Sams in other cities:
Had an amazing lunch at Sams. Food was delicious. The jerk chicken, smothered pork chops, mac-n-cheese, greens, and yams were out of this world! Great service and drinks.
I ordered fried chicken The chicken was hard and dry the Mac and cheese was cold n nasty no flavor eww
Was excited to have soul food (we dont have soul restaurant near our home)..the price was higher than expected and service was quick..the food was great and filling
I have been living in the bronx for 16 years and today I tried Sams soul food for the first time. My god they did not disappoint. I ordered the BBQ Chicken with rice and veggies and my boyfriend ordered the Jerk Chicken with mac and cheese and rice. Incredibly flavorful and just the right proportions. I will definitely be back.
Great service, Great Food, Great Atmosphere, Great Price, & Great Restaurant!!! I absolutely love it! If go from 11am to 4pm, they have the $6 menu specials and my Sage Steele of ESPN loves it!
Grabbed a $7.00 plate from Sams for lunch today! Got my BBQ chicken with some mac and cheese plus corn bread!😋I encourage all of you to BUY BLACK!!!#supportblackbusinesses
When you get tired of fast food and cooking everything. Sams soul food restaurant is the place to go. The brothersthat work there are hard working, friendly,and aim to please. I make sure to go thereevery weekend to remind myself what good tasting soul food is all about. To prove their food is on the money. Stop bythere on any given day. You will find a lineof delivery people picking up food for customers that for whatever reason can not go themselves. If you can walk in there and your mouth doesnt start watering something is wrong. The food isis on the money. Even though it is a soul food restaurant. They have a tremendousfollowing of customers of all ethnicities.Check them out. You cant go wrong.
All I can say is WOW. I ordered their jerk chicken (breast) rice and beans (with some jerk sauce on the rice) and OMG! Honestly the best Southern American soul food I’ve ever tasted in my life! Their macaroni and cheese is also very good. Next time I go, I’ll try their fried chicken. The owner and workers are very nice. I love this place!Update: Haven’t been there in a long time, so I decided to stop by to see if the food has changed. It has not! Do yourself a favor and get exactly what you see in those pictures along with a large lemonade and you will be set. Your stomach will thank you!
Worst. Food. Ever. Mac and cheese was tasteless. Collard greens are actually cabbage. Whiting tasted like it was even clean; like you could taste the fishiness. It was also soggy. The lemonade was pure sugar. I really wish I could untaste it all.
Pork ribs so tender you can eat them with a spoon. Bone sucking sauce just the right amount of tang and sweet. Sweet potatoes as sweet as candy. As they say in the Michelin guide, exceptional cuisine that is worth a special journey.”
Nice spot it was so crowded there was hardly no room to dance the bartending service was okay they serve the people they know first before other people you had to wait for a minute for your drink.
Please do not waste your time ordering from here. I ordered Mac and cheese, collard greens, fried chicken, corn bread, and potato salad with rice. The Mac and cheese tasted like Mac but no cheese. The potato salad was sweet and was mashed. The collard greens wasn’t even collard greens. It was like cabbage and carrots. The chicken was alright but not well seasoned, and the corn bread was ok. Also, I ordered two drinks of ice tea and lemonade which was so sweet and didn’t even taste like ice tea or lemonade. Plus my grandma diabetic so why would they make it so sugary. I’m so disappointed because I heard it was good but soul food where??? Never ordering from here again. Ohh and the rice had no peas and tasted old.
Food was ok. Customer service was bad. Never will go back.
The food was cold when it got to me. Under seasoned fish and shrimps. The cabbage was also under seasoned, really expect more from soul food. Rice and peas was the best part of the meal. The Mac and cheese was bland. Worst to of all the cornbread was burnt... The smothered pork chops were ok and thats the reason for 2 stars 🤩 instead of just 1.
The fish was meaty, seasoned well, and very tasty. I do not recommend the free cornbread. The macaroni and cheese was tolerable. The yams were delicious. I personally enjoyed the pork chops. The menu online was not reflective of what was offered. But all in all for a late night meal in Harlem I would certainly return. Oh and the gentleman who served us was a nice guy.
I will never in life order from here again. I ordered turkey wings Mac n cheese candied yams and potato salad. First let me start with the turkey wings I got the tips and bones wow smh Mac n cheese was bland there was no collard greens I got cabbage with raw onions in it and candied yams taste like the can omg I couldnt believe it I wish they had a no star real tall
The food is great! Music usually pretty good; but the staff is something else. Hit or miss. Sometimes you get the most pleasant and professional people, then some nights you get attitude and neglect. Tonight however I watched security (men) rush an empty table taking it from the young lady and her friends who were about to sit there. It was despicable. Her and her friends took it in stride but I was disgusted.
Food just to taste better... now its like they just cook to cook... I ordered barbecue chicken and ribs combo... the chicken had no flavor and the ribs had nothing but fat on them, the Mac n cheese was dry bland and old.
Best Soul food Bar restaurant lounge
I went in to inquire about prices and the man that was there was very rude. He also did not listen when i ask for all my pieces of chicken to be small . overall corn bread looked horrible and the food was not tasty at all. so i wasted 35.00 bucks on food .i had mac and cheese candied yams with fried chicken and corn bread. i will not but from there again

