For a sports bar we give it a 5 stars. Great beer selection. And the pescatarian had the barramundi fish sandwich which was very very good and impressive for a sports bar it was grilled not fried. The carnivore had ribs with coleslaw and said they were fantastic that is why I would give it a five stars the service was very good as well. Displaced Michiganders tend to hang out here to watch the Lions game on a Sunday. read more

We like this place and never get there often enough. Recently, we headed out to see a local boy pitch for the NY Yankees. We had a good time. Beverages were great. We ate Tapas style, ordering only appetizers and sharing them among the three of us. Most important was the server's attentiveness to our viewing request. He made sure the game we wanted was in our viewing scene. My wife is not a baseball fan, but found bicycle racing on another screen. First up was the chips and queso. Nice dip. The chips were hot and fresh fried. We ran out of chips and they brought a whole nother order, free. My son chose a small pizza. The crust was nice and the ingredients balanced. I was the devil next, ordering their chicken fingers. For those I was with, I got a BBQ sauce, but ordered a side of Scorpion Sauce. Scorpion Sauce is awesome. Endorphin Rush, big time. I've had wings in this sauce and enjoyed a half hour of rolling Endorphin Rushes. Complaining that we did not have any vegetables, my wife ordered the spinach artichoke dip. It was just a bit above average. Great service. Nice sports grill atmosphere, very good food. read more

I've eaten here a few times and I'd have to say, I would rather eat elsewhere. The food hasn't been great during any of the times I have gone. The Pasta dish I had was not properly seasoned. I ordered hot sauce which took about 10 minutes to be brought out. You had bartenders always questioning where their coworkers were. It seemed as if the staff was more focused on cleaning than serving the very few quests that were in there. The staff never came in and checked on me after I received the food. It was only when I spoke to who i believed was the manager when I got some sort of service. I work in a restaurant and to see the slow service was disappointing. I wont be eating here again and neither should you. read more

We sat at the bar! JR took great care of us. Very attentive and prompt. Lots of TVs and a great sports bar! Will for sure come again! read more

Sam's Place - Spinach Artichoke Dip was good! Chicken Caesar wrap was fresh! Chicken tender salad looked awesome but the tenders were a bit soggy. - American Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

Love their late night happy hour here! 2.00/3.00 drafts and 3.99 munchies menu....yes please!! Try the 3.99 mini BBQ nachos and 3.99 pizza! Delicious. Goes great with your draft beers. They have a pretty long list of draft beers too! Great time to try that beer you've been wanting to try. Late night happy hour starts at 10pm to 1am. No kids allowed after 10pm! read more

I have been coming to Sam's for a couple years on lunch while working in Murfreesboro. Sometimes the food is hit or miss but normally you get OK service. Well today I had a horrible experience. I walked in and it was just me by myself told the hostess and they said they were checking tables. Then they proceeded to seat two people ahead of me. When I asked to speak to the manager he came over and I told him the situation but he was clearly not bothered. The hostess and the manager had a horrible attitude. The managers name was Devin. I will never eat at this establishment again and they really need to work on training the staff on customer service. read more

Sunday come out for the NFL slate of games, Titans,Steelers,Chiefs,Brown's, Dolphins are all represented. Brooklyn took great care of us throughout the day. Chicken nachos were ok, chicken was dry, no flavor. Chroizo dip was great as always, pizza was very good also. John changed the 3pm game for us. read more

Always loved to go to Sam's and watch games and have great food. Their chicken tenders are the best in town and the beer selection is amazing, but the last time we went there, the hostess didn't want to sit us close to the bar, so we picked a table close to the entrance and sat there for about 15 minutes...every employee passed by but didn't say a word to us. Next to us was a girl that looked like a supervisor and looked at us but said nothing, after the 15 minutes we walked away and said to her: looks like your business don't need our money, this is ridiculous. Since then we never went back. So sad because their food is good but service is one of the worse in town. They need to manage their employees better to not close the doors as soon the ale house opens next door. read more

