Editorial Review for Sammy's Tap & Grill – by Brad Hunter

In Short
The game, your friends, draft beer and deliciously unhealthy food are the essential components of the experience here. A sports bar that caters to N.C. State students and anybody who enjoys the aforementioned virtues, Sammy's is something of a Mission Valley institution--even if the name sometimes changes. Outdoor seating, plus occasional live music and trivia, augment the televied happenings. Sammy's has four satellites and over 25 televisions, so if you're looking for somewhere to watch the game, look no further.

On The Menu

The menu is full of tasty bar food that goes well with the Budweiser that patrons consume by the pitcher, and there are nightly food and drink specials. The kitchen is open all day--although it may not be the best place for a quick lunch.

So that everyone knows, this is one of the best places to get a drink or have some food around NC State. It is always busy and you can see why! There are TV's all over the place, the music is loud enough to hear over the loud drinkers next to you, and students can still come in with their families. The food is really great! The wings take about 15 minutes too cook, but that is because they make them to order. The prices are the lowest you are going to find in a 50 mile radius and you still get enough to fill you up no matter what you order. The drinks are some of the best priced in the area. The bartenders are fast even when the bar is wrapped and people are standing everywhere. In regards to the service, it is as good as can be expected when you work in a place as busy as Sammy's is. They run all over getting everyone what they need and they are always fun and in a good mood. Sometimes they don't come over to the table right away, but that has only ever happened to me when they have been super busy and it seems like everyone came in and sat down all at once. In regards to the person who complained about Sammy being there to drink on his birthday, grow up and stop hating. Doesn't that say a lot about a place when the owner of a bar chooses to come to his own bar and hang out there instead of going someplace else? It thought it was great, and since you have such an issue with him being drunk on his birthday, lets see you not drink on yours. Prude! Anyway, Sammy's is the best place around NC State, for students, athletes, coaches, staff, parents, and anyone else who wants to go to a great bar with awsome food, cool waitresses, attentive bartenders, cold drinks and doesn't want to go broke doing it!

Pros: BEST IN THE AREA - HANDS DOWN!

Cons: Parking can be tough sometimes

I went with a couple of my friend to Sammy's that place sucked you would think that the way the view looked from Avent Ferry Rd that it would be a good atmosphere but, i think not how do you have music on with live music , an sports volume up loud it's too much going on an the servers are so worried about how they look more than how the customer is. Then Sammy kept walking right past us drunk, i think we sat down an no one came to ask us about our order for 20-30 minutes bad customer service. When we finally ordered, we got wings that had a glaze of sauce on them. It's like they took a brush or spray bottle an squirted once. I wasn't even hungry anymore then the server tried to tell me i had to pay for some non sauced cold wings. I told her you better add it to your boss TAB. She left an then didn't return for another 15 minutes on top of that no refills, no silverware, yeah NO TIP. When she finally stop flirting with some other table i got my check an left. I will never ever go back to Sammy Tap & Grill

Pros: TV, College Bar

Cons: Service, Customer Service, Food , an Atmosphere
