    the soda machine was greatest food, fresh and hot, served with pleasant staff. Very clean and organized tables and facility. Will recommend any dat of the week. My favorite is fried green tomatoes and fried oysters. Never forget the red beans and rice as a side. Not Helpful

    I admit the outside of this place makes one a little apprehensive to enter. (Just an old Wendy's building.) However, I have to say the food is incredible! We get the combo that has 3 pieces of fish, 3 crab cakes, 3 large shrimp, okra, cole slaw and hush puppies....and it's only $18.99. SOOO much food and definitely worth the price! The tarter sauce is delicious btw.

    If I get to Brownwood, I'm eating here every time. Fried catfish was excellent. They let me order the child's plate and it is plenty of food for one person. Clean and great service. Set up like fast food, you order at the counter, but they bring the food to your table.

    Food is overpriced if you aren't even going to get what you order. I ordered to go Friday evening. I live in Coleman. Drove home, sat down to eat, and realized the oysters were missing from my meal. (I ordered the 3 fish/3 shrimp/3 oyster combo meal). Other than missing literally 1/3 of my order, the food was decent. Service was slow, but that's to be expected on a Friday night.

    The grilled shrimp was good...not gonna lie. However, the catfish lacked any flavor. The macaroni and cheese was awful. I don't know what they served me but it wasn't macaroni and cheese. Not the place in town for fish.

    We just came here for the first time and the food and service was excellent! Everything was hot and fresh and the portions were great. Will definitely be stopping here more often when I'm in the area and recommend to others. As a bonus they had cheesecake today and it had to be one of the best Ive tried. The only thing that I would recommend is to add a baby changing table in the restroom for convenience. Thanks again! Hope they get lots more business.

    We eat here on a regular basis during our shopping day. I usually get grilled fish and shrimp. My husband fried chicken strips or grilled fish. We were so impressed with the grilled fish topped with sauteed veggies. Nice to have the choice of two sides to fit our appetite for that day. Our food is always hot and well proportioned. The staff is always very friendly and accommodating. The owner/cook does an amazing job.

    Shrimp Po Boy was really good. Staff was friendly and they got my to go order out correctly and still hot. The bread is nice and soft with a good sear on it.

    You might call it a hole in the wall because of the appearance but the food is where it shines. You will not leave hungry. The people are exceptionally nice and while they are short staffed, they will work hard to get what you need.

    Good food, quick service and friendly staff. Wish they had more business to keep them going. They need more lighting outside to draw in business. It would pay for it self in a coulle months easy.

    Out of all sodas(after selling us a small soda), out of soap and the paper towel roll left on the sink next to the dispenser, in the men’s room; and condiments left on the window sill for the customer to finish the bussing of the table. Employees screaming children left unattended and running wild.

    Good fish, shrimp and fried oysters. Red beans and rice are some of the best! The whole catfish has all its bones and not much flesh, difficult to eat. Hush puppies are seasoned and good. Customer service is lacking but they try. Overall a good place to eat seafood to go.

    Honest review time cause this town is lacking honesty in these reviews.. On 4 plates at the table fish was overcooked on all platters hushpuppies overcooked hard in the middle Chicken cooked well but bland little seasoning Shrimp was actually good both fried and grilled The lady at the counter vouched for the Mac and cheese. And we got Mac and mystery cheese soup watery Mac and cheese with a terrible cheese and 0 seasoning no salt no pepper.. needed Jesus to be actually edible those 5 star reviews are smoking sheetrock

    I was very disappointed. I ordered grilled fish, shrimp, and crab cakes. Crab cakes were dry and made with imitation crab. The fish and shrimp were smothered in fried onions and peppers. I couldn’t even taste the fish or shrimp because the onions were so strong. I didn’t get any of the sides I ordered. I ordered 2 Mac N cheese 1 coleslaw and 1 red beans. I only got 3 red beans. Definitely not worth the 60$

  • 5/5 Lisa H. 1 year ago on Google
    I love coming here. It's very warm and friendly. The food is always great and just right. I bring my friends here as much as possible. If you're looking for a nice cozy restaurant with good food this is a place to be!

    We arrived close to closing time but they let us order and seated us anyway. Staff was very polite and food was amazing. We'll be back for sure

    I go to Sam’s at least once a month I’ve never had a bad experience even when I accidentally placed the wrong order one time the owner was kind about having to fix it and refund me money which I declined. Most of the cashiers are sweet and high school kiddos but today there was a new cashier I’ve never noticed also younger but different than the other cashiers in the past neither bad but the type of cashier I needed today lol. I haven’t gone in about a month so i don’t know how new he is or if I just missed him last time anyways he was very confident about his job in a respectful way compared to the other cashiers and more friendly, not knowing I was having a bad day already because of another experience with another restaurant on my kiddos food, he started off by giving my car a compliment and then he had a couple jokes handing my food and getting me my extra condiments and it was really kind and just kind of reminded me I need to calm down about what I was upset over and it was a breath of fresh air I needed in that moment. So thank you Sam’s for another great customer service experience and great food! An extra shoutout to the kiddo at the windows today who also too my phone order keep him around!

    The fried green tomatoes are the best I've had and the fish is delicious as well! Food was cooked fresh and everyone was very friendly
