Sam's Southern Eatery Owensboro

Cathy Mayfield

I would have given them 5 stars if it had been good the last 2x I was there. A month or more between times. I love their catfish, crab cakes but the food tastes old or like they don’t change their fryers e nough. The last 2x my fish was overdone. They also need to improve and incorporate some changes on sides! Every time we get a good place this is what happens. There evidently aren’t any good cooks in Owensboro anymore. It’s extremely high, and especially for someone who is elderly.

Me and my boyfriend try to eat at a new restaurant each week because we have so many hidden gems here in Owensboro and the candidate for this week was Sam’s. It’s slightly on the more expensive side but don’t let that keep you from trying it out. I got a basic cheeseburger and fries and it was very delightful. My boyfriend got their Philly cheese chicken sandwich and had inhaled it before I even got the ketchup on my plate. Very cozy place and amazing food. The employees where so incredibly sweet and patient. I truly hate that they are located so close to Big Dipper because this place is equally just as good if not better but due to the known reputation of Big Dipper nobody would think to try the cute restaurant across the street. So I highly recommend the next time you’re wanting the dipper and the lines on the road in both directions or you simply don’t carry cash in 2022 then please give sams a try.

Authentic southern style food! They have ALL of the options for po’ boys. They have a great Philly cheesesteak and a chicken Philly cheesesteak to boot. They have some of the best crab cakes I’ve had in my entire life, and they serve it with a delicious remoulade. Their fried okra is also fantastic. The service and hospitality was great too. A new regular spot for our office.

This was my first time trying the restraunt. My first impression was great, the nicest girl named Savannah waited on us and was extremely helpful. Considering I asked her question after question about the food she was so nice and didn't seem annoyed in the least bit. She is a great asset to this company! That girl knows her stuff and has a great personality! She brought our food out to us promptly and made sure everything was correct. The food was really good. Philly cheesesteak was great and the burger was nice and juicy but not greasy. Just right! I definitely will be back because it is so hard these days to find any employees with a personality and even harder to find someone who will work hard, if even at all!! Hopefully the owners will take good care of her and treat her well because she is worth it. If not I would love to have a worker like her at one of my stores!!
