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.

Amy greeted us with a great smile and a friendly attitude. By the time we left 90-minutes later we acted like old friends. We started with the Scotch eggs (after some alcohol). Really tasty with a crunchy exterior and flavorful sausage inside. Then two of us got the Irish egg rolls, one got a burger and one got a Reuben. The egg rolls were just the right amount for a dinner. Crunchy crust that held together with a nice filling. We kept stealing fries from one friend because they were so good. Amy kept our drinks filled, kept us laughing with her comments and really made us feel welcome. Place has a friendly neighborhood vibe working. Felt great. Make this a regular stop if you are in the area, you won't be disappointed.

The staff, too, is quite friendly, and the service is always quick. But the star of the experience, of course, is the food. I ordered the Chicken Salad Croissant sandwich with a side of potato salad. The Croissant was lightly toasted, which I loved. The chicken salad was flavorful and savory and not overly loaded with mayonnaise. The potato salad was a nice mustard potato salad, and the serving size was quite big. My husband and son each ordered an elk burger, which was huge and juicy. Finally, my son's girlfriend ordered the Chicken Kabobs, which again was quite a generous serving, and she enjoyed every bite. We shared a delectable piece of chocolate cake for dessert, which was quite rich and oh so yummy. The next time you're in the neighborhood, I highly recommend you stop in for a bite. Your taste buds will thank you!

No wait on a Satueday night is a bonus! My friend had the special of the day - rissoto with sausage, peppers, onion, and marinara. She said it was delicious. I had the prosciutto balsamic chicken (just ok) with sides of mushroom rissoto (delicious) and their unique hash of Cauliflower, potato, and peas (creamy and delickous). The hands-dlwn WINNER was this peanut putter and jelly cheesecake. Holy shitake, this was top 5 deserts I've had in my life. Oreo crust, no-bake cheesecake, kn a bed of whipped peanut butter and tipped with a homemade jam. It was exquisite. Everything here is homemade, creative, and delicious. Check it out if in BG or go out of your way to visit BG if in the area.

A Beautifully Filthy Rock & Roll Dive…read more If you love a good, grungy, rock and roll dive bar, Howard's Club H is the place for you. It's got all the essentials: cold beer (only slightly overpriced), bartenders who are usually nice enough, and a smell that can only be described as shame with a hint of stale beer. The bathrooms? Perfectly disgusting, just as they should be in a place like this. The walls are covered in layers of graffiti and stickers, some of it actually pretty interesting if you take the time to look. Live bands crank out music that ranges from surprisingly solid to who let them on stage? But that's part of the charm. This is the kind of bar where you go to lose track of time, drink with strangers who might become friends, and soak in the glorious decay of a true dive. It's not for everyone, but if you appreciate a bar with character, history, and just the right amount of grime, Howard's Club H is a must.
