Food always tasty! Cocktails are great. Bar wait staff are pros. Fun place to meet friends for dinner.

We went out for a 9-year old's birthday, but more for us than him clearly because there were 5 adults and two children! Ha! He loves calamari so we chose our restaurant based on that one menu item and went from there. It was a large appetizer portion and delicious. We had a wide variety of items-fried shrimp, crabcakes, salmon salad, and a Brisket Dip sandwich. The only complaint with the meal was regarding the Brisket. It was extremely tough and full of gristle and after just 2 or 3 bites it was left. We didn't mention it, maybe we should have, but the waitress really should have asked in my opinion since it was obviously barely touched. It had been a while since we've dined at Sammy G's, but I remember it being a bit livelier and busy. Despite it being a Saturday evening, it was not, which is good if you want to be able to walk right in I think. I'm not sure if it was just an off night or the norm though, as we made a reservation since we had a larger party. read more

First time here! I left Ross and was super hungry after shopping for spring clothes. Swing by to grab a bite. I order the teriyaki chicken, came with broccoli red bell peppers and onions topped with a delicious teriyaki sauce. The teriyaki sauce wasn't too sweet at all the veggies were cooked perfectly and the chicken was very tender. The meal also come with a side salad. I got the house salad with ranch, the ranch is delicious not watery or too thick. The salad looks so phenomenal, I honestly didn't take a picture of it. Cause it went straight into my belly lol. I ordered a peach drink top with champagne to quench my thirst. After shopping the adult beverage help me unwind for the rest of the day. For appetizer, I wanted some good old wings, flavor I went with was garlic Parmesan. It was a yasssss for me!! Again the ranch with it bought the wings to a different level. I'm a ranch girl and I appreciate delicious ranch! Server answer all the questions I had and help me pick since there were so many good items on the menu..If your in the area check them out! A plus was no wait for a table on a Sunday after 2pm! read more

Sammy G's is one of my favorite restaurants and more so a staple. My friends and I come here all the time for the good service, friendly faces, and delicious variations of foods. The drinks never let us down either. It's a place good for celebrations or just a good lunch vibe. Most of all, it's consistent. I never have to worry about whether the food or drinks are going to be right. read more

I think this is my favorite in the area when in town and visiting HPU. Good variety of food, good service. I'm gonna rave about the Chicken Wings! Totally getting every time I return. read more

We shared app and a meal. Calamari to start, our go to. Very fresh and marinara was so good and not nickel and dimed for another cup. I'm picky about my fries. They can come before or after the meal, as long as they are hot. They listened! They came early- no problem. But they were hot and good! The steak and cheese was good. It was really rich and heavy on the mushroom flavor. Service was impeccable! They had a heavy seafood menu so we plan to return to try that. read more

Out of four visits, we thoroughly enjoyed three of them, and those are the only visits you need to hear about! Our first visit was an impromptu date night. We were sat in the back room and each ordered a chicken dish with the bacon appetizer. Everything from the beverages to the bread to the app to the entrees to the service was fantastic! Everything was delicious and our server was warm and friendly. My next visit was with three of my girlfriends. Jeff was our server and he is my favorite server at Sammy G's! We got drinks, apps, and entrees. Jeff ensure the timing on each was perfect, made suggestions when asked, and made us feel very welcome! He was also very funny and kept us smiling and entertained the entire visit! The last visit was with two of my girlfriends. The service was on point, the food was absolutely fantastic, and we left feeling full and very content. Despite the one sour visit, Sammy G's deserves all the stars I can give them! We will definitely be back! read more

The food is amazing, well seasoned and well portioned. When you ask for how to have your steak done, they cook it just right, at least for us when we went. We sat outside so not sure how it is indoor, but at least for us sitting outside, it is well secluded since the seating outside is where you see other people but is where it is spaced out so you have some privacy. Our server is great he makes sure to check in on you and our water is always filled. He is well versed in the menu in terms of food, mixed drinks, and the special of the day (can give you a description of what all is used in the food to entice you). read more

Sammy G's Tavern - Cajun pasta with salmon - American Near Me - High Point, North Carolina

Great food! Awesome service! There was nothing bad about the food I ordered! And I've been there twice!

