Terrible food! Nothing was good. I think the alcohol is what draws people there. The brisket was dry and thin. The sides weren't good. The dessert was not good. The ambiance is dependent upon your reasons for going. read more

I Found parking right in front. I was confused on what to get, because I'm not from Texas. The helpful employees offered me samples and gave me recommendations. I ended up with Mac and cheese, turkey, brisket, corn and cheese sausage. It was so good and big portions. I have to save the rest for dinner. read more

Sam’s BBQ - Cheese sausage, brisket, turkey and 2 sides ( corn and mac and cheese). - Barbeque Near Me - Boyd, Texas

Sam's Bbq is super Good! Great Favorite on the Brisket! The sides are great as well! I will be back!

Local bbq place is good. The food is good. The building is a little old and the "bar" in the back might be a little off putting to some but you could get To-Go if you prefer read more

Soooooo good!!! The turkey is wonderful, staff was great. Plenty of condiments to go along with your plate. Definitely a good vibe and great BBQ read more

Stopped in this place while traveling through town. It was a weekday lunch so there wasn't a lot of people to fight in line so it made for quick ordering. The gentleman working the line were cordial and helped point out the menu options. My son and I both ordered the pork ribs plate with two sides and my wife ordered the Frito pie with chopped beef. The portion sizes were really good for the price points and the food was really good. The ribs were moist and tender and the sides of broccoli n cheese and Mac salad were good. We all ordered the spicy BBQ sauce on the side and it had a nice kick to it. My wife really liked her Frito pie. It was a good experience and we will definitely be coming back to try some other items. read more

For me the meat was "just okay." The brisket didn't have that smoked flavor and in fact, it lacked ANY smoky flavor at all. If I had to guess, it tasted baked and not smoked. My husband smokes brisket almost every weekend, experimenting with different wood flavor and cook times so we know what we like from a brisket. I will hand it to Sam's, it was moist. But it's almost as if they were depending on us to dunk it in the bbq sauce for any flavor which is NOT how I eat brisket. I don't want to rely on a dipping sauce to make the meat taste good, that's a waste of meat (I might as well dip spam in bbq sauce at that point because it takes from the fact of it being brisket!). The ham actually had a hint of smoke flavor but it was served lukewarm. Our sides of mac and cheese and green beans were also lukewarm, kind of gross and we didn't finish them. The okra, on the other hand, was great! Ugh, I hate to write this but the tea was sour and the restrooms hadn't been cleaned in a while (the walls were dirty and the soap dispenser wasn't working but was still hanging on the wall despite there being a soap bottle on the sink). It gave me the feeling that they rely on customer patronage based on the bar/happy hour more so than families visiting during the daytime. The nighttime life probably is where they get most of their money, just an assumption based on what we experienced. We won't be returning for the food. The guys serving our meat plates and sides were not that friendly either, they seemed bored and didn't really want to do anything, so it was a slow moving line. Albeit the lady running the cash register was friendly though. Wait! The saving grace was the banana pudding! It was actually fresh (the bananas were barely brown) and the wafers were not soggy. So they do have that going but not enough to make a special trip over here. read more

I love BBQ, so any chance to try a new place is an excuse to drive somewhere. From the outside it doesn't look like much but it is homey once inside. We went in a weeknight and only a couple other people there around 8pm. They have the typical menu to choose from. $14 got me a two meat dinner plate which is a good price. I chose turkey and their sliced brisket. Topped it off with potato salad and fried okra. The brisket was a little dry for me. Not bad at all but not exceptional either. The smoked turkey was just ok. My favorite part of dinner was the okra. Well cooked. The potato salad was generic and a small scoop. Overall not bad but not good enough to drive out here special for. read more

Sam’s BBQ - Two meat plate turkey/brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Boyd, Texas

This place has great brisket. The brisket had good smoke flavor and melted in my mouth. Sausage tasted like the sausage I get anywhere else but was very good. Sam's has so many side choices! Since I was purchasing one of the family packs I was able to get 6 pints. Macaroni salad excellent. Pasta salad was great. Potato salad had more mustard pickle relish taste then I prefer but it was good. The broccoli salad was excellent. I wasn't able to sample the Mac and cheese or broccoli rice sides as Iam stuffed to the gills. Well worth the drive for great barbecue and sides. Cafeteria style service oh and they have 3 variations on sauce. read more

Sam’s BBQ - Brisket, sausage and 4 sides. Sooooooo hood - Barbeque Near Me - Boyd, Texas

We love this place! The chopped brisket, the sliced brisket, the hot link plate, the sauces, the bar... yeah, we go here a lot. Lots of parking, affordable prices. The owners are invested in their business, they want to keep people coming back and you can tell in the fresh meats and sides. We've been coming here at least five years and looking forward to five more. read more

Mediocre restaurant. Food had a good flavor, but is was cold. One of staff who passing out good could not speak any English. Asked for the Regular BBQ sauce and got Spicy. Had the Sweet and Unsweet tea signs switched. Went during lunch time and it was not busy. read more

I've been coming here for 3 years now. The food is very good, meat is tender, dessert is yummy, the staff is cordial. The tea and lemonade is very good! Well worth the visit. read more

We absolutely love Sam's BBQ! We always tell our friends about it and rave about the brisket and ribs and Mac and Cheese! All the food is great and we always serve to friends and family who come in from out of town as well. Also, the new digital sign is great! read more

Good food, quick service. The decorations are nice and the over all feel of the place is comfortable.

