Sam's BBQ-1 East

Wife recommended the restaurant because she had the mac&cheese years prior. Always down to try a new BBQ spot… I ordered the pulled pork plate with collards and the redneck lasagna (Brunswick stew with Mac and cheese in it). The pulled pork tasted like it was microwaved. A very mushy texture. The collards tasted like collards, enjoy mine with some hot sauce. Finally the redneck lasagna was interesting, had a good flavor, but nothing I would say, wow, I have to go back to get more. Service is more like serve yourself, but that’s fine by me. My son had the chicken tenders and there was more breading on them than there was chicken. Not the worst BBQ, but I won’t be needing to stop in again.

service was good, the restaurant was nice and clean. The food was ok, i was expecting better seeing they say they have won all those awards. The brisket was kind of dry but was tender. Ribs were overdone and the sides were very generic. its worth trying again to see if i was there on an off day.

We are from New York and wanted some southern BBQ. This place was awesome the food was off the chain. I recommend any of the sides and the pulled pork. The BBQ sauce was very peppery but was soooo good. Recommend this place to anyone looking for some good food

Stopped by after a hike and it really hit the spot! The pulled pork was great. Tender, great flavor. Loved the BBQ sauces they have. The fried okra was probably the best I've had so far anywhere. I will definitely return.

This is the third time I’ve ordered sides that were terrible! They are expensive as well. The Macaroni and cheese had to be days old. The green beans were mushy and tasted like BBQ sauce. Very disappointed.

If the pictures of the food look good online, normally it is. And in this case, this theory holds true. Sam is the man! Some how I just knew it was about to be good as I was walking in. I had a good feeling about. The ribs were great; brisket, great; collards, very good; even the potato salad was delicious and that's an anomaly outside of my own kitchen:) The sauces were all fantastic! Thanks for letting me try them all!👍

Traveling and a friend recommended this place. Food was delicious and plenty of it. Had the smoked chicken salad as a side. It was not lacking for meat which is a good thing but it was a little too salty for me. Definitely will return if I am back in the area.

After riding past a few times, decided to give Sam's a shot and was pleasantly surprised. Every meat from Sausage, Pork, Chicken, Brisket and Turkey was juicy and delicious which is hard enough to pull off and do well for 1. A sleeper amongst sides was the Mac and Cheese. Was not expecting the extra creaminess that it had along with big noodles. Pictured is the Sweet and Spicy Wings, Wet Brisket, Sampler Platter with Potato Salad, Collards and Mac & Cheese.

Received a recommendation from a friend to try this place. I was not disappointed! It was in a plaza with ample parking. When you come in you arrive at the register to place your order. There are tables where you can dine in but I placed my order to go. I ordered a 2 meat combo and chose brisket and ribs with potato salad and baked beans as my sides. The potato salad was so creamy and tasty. The baked beans were flavorful as well. The brisket and ribs were delicious. The brisket was well seasoned and very tender. I didn't need sauce for it but the sauce that came with it made it taste even better. The ribs were tender and very tasty as well. I truly enjoyed my meal!

We have enjoyed Sam's many time in the past, though sorry to report that the quality and cleanliness is slipping. Today's food was just so-so... collards were not well seasoned, the green beans were full of strings and stems, the portions were smaller... all in all mediocre when this used to be top notch barbecue. Cleanliness is also slipping and the help does not appear to have any interest in cleaning tables, etc. We sincerely hope this review helps them get bay their mojo as this was once top notch!

Used to be a great place must have changed ownership!!! Food was horrible...Brisket was dry and tasted like dry paper no smoked flavor at all...sauces tasted liked watered down dish water The ambiance was old worn out and not inviting The service was as bad as I have seen in any restaurant...staff looked unkempt and were lazy Will never go there again

I love this place the food the staff and the owner. The food is authentic and delicious . I woke nearby and eat there 2-4 days out of the week. Ribs are my favorite.

Best mac & cheese in town! I order it for every holiday meal and big events for my kids!

