Sam's Bar and Grill Review…read more Visiting family in the area, we stopped at Sam's Bar and Grill, and it was fantastic! The food and drinks were amazing. The chicken wings were a highlight--crispy, meaty, and perfectly juicy. The skirt steak was another standout, so tender you could cut it with a butter knife, and packed with flavor. The staff is super friendly and nice and they had live music on Friday. If you're in the area, this spot is definitely worth a visit. I'm already looking forward to coming back for those wings!

Even with the GPS, it's easy to miss this place. In the middle of a residential section of…read moreWanaque, Tree Tavern appears to be a restaurant masquerading as a house. There's a small bar on one side of the restaurant with some TVs for the local crowd. The place was busy on a Saturday night. We ordered takeout and I opted to go with the cavatelli with broccoli with shrimp. When we paid for the meal, the price we were charged didn't match that of the website. One of the managers showed us there were two menus on the website but was willing to honor the lower price. The meal was OK. There were a decent amount of shrimp and they were of good size. I didn't love the taste of the pasta. The bread that came with the meal was average at best. If I could give an honest review, this place would get 3.5 stars. I would try this place again but probably wouldn't go out of my way.

Calvin behind the bar was fantastic and made an incredible fresh-squeezed blood orange margarita. The food really stood out. The brie with blueberry sauce was a perfect sweet-savory combo, and the wings were packed with flavor. My burger (loaded with cheddar, egg, and bacon) was massive and cooked just right. Bun also made in house. The homemade pickles had a nice kick, and the haystack onion rings were super crispy. We ended with tiramisu and blueberry cheesecake--both delicious and made in house. Love that everything is farm-to-table. Definitely a spot worth coming back to.

Crazy part with all that food and drinks our bill for 4 was just under a hundred bucks. I'd like to keep this place hidden lol but it wouldn't be fair, for NFL and College football this will be the place to be! Enjoy.

Sangria's has been a go-to for us for years for good tapas and sangria, but we've now had issues on…read moreour last two visits, and this most recent one was especially frustrating. The food is still great. We had scallops, chorizo, brussels sprouts, and a flounder ceviche special. Everything was delicious. The ceviche in particular stood out -- fresh, well-portioned, and nicely "cooked" in lime juice. The sangria is still a highlight too. A big carafe, no ice watering it down, served with glasses full of fruit. The problem is the service. They had two servers and one bus person, and it showed. Everyone seemed to be scrambling, and it was hard to get a moment of attention to ask for anything or even be heard. Our food came out in pieces -- three items, then a long delay, then another. The last dish, calamari, never came. When I tried to tell the waiter we didn't want it anymore if it was forgotten, he didn't listen and insisted on bringing it anyway. We ended up waiting even longer, which just made the experience more frustrating. To top it off, they're now adding an operating/service fee (around 3-4%), which wasn't clearly communicated and just showed up on the bill. It's disappointing because the food is still very good, but the service issues -- and now the added fees -- are taking away from the experience. After this visit, we'll think twice before coming back.

Let me be honest -- the service here can be a bit hit or miss depending on the day. But the food?…read moreThat more than makes up for it. I genuinely cannot visit without ordering the buffalo garlic parm bone-in wings. It's a commitment at this point. The flavor combination sounds like it shouldn't work, but trust me -- it absolutely does. Crispy, saucy, and completely addictive. They're the reason I keep coming back. Beyond the wings, the specials are always worth checking out. They rotate regularly and never feel like an afterthought -- each one is something different and genuinely tasty, which keeps every visit feeling fresh. The outdoor seating area is a nice bonus too, with a decent amount of space to spread out and enjoy your meal al fresco. If you can catch them on a good service day, this place really hits. Either way, the food alone is worth the trip.

Parking is super easy as not only do you have their lot but you can also park within the shopping center at Boulder run. We arrived at the perfect time because there was a steady flow of people coming in through the rest of the afternoon and it got quite busy. Our waiter, whose name I did not catch, was very attentive and pleasant. He went over the menu and I appreciated that they had their regular menu items in addition to the brunch menu of selections. We all opted for brunch except for one in our party who had the burger, which was fantastic. I do wish the breakfast potatoes were cooked a little more crispy, but flavor was on point.
