  the food is great but if you detest smoking like we do, wife has COPD, don’t go here. Halfway through the meal two guys sat next to us, which the table was empty, and lit up 2 cigars and smoked us out, when we called the manager over to complain he basically said we allow them to do that here so just live with it, it wasn’t even their table they, compassionately walked away from theirs so not to offend the people they were sitting with. The food may be good here but not worth this with so many other good places on the gulf to eat. We had to box out food and finish it at home, NEVER AGAIN

  We were recommended this place by a local who knew his stuff. What a fun & happy place & staff, our waitress was Silvia. Our salads were yummy & generous. The beer selection was great, the wine selection just OK. The view of the Gulf is amazing! You’d be hard pressed to find a better beach bar, check it out.

  What a horrible experience tonight. We’ve been going to Sam’s for about 5 years now. My family was in town and I was bragging about how good they were so we went. I expected a wait because we got there at 6:30. waited maybe 45 minutes. The manager walks up to us and apologizes for the wait saying that there has been a table sitting with about 6 people at it for going on 4 hours. We were okay with that but agreed with him that 4 hours is a little long, especially for a Friday night. We finally get to sit down at our table, waitress comes, very nice in the beginning. We order our drinks and when she brings them back we go ahead and order our meals. We ordered shrimp baskets, fish baskets, chicken fingers a Mahi entree. My sister, mother and I all ordered a side salad. After another 35 minutes of waiting for our salads, my husband gets up. While he is gone, low and behold, our meal arrives. Like all of it, including the side salads. Now typically, the salads come before the meal, but our waitress somehow assumed we wanted them with the meal. Ok, her bad. BUT… all of meals were cold. The fish baskets were still cold in the center and super mushy. The chicken fingers were just that, the size of a chicken finger, They were so small. My nephew said the Mahi was fine, but his potatoes were cold and hard. Now, in the past, I have always just ordered the shrimp basket and it has always been perfect. Not so much this time. Typically I would get about 10-12 shrimp. I got seven and my sister got 6. For $15.95, that was a rip off. The manager comes over, of course apologizes, brings my mother and husband two more pieces of fish and my nephew some more potatoes. Fish was still cold in the middle and mushy. Potatoes tasted scorched. Such a huge embarrassment considering we were bragging about this place to our family members. But there was no sense in calling the manager because he did not seem affected by the fact that he had customers that were not satisfied. He seemed to like blaming everything on it being Friday night. Really, the only good thing about Sam’s is the no smoking now. But that pretty much sums it up. We will not be back for a while until something changes. A one star is far too much at this point.
