Sam’s No. 3 was the 3rd of 5 Coney islands opened by patriarch Sam Armatas in the 1920’s. The original location was at 1527 Curtis St.  On 9/28/98, Sam’s son Spero and grandson’s Sam, Alex and Patrick Established Sam’s No. 3 and made a promise to each other to continue the excellent food quality and warm atmosphere started by “Mr. Sam” over 80 years earlier.  They have many long-time managers and employees who say that this is the best family, ever, to work for!

Sam’s No. 3 has been awarded Westword’s “Best of Denver” and “Top Breakfast Places.” Their Colorado green chili is famous and they serve homemade Greek specialties for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sam’s favorites include delicious Bloody Mary’s, Macho Nachos, Greek Salad, Breakfast Split and the Colorado Buffalo Burrito. You can even get a burrito that is as big as your head at Sam’s No 3!  On weekends, there is always a big crowd gathering for breakfast and brunch at this very popular diner.  A weekday breakfast or lunch will allow you to try this incredible diner, highly touted on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives, and be seated right away.
