    The experience dining at Sammy's fish box was over the chain. We celebrated our friend's birthday and from the start the staff made him feel special. This is the place where my wife and I dine frequently. Already our friends are talking about going back for other celebrations.

    We always enjoy Sammy’s, the food is always delicious. The only thing we find annoying is we always feel rushed, I know they’re busy and need to turn the tables over but slow down. Let the customer enjoy the experience of the food, we usually go on a weekday evenings to avoid the crowds and the rush. Bringing appetizers and 2 minutes later the entrees feels like hurry up and eat. Overall an enjoyable experience, food is consistently awesome.

    Went out with family to celebrate my Birthday. Service was subpar for the amount of staff walking around. Our waiter would make guest appearances. We would see him and them what seemed like hours he would reappear. We were missing a salad, a bowl to put our shells( snow crab legs and lobster) We had to request wipes for our hands!!!! Our bill was way over $600, I expected and was disappointed with the service we received that day. Our food was great. Everyone was pleased with their meal except my daughter. Her snow crab legs were MEATLESS! We encouraged her to inform the staff but she declined.
