I ate here only once a long time ago, before they were caught buying stolen HEB meat. I was shorted ten dollars because they did not have change. I let them keep my ten dollars but later realized they didn’t even offer me anything extra. Like a sandwich or rib. The one sandwich I did have was okay but I would not recommend this place at all.

BBQ was great but the prices. A lot of BBQ places are going under. Going under because people can no longer afford to eat it. Raw brisket is 4.96$ a pound you have half shrinkage costs about 11$ a pound to make 22.50$ a pound would be more than sufficient. You make money in a restaurant by doing VOLUME. Shame everything in this country has to be unaffordable to the common people

I used to be a Sam's BBQ patron back in the 70s, 80s and early 90s!!! But wow, yesterday was our first time going back! AND WHAT A VIBE!!! There was music! The rib sandwich I had was so amazingly tender and flavorful!!! A GREAT REMINDER OF THE BBQ from back in the day. The atmosphere was electric! We went to get a daquari, and stayed for the fun!!! We going back on Saturday!

New to Texas,and I've tried several bbq spots that were ok at best. I was thinking Texas judgement on bbq was not it. Came to Sam's bbq and found my new bbq spot! Amazing service and the food is top tier! 10/10

Sweet Jesus!!! Love love love! I come from Iowa where my pops smoked and bbq every Sunday- can I say Sam’s took me home ❤️and I love them for that. The daiquiris on the side were a BONUS BUT I DEFINITELY WILL BE BACK. Prices portions and taste waaaaayyyy better than terry blacks.

Backyard style BBQ, 3 star was appropriate for the food, but the small cough on the back of the butcher's hand and cutting my meat definitely lost an extra star.
