Came here with an empty stomach and now I’m writing this review full and satisfied. This is a must try. Head on in to get the family owned feeling, traditional service with amazing meat! I got the teriyaki chicken, and my girlfriend got the tri tip sandwich. The beans were hot! The Mac salad was super good, and most of all the chicken was super tasty, I tried one of the sauces and it just hits way different than some regular food. Got to support your local food chains, and if you’re doing that come here.

Sammy's is some really good Barbeque! Who ever is cooking in the back has got some great talent! We stopped by for lunch and we got the tri tip. So good!! They had some good shows on the TVs football, and spongebob and had some good music playing too. Cozy little spot in the middle of Eureka! If you are passing through, or if you live here in Eureka, stop by. Its good.

Came through here right now on a road trip. This place was recommended by the locals so I had high expectations. Every one of my expectations were met and the bar has been raised. This place is SLAPPING!! The tri tip is FIRE and the sauce is deadly good. This place is doing it all right. I love the hometown feel in here too. Lots of space being your family. If your stopping by or haven’t tried it yet your missing out. Also the staff here is super nice and the joint is clean!

First time customer. It smells so good driving past I actually turned around and went back. Several issues. The girl who took my order clearly needs a refresher course in basic restaurant hygiene practices. The place needs some serious cleaning and updating. Someone’s togo order sat at the end of the counter in a bag. It just sat there. Getting cold. When I finally received my order, it was kind of a joke. Five dollar teriyaki bowl. Unfortunately, they used one piece of chicken for both teriyaki bowls. I clearly got shorted. It was kind of pink inside. I threw up about an hour ago. And I have quite literally been sick since I ate it. I’m still sick. I don’t think I’ll ever go back. And it’s sad too because I think it could be a good place to eat. But it needs help. I do not recommend it. A

It’s been a few years since I ate here, but let me tell you!! It’s only gotten better. First thing that came to mind after my first bite was “make you wanna slap yo momma!!” Shoutout to auntie for the most delicious cake!!
