc your grade because of that, they could have gotten soggy from the HUMID delivery container, either way soggy fries aint bad. Whatever herb seasoning you use was great and the ranch dressing you provide is a great compliment, so if that 's housemade, excellent work. -The All American Burger.. What is this yo? a Gourmet Burger Restaurant? This burger looks more like your chef stopped at a McD 's dollar menu, scraped off those chopped onions they use and slapped on their own toppings. I get that this was the cheap option on your menu for $8 but for real? The meat was grilled okay, the cheese was melted pretty nice, I guess the pickles you use are full quarter spears that you just chop and throw on, and I requested grilled Onions. Did yall even put the onions in the skillet? They crunched like I just ripped it out of a garden.

This is our work departments? go-to for happy hour. They?re usually able to host our large group of 15-20 on both of the long tables. It?s a cool vibe slightly off the main path from all the other downtown bars and restaurants, but still close enough to everything.

Nice usually quiet bar. A good place for a 1 on 1 conversation and hang out. I?ve only tried the nachos food wise but it was quite good. The drinks were nice and strong too.

I stayed at the hotel right next door, and this is a perfect place that I wouldn't even say is a walk away. Great food and atmosphere. The staff is always super nice and the service is very speedy. Sam's Tavern is a must visit for me whenever I am in the area.
