Sammy's Tap & Grill

my bf and and i go a couple nights out the week cuz its close to home and work. the food and drinks are great. but when we go and sit down it takes the staff at least 15mins to notice that were there. the bartenders walk like zombies (so slow)...love the place but the waitress's need to wake up and stop actin like ding-dongs and pay attention.

Went there the other day to watch football on the first day of the NFL. Great specials. Good service. LOADS of TV's. Had a lot of fun with my buddies & meet a good looking girl. Wings are best I've had since I left NY.

I discovered Sammy's when I moved to Avent Ferry Road to be close to my job. It is awesome. The food is much better than you're average bar food. The wings are great & the quesadillas are one of my favorites. I had an excellent server who was knowledgable and fast with my drink order & food. I play trivia there on Tuesday nights with a group of friends & we have a blast. The bartenders are very polite and seem to work together to get the drinks out quickly. I also ordered from Raleigh Take-out and the order was hot & the exact thing I ordered so I'm not sure what the other reviewer was talking about. I believe this place has been around for more than five years and that says a lot for a restaurant these days. I look forward to hanging out at Sammy's for years to come. The deck is an awesome place to go to if you're with a large group or small. Go State!

This place is awesome. I read some of the reviews here and they don't do this place justice, most of them are several years old. I have been going to Sammy's for quite a while and the service has always been great, and the bartenders are some of the best in Raleigh. I'm not sure what some of these people (or maybe its all the same person) did to the bartenders to have them yell at them but that has never been my experience. If you are trying to watch a game or many games, there really is no other place to be. They have close to 50 TV's now, of which they seem to routinely change out (they just installed all flat panels behind the bar and on some walls I think). You can watch more than one game, listen to all of them via these little speaker boxes they have (which NO OTHER PLACE HAS), and even do this on the deck, which they just expanded. Like I said, if you are going to watch more than one game (read college/nfl football), then you want to give Sammy's a try. The food there is great too, its bar food, wings and pizza and such, nothing gormet, but its a sports bar I'm not really sure what you are supposed to expect. As far as the wings go they are close to the best I have ever had, but honestly on game day the most important thing is the beer, which seems to flow nice and cheaply. I've been there a few times at night as well, and I was suprised that there is quite a nice night scene there as well. Overall this is definitely a place worth going to.

I have been going to Sammy's for four years now. My friends & I love hanging out there. The food is great & every bartender I've dealt with has been polite. The servers do a good job - just nice girls. Plus the management seems to update things regularly. The last time I went in I noticed 6 new tv's at the bar. John Dupree is great on Friday nights. Plus, every day there's a good drink special. If you want to go somewhere with friends to hang out & don't want the trendy glenwood scene - Sammys is your place.
