Sam's Boat: Reviews & Ratings
Great fried shrimp! I was hesitant about the hush puppies but they were some of the best I've ever had. The drinks are also really strong and great here, had the old fashioned and it didn't disappoint. The service is a little on the slower side but overall has a nice ambiance. I would say they could do a better job at keeping the tables cleaned.
Service is great, ambiance is lovely with a nice patio. I just wish they had more of a crowd. Food menu gives a little bit of everything but with all the space here I wonder how do they keep this place open with not a lot of people here.
GREAT PRICES! FREE PARKINGG! Chill vibe. Great for sports. Great for lunch. I went twice in one week. Cool spot!
So I went here with friends for the drinks ,happy hour really, and some crawfish. My crawfish was so darn good it was the closest that reminded me of Louisiana . Ish was good af okay!!! . I had some liquor . I had the margaritas, and it was on happy hour. They were so good and strong.. I had the wings ,Buffalo, and hot honey, and they were okay,i would not order it again. The waiter was cool and very fast. The place was cool and not crowded. I love sams boat .
After all these years of driving by, I finally stopped in to check it out. I really didn't know that it would have good seafood. I thought that it was just a bar. But... the crab cakes were the meatiest that I have ever had and the creamy cole slaw...one of my top three favorite foods... was perfect. They had a Saint Arnold's lager on tap and the service was right on time.
Great spot for Sunday Funday, happy hour or just a chill date or friends night. I've been here for all occasions. I love any place with a theme and ocean is right up my alley. The menu is mainly seafood or seafood inspired. There is large indoor and patio seating. Food and drinks are always tasty and well prepared. Parking can be tricky on busier days/nights and you might have to pay. On my latest visit, I went during football playoffs. It was pretty crowded but service was still timely and friendly. They do serve crawfish...only one way (no option of flavor or spice). The sausage was sus on our 2nd order but our server did not charge when I showed him that it looked overcooked. As a queso addict, the crab queso is a must. Perfectly made and the homemade chips are the perfect complement.