Food was great, beer was great, and the service was excellent! I got the Sam's pizza and fried pickles, and both were delicious. The turn around time was also quick and the price was reasonable. I'll be back! read more

What is wrong with you people?! Reading some of these reviews almost steered me in the wrong direction. Am I eating at the same place as you guys? We almost picked something else because I usually try to stick with 4+ star joints when I'm on vacation. You only get so many meals a day and I want to eat good. Sam's was awesome! Huge space, tons of TV's, large craft beer menu, perfect service, and the food was on point. This was certainly some of the highest quality bar food I've had in awhile. My partner had the fish tacos which were excellent. My friend had the fish sandwich. The barramundi was perfectly grilled. As a side he had pepper jack mac and cheese---oh. My. God!!!! This stuff was AMAZING! Big fat noodles smothered in cheese sauce with a really deep, developed flavor. I was shocked at how great this macaroni was, particularly because the macaroni on the kid's menu was Kraft. If your kitchen can make mac like this, throw that Kraft away! I had a buffalo chicken wrap which was delicious. I appreciate that the chicken was in large tender size pieces, and not chopped. The fries were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and perfectly seasoned. John, our server, was great. He was friendly and accommodating, efficient and nice. Great personality, very warm. My one beef is that two different beers that I ordered were out. I heart craft beer and I was very excited about a couple of those listed, only to be told that they were out. That made me sad. However, I did end up with Ace Pineapple Cider which tasted like the white gummy bears. Soooo good. Give this place a chance. I was blown away. read more

We are regulars . We have been coming here for at least 7 years . The food is fantastic . The service is fantastic. The reason for the poor review ? They recently changed the music playlist to 90's alt. Seriously ??? I asked a manager why the change, and his reply was ""it fits the average demographic that comes in here , 30-50 yr olds" HAVE YOU LOOKED AROUND ?? I'm 50... I've never heard 99% of the Alt music that is playing ... At least play the GOOD (what there was of it ) 90's music ... Seems silly, I know ... But it's terrible Please play music that your "demographic" at least recognizes .. read more

Typical noisy environmental a large sports bar. Plenty of Tv's for viewing. Good food and a good beer selection. I have been here for lunch. This is my 1st dinner trio and well worth my time. read more

Sam's has a great atmosphere. It's like a nicer, less expensive, better tasting version of Buffalo Wild Wings. I can honestly say that I have had the best chicken fingers OF MY LIFE at this restaurant. They're freaking INCREDIBLE. That being said, this place reallllly is lacking quality service. Almost every time I go, the server will forget to bring something out that we ordered. In the middle of eating our appetizer, the server will bring out our entrees which always ticks me off. The only thing stopping Sam's from becoming Murfreesboro's best sports bar is the service. read more

I came here to watch the Memphis Tigers game after an appointment in Murfreesboro. The food was excellent! There were plenty of tv's, as the LSU Tigers were playing as well. Being from Memphis, I was concerned we would not be able to see the game but the manger was happy to oblige. Our server went out of her way to see that we were taken care of and was very responsive and polite! read more

It can be loud and crowded, but it's a sports bar! The food is exceptional, half price pizzas on Mondays and reasonably priced beers are all a plus. The service is above par and it's generally kid friendly. Give it a shot. read more

I just tried this place for try first time a few weeks ago and have been back twice since then. Food is always fantastic and so is the service! Way better than similar chains close by. I highly recommend you give it a try! The fried pickles are the best anywhere in town!! Don't think twice, just give it a try! Lunches are super reasonable and the kids menus includes a drink! So good!!! read more

0/5 would not recommend this restaurant. There are other many great places in murfreesboro you can go to.