Great service and good food both times we have eaten here in the last 2 months. The portions are sizable and the entrees come with a large salad. You can also opt for a cup of soup for an upcharge. My daughter really enjoyed the lobster bisque. We stated with the crispy calamari that was served with a tangy lemon aioli. The stuffed flounder, lemon chicken, and the sirloin were all great choices. The back of the restaurant was well lit and wasn't too terribly loud even though there were several large parties around us. We were happy that we were able to hold conversations without having to yell at each other across the table. We will definitely keep Sammy G's in mind for future celebrations. read more

Came here for a quick dinner. Was in the mood for some healthy so I chose one of their salads and added blackened shrimp. It was tasty! The salad came out fresh and had a good portion leaving me with leftovers for later! Our server was friendly and made sure we did not run dry on drinks the entire evening. Inside the light were dimmed for dinner time and the restaurant was clean! Although we didn't get any alcoholic drinks, there is a large bar with several drink selections and a large wine menu Definitely somewhere I would come back to for a quick lunch or a dinner with friends read more

We were a pretty big group who went for brunch on a Sunday and our server was pretty impressive. She remembered our orders when food was being served and didn't make any mistake when she returned each of our credit cards. I love their bread, sweet and bite size. The Crab Cake Benedict didn't disappoint, quite tasty and fresh. Seafood cravings satisfied. Be careful when driving into the parking lot from the left side facing the restaurant. No one was harmed haha, but a few of us hit the curb since it's hard to see. Not the restaurant's fault! read more

We were out of town and had no idea where to eat. We found this on yelp near our hotel and could not have been happier. Great atmosphere at the bar with communal seating. The manager was great and our server Charlotte was exceptional. Cocktails prepared exactly as requested. I forgot to take pictures but we ordered the ceaser salad with salmon the steak and cheese sub and two burgers. Everything was cooked perfectly and was delicious. If I'm ever back in town we will definitely dine here. Great experience great food and fantastic service. read more

Attended my husband's work company holiday dinner and our meals were delicious , as always. Sammy G's in one of my favorite High Point restaurants. The staff and service is top notch and they take great care of you. We always leave satisfied and full. Our tables were filled with a few round of appetizers . One of the appetizers that stood out was the Thai shrimp .It's one of my go to apps. It's covered in this creamy Thai sauce & has so much flavor. Some places call it bang bang shrimp. As our main course , I had the crab stuffed flounder. I recommend this dish to anyone who loves seafood and fish in general. This came with sautéed shrimp ,spinach , and asparagus on top, mixed in this creamy sauce . The flounder was very good and the crab really paired well with all of the different flavors and textures in this dish. My husband got the steak and shrimp as dinner .The steak was flavorful and not tough . It paired well with the 2 sides that it came with . We finished off with the tuxedo cake. The marbled cake was very moist & had chocolate ganache with tiny crunched pretzels around it . read more

We've been pulled into High Point the past week for various reasons. I Yelped for lunch today, but a lot of places are closed Monday or open later. Sammy G's has good reviews so off we went. We got there right after they opened for lunch; friendly greeting and attentive wait. She quickly fixed a hiccup from the kitchen. The lunch crowd patrons started to flow in. The food was good. They obviously have a strong following. And, we hit the curb too! My only issue was the condition of the men's bathroom for a nice place like this, needs some attention! read more

I love this place. Very upscale. Very clean place! every server we have had is: curtious and fast. Good selection of beers. The steaks were on point! you can choose what you want as far as sides (pasta and steak together for a little extra) not the combos they offer which was nice. We will be back! read more

I had a big party of people so I really got a good feel for how the meals looked and how the waitress responded to our requests; AMAZING! I had brunch in mind but others wanted the main menu. The brunch menu was very limited but I was feeling more like brunchy eggy stuff. Almost everyone else went w the main menu. I was a little disappointed in the limited brunch menu as I had specifically come in at brunch hour which goes on till 2:00pm. I ordered crab Benedict and fruit. When it came it looked lonely sitting on the plate w no garnishes and fruit was meh. That cost $18.99. The Benedict was good though. Most folks meals started w a salad and various main meals came out next. Made me wish I had ordered from the main menu. The waitress was very good with getting all the meals and drinks out in a timely fashion, no complaints from anyone. Just 1 server was able to handle our table of 14 people! Kudos to her! Sammy Gs is a great lunch or dinner restaurant with a full bar. I recommend checking it out! They have lotsa good food and friendly staff. read more

3 /12 stars Came here to celebrate a birthday with a group of 7. They immediately seated us upon arrival per our reservation time. The food and drink service was pretty fast once it got going. The room we were seated in didn't have as much ambiance as the rest of the restaurant. It was a back room with about 4 long tables for larger parties. The only problem was that the lighting in this room is very bright compared to the rest of the restaurant. If it could just be dimmed it would make it feel like you weren't in a dining hall. That's basically the only thing I don't like about the venue. Everyone seemed generally happy with their dinners. Nothing amazing but good all around. We had meals ranging from the salmon, chicken teriyaki, pasta, and rib eye. One member of our party commented that the pasta sauce tasted "milky" versus flavorful. They bring little bread rolls with butter to the table to accompany the meal. Some meals came with salad. I asked for no onions; there were onions. I mentioned to the server it was birthday dinner for someone in our party. They brought out a complimentary dessert for the birthday guest which was very nice. read more

