Yes. It is 10x better than the Farragut location.

I agree, I have never been to the Farragut location. I used to eat at the one in west town a lot. It was always good.

10x as better?!

I mean Sam and Andy's in general is somewhere between good and pretty good. 10x as better would be like Stock and Barrel level. A bit of an exaggeration, perhaps?

No, I got a Mescal Negroni. Honestly, all the drinks sounded awesome so it was hard to choose. I did the Elk Sliders and Lobster Hush Puppies as an appetizer, and the Pan Seared Trout. Seriously, some of the best food I’ve ever had.

The elk entree is ridiculous good. I remember the rabbit-rattlesnake sausage and a tuna appetizer being great too.

Just comparing food and atmosphere, 10x isn't really an exaggeration. I wish it was closer to home, but Fountain City isn't really that bad of a drive from Kingston.

Stock and Barrel burgers, give me a break. Sam and Andys blows them away.

The stock and barrel burger I had was one of the best I have ever had so I guess I need to go to Sam and Andys and I guess have an orgasm right there in the place?

I'm going to be in town tomorrow through Monday. What are the must haves - I've got stock and barrel written down.

Go to Five downtown on Sunday for the best $5 burger. Also, get the shrimp appetizer. Great stuff.

If you like pho, hit up Bida Saigon
My buddy recommends Restaurant Linderhof

In terms of breweries is anyone competing with crafty bastard? It was easily the best when I made the rounds last year.

Highly recommend Lonesome Dove and JC Holdway downtown.

Lol! Sam and Andy's uses typical store grade beef, nothing special is done with the patty and they slap it on a flat top grill.

Yes, go and pretend pull a Meg Ryan from When Harry Met Sally at Sam and Andy's.

 

[doozer]

Sam and Andy’s has probably been using the same flat top for years, so it’s going to be pretty well seasoned, making a better than average burger.

That said, it’s not Stock and Barrell

Tomorrow is Crafty's 2 year anniversary. Be there or be square.

Tomorrow is Crafty's 2 year anniversary. Be there or be square.

Just checked the details on Facebook. I'm definitely going to be there. Loved it when I was there last year. Looking forward to that NE IPA

Hey, Mock. Haven't seen you around in a while. Maybe I've not been looking in the right places. Hope all Is well.

Lol, good luck with that...BD has a long-standing vendetta against S&B. You know what they say about opinions: everybody has one, and some are just flat wrong.

I've had a burger in other cities that I might say was "as good" as S&B, but I don't think I could ever say I've had one that I would say was definitely better. It's a 10 in my book.

I look at it this way: I'm not so much trying to argue with BD as I am trying to keep the occasional reader of this thread from making an ill-informed decision.

Stock and barrel was great
