Where to Eat In Denver - Sam's No. 3
There's no denying that diner’s offer a certain “it” factor that can’t be replicated in other restaurants, and Sam’s No. 3 definitely has “it”. This circa-1927 diner has been serving up enormous helpings of comfort food all day long - breakfast through dinner - for almost 100 years! Whether you're craving comfort food or if you're just feeling a little nostalgic, you definitely need to stop by Sam's No. 3 during your next trip to Denver. Sam’s No. 3 boasts a location in Downtown Denver’s Central Business District, close to the homes of the Colorado Avalanche, the Colorado Rockies, the Denver Broncos and the Denver Nuggets, with other locations in Aurora and Glendale.
Sam’s No. 3 was opened by Sam Andrew Armatas. Sam immigrated illegally into the U.S. from Greece after fighting in WWI and he eventually ended up in Denver living under the name of “Sam Andrews”. Sam lived like this until 1936 when he was arrested by the F.B.I. due to his illegal immigration status. The judge assigned to Sam's case just so happened to be a regular customer at Sam’s No. 3, so he dropped all charges against Sam and allowed him to stay. Who’s to say that a good restaurant can’t change your life? Nowadays, Sam’s No. 3 is a bit of a pop-culture legend. It has been featured in countless articles, podcasts, Indie and student films, and countless other forms of media. They’ve even received shout-outs from the likes of the NBC Sunday Night Football crew, USA Today, Flea from The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Jack Black! Their menu is diverse, with their full breakfast, lunch and dinner menu boasting over 100 items. Their most popular offering is their critically-acclaimed Kickin’ Green Pork Chilli. This chilli is served on everything from their fries to their Kitchen Sink Burrito! Packed with diced ham, bacon, sausage, gyro meat, onion, tomato, bell peppers and mushrooms, Guy Fieri himself enjoyed this burrito on "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" and we highly recommend that you do the same!
Down-home and divey, Sam’s No. 3 is easily one of Denver’s favorite food spots. The numbers don't lie! They go through 60 gallons of their green chilli per day and 22,000 eggs per week, serving 2,800 people daily on weekdays and 3,900 people daily on weekends. Offering cold beer, cocktails and milkshakes to go along with their vast menu of comfort food, Sam’s No. 3 should be high on your list of "places to eat" while in Denver!
