Sammy Lou's Home Cooking & BBQ

Owner was terribly rude , I was simply asking questions and he was using hand gestures as if he was shooing me away , as if I was a pigeon ; will not be telling anybody about anything positive about this establishment ..
No smell of bbq aroma in the air , think you should have inspections in that place at this point

I walked in and right back out after being told by the host they close in 30 minutes. Not even greeted or asked if i could be helped when all i wanted was something to go. Not good customer service at all!

Brisket was fair, sausage was good, and okra was excellent. The meatloaf dinner was poor at best; dry and bland tasting. Banana pudding was good. Service and ambiance was okay.

We love the food here! But the service is never good. The first time we went the server didn't even charge our card, we had to go back up there the next day and tell them they never charged us. Everyone just looked around like they didn't know what to do.

Service is slow, drink refills never come. It's obvious they're just stuck hiring a younger crowd that just doesn't know what they're doing. It's unfortunate too, because the food is good and we want to keep coming back, but we've given it 3 chances now and each time isn't any better. We may just try to-go in the future and see if that experience is any better.

Good place for bbq. Smoked chicken was excellent with crispy bite through skin. Staff was friendly and attentive.

Good BBQ spot in Rowlett. Little pricey but all BBQ is

I spent over 50 dollars . I ordered the grilled catfish dinner. They gave me fried catfish smh . I ordered an meatloaf plate with a side of mash potatoes and cream corn . Meatloaf looked like the hospital meatloaf lbs and tasted like it . The brown gravy is horrible. I also purchased the brisket Nachos, I wasn’t pleased with that either. (No flavor) I will never be back for sure !!! Save your money . Making my name Lou look bad asl !!!!

Went for lunch the other day and was not really impressed. The bbq was fair. The atmosphere was decent but the prices are a bit ridiculous. I had the 2 meat plate. Got 1 fatty piece of brisket and a couple tablespoons of pulled pork. The sides were small as well.
Probably won't go back due to the fact that they're are some really good places that are less expensive and where you get what you pay for
The best thing about this place is the onion rings!! Delicious!!

Omg so I was looking for some good ribs and I checked several places and read reviews and I decided to come here and when I tell you the ribs were falling off the bone omg so good!! 10 out of 10 would I recommend and I even told my husband I will be back tomorrow lol!! So good

We went to the restaurant Sunday n I ordered a cheese burger with onion , pickle , n mustard. There were 6 of us .After a while everyone relieved their order but me n a different waitress ask me if I ordered n I said yes n she asked what did you order . I said a cheese burger , she said a smash burger ? I said no a cheese burger with onion , pickle , n mustard only. She said I will get it for you. After a while I was given a smash burger , exactly what I didn't want. And it was terrible !!

Food was good, but unfortunately I did not receive my extra order of 8 rolls...

Also waited for over 32 minutes to receive my order that was called in that morning

A friend recommended this restaurant. Guess. It just wasn't our night. We had a coupon but because we order something that was on special we could not use it. Corn fritters were raw inside and my husband was brought the wrong side. I really wanted to like this place because it is a small neighborhood restaurant. But, at 41 dollars for chicken fried steak 2 sides and my 3 side meal it is probably the only time we will go there.

Graet service. But the food was nasty. Overcooked and mushy ribs with a lot of sauce to cover the taste. Over cookex brisket that stretches when pulled apart. Burned okra. Too much tomato sauce and weird taste on the meatloaf. Creamed corn tasted like it had gone bad. The pulled pork had no natural flavor. Overcookessausage.
It was not worthy the $175 dollar meal. Will not be going back.
