Sam's Southern Eatery Reviews
Great place to eat, had the 3 fish 3 shrimp 3 crab cakes, tasted great, really hot so much food I couldn’t believe it , giant cokes with refills, if you love to eat this is the place!
Wow! That’s what I have to say after eating there yesterday. I’m a fried fish fan but I ordered half grilled. The peppers and onions appeared to be fresh, not from a frozen mixture. They were sliced thin enough that only a small amount of grilling released the flavor and aroma to whet the appetite!
Not only that but the wait staff went out of their way to make us comfortable.
I’ll be going back!
Excellent food and great service. The portions are huge and the prices are very reasonable!

Sam's Southern Eatery offers delicious, fresh food with large portions that customers love. The menu features traditional fried and grilled meals, and many appreciate the good value. The fried tilapia, shrimp, and catfish are standouts, and the fried fish and shrimp meal has received high praise. Although the restaurant may feel a bit dated, the Southern cooking, including their catfish family meal, has earned positive reviews. Customers have enjoyed a variety of dishes like fried okra, fried green tomatoes, crab cakes, and shrimp po'boys. The portions are generous, often resulting in takeout boxes, and many diners have found meals like the Philly cheesesteak to be a great deal, with a full meal under $15. Suggestions have been made for additional sides like greens and fried okra, as well as dessert options such as pecan pie or peach cobbler with ice cream. While some diners have noted receiving plastic utensils and suggested that the dining room could use upgrades, the overall food, service, and atmosphere have been praised. Many are eager to share their find with friends and recommend Sam's Southern Eatery for a great meal at a good price.