I had there ribs fried chicken yams and Mac and cheese. .. I almost ate the container it was so fire . Thank you ! The Asian guy hooked us up , my girl was satasfied , her sister was satasfied , and I was satasfied . Next door has some really nice furniture too
The only reason I’m giving this a 1 is because the cornbread was good. We ordered the chicken, and fish and shrimp combo. First off the chicken was OVERLY DRY so Dry my spouse didn’t even finish eating it. It looked as if it had been sitting for hours. 2nd the fish and shrimp platter was horrible, they put the Mac & cheese under the fish in the platter. The fish had NO seasoning AT ALL, it was limp and I could tell that and the shrimp were old as well. The Mac and cheese was ok on the top after the top was gone the inside was DRY I don’t understand why everything was DRY. The potato salad was ok but more like purée then what I’m used to. Last the portions are very VERY small. For 30$ I expected the food to at least taste good. We threw out the majority of the meal. I wouldn’t recommend this place to ANYONE!!!!
I ordered the meatloaf, ribs, turkey wings Mac and cheese with cabbage and my daughter ordered the same. The food was horrible giving it the category Soul Food is incorrect. The guy who served us Africa American with bald head was rude and arrogant. Will never order again. Like who cooks cabbage with garlic😡😡
I really think they deserve more stars than they have. The food is amazing. I always order the fried fish and shrimp with Mac and cheese and collard greens. So good!!
I ordered from door dash. I asked for collard greens and got greens mixed with cabbage. My hot wings tasted like that were sitting in grease. My mac and cheese had very little cheese and flavor. I will never order from here again.
Just stayed there the soup was so salty and we had the spaghetti it was so salty it was impossible my wife always put salt on everything this is the first time she never put salt on anything I was kind of in shock that she’s going to show her so do you wise I said something to the bus boy went to the waiter and he said he would tell the cook I should’ve save the piece and have them try it better yet I will never go back there again if you want to call me to verify this I’ll give you my number
This place is amazing. I went with a bunch of my friends after a Yankees game. The staff is so friendly, and their food is amazing at a cheap price! Their corn bread just may be the best I’ve ever had! Will definitely be coming back here again soon!!
Great food and dance establishment in the Bronx. Even security makes you feel good and asks if youre enjoying everything. Im going on my Birthday day December looking forward to the fish yum. I also enjoy their drinks are reasonable and not watered down . Our bartender I had that night Seleste was very nice and helpful when I couldnt remember the name of a particular drink and the one she recommended was excellent!! Music is awesome.
I always get the meatloaf. I think it’s delicious. Greens mixed with cabbage and yams. One day I’ll try something else but the meatloaf is so good I can’t give it up. Man behind the counter is very friendly. I’m glad I found this place
The food, the service and the whole atmosphere is absolutely amazing. I recommend this place to all of my family and friends. Blessings to Sam and his staff. Continue success, love always Arlene.
Now what it used to be but still got okay fool fish too salty
I ordered food from this place and it was horrible very horrible the food was salty and rough the lemonade was really sweet I would not recommend this place to anybody the worst place ever needs to get shut down i spent 53.96 cents for nothing
Giving two stars because my drink was decent. Food wasn’t anything Special and the actual restaurant just made me itch because it just seemed so unclean. I did NOT want to eat there just because of how dirty the place looked and only stayed because I was there as a lunch guest of somebody. The waitress/bartender wasn’t very friendly either.
The new Bartenders attitude is disgusting terrible customer service, I only stayed because of security team they are warm and nice. When I politely expressed my concerns about the young lady the manager made it seem like I was bothering him by talking to him about the situation. Then I said no problem I will write it on your reviews then he speaks to me mind you this is 10 minutes after I came in. Also 3 different people ask me to see ID because I expressed how I felt. Even though I showed ID when I first came in. My friends and I will find other places. The manager doesnt think customer service is important because his business is booming yeah OK buddy
Good old school rap/r&b music. Good food. Great vibe. Drinks are okay but pricey for simple drinks. Downside is the exits, one going in and out. Decor is outdated. Too hot. No AC.
I enjoyed myself when I went. The food was excellent and I came back from my hometown to eat there. The owner came out himself to greet my crew and I, and the staff was very nice and made me feel like I was family. The atmosphere made me feel like I was at home surrounded by my family. I enjoyed myself and will definitely be going back soon!
The place is very stuffy and a bit run down - so much so it distracted me from the meal I had. The wings weren’t the best.... definitely needed more flavor. The service was good and fast - but that could be due to us being the first ones there. All in all the place (and food) has potential.Note to owners: please look into renovating the place.
Disgusting and HORRIBLE customer service. I called to get some clarification on one of the options on Uber eats and on top of having an attitude he wouldn’t even let me talk or ask my question so when I got rude back he called me from ANOTHER PHONE NUMBER, after placing my order to let me know that “he was going to handle my food”

2022-04-01I just got my order and I’m disappointed. I got fried fish and shrimp with 2 sides. The fish is soggy and flavorless not a drop of seasoning. The Mac has no cheese and the yams taste like water. I also orders the turkey wings with rice and peas and collards.. the rice is hard and the greens are cabbage…. NEVER EVER EVER AGAIN

2021-03-05Food was delivered cold. The fish,the Mac and cheese,the shrimp and the cabbage were very bland under seasoned. The pork chops and rice and peas is the only reason I gave it 2 stars 🤩. I will not order from this restaurant again. My initial order was oxtails instead of the chops but they were out of them. Really wanted to try them but now I dont think so.

2021-03-13Thought I try some soul food today. I go in gentlemen greets me. I ordered rice, mac&cheese, veggies, and fried chicken. I must say food looked good. Gentlemen says that would be 16 dollars so I took out a 10 and said keep the change. He said no its 16 dollars, I was taken a back because it is a little on the expensive side. Overall food was good. Way to expensive!
