Sam’s Place

I love the atmosphere. Always relaxed on week days. The bartenders are friendly. They have darts and pool. Great place to unwind on weekdays.

Such a great bar. Great bartenders. This place can get packed for a dive bar on off nights. Pool, darts, pay for choice of music, patio. The kid with the coconut hair cut always shuts the place down early like he has to get home even though it’s only 1 which gets frustrating.

I have been there a few times. Each time the service has been terrible and the wait staff inattentive and rude. There are much better places to go nearby, don’t waste your time on this place.

Best finger steaks in town — large strips with a peppery batter. I haven’t tried anything at Sams besides finger steaks and beer. If I’m in the mood for finger steaks it is definitely worth going out of my way for these ones.

After many years passing by this place as an underage boy wondering what it was like inside, I finally got my opportunity to check it out twice.
Went in during a Boise State football game and the place was packed. We were able to snag one of two remaining tables directly in front of the big screen TV. The food was decent for being a bar, yet the smoke made it difficult to breathe (though does not create a cloud like Los Angeles-​style smog). The service was prompt despite being packed.
The second time we checked it out on a Friday evening — walked in to be greeted by an older demographic, which is ok. We found a beloved shuffleboard table and proceeded to play, despite objections from a regular offended at my «stealing their spot». The server seemed to agree, and seemed to slow down her frequency towards us as a result.
My apologies.
