Sam's Bar-B-Que deserves some credit for how well they cooked the ribs we got today. Very nice temperature, seasoning and bark! Their spicy sauce was perfection, with just the right amount of kick that you want. The service was great and they brought our food to the table. Ambiance was comforting, crowd was diverse, and the overall experience was a solid one. Would recommend!

Sam's is one of the few BBQ restaurants that always has beef ribs, which are my favorite kind of BBQ Ribs. The portion is large (full rack (7 large ribs) $35.56 for the a-la-cart order without side dishes). The price is a bit high, but the ribs are delicious and meaty and worth it. My wife and I split the full rack of beef ribs and we had leftovers for another meal.You order and pay at the counter. When the food is ready it will be brought to your table. The decor is classic informal. There are two dining rooms. The inner room (where the ordering counter is) has an electric train going on a shelf next to the ceiling. It used to have a full train with several cars, but now it just a locomotive. We have been coming here for years and always enjoy their food!

The food is real smoked and barbecued. The barbecued ribs and chicken is the real deal. Variety of ways to get a huge baked potato. The servers are friendly and helpful. The live music - bluegrass - is lots of fun. The music band is out on a covered patio on Wednesday nights. It is difficult to get a table, but our server kept looking out for us until a table was available. This definitely a fun place to come and bring friends.

We hadn't eaten at Sam's in years & my last memory was not great. We'll I've changed my mind. We ordered a brisket sandwich with beans and coleslaw and baby back ribs with beans and potato salad. All items were delicious. The beans were terrific. We will surely choose Sam's next time we want BBQ.

The staff is really friendly and accommodating. Everything I've ordered is great. I ordered a half slab of ribs and was surprised how meaty they were. Oh, and I love their garlic bread.
