Let’s cover the good parts first. The place is clean with well arranged seating and plenty of video screens. The staff was sweet, friendly and attentive. The sweet tea is delightful and generously served. The cole slaw was nice and the green beans were delicious. The fried green tomatoes/fried pickles appetizer was crispy and tasty. The sauces are good complements to the fried food. The fried fish is not bad but very basic. The grilled fish had an odd texture, not flaky interior but more like a jellied substance which squirted when I pierced it. I think it was done; but it didn’t taste quite right. It wasn’t well seasoned either. The shrimp were…interesting: I’d never seen shrimp fried in that tubular shape. One added challenge to our experience was, though we ordered one combo dinner with the appetizer, we were served two of the combo dinners; basically doubling our bill and our order of only “okay” food. We chose to say nothing to avoid causing trouble for the staff. But hey, any restaurant can have an off night. And perhaps other items on the menu are a better choice. However, I recommend being VERY clear when placing your order.

Came in for a Door Dash order today (10•11•22) Samantha with the reddish orange auburn colored hair, very sweet and very helpful. She definitely needs a raise or at least deserves a better job where she is well respected. However, the girl with the short dark brown or blackish color hair and glasses, extremely RUDE!!! She just looked at me, no smile, she didn’t greet me, & she had an attitude when she spoke to me about the order. She is extremely rude to her other employee. She needs to be fired. Samantha was extremely helpful with all the customers, I could hear her as I was waiting on the food for at least 30 minutes. Which is unacceptable for a Door Dash order. And Samantha was doing it all alone. This was my first time in here. The rude girl said the order never got put in, which she didnt even say to me until after I had already been waiting 15 minutes. Samantha has been super busy the entire time I been here, back and forth to customers, ripping & running. Roll the cameras back if you don’t believe me.

Visited on a Sunday evening around 6:30. Not too busy. We had good service. Our table had fish, chicken and burgers. All were good but the seasoned french fries were great. While the burgers were good, and big, they were standard food service burgers so don’t expect home made. Portions were typically large. I will be back.

We were looking for something different and found Sam’s. We were really glad we did. Tried a bit of everything. Fish, Shrimp, crab cakes, hushpuppies, beans and rice, green beans, fries, fried mushrooms and pickles. The food was all delicious and the portions were large. Also, the best remoulade sauce I have had in East Texas. Really great place!

Food was ok. Service was very good. The food would be a little better if the fried food was able to drain a bit more. Lots of oil in the fried okra and catfish. I will be giving it another try sometime just to see if it was just that one visit. We did get some lemon cake which was good!

I looked up seafood restaurants in Nacogdoches. Was going to go to Baymont, but they were closed, so I went here instead.

I walked into the restaurant and was greeted right away. Very clean place and smiling people was the first thing I noticed. The manger was my waitress I found out and runs a fun crew. I ordered the special which was 2 fish (fried), 2 shrimp, and 2 sides, (red beans and rice with fries). The food took a minute to come out, which is a good thing, and it came out hot. The fish was not over breaded and the fries were crisp. The red beans and rice had a good flavor but I had to kick them up a notch with some Louisiana Hot Sauce. The only draw back to this place to me was they don’t serve beer. Other than that I had a really great late lunch at a place with friendly faces on some great people.
