If you have ever eaten at the national chain restaurant Red Robin, you can thank the owners of Sam's Tavern. Although this location on the border of the Pike/Pine and Capitol Hill neighborhoods is not the original Sam's, it still remains true to its roots by serving gourmet burgers, crispy fries and tasty beers just as it did when it opened in the 1940s. Since the place considers itself a tavern, visitors will find a nice cocktail menu as well and on Tuesdays, it is a great place for trivia night.

Reviews
tripadvisorWe stopped in for a quick bite and ordered two classic burgers. They were outstanding as were the fries. Service was friendly and quick. No pretense, no frills. Have paid much more for a burger in trendy spots that just couldn't compare. Nothing fancy but we enjoyed our meal very much.
MoreI visited the South Lake Union location. I have been here several times. During happy hour, I have found the service poor. I ordered a milk shake drink. After one hour, my food arrived but the drink didn't. I cancelled my drink order. I came on another evening at 7:30 with a friend who brought her dog. We sat on the patio. The staff was attentive to the people and the dog. She brought the dog a bowl of water. I ordered the hazelnut veggie burger which came with fries. The food was good. I will return because of the dog friendly patio and only in the evenings. I avoid this place during happy hour due to the poor service I received on a previous visit.
MoreSimple bar food, clean unisex restrooms. Lots of burgers to choose from. Heavy on the whiskey and great service. I had the bacon wrapped dog with steak fries and Sam's Fry sauce....delicious!
