Once a frontier town and home to Daniel Boone, today Charleston is the historic, sophisticated capital of West Virginia and home to a variety of exciting cultural and recreational attractions.

We waited well over 20 minutes for drink orders, then another 15 mins to get our drinks, then another hour to get food. The waitress was incredibly rude and our group did not complain. The restaurant ran out of glasses and silverware. We were also given the wrong food. What food we did eventually get tasted good but this was the worse service I've had in a long long time. I'll still visit but if it happens again, I'm contacting management. The place has great food with a good atmosphere. Poor service should not be tolerated.

Went for lunch with 5 others. Very quick service. I got a cheeseburger and onion rings and both were excellent. Others got wings (which appears to be their specialty) and wraps. Everyone was very satisfied with their food. All lunch meals included a drink and your choice of fries. chips or onion rings for $9. Lots of TV's. Would be great place to watch sports, eat and drink some beer. Will definitely go back!We're glad you had a good time with some good food! Come back and see us soon!

We went for appetizers one evening after a late lunch. Supposedly, their burgers are very good, but we had burgers for lunch that day, so we went with appetizers, which was the only thing else that they offer. Everything was greasy, fried, and pulled frozen, straight from a bag. Everything was so bad, we couldnât eat any of it. The waitress picked it all back up when she left the check and pretended not to notice that we hadnât eaten more than 20% of it. Maybe the burgers are better, but we wonât be back to find out.

I read reviews saying this place offers the best burgers in Charleston. My wife was in Charleston to attend a meeting, I tagged along. I was scouting places to eat while she was busy. I stopped by Sam's to check it out. It is such a dump I almost did not go in, but the reviews demanded it. Knowing I didn't have time to eat that day, I just wanted to check it out. It was almost as dumpy on the inside as the outside. The next day I went in to eat. Sat at the dumpy, well used bar. I ordered a beer and a cheese burger with lettuce, tomato and mayo. It came with chips. I ate it. Now I cannot add my vote as to it being the best burger in Charleston (inasmuch as this is the only burger I have had there), but it was very daggone good and I will go back for another someday. Sam's gets my vote as an excellent place for a solid lunch.

Don't go here. The service is horrible. Can you say "stiff the waitress?" Five of us arrived. We waited for a waitress to arrive. Waited and waited some more. She took our drink order and promptly brought water without drinks. The table next to us was in the same situation. She returned with their drinks. And still, we were without drinks or service. Heard enough. We gave up. There were plenty of empty tables to be seen. I complained to the manager on duty. He said, "We're busy." We were both looking at the same empty tables. Was our waitress dumb or incompetent? I daresay we were afraid to try the mettle of the kitchen if the front of the house was so terrible. I would not think to make a review of this place but it was so bad I feel compelled to write something. Eater beware!

Took forever to get someone to take our order but it appeared there was only one server. Once she got to our table, she was very responsive and good. The Lavender Martini was really good and creatively presented (see the attached picture). The Manhattan wasnât the best. First, they didnât add the staple maraschino cherry so I had to take it back to the bar for one so it was a true Manhattan. The food was good for most, I thought it was so-so. The atmosphere is really cool and if we were here at a different time of day, the atmosphere would have been so much better. And for the men, hopefully you donât need to âdrop a deuceâ because they only have urinals in the menâs room. Oh, and donât come between 2:30 and 3:00 because they switch menus from brunch to lunch and only serve appetizers.

The block has an excellent wine selection, and is in a great location. During the summer, the outside patio is very nice. However, the service was extremely slow, my appetizer arrived with the meal. And the food was mediocre, seemed like the raw ingredients came from Walmart.
