The food is amazing 👏 The fish po'boy and shrimp platter were both perfectly cooked. Large portions and well seasoned.

Absolute horrible experience. My online order was estimated to be ready between 6:05-6:10pm. I did NOT receive my order until 6:43pm. Zero communication from the staff about my 1 meal being 33 minutes BEYOND the initial "ready" time. I asked multiple times and was told every time that it would be up in just a moment. They hadn't even started the order but continued to lie. Claimed that because a larger party was the reason that my order was delayed yet when I walked in the large party was just paying for their order when mine had already been placed atleast 10 minutes prior to me getting to the restaurant. When I did get my food - half was hot and half was cold and soggy. Mac & cheese was disgusting. Fried oysters were so cold that they breading was mush and sliding off in wet clumps. Fish

Why o why have I not stopped here in the past! This place is absolutely perfect. Food was cooked fresh, and the shrimp was huge. The fries had a seasonings I couldn't put my finger on, but overall, it was delicious! Stop in, and you won't be disappointed!

Sam’s Southern Eatery is hands down one of the best spots to eat! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and absolutely off the chain. Every bite tastes like home-cooked goodness with that special southern touch. What makes it even better is the atmosphere—Nesreene, the owner, is one of the nicest and most welcoming people you’ll ever meet. She always greets customers with a big smile and makes you feel like family the moment you walk in. If you’re looking for great food and genuine hospitality, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!
