Sammies Bar-B-Q

I grew up in Riverside and ate there all the time as a kid. We took a friend back for her birthday lunch and it was still great! Reminiscent of my childhood days with my Mom.

I was excited to try this place because it was so convenient to my work. It seems to have a lot of regulars as the servers recognized and called customers by name. We ordered the Wed special - pulled pork sandwich with fries. The pork was so salty it was inedible. We canceled our to go order for a coworker. When we declined a to go box for our uneaten food, the waitress said nothing about us liking or not liking our meal & just simply brought our check.

Visiting from San Antonio was a treat, yet this food was absolutely delicious and more than a treat! The brisket was nice and smoky and oh so tender! The sausage was amazingly scrumptious! I could not get past that smokey goodness, so I had to dream about it because I didn’t bring any home! I strongly recommend this food establishment! The service was also impeccable! Our waitstaff was excellent! She did a fantastic job of making us feel comfortable and welcome. Out of 5 stars I give Sammie’s a 10!!!

WIN. Brought here by a friend of mine from The Country Network - Claimed it was some of the best barbeque in town. I can now clearly agree... the brisket was divine. I had the fatty slices and was in Heaven. Bark was flavorful, meat was moist and full of flavor behavior... sliced thicker too. I enjoyed every morsel. The grilled jalapeños were tasty as well. I'm upset they were already out of the ribs; but it was the special of the day and it they were even 1/2 as good as the brisket - I can understand why they went so quickly! Meanwhile, the staff is fun, friendly (and gorgeous). Clean and well managed. Highly recommended.

Really nice waitress. Good service. But The food is not great. The turkey is good, but the green beans were kind of cold and weird texture and flavor. The pinto beans were good, but they were also kind of cold. The peach cobbler was a mush definitely don’t recommend it.

Nice spot for meat eaters that enjoys a quiet area. They don't have any vegetarian options. Their sides are good but wouldn't suggest the onion rings. Reasonable prices for today's economy. Nice for family with kids and meeting casually for a first date. There is a bar area for beer drinkers mostly. Overall it's okay to enjoy a lunch or find a place to eat with kids on a budget. ENJOY!

Really Good Barbecue, Sliced Brisket, Hot Links, Smoked Sausage. Pinto Beans, Potatoe Salad. The service was really good and the waitress was friendly. Atmosphere was really great as well. Very welcoming place

I grew up eating at Sammie’s. It’s always been really good. It now has a new owner. The sausage, brisket and ribs are all very good. I was always a fan of the O-Rings and the chopped beef sandwich. While they are good now, they are nothing like the old Sammies. But I highly recommend eating here.
