Sam B's holds a special place in my heart. As someone who grew up in Bowling Green, it feels like…read moreit's been around forever, and while I know the ownership has changed over the years, the spirit is alive and well. The food is surprisingly dialed in, with high-quality ingredients and deep know-how in the kitchen. Surprising only because the atmosphere and service are a little rough around the edges. Things like chipped plates take a lot away from the otherwise expertly prepared food, and the urgent nature of the service detracts from a proper date night. That said, BG is a college town, and Main Street is the epicenter of drunkenness, so I imagine it would be difficult not to have things set up the way they are -- a place built for the pace of a college town, focused on high-quality but quick meals. And maybe I just need to come back in the summer, when the college kids are gone and the townies take over. But seriously, Sam B's is almost perfect. And somehow that actually does make it perfect, for what it is.

Went here with our daughter for a BGSU Presidents' Day event. Street parking was easy. We did not…read morehave reservations, in the future I would make them for any event, it is small but cozy. Menu has a lot of options can and vegetarian included. Has seafood which I love. Drinks, we started with a Long Island Iced Tea, it was good. Hubby had something like an Elizabeth Taylor IPA? Not sure if he got the name right but the aroma was lovely and it tasted lovely as well. As far as apps daughter ordered the Brussel sprouts with bacon. She and hubby tore it up. It did come really late, it was served with the meal which I will explain later. But, big hit. We all shared my cup of French onion soup. We all had different takes on it. I would deduct one star but clearly everyone has different likes regarding French onion soup. Don't get me wrong the taste was there, but it was very thick like a stew. The croutons were actually store type croutons so that with the thickness, the croutons were hard. Daughter loved that, I did not. Sooo potato tomato (pronunciation). So if it sounds like thick French onion soup with crusty croutons are your thing, you will love it. Entrees, daughter had the goat cheese raspberry salad, she was very happy with it, looked ver fresh. I had the seafood risotto, I'm always hesitant because you can really mess that up in so many ways. I have had many that had a fishy taste, this certainly did not. The kitchen was out of scallops so it was served with extra shrimp. It was excellent. One does pause before ordering seafood when surrounded by farm fields smack dab in Ohio, but they handled it nicely. Hubby had the salmon pesto risotto, while I did not love it, he did. The Brussel sprouts as I mentioned came out with dinner. The service I will say was slow. Our waiter, Seth, apologized and explained that they were not expecting so many people on a Sun night.I would have deducted a Star for the slow service but I felt that he made it right by apologizing, explaining, and did offer a free dessert, which we did not take. We will return and make reservations next time.

I love going to a diverse establishment and enjoying good service so this is an excellent choice. It is so perfect for after work or a happy hour gathering with your friends! Nothing I have ordered has been less than wonderful. Oh yeah and their Sunday brunch is delicious. Make sure you are really hungry and will eat a good amount though! 10/10 would recommend.

Interesting place, hard to put my finger on it…read more Bathroom: *** (okay, bar bathroom) Quality: **** (had the tuna steak, needs to be grilled not flat iron) Quantity: **** Presentation: **** (good plating) Price: $$ (very affordable) Ambiance: Loud/Casual/Busy/crowded Attitude: * (service was very hard to get) Overall: I've tried this place twice. Once on st patty's (great buffet) and this time. The only thing I'll say is that, it's an interesting place, a lot going on, from live band, a lot of seating which makes it both accommodating but very tight to move around, service has been a hit at the busiest and a miss on an average day so, inconsistent. THIS IS A PLACE THAT WILL CHARGE A CC FEE AND NOT LIST OR ITEMIZE IT!!! I absolutely hate that. Quit trying to hide 3-4% just be upfront and clear about it if you're going to do it, especially for disabled, blind etc. this is absolutely something that I will not return for usually-- I got another try still so, we'll see.

