Sam's Tavern - Seattle

Sort of a sports bar as multiple tv's were showing football games, food is generous portions and very tasty, can be rather loud at times. Seems to cater to a lot of after work crowd. Wait staff was very informative and attentive.

This is for the one on 9th ave. Servers tell you to sit wherever and then ignore you for 15 min. Watched the bartenders fill the bottles with mixers all while I waited for a drink. All the servers busy playing chatty cat with each other. Food was ok, not great but not bad. I would go somewhere else. No management presence and no structure.

SLU/9th St. location: Horribly poured drinks; unless you like drinking a glass full of Sweet Sour. Worst Buffalo Shrimp we've ever had. Hooters is better; that's not good at all. Servers spend more time staring at their phones, gathered at a bar table and chattering than serving customers. We will never go back, and would never recommend this place to anyone. Places like this give good taverns a bad names; expect better especially in this prime location.

Staff are too busy looking pretty too serve adequately. The food sat for a while on the bar before being brought to us and my chilli burger was stone cold. Could not get anyone's attention to remedy. Drinks took forever too. Do not bother. We won't again.

I had been wanting to come here because o f the legendary **** Mary's, so one Saturday morning a friend and I did in fact go. I had the Eggs and Sausage (I believe it was called the Sam's breakfast? . The eggs were good...fresh...and yes, it is possible to mess up eggs...eggs don't taste the same at every restaurant. These were good. The sausage was decent, not memorable, but not mediocre. The **** Mary? Disappointing. I will need to try again, next time specifying that I like mine spicy. That said, the cheeseburger garnish on the **** Mary was REALLY GOOD. This place has quite the reputation for its burgers, and I am prepared to believe it. Repeat? Yes. Gonna go back to get a full size cheese burger, and give them another shot at the **** Mary, with more guidance on my preferences.
