We've had our christmas parties here a few times and came here for dinner several times. We recently discovered their salad bar open at lunch time - fantastic - with roasted chicken, smoked oysters and all homemade dressings!! Quality food. The only thing I didn't like was the coffee.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Sammy B’s, and I must say, my experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere that set the tone for a delightful evening. The customer service was truly top-notch. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, making sure our glasses were always filled and our needs were promptly met. They took the time to explain the menu with enthusiasm and offered great recommendations, showcasing their extensive knowledge of the dishes. It was clear that the staff genuinely cared about our dining experience. Now, let’s talk about the food! Each dish we ordered was a masterpiece. We started with a Caesar salad and a house salad, which both were a perfect balance of flavors with their house-made dressings. For the main course, I opted for the Wild Alaska Sam-un, perfectly cooked and served with a delightful sweet glaze that elevated the dish to new heights. My dining companion chose the Augusta Chicken, which was melt-in-your-mouth tender and full of rich flavor. Dessert was the grand finale. We shared the scrumptious homemade peach cobbler, paired with homemade vanilla ice cream. It was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. Overall, Sammy B’s exceeded our expectations with its excellent customer service and amazing food. We left feeling satisfied and eager to return. If you're looking for a place that combines a warm atmosphere with culinary delights, I highly recommend giving this restaurant a visit!

I really enjoyed my experience here. The food was great! The atmosphere was nice with the old pictures hanging all over. Our server Sommer was awesome by being friendly, answering questions about the menu, and bringing out our food in a timely fashion. They also took my reservation when I called ahead.

I wasn't sure how my parents, my daddy's service pup, two teenagers & I were going to spend our Easter. I am battling cancer, and unfortunately I was very sick for three days before Easter, forgetting it was Easter weekend. I woke up Sunday morning, praying I could find a location that could fit us in that had seating for us and would allow my daddy's Service doxie. I called two places. No answer at either.......that was until one of the two redialed my number back, saying they missed my call. His name was Dustin! The kindest, most gentle hearted sole I have ever spoken to on the phone. Without trying to go into much detail, I tried to explain my situation. Dustin stopped me and said, "Ma am, we will make room for your family. How many? What time would be best for you? You take your time. We will make Easter Sunday memorable for y'all." I hung up in tears. We made the almost hour drive to Sammy B's. My daddy is 84, my momma 80, two teenagers, Willow & I. We didn't even sit in the waiting area, there was a table ready right by the beautiful salad bar!!! We had an amazing waitress, she was so kind, smiling, always checking on us and so accommodating. I personally was so happy, they serve the best Southern Sweet Tea! Their menu is incredible!! My family all enjoyed what we ordered, to include the amazing desert choices. The atmosphere all around us, the history about the building is simply breathtaking, Dustin is the MOST AMAZING ANGEL ON EARTH, the Manager, whom I believe is the owner is the most beautiful lady, kindest, sweetest, and most gentle spirit there is!! I know for my family, we will never forget Easter 2025 at Sammy B's. They made our hearts whole, gave me reasons to smile, and helped me to remember what Easter is all about! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your kindness, your amazing food, your hospitality, the cleanliness of your restaurant, the entire staff for being so wonderful and for reminding me that during this nightmare I'm facing, there are always reasons to face our tomorrows. The Edgmon Family.

Again another fantastic place that I went to that I cannot find anything wrong with it. The food was properly prepared and was delicious the price was very reasonable the staff including the bartender and the owner were so nice to make sure that my food was prepared perfectly and hot and ready. They have a famous bartender there that they tell me that is 83 years old and still kicking on strong serving you great drinks Wednesday Thursday and Friday which I plan on going back to see this person and I suggest that you give this place a try cuz you won't be disappointed. I ordered the pork loin chops and chicken on a roll and they all were fantastic. To end the night I ordered the fudge sundae and it was cool and refreshing. If you don't like this place tell me about it and I'll pay your bill cuz that's how much I believe in this place.