The service was excellent the teriyaki chicken was hand down delicious the atmosphere was wonderful, I highly recommend Sammy G's

Great waiter, laid back tavern vibe and good food. This is the sister restaurant to Fratellis in Winston Salem. The only negative is the famous Fratellis dressing here isn't as sweet. It's a minor thing, but I didn't think I'll order it there again. All of our meals tasted good, I recommend the Tavern Chicken or the Panther Chicken both are tasty! read more

Sammy G's is a well-loved local establishment in the north High Point area, and the namesake is that of Sammy Giannopolous, a well-loved restaurateur in the Triad. You can find his fingerprints all over this tavern with several dishes clearly inspired by his original Italian restaurant up the road Gianno's (though that has since changed hands). There is a bit of an Italian flair to this tavern, though you can certainly find American favorites like burgers, fish and chips, etc. as well. We visited a few days before Christmas last year, and the joint was decorated for the season and hoppin! Our server was attentive without being overly so, and all the dishes came out in a timely fashion. We had an order of the house chips as an appetizer, and they definitely don't short you on the portion here for these. The chips were crispier, which I like, I am not one for floppy chips. Dinner came with a house salad, greens were fresh, and I was happy to see that the creamy italian dressing that I grew to love at Gianno's was here for the taking. For dinner I had the stuffed flounder, and while it wasn't disappointing, I was hoping for a bit more flavor from the sauce. Flounder and shrimp are of course kind of bland on their own, could have benefitted from more zing. Overall, I was pleased though. Sammy G's is a great place to take a group or a date anytime of year, and the menu has enough variety to please any palette. We'll come again sometime! read more

This is my first and last visit to this place. I ordered a drink that had alcohol in it. The serve gave the drink to my 14 year old son instead of me. I said something to the serve and he made a joke of it. When our meal was done I asked to speak to a manager. No one showed up to speak to me. I was going to leave it alone but I was encourage by husband to leave a yelp review to warn anyone who looks at reviews before trying a new place. If you do go to Sammy G's and shawn is your serve ask for another serve. read more

Service and ambiance was great, but a bit overpriced for the food and drinks we got. Overall would come back to try different dishes:)

Food is always solid, service can be hit or miss depends on where you get seated. Love going on Thursdays because of the $5 martinis (blood orange cosmo is so good). We love the patio there but not always open due to staffing problems. We get their tuna appetizer & entree. read more

We came here after hearing that they have gluten free crabcakes and were pleasantly surprised to find that not only do they have GF crabcakes, they are able to do many gluten free menu items. We did get the crabcakes which is an item that is very hard to find GF, and they were terrific. We also got the shrimp (not GF) which were just as tasty. We had wonderful service at the bar and our food was fast and delicious as well. We will certainly be coming back, although maybe not every week as the price was on the higher side. For that price they certainly don't skimp on portion size and quality though, so we didn't feel that Sammy G's was overpriced in anyway. The space is large and looks like a good place to bring friends or a group as well. read more

Food is always on point here, once again portions size is not in your favor if you eat a lot like me. I order my go-to, which is the stuff flounder it's always on point. You get fresh bread which melts in your mouth, the salad is always on point I eat that with thousands island, didn't order an appetizer this time, order a dessert which was the foster, moist pound cake with bananas Carmel and topped with icecream. 5 star environment, bigger portion for entrée and this would be a 5 star review, for 25 dollars for the stuffed flounder i remeber it being more. Service is always great here read more

Service was great restaurant was clean i ordered a salad with crab cake. The salad was alright but the crab cake was not. I could not eat it. My daughter had the fish sandwich and she loved it. read more

The food is decent, but nothing mind blowing. It's an affordable, casual iItalian/american pub food sort of place. The mixed drinks are very sweet, and the service is a bit slow in my experience. Best items in the menu are the spicy shrimp appetizer (very similar to bang bang shrimp), and the Fratellis salad with their house Italian dressing which is the same as Fratellis in Winston (same owner, I believe). Pasta, steaks, sandwiches, and even tacos (doing a little too much to do it well, maybe?). Picture is of the Mediterranean Pasta which was ok. It's not bad or excellent, it just is middle of the road. read more