My favorite BBQ place in the area!! The interior is comfy, the servers are kind, and the food is to die for. I especially love their mac n cheese

too much competition to keep people on hold for 5 minutes. Only called because the site they use for ordering is poor. You can't see all the pick up times... and over half the non-meat items are "out of stock". I live within a mile, but will drive to City BBQ... it's probably worth the drive anyway.

Food is still good. Half chicken and Brunswick stew are still my favorites, but the employee at the cash register, who seems to be the only employee in the entire restaurant, is one of the rudest and most unpleasant people I've encountered. Not sure who he is, just an employee or the manager, but I honestly can't believe he's even allowed to work there and engage with customers.

Excellent barbecue. I got the ribs and they were delicious. The sauce is perfect. I also got the Mac and cheese, Brunswick stew and collard greens, which were all homemade and very good. Give them a try.

E X P E R I E N C E Store looks about the same. Walked in to order take out. I ordered in the am and when went to pick up, food was piping hot and ready. Employee was short with me. Didn't say much. Prompt to bring me the order. He was not wearing mask so I practically threw my cc at him lol I didn't see any hand sanitizer. F O O D 1 lb pulled pork 1 lb brisket Full slab ribs Fried Pickles 7" pan of mac 12 corn muffins The ribs and brisket were really good this time and the pulled pork was dry. The pickles were extremely salty- just absolutely terrible. I'm all about the mac and sam's bbq1 mac is the fking best. Always made perfectly. Cheesy, flavorful. Amazing. The corn muffins, always amazing as well. Made perfectly. It's fluffy and breaks apart beautifully. I've noticed that on good days, this restaurant provides bomb food, and on other days, the food is mediocre at best. I'm not sure if there are a few chef's working or what, but the consistency of producing high quality food is not there. A shame bc this inconsistency is clear, the past few times we've been here.

Great BBQ place in East Cobb! Went with several friends after hiking at Gold Branch down the street, and everybody was happy with their lunch. My order was beef brisket sandwich with mac and cheese side and soft drink (see picture), which was the $10 special. Sandwich was huge and saved half for later. Mac and cheese is perfection here! Others had pulled pork plate, pulled pork sandwich, baked beans, cole slaw; which they enjoyed. Ordering is simple, walk in, order at the cashier, get a number, pay, and wait for your number to be called. Soft drinks are self serve. Sam's BBQ1 wins lots of competitions and is featured in best BBQ in the Atlanta area. Nice inside, but currently am only eating outdoors. They have a small patio area, but it was closed. So we grabbed our collapsible chairs out of the trunk and sat along the side of the building to eat. This review is during COVID. The cashier had mask on and was friendly. Did not notice any hand sanitizer, but always carry one myself.

Brisket was really bad-- like it had been boiled or steamed. No sign of smoke or seasoning- just limp, bland, and wet/mushy meat. It was more like boiled corned beef.

Best pork sandwich and best brisket sandwiches! Love their ribs and for some reason they are really good at fries. I could write a song about how good the mac n cheese is.

My fiancé had a craving for some burnt ends last Friday evening, but we couldn't find a place near us offering any and that would also do curbside. We remembered the great experience we had at Dave Poe's a year ago and decided to give them another try, even though it's out of the way for us. Since we discovered Dave Poe's also has shorter hours now due to COVID, we chose to try their sister location here at Sam's which we knew would still be open. We didn't see any burnt ends on the menu, but my love settled for brisket instead and I ordered for us through GrubHub. We didn't have any issues ordering online thankfully, but I did notice the mac and cheese and certain items are listed as "dine-in" options. I'm not sure why that is and why macaroni is not listed also in the takeout section, but for that reason unfortunately I didn't get any this time just to avoid confusion. We got potato salad and baked beans in pints as the sides with extra sauce separately for the meat. When we pulled up to the restaurant the parking lot was dead. We called the restaurant, but no one picked up, so unfortunately we couldn't fulfill our desire to get curbside delivery. After a few minutes, my fiancé went in to grab our order. He said no one was there except the cook and one front counter worker that he could see - no other customers, so at least there was no real COVID exposure risk (if anyone was wondering). The food was great - just as good as we remember it from Dave Poe's location across town. Everything had great flavor and was cooked just right. I have a preference for their potato salad, and I think it's one of my favorites in the area so far. Some places make it to mustard-y or too watery or chunky, but this place seems to slice the potatoes instead of cube and use just the right amount of egg, mayo, and seasonings for my taste. Overall, I would definitely order from here or Dave Poe's again. They haven't disappointed yet. I'll have to try Community Q next in Decatur to see if it holds up to these two sister locations.

