I ordered the Family Pack 1 (with ribs) to go so I could enjoy it over a few days. Unfortunately, I overlooked dessert after reading the other reviews, so I'll definitely remember to get that next time. I selected the sides that came with the Family Pack, and the beans and coleslaw were fantastic. The staff was very friendly, and there was a new employee at the register—a young man who was just learning the ropes. He was really charming. I’ll definitely make the drive again someday; the scenery was lovely. Thank you for your hospitality, Sams!

The food is fantastic, the staff is wonderful, and the prices are very reasonable. I definitely plan to return for more of this excellent BBQ and highly recommend Sam's BBQ.

The highlight of my meal was the fried okra; it was well-cooked and very enjoyable. The potato salad, however, was rather generic and only came in a small scoop. Overall, the meal was decent, but it’s not a place I’d drive out of my way to revisit.

Now let's be fair, this is in what I call the everyday BBQ joints. We aren't comparing to Heim, Franklin or Snows. This isn't luxury BBq and it doesn't have luxury prices! We walked in and the employees were nice! They asked if we had ever been there before, gave us sampling's, and explained how the ordering worked. They even offered us the German sausage that wasn't on the menu! So... 1/2 lb German sausage, 1/2 lb moist brisket, and 1/2 lb pork ribs! They have 3 sauces: regular, spicy and regional. The brisket was dry. When I order moist (fatty) and it's dry, I just cannot help you. The ribs were okay, but nothing to write home about. The German sausage was dry while tasty, and had a hard to chew casing on it. My wife didn't eat more than 1 bite. The unchewable casing slid down my throat and choked me... I had to pull it out. The sauces were all very similar, nothing distinctive between them. Bottom line... everything was dry. It's okay if you are comfortable with average. 3 Stars is still better than much of the competition!

Really good bbq. Everything is good here. Buffet type ordering system with plenty of seating. Sam is a great guy! There's a beautiful bar as well. read more Really good bbq. Everything is good here.
