Sam Miller's

Went for dinner on a work trip, was specifically after some fresh oysters. Almost didn’t try this place - usually don’t venture below 4.5 stars in a new city.nnWalked in at 6pm on a Monday, was seated at a two top at the very back of the restaurant next to the kitchen/alley door at a wobbly table with a paper tablecloth that barely covered the table. The table next to me was being used as a temporary office space and had a laptop and various supplies set up on it. The front half of the restaurant has so much character...the back section I was seated in felt like what I imagine a bowling alley crossed with a Red Lobster would be: cheap carpet, cheap furniture, etc. The menus were cut by hand (poorly) and printed in some undignified font (not comic sans thank god) with clip art pictures. I ordered 1/2 dozen oysters and an old fashioned, and decided I would wait for them to come as a test run before ordering more.nnThe oysters were massive, that’s about the only good thing about them. In fact they were so massive I’m not totally certain they were local and not gulf oysters but i’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt on that one. They were not super fresh but not awful, but none of them had been released from the shell, and most of the liqueur had been spilled on the ice. Two or three had shell fragments.nnThe old fashioned was actually quite tasty (esp for $5), though served without a citrus garnish- unless you count the 4-5 things floating in it. I’m choosing to believe they were very dried out orange pulp for my sanity.nnI tabbed out after that and went elsewhere rather than risk a main course.

Ordered the cheeseburger sliders and fries during happy hour. Jackson was the only server present at the time but was attentive, pleasant, and contributed to the relaxing atmosphere of the place. Tasty, affordable food, and great service. Would definitely come back.

While stopping through for work, was looking for a bite close to the hotel. This was it!!!!! Food was delicious ud83dude0a. My coworkers tried various beers and loved it. Definitely will come back if I am in the area!!!

Would definitely recommend this restaurant; the food was very good and the staff was very friendly and not pushy. a very nice relaxing experience and good balance between quality and price

This place...ud83dudd25ud83dudd25ud83dudd25ud83dudd25 the oysters were absolutely amazing, the crab dip some of the best I've tasted. Calamari was great, but the rockfish... WOW! To top it off, the sirloin was cooked so close to perfection that it cut with a fork! We will definitely be back!!! The bartender Derek was actually our waiter as well and he was incredible! Thanks for the great service!