amazing brisket. I was a bit skeptical because of the run down look of this place. It was Saturday night and we were the only customers! Lady taking our order don't play. Either she didn't want to be there, or she just doesn't give a shit about greeting customers. we stood there looking at the menu, then looked at her at the register waiting for some kind of acknowledgment. I purposely waited to speak until she finally said, "hi you ready? whatever.... guess she was having a bad night. Now, the food was the star of the show. our brisket orders came out hot and very tasty. The sides were delicious as well. They have many trophies, accolades, ribbons, and best bbq magazine covers adorning the walls of this place. We can honestly say they are very well deserved. The meats are outstanding and their sides are fresh, hot, and seasoned to perfection. we will definitely be back.

The only thing saltier than the Brunswick stew is the guy at the register. But the b stew is fantastic as is everything else, so I find myself making that trade pretty consistently.

Tasty and nicely moist ribs are delicious- we ordered a full rack which was meaty and tender. As a side, we had the coleslaw, which We recommend as well.

I don't even like bbq.. I got dragged here by my friend. They're the best damn bbq place I've ever been to. They're brisket is so tender and juicy. Let me tell you they have the BEST sides. Every single one of the sides I picked were amazing. GET THE MAC AND CHEESE!! I got greens, the lasagna, Mac and cheese, and some fried okra. They were all so good. My friend got the brisket so I tried some and it was bomb. They give you a choice or bread or corn muffin and the toast was good too. A little better than zaxbys toast.

Sam retired. This place shows it. All Sam's awards on the wall are deceptive advertising. On a Thurs at dinner, pulled pork was mushy as canned cat food; brisket at room temperature. Asked for more, heated, and was brought more, steamed and wet. The sullen employee said, "Can't do nuthin about the pork." I guess offering another product never crossed his mind. Never again at what was once one of the best.

Do not order through Yelp! I used this Yelp app for take out. This photo is my $14.15 rib plate. No sides, no muffin or toast. I even had to ask for sauce which spilled out of the container, out of the bag and into the car. I asked why there was no drop down menu for sides. At the restaurant, they said it usually comes with sides, but I didn't list any so they didn't give me any. There was no way to list any. They compromised by giving me about 1/2 portion of green beans. I actually ordered two additional sides. They are $4.00 each instead of $2.69 as listed in restaurant. I called Yelp/Grub Hub and they said it doesn't come with sides, just opposite of what I was told in restaurant. Nobody agrees to an error or a credit. Just a warning.

Some of the best pulled pork we've ever had. The fried okra and Mac n cheese are incredible. Excellent corn muffins. This is great to go food. I don't care for their sauce. This is Not a place to enjoy your meal. Gruff and basic, and oh so old school. If they took this food and had a place with some character it would be a smash hit.

Stopping in after a 9 mile run in Roswell. Craving for some good brisket and banana pudding! Got here on a Saturday afternoon at 2pm. Plenty of seating available and it's more of a quick serve restaurant with dine in and take out options. Three meat platter (2 brisket - wet and dry burnt ends and sausage)with baked beans, mac n cheese, and southern lasagna. Loved the wet brisket, just wish it was cut in strips and not in cubes. Enjoyed both of the sauce options (Kansas city tomato based and N Carolina vinegar based). Baked beans were delicious !! Macaroni and cheese was not my favorite, but seems to be very popular. Sausage was great!! I was quite disappointed with the banana pudding. There were no real bananas and the pudding seemed artificial with Nilla crackers and had a lingering aftertaste. If I come back, it'll be for the wet brisket, sausage, and delicious baked beans!

