First visit 2/10/19: Sam’s Southern Eatery is a chain of fast-food, sit-down type restaurants that serves burgers, po’ boys, chicken strips, buffalo wings, seafood (fried and grilled), and seafood and chicken salads. They get in seafood every other day (I asked), so it should be fresh. The fish, shrimp & oyster combo platter I had was very good. I was amazed at the size of the oysters and they tasted out of this world. I wasn’t fond of the green beans or the red beans and rice; too bad they didn’t offer a small salad as one of their side options. The kids loved their burger, grilled cheese sandwich, and fries. My 3 Fish, 3 Shrimp, and 3 Oysters was $13.99, the kid Grilled Cheese was $5.99, and the Southern Double Burger with Cheese was $8.49 ($7.99 + .50 for cheese). I was charged $2.49 for a large tea, but the kids drinks were free this visit (one had water and the 5-year-old had Sprite). The total cost, including tax, was $33.75. Obviously, if you don’t get seafood, your tab will be cheaper, but if you can afford it, the seafood is definitely worth the price. Add great customer service and you have a winning combination.
Update: I returned on 3/14/19, expecting the same level of service, but found it to be lacking. The fried oysters, which were so great on my first visit, were terrible. It took almost 30 minutes for our order to be filled and the restaurant wasn’t even busy. We will not be back.

This place was decent at first, but has went down hill very quickly. We have been here a few times in the past but most likely will not be back. The place is hot, humid, and disgusting, tables are dirty, trash lying around in the floors and under tables. Flies buzzing around all over the place, service was slow, food took forever to get and when it finally arrived it was cold. Who wants to eat cold fried shrimp and trying to fight the flies for first bite?

I don’t normally give places 5 stars; however, this one truly deserves it!
We had the fried pickles and fried onions for appetizers. My wife had the Philly Cheesesteak with fries, and I had the Patty Melt with fries (pictured with the appetizers).
You will LOVE the fried pickles and onions!!! And the two main dishes…OMG. The Philly was phenomenal along with the Melt. If you ever visit OKC, please, please come by this place!

Very good home style fried Southern food. Catfish, okra an tomatoes all fried and delishous. Red beans and rice are outstanding. Place itself simple and unassuming.

the best catfish in town! Love this place. My husband loves the fish tacos. I eat there pretty regularly. The staff are so sweet and helpful. The food is always cooked to perfection and always made right. Everything that my family and I have eaten there is always delicious…….but my favorite is still the catfish! I highly recommend!

We will most definitely come here again. It is a laid back, casual atmosphere. The gal serving us was friendly and personable, while being efficient and doing a great job. We split a plate of 3 fish, 3 shrimp, and 3 chicken with two sides. The fries were crisp but not overcooked and well seasoned, the beans and rice had good flavor. The fish were good sized, bigger than cracker barrel, and better. The shrimp were long and thick, bout as long as a middle finger and a bit thicker. My wife liked the chicken. We had enough food to take home with us. Great place to eat for a good price.

We had lunch here today and were pleased overall. I had the fried shrimp PoBoy and it was very good. My husband had fried gizzards and he said they were okay, but the breading didn’t have much flavor. Service was great, it was clean. Prices were fair. Would eat here again!

The food is ok. Shrimp is great. But, they are always short-staffed. Last time I visited (I was giving them another chance) they served me undercooked food. When I sent it back and asked the server if I could get something else instead she said yes. But, when the ticket arrived I was charged for both. I complained about it to the cashier and she wouldn’t change it. I had only eaten one bite of the other food. I do not recommend. Also, their fried green tomatoes are horrible
