Sam's Southern Eatery - Evansville

Delicious homestyle cuisine offered at reasonable prices with generous portions. Our server was on his first day, and he performed exceptionally well—very attentive and courteous. Overall, this was a fantastic first experience at Sam's, and I can’t wait to return for more!

The fried catfish filets are absolutely delicious! The fried okra is very tasty, and the fried green tomatoes are also good. However, I'm not a fan of the onion rings. The coleslaw is mayo-based and quite tasty as well. The fried chicken livers are outstanding! The jumbo fried shrimp truly live up to their name. Unfortunately, the ambiance leaves something to be desired.

The waitress/hostess was incredibly pleasant, which made for an interesting visit. However, I believe in the saying, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." While the service was great, unfortunately, the rest of the experience did not live up to expectations. Trust your instincts from the moment you arrive. After over two hours, we ended up heading to McDonald's for a meal instead.

They were open on Christmas Day, and we decided to have dinner there. It was fantastic! The customer service was some of the best we've ever experienced at a restaurant. The food was delicious, and the portions were generous! We will definitely be returning!

Jackie is fantastic! The catfish and fried green tomatoes are absolutely the best! Kid-friendly: Jackie is incredibly kind and provides top-notch service!
