This was our first visit to Trader Sam's and it will be our last. The service was average. Don't expect too much and you won't be disappointed. It's a very nice, clean area that overlooks the hotel pools which makes for a very pleasant view. The outdoor fireplace seating is comfortable. We ordered the fish and chips. The menu stated... More

Tables are a bit hard to snaffle at Trader Sam's but we timed it right and went there with our two boys 10 and 13 on a Sunday night. Table service took a while to get to us but once it did it was great. We are big fans of the Enchanted Tiki Room so this is like being there... More

We came here for an after dinner drink as I had seen some fun pictures of the bar and we were looking for a kitschy retro tiki bar. Voila! Here it is! The drinks were good, but not great. I like a stiff drink as much as the next person and my Zombie was so strong it was almost undrinkable.... More

It's unfortunate that so many people felt they didn't get good service at Trader Sam's; I thought we had excellent service. We came to Sam's after a day at the parks - probably made it in around 7:30/7:45ish. We walked right in and hung out at the bar for a few minutes until a table opened up. If you can,... More

Let me start by saying I have never written a review on anything, but the service was so terrible here I felt compelled to. My husband and I were looking forward to trying some of the drinks I've heard about here. We walked inside and first off, it is way smaller in person than the pictures on the internet. So... More

I read a review that they served kids cocktails. My 10 year old was looking forward to having one before dinner. We had to search high and low and we finally found this tiny little enclosed bar in the back behind the pools. It looked like a very shady bar you would find in a biker movie. We quickly left...

We were staying at the Disneyland Hotel so this was right out our door. So small, it was awkward standing around waiting for a table to free up. Service was crap, borderline rude. Signature drinks so strong they were almost undrinkable. I know that sounds ridiculous but they were like large shots of straightup liquor rather than mixed cocktails. Food... More

Wow, I could have been on fire and no one would have helped. I made it a point to make everyone walk to find Trader Sam's…wanted to have a nice drink on the patio…looked nice online… But no one ever came to help, waiting quite some time, the couch and resting and talking was great, so it didn't bother me...

After 2 days of hitting the parks hard, this was a great place to sit and relax with 2 tired kids and enjoy some very tasty tropical drinks. We sat outside and took over a coach and lounge chair area where the kids got to spread out and chill for a bit. While we didn't spend much time inside, Trader... More
