"I've been passing by this restaurant for a long time without stopping in, but today I finally did, and I'm so glad I did. I ordered the grilled tilapia platter, and it was absolutely fantastic—cooked to perfection with wonderful spices and topped with grilled onions. The sides, which were green beans and coleslaw, were decent but not as impressive as the fish. They were perfectly edible, just not at the same level as the main dish. Overall, I rate this place 4 stars. The restaurant was clean, and the restroom was well-maintained. If you haven't tried this restaurant yet, you definitely should!"

They were open on Christmas Day, and we decided to have dinner there. It was fantastic! The customer service was some of the best we've ever experienced at a restaurant. The food was delicious, and the portions were generous! We will definitely be returning!

Delicious homestyle cuisine offered at reasonable prices with generous portions. Our server was on his first day, and he performed exceptionally well—very attentive and courteous. Overall, this was a fantastic first experience at Sam's, and I can’t wait to return for more! View menu

The fried catfish filets are absolutely delicious! The fried okra is very tasty, and the fried green tomatoes are also good. However, I'm not a fan of the onion rings. The coleslaw is mayo-based and quite tasty as well. The fried chicken livers are outstanding! The jumbo fried shrimp truly live up to their name. Unfortunately, the ambiance leaves something to be desired.

The waitress/hostess was incredibly pleasant, which made for an interesting visit. However, I believe in the saying, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." While the service was great, unfortunately, the rest of the experience did not live up to expectations. Trust your instincts from the moment you arrive. After over two hours, we ended up heading to McDonald's for a meal instead.

"Food is great. Service ranges from so-so to fantastic. They have had fantastic servers and then we have had the rudest little girls working the front counter that I've ever experienced at any other fast food restaurant LOL We had decided we were never going to go back after the last rude employee we experienced(we actually walked out!)but their tenderloin sandwiches are so good, we gave it another try and it didn't disappoint! I ALSO did happen to leave my wallet in the restaurant this last time. When I called the next day they told me that they didn't have it. After driving to the restaurant and talking to the general manager, we were able to track my wallet down from another employee who had put it in a safe spot the night before. It was only due to the lack of communication that they thought my wallet wasn't there. The manager called us right away to let us know that they found it and when I got there all of my money and my cards were still inside! This is a great little place to have some good food and watch some sports on their many televisions. Our servers have always been fantastic and honestly I think it's due to the age and the immaturity of some of the young kids working that can put a bad taste in your mouth. Sometimes kids just don't know any better and hopefully they will learn with experience. I would definitely recommend giving this place a shot!"