This is only slightly better than a Shane's Rib Shack in my honest opinion. Collard greens were way out there on the vinegar scale. The mac n cheese LOOKS great but tastes very run-of-the-mill. Almost like someone is blindly following the recipe and not tasting along the way. Ribs were not falling off the bone and what little tenderness was there had to fight with bark and an unpleasant char. This was a wild MISS and due the location not only can I not really recommend - but I doubt I'll even be returning for a second chance. Fairly priced, tedious BBQ experience

10/10 literally the best BBQ I had in awhile ! Customer service TOP TIER !!! Definitely will be back! Giant beef rib was also exceptional. Oh and the Mac it looks weird but is the BOMBBB !!!!! 10/10 !!

Seven of us came in and shared a bunch of plates. Brisket on the bone was very tender and tasty and no issues eating it with plastic utensils. I personally did not need extra sauce so I didn't use the 2 choices on the table, one tomatoey and one vinegary. We also had burnt ends brisket, chicken, fried okra, Mac n cheese, green beans(I loved), tater tots, cole slaw, corn bread, Texas toast(disappointing), and baked beans. All basic bbq fare that I would not turn away. An older gentleman working there, not sure who he was, was a sweetheart and brought the kids mini moon pies. Then he returned a few moments later with really delicious fried, crispy and loud pork rinds with a hot sauce he recommended. My table mates did not think it was hot. The large bowlful was gone in no time! Thank you sir. The place is super casual. You order at the counter and a few minutes later the food is brought to your table. Staff was friendly and helpful in ordering.

Brisket- eat the lean strips with the fatty marbled pieces and you may forget why go elsewhere for brisket. Dunk it in the thin sauce for a vinegar flavor. Mac and cheese is addicting. Pasta is soft and cheese is runny. One side is not enough. Even green beans are flavorful.. Corn bread has the perfect amount of sweetness. Parking is plentiful. Service is prompt.

This is exactly what the name suggests; good, non-complicated BBQ venue focusing on essential. Plastic silverwear is more than adequate to work on such a juicy and tender brisket I was given. Friendly cashier commented this one is probably the best they have at the moment while the ribs would be ready after an hour or so. It's just perfect as I will visit here some other day to enjoy the latter, too. This brisket plate with two sides, taken they are cucumber salad and cole slaw, works nicely even for low-carb people, and I did not need too much sauces (two options available, sweet Kansas City and less sweet North Carolina) as the original meat was so delicious as such. There is a small-scale buffet on weekends, too, but without the above mentioned meats.

Sam's is arguably the BEST bbq in Marietta! It never fails to disappoint me! The ribs are always succulent & tender. The okra always crispy & leaves me wanting more. That Mac & cheese though?!? TO DIE FOR! I always regret not ordering more to take home with me! You order at the counter & they bring it to you! Sundays are a bit crowded so aim for a weekday if possible! The staff are always friendly & helpful as well! They offer two different types of BBQ sauce, but that Kansas City one wins hands down for me! It's lap your mama good! I usually get a big glass of lemonade with mine! Guaranteed to make you coming back for more!

Very small sides and everything tasted greasy and old, like it was cooked yesterday and warmed up. Not like it was 2 years ago.

Great BBQ Lunch carry out for the UGA game with our family. Ribs, Brisket, Pulled Pork and a big yummy pan of Macaroni with CHEESE!!!!!! They are as great as ever!

Doesn't taste at all as good as Dave Poe's. Service was also a lot slower despite the store being practically empty

Good bbq. Pork was a little dry but the original sauce is great with a good tang to it! Baked beans and Mac and cheese are on point!

