I’ve tried bbq in many place but this one was excellent. The sausage was the best I’ve ever tried.

Sam’s is THE best place to stop for BBQ. I’ve been to hundreds of places all around the south and the US. Sam’s is easily in the top three places I’ve ever been to. We tried all the sides and all the meats and everything is perfect. The mac and cheese is the best I’ve ever had anywhere, though. The ribs and sauces were all very good, too! The pictures I took do not give the dishes their due justice. But to top it all off, Sam gives the most friendly, down home service that you just can’t get hardly anywhere anymore. I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone. You cannot go wrong with any of Sam’s delicious BBQ!

Very friendly service, excellent BBQ, great sides, and HUGE portions. We got the 2 meat + 2 sides plate and it was big! We had sausage (three links + grilled onions + three hot dog buns), ribs (3 or 4 huge bones + two slices of bread), mac & cheese, and baked beans (with ground meat mixed in). It was more than two hungry travelers could share!

My first time (have been eyeing it for a while on Local Eats) finally got a free minute to stop by. Ribs excellent, no accident there: alot of work goes into them obviously. Can’t wait to get back into town to give them another go, perhaps the BBQ chicken next time! Thank you guys, excellent meal (well… two actually, would never eat it all in one sitting! ) Cheers!

We randomly found this place on Google driving through GA to FL. When we told Sam we hadn’t been here before, he loaded us up with a massive sampler of all his different meats (ribs, pulled pork, sausage, and chicken) and his sides (potato salad, coleslaw, Mac n cheese, and baked beans). His service was amazing and the food was incredible. We are definitely stopping by again on the drive back!

Best BBQ ever!!! I smelled the food from across the street. I asked Sam what’s good. He gave me a sample of everything! Ribs, pulled pork, chicken wings, mac & cheese, pork & beans, potato salad and cole slaw. Everything is awesome, but I recommend asking for the sauces on the side. Sam says he doesn’t advertise, so pass the word along. This place is a gem!

We can’t recommend Sam’s high enough. Food is smoked to perfection w pecan wood out front. We had ribs, sausage, pulled pork, chicken, mac and cheese, pickle slaw, beans and potato salad…which was a “sampler” from Sam himself! Sauce was outstanding not too sweet. Sam’s is the real deal and to visit with himself makes it even better! Best bar b que we had in the south.

This place in an institution and I can see why. It’s got a down home family vibe about it and serves quality food East for reasonable prices. I gotta say the chicken was a bit salty and the skin was gummy and the beans were so so. The real star here is the ribs. The ribs must be what ole Sam used to win all them trophy’s on the wall. They have a perfect texture and taste and leave you wanting more. Bring your cash as cards are not needed or welcome..that’s how you know it’s real deal.

I am a truck driver that was loading across the street smelling this all day. From the friendly and welcoming greeting to the excellent food made for an awesome experience. It will be well worth the slight detour from the interstate in the future to visit again.

Good like your Uncle Leroy’s barbeque . Ribs have a good smoked & grilled taste. I’m not a fan of smothering meat in sauce, but it’s decent. Potato salad, baked beans, sauce were good just a little sweet. My wife LOVED IT!!! Mr. Watts is a very nice owner. I really enjoyed talking with him. By the way, that’s a RIB SANDWICH!!! I only wish I could have the ribs with sauce on the side….so I can REALLY judge the barbeque. I will request it next visit.