So I found this joint using my trusted Yelp app and the 4* rating did not disappoint. I had the fried pickles. I don't eat a lot of fried food but these little crunchy chips were light, not greasy and a perfect "crunch." I had the Mahi Mahi sandwich which was seasoned perfectly and cooked with a watchful eye. Excellent sandwich. As far as the sports portion this joint rocks tons of large HD TVs and they are appropriately placed such that you can watch multiple games without cramping your neck! Combine all the above with outstanding service from the bar staff and I know I'll be back. read more

Have lived in this part of Tennessee for over 10 years. Current live in another state but usually always dine at Sam's when in the area. Like pub food and the sports vibe. On our latest visit, Thursday 10/14/2021, I have NEVER been more disappointed. I spent over $100 and the service and lack of customer attention was horrible. First ordered drinks, did not know what all was available and had to go back twice. Food ordered, order was wrong for one of the four attendees and have to redo.... Did not see waiter again until ALL were finish eating.... Then said the one order was on its way (I guess they didn't realize that everyone likes to eat together) they then offer to give it to me "free" of charge to take home..... did you ever eat a soggy bun with you burger..... then gave bill which they had charged for the burger I did NOT get..... then offered discount of bill.... Not accepted.... Just wanted my correct bill ..... and eat with my friends... after 10-15 minutes finally got a correct bill..... oh, YES..... our second round of drinks just came..... guess they hope that we would get plastered and forget about the terrible service.... On, yes... they got the drink order wrong...... What EVER happen to this place..... very poorly managed...... get your act together..... this is one of the most poorly managed and customer service pubs I EVER was at..... I guess the only reason it has customer is because there just isn't enough pubs in the area...... I'm sure it will survive..... but not with my business...... My take...... find a pub that really cares for its customers and wants their business..... I bet you would find this testimonial on their website...... read more

My first and probably last visit to Sam's was on 02/08/2020. Wait time was insane even though we had called ahead (waited over an hour once we got there). One waitress for 13 people in our group plus she had other tables as well. She did what she could, but should have had help. Food was mediocre at best. Have had better chicken tenders at the bowling alley. The women had to ask for drink refills; men got them without asking. Guess she thought they were paying the checks? So noisy that you could not carry on a conversation with the person next to you. I realize this is a sports bar, but was very disappointed in my experience. read more

Gotta get them wings up in this mug do real B! Get em hot tho none of dat sweet mild fufu lame shit fo real. You already know it's blue cheese with wings or go fuck yo motha! Real talk dat bar shorty won't let me holla she stingy B! read more

We're regulars for Wednesday night trivia, and have had a variety of experiences. Some great, some horrible, averaging out to meh. The food is so-so. The chicken fingers are great and the pizza is good, but a lot of the other items I've had have been dry or bland or just not good in general. The service is also hit or miss. We typically know which servers to avoid, but that only works so well. Tonight's experience was not acceptable. Our server took about 15 minutes to get us our check, which might have been alright had they been slammed, but they weren't. She was just sitting at a table chatting with a friend. Then on the way out my wife slipped and fell on the floor. I went to get the manager, and he stops halfway around to chat with some of the servers at the end of the bar. I walked over to try to get him to come along and he said that he would be along shortly. My wife didn't appear to be injured, so we said the hell with waiting on him and just left. If this review were just based on tonight's experience, they would get 1 star, but we've had the occasional good experience in the past, so I went with two. read more

One of our favorite places to watch sports, drink and eat wings! I can't get enough of the Cajun rub wings and Bold Rock cider! They may start charging me rent for the amount of time I spend there! Seriously though, great food, great atmosphere, great beer and cider selection, and great service. Ask for Ester, she's so fun and goes above and beyond for everyone. read more

Management is very disrespectful and un-professional. We spoke to two different managers and nothing was resolved. They were very contradicting and unknowledgeable. When they walked away they were laughing and mocking myself and my coworker. I will be taking my money elsewhere. PS. Great service but management is terrible. I would never treat anyone the way I was treated. read more

Love the atmosphere here. I've been here several times and the food is always good. Portion and price are very reasonable. Love the daily specials on trips as well. The service is attentive which is nice. There are a ton of TVs to watch your favorite sporting event and several TVs have the same game on throughout the restaurant. read more