I can only speak of this place from a take-out perspective as we have never been there to eat. I was in a bind with some folks coming into town at the last minute and I figured they would enjoy some Southern BBQ. So I ordered from here. We got two plates The good stuff on the plate. The sausage, the chicken, the ribs were are really tasty. I could have had more of that sausage and ribs! The fail on the plate was the brisket. It was dry and tough, super overdone. Each plate came with two sides which were TINY. I hadn't ordered more sides because I figured it would be enough but each side is barely enough for one person, let alone two or three. They really need to work on their side portions. The price was OK all things considered especially because of the amount of BBQ that it was. But I would have given it one more star if they could do better with their sides and if the brisket had been up to the same level as the rest of the meats.

Poor Sam. He seems unhealthy these days even with his corny sense of humor intact. He must have a sense of humor as his restaurant appears to be falling apart with unfilled salt containers on the dirty, worn tables. The BBQ pork sandwich was cold, the fries were far from fresh and the Mac and cheese soaked in a pool of rank butter. The old coke machine failed to produce only flat Diet Coke. We asked the cashier with the Mickey mouse eared hair style and 9 inch nails (seriously gross for her to be the first person to encounter and a health hazard to her and the patrons who have to look at them) to fix the carbonation and she said she had to ask someone else who did nothing about it. We asked Sam what was wrong with the uncarbonated Diet Coke and he said some people have more sensitive tastes than others and he could not tell! Maybe if he trimmed his nose hairs he would have been able to. If this place place gets four stars, than the Cobb health department is not doing their job.

This place will make you feel proud to be a Georgian. From the personal banter at the check out down to the delicious green bean juice, this place has figured it out. Personal favorite is the brisket sandwich. Anytime I can sneak out for a lunch, this is the go to.

Place has taken a huge step the wrong direction. Was my favorite place for bbq at one time and then Sam retired. Was in at 11 for an early lunch ordered brisket with greens and macaroni. Brisket was cold, sides were ok and corn muffin was also cold. Brisket was greasy and tasted old. Cutting corners puts bbq places out of business. What a let down. This is the second time in six months they have let me down. Get it together.

When I came to Atlanta some eighteen years ago, the go-to BBQ places I knew about and tried were Daddy D'z, Harold's, Swallow at the Hollow and Sam & Dave's. Fat Matt's, too. Maybe some others I've forgotten. Fox Bros hadn't hit the scene yet. Good to see Sam still kicking it out. Arriving just after 11 to a completely empty restaurant, I ordered the rib plate with beans and mac n cheese. - Ribs: seven bones, super tender, well sauced. Fall off the bone is taken seriously here, maybe a bit too far. I couldn't separate the bones without all the meat coming off. The bones looked like a pack of piranhas had at them, they were so clean. Still, some tasty ribs. Didn't need extra sauce. - Beans: not my style. Too much molasses? - Mac n cheese: Came out pretty dry, like it had been sitting a while. Also not my style. Super quiet in here. Morgue BBQ. After a while, the guy turned on the TV and a few other customers quietly moseyed in. Tons of parking.

