Description

After more than thirty years, the Armatas family has returned Sam's No. 3 -- the flagship in an eighty-year-old restaurant empire -- to its original home. The menu is voluminous, with eight pages crammed with specials and sides and extras. Although the core offerings remain the Coney Island favorites that made Sam's reputation back in the 1920, there are also skillet breakfasts, 15 kinds of burgers, 21 breakfast burritos and a full page of Mexican grub. All of it's big food, served in a down-home style. Welcome back.

  • 2013 | Best Vegetarian Green Chile

    Let's face it: There isn't much for non-meat-eaters on the menu at Sam's No. 3. Not at the oldest one in Aurora, not at the downtown one, which opened a decade ago right where the first Sam's stood in the '20s, and not at the new spot in Glendale. And perhaps that's as it should be, considering that no matter what its location, Sam's has been catering to meat-lovers for close to a century, and certainly long before "vegetarian" or "vegan" were common words in the restaurant lexicon. But... More »

  • 2012 | Best Vegetarian Green Chile

    In its various incarnations, Sam's has been serving up classic diner fare for close to nine decades. The current Sam's No. 3 was featured in a recent episode of the Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives devoted to a "Porktastic" theme, so you know that its pig (and ubiquitous pork green chile) is up to scratch. But vegetarians have their own reason to seek out Sam's: The thick, spicy vegetarian version of the green can be added to any number of dishes on Sam's extensive menu, smothering... More »

  • 2008 | Best Pie After the Opera

    Blueberry, peach, apple and cherry -- with a revolving menu of pies made fresh daily, Sam's No. 3 is great spot to grab a slice after a night at the nearby Denver Performing Arts Complex. The only thing flakier than the delicious crust might be the crowd surrounding you -- an eclectic bunch that's apt to include hipsters, workers getting off their late shift and opera lovers. And if your snack leaves you hungering for more, you can take home an entire Sam's pie for $7.75. More »

  • 2006 | BEST QUICK DINNER BEFORE
    A NIGHT AT THE OPERA

    Last year, Sam's #3 opened in pretty much the same spot where the original Sam's closed almost fifty years before, and ever since, culture vultures have had a surefire option for gulping a fast dinner before taking in a show at the Denver Performing Arts Complex a block away. Even though the menu is incredibly extensive, offering everything from fried chicken and cheeseburgers to catfish and Sam's original chili, the guys in the kitchen know how to turn and burn their way through a rush, how...

    After fifteen years, Sam Taylor's Bar-B-Q has closed its doors...making way for a third Sam's No. 3

    Full Circle

    By Jason Sheehan | Thu, July 21, 2005

    When I moved "out West," I never thought I'd make it. Not really. Not way down deep, where a boy's roots grow. When I first came here with thoughts of commitment -- as opposed to the little visits I'd made in the past, tooling around Santa Fe... More »

    this restaurant has been around since I was a little girl, we use to live right above it in downtown Denver, the cooks aklways wore those white paper hats,and coooked right in front of the window so you could watch them from outside. the place has always been busy, when I found the location on S. Havana I was throlled to see it was still owned by the family members,food is great,prices are very reasonable,try the smothered chicken fried Steak in green chilie with eggs.Yummy..and there Chilie dogs put them on the map, you will be happy with anything you order
