This place is a hole in the wall, bbq dive joint - in the best kind of way. I love places like this. We sat on the bar side. If you come in the back door you will walk through the kitchen to get in the bar. I thought that was awesome. The bartender was friendly and enthusiastic. We shared a sampler platter which was a good choice. Had a nice mix of their smoked meats. My wife loved it all especially the wings. I thought the brisket was a little dry but everything else was great. They have a wide selection of homemade sauces. We did the traditional BBQ sauce which was flavorful but not overly sweet. Way too many BBQ places treat side dishes as an afterthought, not this place. I am a Mac and cheese snob, no pastured cheese product here. It was a white cheese and shells real mac and cheese. The baked beans are mix of pinto, lima and kidney beans with some pulled pork thrown in for extra flavor. Very tasty. Highly recommended read more

Best BBQ! Stumbled upon this place and so glad we did. We had the ribs and pulled pork. Highly recommend.

Found this on here and so glad we went. Amazing service, love the bbq, and the place. The waitress was so nice and helpful. I got a pulled pork with fries, slaw and Mac and cheese. I would totally get again. The taste of smoked in the meat , Mac and cheese, and baked beans. Absolutely would go! Must go! read more

First, the food was delicious. Had the outside sammy, and it was fantastic. Wife had the brisket and salmon. She said it was great. The server was a ding dong. There was one other table occupied while we were there. She was more concerned about who was going to do what at closing time, rather than serving customers. (It was 4pm when we got there) Since it is a BBQ place we asked what are the best side dishes that they have....her answer, SALAD. Prices were wrong on their menu. Outside Sammie is $14.50 on the menu, $16 was charged.I wasn't going to argue about $1.50 with ding dong waitress. The ramp going up to the entrance was covered in ground in filth. You need to take a pressure washer to it once a decade. read more

Used to stop here when I was in town for work. Retired, haven't been here in 5 years. Stopped yesterday, got the sampler. It's even better than I remembered. Not much of a place to look at, but the best barbecue I've eaten anywhere in the country!!! Everything great about this place. I will make the 45 mile trip back monthly , my treat to myself. read more

Don't let the outside fool you. We were the first couple in the dining room on a Saturday at noon but it quickly filled up. I had a delicious pulled pork sandwich and my husband had a grilled chicken sandwich. We both enjoyed our meals and our server was fantastic! read more

5 star beans! Overalll was ok with smoked brisket and sides but also overall everything lacked in flavor....potato salad little bland and brisket little flavor (though tender) unless dipped in bbq sauce ...no crispy edges Service was not rude but was pretty much not present....honestly think there are too many young high school age people working there Wouldn't hurt to upgrade dining area a little read more

Excellent wings. The reviews state the BBQ is excellent, but only had the wings. You can get them fried or smoked. I tried 5 of each in BBQ and Golden BBQ. The Golden BBQ was amazing and the BBQ was good. I preferred the fried but the smoked were good too. The staff were all super nice. read more

The best, delish, never had a bad meal there yet!!!!. Service is good, it's not a palace, clean, old but it's fine

Oh my word. We're here for a friend's wedding so we are not local. We decided to try this place out. We got their wings. We're pretty loyal to a wing place in Virginia but this place blew it out of the water! The Cajun ranch smoked wings were what I hope is served in Heaven! This is a cute gem of a restaurant. I'm so glad we grabbed an early supper here! Friendly waitress and AMAZING food! read more

Sammy Sue's BBQ - Cajun Ranch Smoked Wings - Barbeque Near Me - Dover, Ohio

I was in town for work and saw this place. Anything with BBQ in the name grabs my attention. This place was busy at 5pm on a Thursday as well. I was greeted in a prompt friendly manner and service was friendly and timely. I got the BBQ sampler because why not. The meat did not have a strong smoke flavor (which I prefer) but the texture and flavor were both very good. The ribs were just under fall off the bone and were meaty. The brisket was a little bland but it was lean which I prefer. Pulled pork is chopped fine. The big winner were the smoked wings. The creamy sweet habanero really compliments the smoked flavor. Sides were also above average (mac n cheese and slaw). Baked Beans had a bit to broad of mixed beans for me, the only thing I didn't finish. The wings were so good, I got an order to go which was a discount for Thursday wing night. I would definitely come back. read more

