Sam's No. 3B
1500 Curtis Street, Denver, CO 80202
· Breakfast restaurant, American restaurant, Diner
Classic downtown diner with huge portions, fast service, and lively energy; great for breakfast and groups, but expect noise, occasional inconsistencies, a 3.33% surcharge, and coffee that divides opinion.
The verdict
Sam's No. 3 delivers dependable diner comfort with strong food quality anchored by hearty breakfasts and green chile, paired with attentive service and impressive speed. However, variable execution—swapped burger doneness, inconsistent burrito fillings—prevents grade A territory.
One caveat: Noise levels are high at peak times; seating together can be tricky for larger groups