On mamas! This place got chicken tenders that are better than dyno bites! They whiskey sour pretty weakkkkk, but the server was a cutie from down the way! I'm defoooo gonnna come back if i ever get the chance!!! The vibe chiller than a cold beer on Saturday, and the restrooms got TVs above the urinals, soooo get ready to experience some dope nba while rocking one! Hope this helps my fellow yelp folllllllowers. read more

Probably the worst service I've had since moving here to Murfreesboro. Our server disappeared and we couldn't even pay because nobody was around or knew what was going on. Also, The frose was a $6 snowcone! We won't be back. read more

This was my first time back after COVID and everything was awesome! We came in last night about 8pm and our server was amazing. She was FAST, our food was fast, our bar drinks were fast. We never had to ask for a refill. Y'all are doing amazing! read more

Great place! Awesome beer list & incredible service!! I recommend the fish tacos with black beans & rice. A fun place to watch sports or just hang out. read more

Sam's is a great place to get a beer. They sometimes take a little while to get a refill. It is typically busy when we go though. The food is pretty good for Bar food. Eerything is a little spicy for my taste so I usually stick with the white pizza. Their fruity drink selections are a little weak but if you like beer, they have plenty on tap. There are TVs in every viewing direction so it doesn't matter where you sit on a big game night. They do have outside sitting with TVs as well. I will be back read more

I hate that this review is so bad. But seriously. My husband and I are always looking for great date night places. This was such a let down. We had 4 different servers at our table within the first 15 minutes. Let me say, we arrived around 9 pm. They were not packed or super busy even though it was a Saturday night. The food is just ok. Nothing super impressive. But we had to repeatedly chase down a server after the initial orders! I was drinking wine, which they got wrong first 2 tries and then had to beg for a refill. Was never offered ice water. Just won't be back. There are other great places in Murfreesboro that we would rather go back to. Just note to establishment.....if your food is just average, make up with great service. Y'all fell short. read more

We had lunch here today. The baby back ribs are so awesome! Meat falls off the bone! Great sauce! Going back soon. read more

After I Yelped, I was contacted by the Director. She made the situation right...in many ways. I am happy to find that with persistence, the customer's voice is finally heard. Sam's is a asset to the community and I hope the experience has helped them be more respectful and responsive to its customers. Without us there is no Sam's. Thank you Chesney. read more

This is considered my old faithful., Granted... if you don't sit at the bar you take the chance of getting horrible service. Had several times where they had plenty of servers but when it came to attending, well... not so much. The Reuben was one of my favorite menu items, even though they took it off the menu, they do from time to time will make it., decent beer selection, average sports bar feel. Crazy busy during sports seasons but it's a sports bar so it's understood. read more

No issues with the barmaids or the food. It gets 1 star for the day manager and his crap attitude. I have had excellent times, service and food watching football in this location. I have the same in the Nashville location. Where they actually allow you to watch soccer on a weekday afternoon when there is absolutely nothing else on TV in terms of live sports. For the 3 rd time I have come to the boro location to watch a game request for one (of the 30) tvs to be tuned to the most popular sport in the world. Provide them with the channel name and it's corresponding DirecTV channel number And proceed to deal with sarcastic comments and condescending looks as the manager goes about his business for an additional 20 minutes without changing a monitor. There were 4 people at the bar. Not busy. And even if you are how long does it take you to turn to channel 620. Last trip to Sams the station was eventually changed 18 min after the game started. Today I waited 20. Paid for my full beer , tipped 35% and went across the street to Old Chicago where it took 30 seconds to put the game on. I really don't understand what his issue is. If he thinks soccer is a p#%%y sport I invite him to discuss it with me. Hopefully the conversation will escalate I grew up playing both kinds of "football" i watch , enjoy and respect both. After the 3 rd time in as many trips to watch soccer I have decided to refuse to go back to that location again. read more