Great food. Nice staff. I was in town for a golf weekend. This place has good prices and nice reviews. read more

I had a craving for ribs. 15 minutes later, I picked up a half rack with baked beans and coleslaw for under 20. The baked beans honestly stole the show. Best I've had. I would have appreciated more sauce on the ribs. Overall, quick, delicious, quality bbq. read more

Solid BBQ with reasonable prices and nice drink selection. Best for snacks wings and drinks based on our single experience. Avoid the brisket (maybe a rough go on our night?) Must try: Smoked wings! Juicy, tender with great sauces. These were stellar. Sweet hot were surprisingly good. MacNCheese Ribs: tender but not soggy, fall-off-bone, great flavor Appetizers Service: Initially seated in an undersized table but quickly reseated. Our server was pleasant, but left guests without their drinks and overall the service was fragmented including the arrival of the food despite a single order to the kitchen. Seemed almost understaffed to manage our 7 top Beer: Solid selection including great selection of local meades. We tried the elderberry which had great flavor, and was very reasonably priced. Only bottles of beer; no taps. All fairly priced. Daily specials. Food: Overall hit and miss. Fried pickles were well done Barbecue chips loaded were well done; questionably too much brown sugar Brisket was below average and dry despite being thicker cuts. Sauce served with it as overly sweet to multiple palates. It was... disappointing. Ribs were unanimously enjoyed. Well smoked well sauced; had that perfect tone where it fell off the bone, but wasn't mushy Smoked wings were amazing. We tried the spicy blu cheese, mango habanero and sweet hot. I usually don't enjoy the sweet hot style, but found them to be my favorite. Some liked the pulled pork, others less. Burgers were solid. The sauce on the Firehouse was excellent! Sides: Mac and cheese above average! Fries were fresh and well seasoned Baked beans overall good Red potato salad was good; seemed homemade and fresh... wasn't super flavorful. Coleslaw average; could have fallen out of the local grocery store's deli (and likely did) Atmosphere: Basic, quaint and felt like a real BBQ place (overall in a good way). Some of booth seats were a touch shabby. read more

Really GREAT local BBQ restaurant and bar. Some of the best ribs I've EVER eaten. Ever. Ever. Ever. Outstanding baked beans. Good brisket. Strong, cheap drinks (full liquor bar). Friendly servers. Could do better (meant constructively) - the redskin potato salad was lame and tasteless; find another recipe. And the onion rings were a little too greasy; turn up the heat on your fryer. After 2 straight days of Amish buffet meals, it was definitely worth the 15 mile drive to Dover to eat and drink at Sammy Sue's. Loved it. Excellent. We'll be back... Soon...! :-) read more

I saw a picture floating around Facebook of Sammy Sue's Mac and cheese burger, and it looked out of this world. I decided to give it a shot earlier this week. It was so good....that I got it again the next day. ‍ The burger was perfectly cooked, as was the pork. The flavor in each component was uniquely delicious, yet they worked together so well. The fries are delicious fair style fries. I was also amazed at the fact that the food still tasted fresh even after about an hour. How did it not get soggy? Wizardry. On top of the great food, the service was so friendly, and the portions are huge for the price. I will certainly be coming back frequently. read more

It is a nice place for lunch. Every Thursday is wing day - try the smoked wings. Yummy

Some of THE best BBQ in the area. When you are ready for a change from the everyday barbecue offered in town, make a point to stop in at this amazing eatery. The chicken salad is TO DIE FOR!! read more

Great food at low prices. Passing thru found this on yelp so we gave it a go. I had three bone ribs with baked beans and mixed steamed vegetables. The baked beans alone were worth the price of the meal. Probably the best I've ever had anywhere. Just outstanding. The ribs were very good as well. The steam veggies I could've done without, they needed something, butter, salt, something. My wife had a salad, can't remember which one but she said it was outstanding. We also had the fried pickles appetizer. We felt they were bland, definitely required some kind of dipping sauce which they had. Typically I eat them without dipping them, but I could not do it with these. We plan to come back to this area more and we will definitely give this restaurant another visit. read more

Delicious! Most everything made in house, from scratch. Pleasant and welcoming staff. No wonder that folks travel just to eat here!

