Sammy's Grill

Today, I picked up a to go order at the Prairieville location. I know seafood is expensive, but I just paid a total of $48 for a small thin fried catfish, which only contained one piece of fish, no hush puppies, a large crawfish salad, which was mostly salad, and a bowl of gumbo which contained 3 pieces of seafood (2 shrimp, 1 piece of crab) and a condiment size serving of rice. There wasn't even enough rice to eat the mostly gravy of the gumbo. This is unbelievable! We get food to go pretty often, but will definitely not go here again, especially with On The Half Shell down the street. I wanted to give this new location a try. I did, and will not again.

Went to Sammy's the other night, I forgot to take pictures. But I liked the rustic atmosphere. There weren't any tables available for at least 20 minutes but we were offered to sit in the bar if we didn't want to wait. That was not an issue for us, so we sat at a hightop in the bar. They were short staffed and the bartender apologized for that, although I didn't notice that service was that slow. I had the bbq shrimp and it was fantastic!!! I wish it was a larger bowl with a whole loaf of bread to soak up that amazing broth!

Best hand cut, crunchy battered, bigger than average fried cheese. The marinara tastes like they make it too. Not the jar stuff other places serve. I love the pickup side entry to avoid walking through the dining room. If it's not busy, pickup is at the bar. I've always loved the cozy bar side of the highland rd and used to go for lunch specials. I'm excited to now live a few minutes from this new location which also has a cozy, charming cottage vibe but I like the bar to order food when dining alone. Thank you Sammy's!!

The staff are great. We stopped in for quick bite on a mid week night. The sweet tea is amazing and food is hot and fresh. Two of group had crawfish- seasoned well. The rest had fried shrimp and Bayou Burger - both very tasty. This location has the feel of being on the bayou while being street side.

Wife and I ordered a hamburger steak plate that comes with a side salad. Alligator bites and a cup of gumbo. When the waitress brought out food I asked about my salad. She said. Oh I thought someone else would bring it. And she said short staffed. Well no they weren't. We watched them standing around talking. When she brought my salad. She says enjoy with a rude tone. My wife who avoids any kind of problem was even shocked how she did that. Well the food. Hamburger steak was fine. The alligator bites had a spoiled smell to them and sent back. The manager did come over after we asked for the Mgr. He was apologetic had no issues With him. That's the reason giving a 2 star and not a 1 . Don't think we will go back if the same waitress is there.

Everything was great. Boiled shrimp & fried catfish. Will definitely be going back. Service was very attentive and food came out quickly.
