Great restaurant with very friendly staff. Huge menu, and no one was disappointed. Very large portions. One block from the theater district. It's also reasonably priced.

This place is packed with history, character, and awesome food. I went here for an early lunch after my flight arrived in Denver. My meal was homemade (or at least it tasted homemade). I will come back.

The food is amazing here! Huge portions and unique options are on the menu. I like that they serve alcohol and breakfast! Very interesting place. Our server was very friendly and helpful, she helped us choose our food as this was our first time here. I highly recommend the pork green chili!

Went to Sam's 3 on Denver Broncos game day. It was as slammed as it gets. I still only waited around 10 minutes since the open seating turned over fast. The regular seating waits over 2 hours. The Cheese Enchiladas and pint of Red Chili was excellent and still had Chili left over to eat at my hotel room. It was an amazing experience given the crowded conditions, which is because it is an amazing restaurant everyone wants to go to when downtown. It is very popular for good reason. It has amazing food for reasonable prices. Waitress for my section has worked here forever and was fast and efficient, making everyone's experience here wonderful.

recently visited Sam's No. 3, renowned for its extensive menu that highlights the best of American diner fare with a delightful twist. Among their offerings, the "Spero's Burrito" stands out as a masterpiece. This burrito is a culinary journey, generously stuffed with savory fillings and perfectly wrapped in a soft, yet resilient tortilla.But what truly elevates this dish is the pork green chili that adorns it. The chili is a harmonious blend of tender pork, simmered in a rich and flavorful green sauce that's both spicy and subtly sweet. The consistency is just right—not too thick, not too runny—allowing each bite of the burrito to be uniformly coated in this green wonder. The chili's heat is masterfully balanced, offering a warming sensation that does not overpower the intricate flavors of the burrito. It's a testament to the chef's skill in crafting a dish that is both comforting and exciting to the palate.Sam's No. 3 provides a cozy, welcoming atmosphere, making the experience of enjoying the Spero's Burrito all the more enjoyable. The staff's friendliness and efficiency in service complement the high-quality food, ensuring a memorable dining experience.

Come hungry! Very generous portions. I had the breakfast sandwich that was served on French toast, and it was delicious. Busy place, but it’s a big place, and they have efficient service so tables turn over quickly. We would definitely go back.

Shout-out to Mikey, he's our favorite person ever!!! We were visiting Denver for the first time, and blown away not just how much weed we smelled in the streets, but also by how friendly and cool everyone was. Sam's No. 3 is the epitome of a welcoming atmosphere. Great service (again, Mikey, you're the best!), and AMAZING food. Of course, we've only had one thing on the freakishly huge menu, which was the Colorado Buffalo Burrito, but it was the best breakfast burrito we've ever had. And it was so big, we had to split it. And neither my wife nor I could finish our half! It's enough for 2 hungry people, and I'm glad it was because that's not a cheap burrito! So the prices also seem reasonable. Thanks for the memory and delicious food, Sam's No. 3! We'll be sure to eat there every trip to Denver.

Super friendly staff, still gives the vibes of a small diner, super quick and very attentive. Come hungry, the portions are the real deal. First time I’ve been back since moving to Arizona and it still is amazing. Will make a point to come back every time I visit.

Ate breakfast here today as I've been walking by and saw enough waffles to motivate me. Ordered the Challah French toast and sausage. It was good. Nothing amazing but nothing to complain about. Service was meh but it got it done. I think it's a good place to eat. You won't be disappointed.

The menu is HUGE, but I don’t view that as a bad thing. They’ve got something for you regardless of what you’re craving. I had the fried cheese curds and a chicken fajita burrito, which came topped with their Green Chili sauce. Both were really tasty. The staff were very friendly and helpful! We didn’t have to wait too long either considering it was in the middle of the dinner rush. Definitely worth a try if you’re traveling from out of town or just haven’t been before.