The new BBq place in Boyd is really decent. It is slightly above average for a lot of the BBQ in Wise county. Now let's be fair, this is in what I call the everyday BBQ joints. We aren't comparing to Heim, Franklin or Snows. This isn't luxury BBq and it doesn't have luxury prices! We walked in and the employees were nice! They asked if we had ever been there before, gave us sampling's, and explained how the ordering worked. They even offered us the German sausage that wasn't on the menu! So... 1/2 lb German sausage, 1/2 lb moist brisket, and 1/2 lb pork ribs! They have 3 sauces: regular, spicy and regional. The brisket was dry. When I order moist (fatty) and it's dry, I just cannot help you. The ribs were okay, but nothing to write home about. The German sausage was dry while tasty, and had a hard to chew casing on it. My wife didn't eat more than 1 bite. The unchewable casing slid down my throat and choked me... I had to pull it out. The sauces were all very similar, nothing distinctive between them. Bottom line... everything was dry. It's okay if you are comfortable with average. 3 Stars is still better than much of the competition! read more

I drove an hour just to get BBQ from this restaurant. What a gem! I purchased the Family Pack 1(with ribs) to go since I will snack on it for a few days. But the bummer is that after reading the reviews, I failed to consider dessert to go too. Next time for certain. I chose the sides that were listed with the Family Pack. The beans and cole slaw were wonderful. Staff was very nice, and they had a new employee today at the register. A young man learning the ropes. He was adorable. Will drive back out again one day. The drive was beautiful. Thank you for your hospitality, Sams! read more

Very friendly. Just went to eat. There's a bar & pool tables. Didn't do that. The food was good with great service. read more

The brisket was good. They trim the fat before serving. The sliced sandwich had a decent amount of meat. The sausage was a little disappointing. I felt it needed more fat. Liked that they have a relish bar. Onions and a lot of pickled items. Big issue was that during happy hour only domestic beer is included. Another spot in the world where Michelob is not domestic. Wanted to give 3.5. read more

Sam’s BBQ - a happy hour sign on a door - Barbeque Near Me - Boyd, Texas

Excellent quality food. Price is fair. Lots of choices to see so makes it hard to decide what to try next. Highly recommend

I've been to Sam's BBQ about 10 times and have tried their ribs, chicken and brisket along with most of their sides and rolls. The food is great, the staff is great and the price is very affordable. I will be returning for more of this great BBQ and would highly recommend Sam's BBQ. read more

Really good bbq. Everything is good here. Buffet type ordering system with plenty of seating. Sam is a great guy! There's a beautiful bar as well. read more

Great hole in the wall place. I had the brisket and chicken two meat plate. It was excellent with the spicy barbecue sauce. Also the cheesy broccoli casserole was really really good this is definitely a hole in the wall place you don't go there for atmosphere but you go there for the food. can't recommend enough!! read more

Amazing food I told my friend Eric about it and it's just amazing good price and amazing choices good recommendation

Worst bbq I ever had there was no meat on my ribs basically eating just bone brisket was so thin and the side were just awful

I had the lunch special. Got turkey as my meat and it was cooked well, got it with the spicy sauce. Sauce wasn't really balanced that well. Green beans were on point. The pinto beans need help. Wasn't a fan, way too bland so that knocks them down a notch. Place is more like a 3.5 but I rounded up. read more

We just moved to the area and we're trying out new places. You walk in and grab a tray, tell the gentlemen what you'd like, they cut it right in front of you while you decide which sides and which bbq sauce you'd like. Then you pay, sit down and start eating. OMG!!!!!!! The turkey is the best I've ever had, and the hot links are to die for. In the back part of the restaurant is a full bar and some pool tables, and they have karaoke. Nothing fancy, just great, friendly service and some of the best food around, PERIOD. You're selling yourself short if you don't go to Sam's! read more

So good! I got a loaded potato. It was just right. My husband got a pulled pork sandwich. It came with corn on the cob and he said it was the best he has ever had. I will definitely be going back. read more

Brisket, beans, and peach cobbler so delicious! The people that work there are super friendly!

We always love going to Sam's to eat! The bbq potatoes are the best! I would recommend this place!!!!

Went for Karaoke. Great place to meet people and have a great meal. Karaoke ever Friday.

Just tried this place and will definitely be back. I can see myself picking up a to-go feast after work. I sampled pork loin, rib ends, brisket and jalapeno sausage. There is a big selection of pickled fixings. All the meat was moist & tender. Nothing was greasy. The smoke flavor wasn't too strong. My only complaint was that the brisket was too salty. The sides were tasty and the price was great. Didn't have room for cobbler or banana pudding, but hope to try those sometime. This is in Boyd, so of course the city water tastes as bad as it gets. I'm told the tea and lemonade are made with filtered water. read more

Excellent BBQ! The best around. Owner uses a high quality meat. Just delicious!!!! We won't be going anywhere else for BBQ. Happy New Year Sam's BBQ read more

Bbq was really good, hickory smoked. Brisket had the red ring, moist, tender, and not drying out like at most other places. Sides and Sausage were also good, both reg and jalapeño/cheese. Best bbq I've had in a long time!! Portions larger and prices lower then the chain bbq places. Will be going back soon. read more