Stopped in here on a wednesday with some friends that live in the area. We were seated right away…read moreand they had a decent crowd but not packed. They had a special for a smash burger and fries for $10 bucks that looked good but what caught my eye was the beef sandwiches. I ended up ordering the Blue Cheese Beef which consisted of shredded beef topped with melted blue cheese, bacon and tomatoes. One of my friends ordered the smash burger deal and my wife ordered the Cheesy Spinach flatbreads. We were also there early enough for the happy hour drink specials and ordered some draft beer. Our first drinks came pretty quickly and the food wasn't too far behind. My beef sandwich came with an au jus sauce and a side of tater tots. This sandwich was amazing and I will probably order it again the next time we are there. The beef was tender and flavorful and the blue cheese with bacon stepped up the flavors. My wife really enjoyed her flatbread as it had the perfect amount of cheese and crispy crust. My friend liked her smash burger as well which looked like a generous size for the special. The only thing that could have been improved is for our waitress to check on us more frequently. Our drinks had run dry and we were almost done eating before she came back. Besides that, the food was great and I recommend you to stop in here for one of their daily specials or get yourself a beef sandwich.

But that is to be expected in a bar. I had a Mango Cart beer which was available on draft. For my entree I had the BBQ chicken bacon wrap, it was delicious and the tortilla strips in the filling gave the sandwich a nice crunch. I had the homemade chips as a side, yum! My husband had the club which he said was excellent. He said was one of the best he had, his recommendation is to have the wrap grilled. Plus he said the slaw was non traditional made with kale and was very good. Would definitely return when I am in the area again.

We asked to talk to the manager he came out with an attitude mad as hell banned us from the property because we just simply wanted an explanation on why somebody on the phone told us 3 minutes earlier that they were open till 9:00 and they had a full restaurant full of people still eating.. this dude should not be in the food service or manager or any kind of industry... We drove from Stony Ridge Ohio to eat here to have us get turned back around within 3 minutes of getting to restaurant.. he caused a big old scene like he was Mr macho I bet he felt really good about himself...

Their menu has a variety of sandwiches, burgers, salads, hotdogs, and pizza. They have monthly beer specials so my friends ordered a Pacifico for $3.75 and Miller High Life for $1.75. I got a John Daly cocktail which was just under $5. Steal! For food, I got the Brent's Best Burger in the junior size. The regular fries were not my favorite but I loved the burger flavor. Our group also got the DeCarlo Sandwich and a Patty Melt. Both were thoroughly enjoyed! Our server, Danielle, was very kind and gave us some good suggestions on what to eat.

So this place is doing its best to be a restaurant with a bar. I came in at 750. Closes at 9. Already odd to me. There was maybe 3 tables and 3 folks at the bar. Nobody at the please wait to be seated sign so I took myself to the bar. Looks the same to me as when it was a bar but now have tables n got rid of the stage where bands play. Sat there for a few before the bar tender came over. No drink/food menu offered. What can I get you is all? Can I get a drink menu please? No drink prices which if u read my read my reviews I hate this. Just got a beer because who knows how much the cocktail costs. Have to ask for a food specials menu. Not offered. I was a bartender. Alot of solo folks eat at the bar. Always ask if they need food/drink menu So the service picked up for a minute. Then I get this $25 lamb shank. Saturated in gravy. I couldn't even tell the meat from the gravy. I like lamb but this dish tastes like beef. I don't lik beef. Maybe it was the gravy. Someone did come up behind me n ask how i was doing but I was trying to figure out what was I eating and was it edible. The mashed potatoes that were buried under all that gravy were good. Maybe the lamb had good favor? Couldn't taste it. Couldn't tell u. Got a side of veggies that were very tender but not much flavor. Took 5 bites to not appear rude but there is another restaurant in town that has the lamb shank special with a bbq glaze and Mac n cheese as a side. Totally different stratosphere on flavor n taste. Tasted like lamb. Took it home n the man said it was all bones with bites of meat and it thought maybe it was beef gravy. So on to the service. I wanted dessert but the bartender at 830 had her back to the bar counting her tip $ so I caught a server that went behind the bar to order it to go as obviously they wanted me out? Bread pudding was decent. I don't think I would be back between the weird hours and the service it made we wish I spent my $40 at Texas Roadhouse. This is my second Sabas restaurant try. Not impressed