I ate at Sam's BBQ1 years ago when it used to be known as Sam and Dave's BBQ1. It also used to only be a takeout joint, but now they've opened a dine-in space two doors down from the previous and still existing space. This was a much needed addition as I'm sure many customers were occasionally deterred by the takeout-only option. While Sam stayed here, the other two Daves (there was a Sam, Dave, and Dave) opened their own restaurants. One Dave opened Dave Poe's BBQ across town while the other Dave opened up Community Q in Decatur. Both have dine-in seating, so perhaps Sam opened up his dine-in space as a response. Unless you live in the area, BBQ1 is not easy to get to from any of Atlanta's major highways. It's too bad for the many Atlantans who don't live or work up this way because BBQ1 is pretty good. Out of all the BBQ joints I've eaten at, I've never seen so many trophies proudly displayed inside one restaurant. At a recent Friday lunch, Sam was ringing up customer after customer by himself. The space inside the dining area is comparable to Dave Poe's BBQ, maybe a bit bigger. It consists of a combination of booth, table, and bar-style seating along the windows. This is one of those restaurants where you stand in line, place your order, and take a number. The servers bring your food out to you. You grab your own drinks (fountain drinks), silverware, napkins, and BBQ sauce. This place fills up fast and seating can get tight. You can tell they tried to fit as many seats inside this space as comfortably as possible. Sam offers two kinds of BBQ sauce for you: KC-style (tomato-based) and NC-style (vinegar-based). It's nice that this restaurant offers North Carolina-style BBQ sauce as I haven't found too many places in Atlanta that offer it (Heirloom Market is one of the other ones). The menu offers traditional BBQ favorites including pulled pork, brisket, chicken, sausage, and ribs. Sides include Southern staples such as Brunswick stew, mac and cheese, fried okra, green beans, slaw, etc. With the BBQ, you can order sandwiches or plates. The plates come with two sides and in two sizes: "lunch" and "dinner." The lunch portions are smaller and less expensive (lunch plate is $8.95 and dinner is $11.95). The food comes out surprisingly fast. Items I've tried include the beef brisket, cole slaw, baked beans, mac and cheese, fried okra, fried pickles. My favorite item to get at almost any BBQ restaurant is pulled pork or beef brisket. I almost always get the brisket here because it's very good. It's sliced into small pieces and tender with a good smoky flavor. Their mac and cheese is among the best. Large noodles, very cheesy, though sometimes a bit greasy. That's what helps make it good, though. The slaw is comparable to intown rival Williamson Bros. because of its muted, not-as-sour taste. The texture is completely different, however. The fried pickles are lightly battered and salty. They are not served with any type of dressing or dipping sauce. Sam also offers rum cakes, which are quite delectable. Soft, moist, and melt-in-your-mouth good. Try one - they're located next to the cash registers. So, kudos to Sam for opening a dine-in space. Now he just needs to move closer to town!

A lack of sauces and relatively benign flavors are the only issue with well cooked meats served in generous portions. Maybe a little more scientific than my usual one liner, but that sums it up. Got a 3 meat plate with a half chicken, pork, sausage, and potato salad and Redneck Lasagna. The "Lasagna", which is Mac and Cheese and Brunswick stew, is hilarious and tasty. It's tasty, and pretty funny. Absolutely no complaints. Also the potato salad is slightly mustardy with large chunks of egg. It's served at room temperature though, which is a bad decision. I do have concerns about that, but if they chilled it it'd be great. As is, it's still good. The chicken was probably the star of the three meats. Tender, juicy, excellently cooked. It's half a damn chicken, what are you going to complain about? The pork as well, is excellently done. It's pulled, but even if it wasn't, you wouldn't bother with a knife to cut that. The sausage is a little more generic, and mine was a little soft, but it's sausage... so it's not a huge deal. The real issue is that the meats are all relatively unseasoned. I assume it's so you can season it your way, but they only offer a tomato based, sweet Kansas City style sauce, and a very thin, vinegary, Carolina based sauce. Neither are very good, and neither really help to add another layer to the meat. Mixing those along with the cajun hot sauce made something vaguely interesting, but it still wasn't ideal. The interior of the place is extremely dingy, with a large hole in the ceiling. It looks like something out of the 1970's. But if you take the well done meat and sides home, then use your own barbecue sauces, then I can absolutely see this as an easy 5 star. As is? It's still good, but it does fall a bit short. I was told to come here as one of the best offerings in Atlanta and while it's tasty, if this is the best Atlanta has to offer... that's a touch disappointing.

This is my fav BBQ place between the two I've been to in East Cobb. Good variety. Delicious food. My 15 mo old daughter loves the food - which helps bc sometimes she is super picky. I love they have salads for the health conscious and my fav side is their cucumbers and tomatoes in vinegar.

My wife and I took our son to Sam's. The last time he was in town. He chose a half slab of ribs with redneck lasagna and okra, while my wife and I shared a full rack with Mac &a cheese and okra. It was outstanding, as always. I have been eating here since their third week of operation around fourteen years ago. I have never been disappointed in my food. It is fresh, tender, flavorful. I have occasionally been half way through my sandwich before remembering that I hadn't yet added any BBQ sauce. It is that good - with or without sauce.

