Sam Snead's Tavern

Slammin Sammy's bar experience was nice tonight. Especially due to the server. Marcos Alas was wonderful. Personable and attentive. Salmon was excellent. Rest was OK. But service made the evening more enjoyable. The plate that's empty in the photos was the salmon.

Fried chicken was a bit overpriced for three pieces of fried chicken for 42 dollars, but it was still decent. However, the wings at this restaurant were spectacular and came with a great deal. The burger's beef may have been a bit dry, but certainly made up for the dryness with toppings. I liked my meal here, if you go, I'd avoid the fried chicken, but definitely get the wings. Staff was polite and atmosphere gave the area a distinguished feel.

Overpriced and mediocre at best. The burgers are either pre-formed or previously frozen, so I'd advise against ordering anything less than medium. The center of mine was cold. The chips are bland and portions are small for the cost. Your money can be better spent elsewhere.

Spending life along the eastern seaboard, I know how scallops should taste, and this ain’t it. With scallops, it’s paramount that they not be over cooked. They should be tender and still a bit blubbery. Mine were firm and the dry texture of chicken. They’re the worst scallops I’ve ever had, and with a $55 price tag, that’s unacceptable. We did, however, have a kind and attentive server, and we enjoyed the pork cheek appetizer, so I’m bumping my 1 star to 2.

We always enjoy Slammin Sammy’s for lunch when staying at The Greenbrier. Food and service are always good. Beautiful views of the golf course. Can be busy on a beautiful golf day.
