The building is showing signs of neglect, arrived after a short rain storm and the ceiling leaked on me throughout my meal. The food sat in the window under a heat lamp long enough for the calamari app to get rubbery, granddaughter had crab leg boil and was up half the night with it revisiting her... Pay attention to the most recent reviews - not recommended unless you're going there to drink.

My experience at Sam’s Boat on Richmond 09/13/25, was phenomenal. My server was Cindy, who was attentive, joyful and efficient. Cindy you rock! I ordered grilled lemon pepper chicken wings along with a shrimp and avocado salad. Both food options were delicious. Cindy informed me of the drink special, which was a great choice for me, a peach margarita. Thank you Cindy and kudos to the bartender. There is plenty of parking and very spacious inside and out for everyone who dines at Sam’s Boat.

The food has seriously gone downhill. The wings are terrible!! We tried 3 different flavors and ate none of them. The seafood fondue is hit and miss. Sometimes no seafood and runny. It is a great place to watch sports. Lots of big screens and a great patio. The waitresses are rude and rarely come to the table. Best serv8ce is at the bar. Bartender service is excellent.

Wish I could give 0 stars. This place is not worth going to. The food is bad at best. The gumbo was way too salty, the wings were very tiny! The server, a very skinny Latino girl, with a strong accent that I had a hard time understanding, was very rude. When I asked for a manager, she said he is busy in the office. We then asked for our tab and she added gratuity to it. There was only 4 of us. We asked again for a manager, and some tall skinny white guy came out of the kitchen stumbling all over the place and came to our table. He stunk of alcohol and couldn't even form a sentence. We gave up and paid the tab with gratuity just to get out of there. As we were leaving a bartender stopped us to apologize, and said this happens all the time. Told her we can't be apart of this chaos. As we were leaving, my wife pointed out the manager went behind the bar and poured himself a glass full of vodka and drink it right behind the bar. Not sure what kind of circus they are running up there, but I won't bring my family back there.
I love this place...good food great customer service and awesome atmosphere...the live band was great...

The BAD review- Went in July 27 around 4:30 pm. Our server was Andrea , skinny brunette, I wanted a side of michelada mix with a club soda. She informed me I absolutely had to pay for the full michelada including the beer as opposed to just a side of the mix. I did end up getting a non alcoholic beer with my mix only because she said I would have to pay the same price. But I was very disappointed.
The GOOD review- the bartender today , August 17 at around 5 pm, that served us was amazing. Unfortunately forgot to ask her name. Attentive and helpful. Paid the correct price for the michelada mix. We sat on the right side bar if facing the kitchen.
