I’m from Brazil, and my friend is from Argentina. We love to brag about our steaks and churrasco. We found this location for an American BBQ when visiting Valdosta. And the experience was fantastic! There were great people and an excellent BBQ. We loved everything we tried. Ribs out of this world. They gave us some sausage and beans to try, and it was just as good as everything else. In summary, American BBQ like this one at Sam is a staple to the culture and must be passed on from generation to generation.

This was our first time at Sam’s Carry Out BBQ. We were driving from Florida to NC and stopped here because of the reviews because I love BBQ. They didn’t disappoint and when they found out it was our first time they gave us a sample of everything. My SIL and I couldn’t finish the samples between the two of us. It was all delicious, especially the pulled pork, the sauce (which we bought jars of to take home), pork skins, and the baked beans were my favorite. We ordered two sandwiches to go and the portions were so massive I was so glad I had brought a Tupperware container because we filled it to the rim and we are still eating leftovers three days later. I highly recommend visiting, not only was the food good but everyone was so incredibly nice. Thank you. 😊

Just moved to Georgia from Colorado. I asked a few people where the best bbq was and Sam's was one of the suggestions. I knew it was going to be good when I smelled it cooking from down the street. We came in being welcomed by everyone. It smelled so good. When Sam found out it was our first time there he loaded up a carry out box full of ribs, pulled pork, and sausage for us to sample. Everything was amazing! We ended up ordering everything we sampled. We left with enough food for a small army, and trust me it may take us a few days to eat all of it, but it will not go to waste. Sam and company, you have gained a new customer for life! Thank you for the warm welcome to Georgia.

I would give this place 10 stars if I could! Seriously the best bbq I’ve ever had in my whole life! Sam is amazing! They all took great care of us and gave us an incredible sampler with all kinds of delicious meats. Loved the ribs and pulled pork and wow! The brisket was fire! The Mac and cheese was also insanely good! Everything was soooo good! If you have the chance to go.. don’t waste any time! It’s amazing!

Was told that this was the spot for good bbq so we paid them a visit this weekend and was highly disappointed! 2 meat platter was $35.99+ tax which we thought would be ok if it was really good. Food was not good at all! Chicken was just barely ok, ribs wasn’t good at all, no flavor or real seasonings. The bbq sauce they put on was very nasty, it was like tomato paste and water blended. Then I see they have mustard bbq sauce which they don’t offer it for the food, it’s for sale only which is insane, anything to make the food better should be included. But what it told us was the bbq sauce that was put on the food was trash at that point. We also got a small sweet potato pie and it was trash, seemed as if it was made with canned sweet potatoes and no love put in it at all! They also served u
