So pleasantly surprised!!! Our bartender and waitress Jennifer was lovely and fun. Best bar food I’ve ever had, better than many “nice restaurants.” Relaxed environment, not too loud. Can’t wait to come back!
October 2025
Sam's is one of the surprises of the often mediocre restaurant scene around Charleston. It's a dirty bar with simply outstanding food. A relatively complete menu accompanies a rotating list of specials that don't taste like they were just trying to clear out the freezer. The food is make fresh with care, and the service is quick. The wait staff sometimes wears their heart on their sleeve, for better or for worse, but I don't mind when they serve a meal close...

At first I wasn't sure if the bar was open, or if I had found the right door. I stepped inside and found a kind-of grungy dive bar with lots of character and a great vibe. Food prices were super reasonable, and I was served quickly despite the full house. My sandwich was very tasty. This place has soul.