This one has been on the list for a long time now, so when we had to decide where to go for dinner with a work friend this was the gonto place. We went on Saturday for dinner and the place was really busy. We had to wait 5-10 mins to be decided and saw every table was packed. Once seated the server came out quickly and took our drink orders. The place like the name suggests is a tavern sobyou can sut at the bar kr a table or booths. I ordered the blackened salmonbwith a side of mashed potatoes. Before anything else they brought out the bread which was absolutely DELICIOUS! The food in itself was really good, although i wished it were a little spicier. But for the steep dinner price of $22, I wished the portion size was bigger. Nonetheless it was definitely a great visit and I would love to visit again but for lunch this time when their menu items are a bit cheaper. read more

We ended up at Sammy G's for the first time in a very long time this past weekend. It was a Saturday evening so I was expecting a wait but luckily we were able to grab a table quickly. Our server was very good and attentive. The restaurant was busy but the wait staff stayed polite, attentive, and kind. The meal starts with these little rolls that hit the spot if you come in hungry. My husband picked the Blackened Salmon Sandwich with the chips. He said it had such a great taste and the blackening was the perfect level. I tasted one of his chips and they were perfectly crisp. I ordered the Tavern Chicken which comes with mashed potatoes and corn, as well as a side salad. My Caesar side salad was very good--the salad was well dressed and the dressing wasn't too "goopy" or heavy. My only super minor complaint was the salad took a bit to come out, and our server brought us more bread in the interim. The chicken was sheer perfection! I was hesitant about the tomato (they aren't my favorite) but the tomato added the perfect amount of acid which added to the flavor. The corn might be my favorite! If they gave out the recipe, I'd take it! Looking back, I'd ask for corn instead of the potatoes, they were just that good! read more

We decided to finally check out Sammy G's for my birthday. We were wanting something close by since it was during the week after work and rainy outside. Since this place always looks busy, I figured it had to be good. And it was. Honestly, I feel like the service alone would keep me coming back. Our waitress was wonderful. The menu offers a good variety of selections and the restaurant itself is nice inside. Unfortunately my birthday seems to coincide with many office get togethers for the holidays so the noise level was a little louder than expected, but I feel like it was mostly isolated to a particular party, so I won't fault the restaurant for that. The rainy weather had the chili looking really appealing so I decided to swap my salad in favor of a bowl of it. It was delicious! Great for a cold rainy evening and very flavorful. Dare I say my favorite part of my whole meal, even. My husband had the Caesar salad which was very well dressed and tasty as well. You also receive a basket of bread complimentary with the meal. We decided to try the pretzel on a hook as an appetizer. It came out of the kitchen quickly and was very soft and seasoned nicely with coarse salt. Unfortunately, no hook so it didn't photograph as well but that didn't affect the taste one bit. The cheese sauce was similar to a pepperjack queso rather than the typical nacho cheese. Our waitress was a huge help in finally nailing down our entrees. I have the worst trouble with making decisions when the entire menu sounds so good! She recommended going with the fresh catch of the day over a steak and honestly, it's not hard to sell me once you mention it can be served blackened. So mahi mahi it was for me with a side of steamed broccoli. The seasoning was perfect on the fish but I feel it was cooked a little too long. The broccoli was broccoli, no real particular seasoning or anything special about it. There were a few pieces of red bell pepper to offer some flavor but I think I may have had two total so it didn't offer a lot. My husband opted for the bone in pork chop special which was topped with cooked apples and served with mashed potatoes and his choice of Greek green beans. The pork chop was tasty, although maybe a touch over cooked and the mashed potatoes were extra thin. The green beans were very good though we weren't sure what exactly to expect. They had almost a stewed tomato base that reminded me of tomatoes and okra. Overall, everything was tasty and it was a good meal. I had to knock one start for the slight overcooking of the proteins but would be willing to give them another shot based on everything else mentioned. read more

When we first entered, the place was crowded, and we soon learnt just why. Even though we went there on a weekend without any reservation, we didn't have to wait very long to be seated and then waited on. First we were brought some bread rolls with butter. The bread was very soft and tasty. A nice way to start the meal. I had ordered a chicken gyro with sweet potato fries, which was as yummy as it was filling. My husband had ordered blackened salmon, which was tasty but pretty small for the price. Other than that, we had a good time at the tavern and the food tastes yum, answering why the place keeps busy. read more

First visit but not our last ! Enjoyed a tasty and satisfying meal of Blackened mahi, with Parmesan creamed corn, and a house salad with their own Creamy Italian dressing.

Kudos to our waitress, Charlotte, who was very pleasant and accommodating. Looking forward to our next visit and exploring the menu further. read more
