Famous Sam's is a pretty typical sports bar type place. I met up with a friend who was in from out of town and visiting his girlfriend. He suggested the place and I went for it. The food is ok. The drinks are ok. The atmosphere is ok. But it's all very tame and kind of bland. There are piles of Famous Sam's in the chain and going to one doesn't feel so much like an event. There is nothing inherently wrong with them. I'm sure the people who frequent them are decent. I myself have been known to be suckered by a good Reuben now and again. But if I were looking to get faced and make a fool of myself, this wouldn't be the place.
