The Samler On 8th

Just for a minute, I’d like to delve into the world of fried pickles. These guys right here, gosh darn. Now I’ve been to the south, I’ve had fried pickles in South Dakota, these beat them ten fold. It’s like tasting a rainbow. I think it’s what ambrosia is like. Git outta yer crawl space and git into the Sammy!

Great food, awesome beer selection & great service. I’ll be honest it definitely isn’t my taste as far as a place to go on a friday or saturday night, the crowd isn’t typically what I enjoy and neither is the music. But this is definitely an excellent place to stop in for lunch or an early dinner!

nice bar, good food, has an old time feel… would recommend

We visited the area last weekend for a wedding in the area. We wanted to watch part of the 1pm NFL games before the 3pm wedding started. We headed out to downtown Lebanon in hopes of finding a place with some food and some beer. We found just that!
Samler was having a Sunday special: $ 3 Sam Adams drafts and $ 0.49 wings! Just what we wanted! We all got wings and we also ordered the Crab topped Fries. Wow. Wow. Wow. It was all VERY good! No complaints at all. They have MANY wing flavors to choose, and you can get them in varieties of 6. We tried the teriyaki, mild and hot bleu cheese and a few others. They were all VERY good, large wings and as fresh as they could be. The Crab topped fries were also out of this world! HIGHLY recommend. Service was fine, no issues there, our waitress was very friendly and accommodating. Where else could you get GOOD wings, 48 wings for $ 23.52? Try it out sometime!

The past few times we’ve been here, the service was less than stellar. The friendly servers were gone and the server we’ve had the past two times was a bit rude and distracted.
The food is still great, but since there are several other offerings in the area, I’m not sure that we’ll be coming back any time soon.

Be careful: if you order quesadillas or tacos, or I assume ny other dishes, salsa/​sour cream is .75 a pop and it doesn’t say so on the menu & the servers don’t disclose. Hidden charges like this are infinitely annoying: why wouldn’t a quesadilla come with salsa & sour cream? And the excuse «so & so» does it that way is no explanation.
