"Everything your favorite po’boy shop does, chances are Sammy’s does it better and cheaper. The roast beef comes stuffed with garlic—you might even find a loose clove in your sandwich—and most po’boys cost around $13 for a 10-inch. Around Thanksgiving, they do a turkey sandwich with dressing (both cornbread and oyster) and cranberry sauce that tastes like pure turkey day magic in New Orleans. This is not po’boy related, but the trout amandine is only $14 and far better than the same dish you’ll find at most fancy seafood restaurants around town." - megan braden perry

"Owner and former butcher Sammy Schloegel’s insistence on quality meat has made this Gentilly shop one of the best po’ boy destinations in town — Sammy’s was previously the supplier of the sausage patty used in the beloved hot sausage po’ boy from Gene’s, closed in 2019. Choose 6” or 10”; a large Ray Ray, one of the shop’s most popular with fried chicken, ham, and cheese, will set you back $16; and fried seafood options run around $14." - Eater Staff
"Follow the work vans, taxis, and delivery trucks to Sammy’s during the busy lunch hour for the kind of rib-sticking specials that keep a body working. Served with two sides — there are 19 to choose from — there are always a few po’ boys, along with platters like barbecued brisket and seafood stuffed catfish, most under $15." - Beth D’Addono
"I try Sammy’s NOLA at Carrollton Station for Bronx-style sandwiches such as the Pizza Place, made with marinara sauce, provolone, pepperoni, and fresh basil on a bun." - Beth D’Addono
