I live in Florida! Miss sams so much... so I flew a sandwich down. Staff nailed it. Sandwich made it in one piece and absolutely not soggy at all.

Thank you so much to the two women working this morning. We ordered 10 pizzas for our son's birthday party. They were ready before the scheduled pick up time, delicious, super hot, and fresh. When picking them up I was met with awesome customer service from very friendly staff. A experience! You guys are the best!

Sam's is great if you want Italian food. I always get ham Italians and pizza. Authentico! I have a friend named Sam. He likes to pretend he owns the place. He does not!

Sandwiches are fantastic. We got the steak hoagie and chicken, cranberry, almond wrap. If you can call ahead you won't have to wait so long but they were short-handed with only two people working. Very friendly service, prices are excellent. We will definitely be back again.

I don't normally give five stars across the board and normally service probably isn't always consistent but for this particular experience I literally had nothing to complain about. Food was great. I got a bucket of spaghetti with meatballs and sauce with a bag of bread and a two liter of pepsi. The spaghetti is thin spaghetti which is what I like, the sauce is amazing, the bread is pretty good and the order came with a two liter of soda. The price was 28.00 for all that included. It was on special. Service was good. Friendly staff on. Monica the boss on duty was a genuinely nice person, told her what I wanted and she pointed out the deal on spaghetti which saved me money. Went out of her way to be kind, very good service. Atmosphere was fine. We went for lunch so it wasn't super busy, we sat in the dining room which was empty, probably a slow hour but that's okay because it was relaxing and peaceful and enjoyed our food. The dining room was very clean and stocked. The bathroom was exceptionally clean too. No complaints. Parking is usually easy to get into. Plenty of parking spots. It's not as expensive as other places. Overall, 5 stars.

SAMs makes my absolute favorite sandwich. Delicious homemade bread and pickles. Wonderful customer service. I drive 45 minutes just to come here.