I am a bit picky when it comes to bbq; and I have a right to be after owning Phil's bbq down in a Eufaula, Al. Sam's was recommended by a client. I was not impressed by the pork because it had no flavor. It didn't even taste like it had a rub or anything. It really didn't have much of a smoke flavor . The sauces all are sweet. They only have 2 choices. Now the Brunswick stew was spot on. The corn muffin was tasty as well. Oh and the Mac and cheese was good. The place was very clean. The bathrooms were clean. The employees were nice and helpful. I'm going with 3 starts because of the lack of Taste on the meet and lack of choices in sauce. I mean you are in the South; therefore we need a sauce with little to no sugar and a mustard base.

This place was great! I had the brisket combo for lunch and cones with 2 sides and bread. I opted for the texas toast. At first, I was disappointed on the size of my plate in but it was full of flavor. I went with the brisket and it was soft and tender. Mac and cheese tasted like your grandma made them. The Okra.... Wow. Best okra ever... seriously not to say that the barbecue was not good but the okra was perfectly fried and it was crispy and every bite. I thought I would be hungry but surprisingly I walked out full. This place is definitely worth coming back to you and I'm definitely looking forward to trying the other menu options and plates.

Nice people, great food. Being able to put order in online would be nice and I miss the old green bean recipe as well. I love that their menu has GF things noted and I appreciate the curbside / covid safe options. They will bring the food to your trunk if you call and ask! Thanks.

I've been here twice and both times food here it's been very underwhelming. If you want gas station bbq this is your spot.

Food was cold and not good at all. Bar b q sauce tasted like it was from a bottle not homemade. Restaurant was very dirty. Service was poor as well. Very rude and put out that we were even there.

Been eating here for 12 years or so and I've never had anything I didn't enjoy. Menu is diverse and reasonably priced. The redneck lasagna (Mac plus Brunswick stew is absolutely phenomenal). The best thing for dinner is to get a rack of ribs platter with two sides to go and split it with someone which is more than enough! Don't change a thing BBQ1

Love Sam's. Just don't order via Grub Hub as they mark up items 20-30% above actual cost.

We probably eat her once or twice a month and have noticed that the quality of food has gone down significantly. I did an order for Father's Day- 2lbs pork, which was so dry there is no way you could eat with without sauce, 1/2 pound of chicken, we got 6oz. When I opened the container it looked like small so I weighed it. All of the pints of sides were at best 2/3 filled up. In the past they were filled to the rim and you could tell the lids were practically smashed on. Slowly the quality and quantity have gone down hill the past several months. Hopefully, things improve. Doubt we will go back soon.

Extremely disappointed in sams BBQ. Let me start by saying my family has gone here since they opened. We (used) to love Sam's. So much so, that my fiancé and I decided we would have sams cater our wedding. 10 months prior to the wedding, We spoke with the general manager at Sam's and received a quote at that time for $1,800. We were told we didn't need to sign A contract, that he blocked out that date on their catering calendar, and all we needed to do was let him know a final number of guests roughly 30 days out. We are now less than 30 days out from our wedding. We asked for the final Invoice, and to our surprise, the invoice had changed by roughly $2,000. When we contacted the GM to discuss the change, he blamed it on the owner writing the initial quote, even though he (the GM) was the one who wrote the initial quote. He then said that due to market cost increase, the quote had to be increased. We took their initial quote, went to multiple comparable bbq restaurants, and all said that the market hasn't increased by that amount, and the increase was absurd. We were being over charged. We are now less than 30 days out from our wedding having to scramble to find a new caterer because we trusted sams BBQ to honor close to their original quote. We understand that market costs change, especially in the pandemic. If the cost has risen a couple hundred dollars, which is what most other restaurants told us, we would totally understand. My family will never eat at sams again. What a shame that this restaurant has gone downhill like this.
