What User likes about Sam's Sports Grill:
We were recently in the area and decided to stop for a bite to eat. This was our first visit. We ordered a patty melt and a grilled chicken salad. Both were excellent. The beef in the patty melt was very tasty and cooked to perfection. The grilled chicken was juicy and not dried out like it is at other restaurants. Our waitress was pleasant and efficient without hovering. We will definitely stop by the next time we'r... View all feedback.

What User doesn't like about Sam's Sports Grill:
supposedly to go Italian sausage sandwich and pommes, and a huh parmigiano sandwich and pommes, that huh after my wife was good, oh and the fried mushrooms were also good she says, but the sausage sandwich was under boiled and cold on places. really disappointed. Maybe just one night, it'll try again. and the waiters are going by me like I'm not here, I'm probably not a father. View all feedback.

Great people, very hometown bar feel to it. Drinks come fast and the food is good. They have multiple events through the week and usually do big holiday things.

"The Coup de gras after I ran the Des Moines Marathon: I went down to see Dirt Burger in downtown Des Moines. What I got was the best veggie burger no, the best BURGER I ever had. Why? It was muddy and savory, saucy and full of different textures. It was a perfect mouth. Like a big Mac, only without the disappointing patty and bread in the middle. I know you'll say I forgot and taste like meat. No. I know for some people the ideal burger is a meat patty with fat that runs down your arm. I understand. I have preferred a veggie burger, and I think that is more interesting with many impractical tastes, and it's health food except that with so many whole food ingredients it is somehow. But it felt really exhausting for me, especially when I recommended it with their real potato frits and the tiger sauce the staff. And she was right. As they once said on my beloved show boss! with Lenny Henry, I never had a liquid as good as in my life. They had vegan shakes that looked absolutely amazing, but I had no one to share, and I knew that I would be in pain after I had everything in... I'm funny too, but I had a granola in the hotel room I was pretty excited about. Anyway, all this and gluten-free as I ordered it on the GF reel. The staff was also incredibly friendly. I'm seriously jealous that Iowa has this joint, but it's all for the best as I would win 5 lb a week if this place was on the street."

"We were excited to try. We sat at the bar with Bailey as a bartender. A veteran on the whole way sat with him and mentioned that it was his birthday, so I paid his bill without knowing him. I heard he said Bailey, he paid the tip in cash, so when I signed my cc reception (because she asked me to do it right away), I confirmed that he already typed it. She told me he had it. Red flag #1. We ordered a bottle of wine and our dinner. Our salads came out quickly. Then... nothing. We wanted a bread basket. We ate all the bread. Then... nothing. People came, ate, drank, got their bills and left. Bailey wouldn't look at us. We made several bets. When our bottle of wine was gone, we asked Bailey about our food. She said she'd check it out. Something happened. 20 minutes left until she finally got up, she doesn't have to have the order. We're at this place for two hours. She brought us a check. I didn't pay for it. She has a manager who was less than apologetic. It sounded like it was OUR fault that the order was never filed. They composed the 2 salads and wine. And as if we were grateful. Probably will decide for a hot dog and a popcorn at the concession next time."
