Our family has been going to Sam's for many years. We've always really enjoyed their food today. We went there after shopping and we're pleasantly surprised by the updated ambience and easy to read menu and like always we had a great burger. I believe Sam's grind their own patty the flavors better than any other burger I've ever had so we keep coming back. We've had ribs chicken potato salad, macaroni salad pretty much everything on the menu place to eat. The new bar is a very nice addition.

My favorite is the Macaroni salad. Its Steves moms original recipe. It is one of my favorite mac salads. the cole slaw and chili are good too. Bootlegger is good too and other it on garlic bread. YUM. The chicken salad is pretty darn good. When I get a dog , if sam still makes fresh dog food, I will be feeding it to my dog when its available. I love the new bar area too and the music is fun.

Sam's is one of the few BBQ restaurants that always has beef ribs, which are my favorite kind of BBQ Ribs. The portion is large (full rack (7 large ribs) $35.56 for the a-la-cart order without side dishes). The price is a bit high, but the ribs are delicious and meaty and worth it. My wife and I split the full rack of beef ribs and we had leftovers for another meal. You order and pay at the counter. When the food is ready it will be brought to your table. The decor is classic informal. There are two dining rooms. The inner room (where the ordering counter is) has an electric train going on a shelf next to the ceiling. It used to have a full train with several cars, but now it just a locomotive. We have been coming here for years and always enjoy their food!

Sam's Barbque now has a wine bar! They have a pretty wine selection and beer on tap. Also, their chicken breast & Swiss sandwich is the best. Make sure you douse it in tons of their homemade barbecue sauce, yum.

My rating is 3.5 stars rounded up to a 4. It is a family-friendly old-timey restaurant with indoor and a fully covered/enclosed patio dining areas. The employees were all friendly, and there is a cute train that runs on an elevated track near the ceiling of the restaurant. I ordered the small plate of BBQ chicken and coleslaw, which comes with garlic bread. I also ordered extra sides of chili beans and potato salad. My husband had a meal with baby back ribs, garlic bread, and chili beans. My husband said the potato salad was a bit bland. The garlic bread was okay, though not as good as it looked. The coleslaw was good. The beans were good. Unfortunately, both my chicken and my husband's baby back ribs were overcooked and dry; it was indeed a disappointment.

My family had a craving for BBQ and decided on Sam's since we hadn't been here for probably three years. I was pleasantly surprised that they updated their menu with digital monitors, which they installed about two to three months ago. AND they put in a new bar, which had been about three weeks ago. I ordered the quarter chicken and ribs combo and got chili & beans and a green salad as my two sides (28.95) I love their BBQ sauce, tangy with a tinge of spicy. The chicken was very good and smokey. The ribs were good but the outside was hard. It was a little disappointing, but, again, the flavor was good and smokey. The service was great and the cashier was very friendly. It's nice to see that they updated the place. They still have the railroad track that runs all the way around the dining area toward the ceiling, but now it's just the locomotive and no coal car, passenger cars, and caboose.

Let's start with this I NEVER EVER EAT BBQ!!!!!!!! However my man loves it so much so today I treated him I was ok with whatever I found on the menu lol So we got a combo pate with baby back ribs, barbecued pork, ribs, and brisket with macaroni salad, and a baked potato and a piece of garlic bread Our appetizer was fried zucchini with ranch dipping 2 diets cokes lol Well the food was AMAZING DELICIOUS AND FRESH I'm so shocked how good this food was I Am so glad that we came tonight... I'm turned on to bbq for sure The employees were super chill and friendly help me with the menu as it was our first time coming. The workers are on it the place was so clean and fresh the even had outside heaters love it love it.... My experience was amazing for a whopping 61$ I'm very happy with this price I will be coming back thank you Sam

Always like Sam's BBQ. I always order their Beef Ribs. Not all places have beef ribs, so I get them when I can. This place does them really well. From the looks of them it seems like they would be dry, but they are very moist and flavorful. I like the potato salad because it's not dry like a lot of other BBQ places. And for some reason I really like their Garlic Bread. The ladies working there are very friendly. And they have fountain soda, so you can get your own refills (a big plus in my book). Atmosphere is a family Mom n Pop place with decor that you would see in a family home. And there's a model train running along the ceiling which I think is pretty cool.

This is one of my absolute favorite bbq spots in the South Bay. The vibe is rustic old school and the BBQ is delicious and the folks that work there are so kind. My husband and I love a good walk up and order spot. Makes it easy when you want to eat and leave! You get your number and take a seat. Once your food is ready they bring it on over with a full bottle of bbq sauce. My go to order is the baby back ribs, coleslaw and Mac salad with a side of garlic bread. Depending on how hungry I am I do the combo chicken and ribs. Depending on the night you can enjoy some live music on the patio or an awesome special. (I just recently enjoyed a special on a full rack of ribs) They also have some great craft beers on tap for those who like to drink.