Great flavorful bbq meats and side dishes! We like it because some of the sides are gluten free as is the meat and sauce! read more

Sammy Sue's is a local BBQ place with the best wing options. I love trying out the special sauces. The BBQ chips are addictive, and every menu item is so good! We order from here time and time again! read more

The smoked wings are very tasty but be sure to order them fried. We had them the first time smoked & fried and they were delicious. We came back a second time and forgot to order them fried, definitely not as good as the crispy fried smoked version. read more

The wings here are amazing! The best ones to get are the golden barbecue smoked wings. I have sent so many people to this restaurant because the food is great! I've never had bad service. Just a great place for some great food. read more

I'd give a 10 star if I could! Always stop in when I visit town. Best bbq chicken sandwich in town and I can never pick a side, so I order a few! Great service and the ownership loves the community!!! read more

We had takeout from here. The barbecue was DELICIOUS!! This is one of my fav restaurants in our town

Sammy's is the absolute BEST for BBQ! Their wings come in multiple flavors and either smoked or fried. My favorite is the pulled pork sandwiches with the "fair fries." Their baked beans are unbelievable! The decor inside could use some help, but the food will blow you away. Service is prompt and friendly. read more

10/10 recommend when visiting Amish country but you want a cocktail with dinner. Everything was delicious! We had a big group and started out with fried pickles, pretzels, and mozzarella stick. The pretzels with beer cheese were a 10/10. The pickles were fresh and so good. We shared a sampler with 3 meats, Mac and cheese, coleslaw, and beans. Everything was so delicious I've never been more mad I got full quick and couldn't eat more. I should have taken pictures but I was starving after the drive. read more

Had them cater our son's wedding in Dover. What wonderful food and great staff. I would recommend this place for a bite to eat and also for a large event! 5 stars read more

Out of towner her for a repeat visit. The food is very good again. I got the BBQ sampler plate. Its way too much food for me. The brisket is fantastic and served as huge chunks. The pulled pork very good. The ribs werr tasty, but not exactly fall off the bone. I tried a bit garlic sauce on the wings. The wings were cooked well, but didn't care much for that sauce. The Cole slaw was very good as was the macaroni. Baked beans good, but a little on the dry side. Highly recommended above average food,. The BBQ meats are great. read more

Sammy Sue's BBQ - The sampler plate. Way too much food for one person. - Barbeque Near Me - Dover, Ohio

After being in the car for over 10hrs on our drive back from a great vacation, we decided to trust the reviews for some BBQ. WOW! This place holds true to the reminder, "never judge a book by its cover." The food did NOT disappoint. 4 of us shared 2 samplers and we had more than enough food. Do NOT sub out the Mac and cheese! It's sooooo creamy and delish! The meat in the ribs just fell off and melted in your mouth. Brisket was perfectly cooked and the pulled pork adequately sauced without drowning in it. We will be dreaming of the cornbread for a long time to come. Our waitress was very accommodating with all of our questions as first timers and very attentive. It's rare to have amazing food that leaves the entire table moaning, "mmmmm this is soooo good" and great service in one place, but Sammy Sue's hit both nails on the head! Way to go! read more

I was visiting Dover and wanted to eat somewhere local. We happened upon Sammy Sue's BBQ and decided to stop in and, y'all, this is the ~best~ bbq I have ever had! I had the pulled pork sandwich, coleslaw, and fries with a sweet tea. The employees were so friendly and the service was great. If I lived closer I would eat here every day. I can't wait to go back! read more
