UPDATED: This used to be my favorite place on College Street and the best place for fried livers.
But not now.
I got a box of livers and okra to go yesterday (10/13/25) and the okra was so hard with strings as to be inedible and the livers- they were ROCKS. Damn near burnt up. I tried cutting them to see if anything was salvageable and they are dried up as well as any jerky you could buy. This isn’t a cook having an off day- this is someone who hates livers cooking them with all their spiteful passion.

Y’all ruined what used to be a beautiful thing for me as a customer. I don’t think I can trust you for anything to-go ever again. I used to eat here with my dad once a month. He’s gone now, and I can’t bear to sully those memories.

You can’t hardly find a chicken place that offers gizzards and livers let alone a restaurant that knows how to make them- but this place makes their food like they love you! Everything my family ate from the okra and livers to the shrimp, chicken & fish was PERFECT. Try the fried green tomatoes! You’ll be glad you did. Seating is limited, but they serve generous portions in takeaway boxes. A new family favorite place for us. Sam, you have great people working for you! They’re doing excellent work and are worthy to be praised.

I loveeeee the jumbo fried shrimp and their fried green tomatoes. Consistent, friendly and priced fair.

Always great food and awesome service! Our favorite if the Managers special chicken strips. 6 pcs of large chicken strips and 2 sides for under $9. Plus their housemade sauce rivals Canes any day!

Some of the best fired shrimp 🍤 in southeast TX and the homemade tartar sauce makes it 10X better

Husband and I ordered the fish and wasn't pleased with it at all. It was undercooked and wasn't flavorful.

Today I purchased 2 fried catfish dinners. The young lady who rung me up only gave one small cup of Tatar sauce for each meal. She hestistated with rudeness stating only 2 per customer. Mind you it’s 2 dinners. That’s not enough Tatar sauce for all that food. Same issue with the ketchup. One per meal. I had already spent right at $25 for those 2 meals. She should have proudly without hesitation and rudness given what I ask for. Never again, I will bring business there. Take somewhere. Let me not forget the people ahead of me had the same issue with the cashier. Rudeness/ very stingy with the condiments.

This is a mixed review about Sam's southern eatery. I got 3 fish 3 shrimp fried with red beans rice and green beans for sides. The fried fish was overcooked. Shrimp may have been over cooked as well. However I still ate cause the portions were huge . If they were cooked right I would of gave a better rating . But maybe it's hard to cook the bigger portions just right . The red beans and rice were phenomenal,just like Popeyes . Delicious. Grenbeans taste like they were from a can. I will be back to try again . I'll just remind them not to over cook my fish and shrimp next time . For the atmosphere of the restaurant,I went early in the morning on a week day, so wasn't busy ,the sitting area could use a remodel. But hey i wasn't there to sit and eat. I got take out. Hope this place is even better next time! Go try them!
