Sam’s Southern Eatery

The food was ok. Had to wait 30 minutes for our order and there was only one or two other tables of people in the restaurant. There was a TV that was blaring odd music. Wasn't a good experience. Won't be back.

This place is cold, as in NO heat. We ordered a family dinner, 12 pieces of fish, with 2 sides. Red beans and rice and corn, there was no Mac and cheese on a Sunday. So very disappointed to say the least. $43 and some change, the sides were literally 1/2 cup of each….for a family meal! Save your money and go somewhere else that has heat and knows how to treat their customers. Plastic ware and styrofoam cups, our meal was to eat there, not to go.

We were there at 2:30 PM on a Friday. Only one other person in the restaurant dining.
Only one person working that we could see.
Many tables and booth seats needed swiped off.
Floors were sticky.
Front door glass and windows needed cleaned.
I can't imagine what the the kitchen looked like.
The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is for the food. I had the gombo and the wife had fish and shrimp. Food was good with ample portions.

Nice guy all alone at lunch
Oh well just me and one other customer
Fish is over salted and hard as a rock, oysters same.
French fries same. Should have ran when there is no one there at lunch.

The customer service at this restaurant was great. It was mine and my mother's first time eating there and we took a while to figure out what we wanted to order, but the lady who took our order had no issues with how long that took or explaining what things are, and the restaurant had a fairly chill atmosphere. However, as we got our food: a plate of fried pickles, a double burger, an eight piece shrimp, Mac & Cheese, and coleslaw, we gradually noticed our food was over seasoned. For example, we could barely taste the Mac & Cheese with the amount of pepper in it, we could only taste mayonnaise in the coleslaw, and our shrimp had way too much salt on it. We paid about $50 so the amount of things we could point out about our food was disappointing, but we had no problems with the customer service or the atmosphere of the restaurant.

This place is absolutely trash. I don't know how you manage to make food that's oversalted and yet unseasoned. Mac and cheese is just microwaved, and super watery. Tables are sticky, and food took forever to get to the table despite there being no customers at all besides my party.

Save yourself, this place is a waste.

Catfish was great, the buffalo wings need to be tossed to be considered buffalo wings. Not just buffalo sauce on the side. Also the mac and cheese needs a lot of work. Stay away from the mac. Inedible. The side of corn was really good though.

My husband and I use to eat here often when we lived in Springfield but we just came back after a year of not eating it and they have gone down hill BAD. The bathrooms had no toilet paper and the toilet in the ladies room rocks side to side. Then paid almost $60 to be brought under cooked food and watery runny Mac n cheese. I’m not one to leave reviews good or bad but this was just trash.
