I rarely leave negative reviews. If I do not enjoy a place, I usually just move on and hope for a better experience the next time. This was my second visit to Sam’s Steakhouse and I am honestly flabbergasted by both experiences.
The restaurant is marketed and priced like a steakhouse, but the atmosphere does not match. The décor feels more like a family diner, and the cooking setup in the middle of the dining room gives off Hibachi-style vibes even though it is not Hibachi. The man at the grill, who appeared to be the owner, spent much of the time loudly barking orders at the staff in a way that came across as distasteful. The servers seemed intimidated by him and overly apologetic, which was uncomfortable to watch.
Both times I visited, I came alone and ordered a steak. Each time I waited over an hour. On this visit, my steak was mistakenly delivered to another table. I overheard the owner instruct the server to retrieve it. Thankfully, someone had already touched the plate so they did not try to bring it back to me. No one informed me that a new steak would be started from scratch, although I could see and hear everything because of the open setup.
While waiting, I ate the included salad. After sitting for so long I told my server I did not have time to wait any longer and asked to only be charged for the salad. The bill was seventeen dollars for the salad alone. The server, who seemed to understand my frustration, gave me the impression that this was not the first time she had been in this situation.
The overall experience was frustrating, the atmosphere did not feel polished, and the service did not match the price point. My steak alone would have been about forty dollars, and nothing about the environment, the food, or the management made it feel worth it.

Service was friendly and nice, the food was a let down. Steak and salad bar were okay, but everything was dirty and grubby.

This is one of my favorite places. We drive nearly an hour to get there. The quality of the meat is really good, and you can cook your own or have them cook for you. Staff is friendly. Salad bar is really good, too. The atmosphere isn't fancy, but we come for the food, the service, the price. Family friendly. It's just a really comfortable feeling when we've been there. Plenty of food and ample choices.

Been here a few times.... It's not bad.... Steaks could use some seasoning though.... A bit pricey..... Waitress was good.....
When I came, it was pretty quiet. Had a nice feel. Got a table pretty quickly. The salad bar is, not great for the price that was paid. The steak flavor was good, but the one I got was way too thick. The flavor was on the outside, inside wasn't very flavorful. The other issue was due to the thickness, and the cook was just off. The outside was med, while the center was pretty raw. Only a small part was cooked to medium rare.
The interior is a little dated, but maybe the look they are going for?
Improvements. Thinner cut steak that's wider. That way the flavor is more even with each bite. With the salad bar, do more of a spring salad mix, which shouldn't raise the cost much. The plastic cups, feel cheap, maybe good for kids? But with the price paid, a nice glass cup would feel more worth it. The knife felt really cheap, thin, and not very sharp. All the plates by the salad bar made me wonder how long they had been there, and how much dust/dirt could float onto them. So I would tuck those away. Was also craving fresh baked bread. With low volume though, that may cost to much but would bring a nice warm smell to the restaurant.

This place is the first place that had asparagus that was seasoned well…the steak was cooked to perfection…it is a must come back because for a 22oz steak that’s $30 it’s definitely worth it

A steakhouse with its own unique atmosphere. You can choose your steak and watch it grilled to order on an open flame grill centered in the dining room. You'll also enjoy the salad bar stocked with the usual choices. Overall, I like Sam's better than the cookie cutter chain steakhouse. It's much quieter than the outback roadhouse s.

Right next to the Lincoln motel. Go eat and walk back to your room. Very quiet out in the corn fields and far enough away from the highway when you are sleeping. Owner is very nice to talk to during breakfast.

Drinks were not very good and over priced. Steaks were very expensive, so we ordered fish. Salad bar was good.
