They are great!!! So friendly, fast service and order is always correct. We drive from West Monroe to Bastrop to eat (about 30 miles) I get fried liver. It is the best ever. I haven't met the cook but he is awesome! My husband loves his friend fish.

To start Ms. Miracle was delightful. It was our first time here from Ga. She was attentive and patient with me. We got our food to go and it was delicious through and through. I had to get multiple things (Liver and Gizzards, crab cakes, whole catfish and 4 sides. Very reasonably priced on all items. I know one place I can get good food and it's here. I'm glad the recommendation came to me. They have enough tables and chairs for you to dine in and not be all on top of others comfortably. Great place! I had the pleasure of coming back to this tasty place. This time I was determined to dine in. Again Ms. Miracle was incredibly sweet. The baby shrimp basket was seasoned perfectly and cooked golden brown. I am not a hush puppy person but they were one of the best I've had. The sides are not s

Excellent fried jumbo shrimp (and sauce), okra, hushpuppies, coleslaw! Honestly the best fried shrimp I've ever had. Light coating, perfect seasoning and cooked right. Highly recommend.

My husband & I always stop at Sam's either going to MS or heading back to TX. Always welcoming, good food, and great service. However today was different the cashier named Brit was very unprofessional & inviting. No greeting acting as if we weren't there, then just a dull look when she finally asked what we wanted we started to leave but gave it a try anyway. Appearance & attitude is all a part of great customer service, she has neither top dirty with some worn out house shoes in an eatery is diabolical really.. She brings the food and I advised her my order wasn't correct. Her response was i put it in its on the receipt. I said I understand that but it wasn't done. We decided to grab to go boxes & not continue with the dine-in experience. Signed, UNHAPPY CUSTOMER I ALWAYS RECOMMEND THIS P

I ordered everything fried very crispy. Everything including the fries were soggy. I picked up a piece of fish and half of it flopped .. attached picture) over and it's all mushy inside. Mushy fish is gross. Can't imagine what I would have received had I not asked for extra crispy. Why can't people friggin follow instructions? They would have way less complaints. I'm not happy with the food quality either. Tastes like they caught the fish in the muddy river. Very nasty taste. I kid you not the fish tastes like you took a bite of a poot. Really gross. Tons of ketchup can't even cover it up. And some normal tartar sauce would be nice even if in a package. And no hush puppies on a 3 shrimp 3 fish plate. REALLY? This whole order was a flop except the crab cake. Thank God I ordered it on a whim
