    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.
