I left Fall River 12 years ago, and one of my biggest regrets is no longer being able to pop in to Sam's Bakery for some of their beautiful pita bread, meat pies (open and closed). If you're not frequenting Sam's, you're doing it wrong. read more

While I've been enjoying Sam's bakery items for decades, today was the first time that I've visited the location in person. Typically my grandparents or mother make the trek to Fall River to pick up their fresh made bread, spinach and meat pies, but today I volunteered to make the drive there myself. While the building is large, the 'shop area' is small, consisting of an L shaped counter, a few shelves with some pantry staples, and two refrigerated cases with beverages, yogurt, and cheeses. There was a steady stream of foot traffic while I was there, people mostly popping in to get a few pies for lunch or stocking up on bread. The line moved quickly and efficiently and we were in and out in no time at all. Their pricing is reasonable and the quality of the food is excellent. We spent just about $100 today, but came home with dozens of spinach and meat pies to share and enough bread to stock our freezer for a few weeks. Definitely worth the drive. Pro tip: order one day ahead for 'party size' spinach and meat pies - a smaller version of their traditional pies - which are perfect for any party or family get together. read more

What a great place! I have been eating Sam's Lebanese pies and Syrian bread since I was a child. I have not been in a while but I was wanting to have some so I recently went to fulfill the craving. As usual, Sam's Bakery knocked it out of the park. My go to choices are the meat pie and the open faced cheese. I mean how do you go wrong with feta?! It's my favorite cheese and I want it on everything. I also purchase the Syrian/pita bread for my hummus and tabouli. Everything I have ever tried is always good and super fresh. The staff hustles in that store and always serve with a smile no matter how busy they are. The parking is a little difficult and the place is busy so you have to be patient but it's well worth it. read more

Legends!! Meat pies, open cheese and chourico pies are my go to but so many other killer options.

I haven't had Sam's spinach pies in decades. A recent vacation in the area and seeing Sam's on Yelp had me making a quick morning trip to load up. They are even better than I remembered- probably helped by the fact that they were just baked and still warm!! Soft bread, perfectly seasoned spinach - it's outstanding ! And a great value as well. 1 dozen spinach pies, 3 meat pies and a small package of Lebanese bread cost $30. I loaded up as I remember they freeze well. It's an old school spot - cash only with bakers hours . 5am- 2pm most days . read more

The only place that has the very best Lebanese meat pies, you can rom the city and you will not fine a better tasting meat pie like Sam. I've tried several places throughout the city and Sam is always number one. Of cause the other pies and breads are also the best. read more

Such delicious meat pies and the staff are great! I admire their hard work. I order from them for every party I have.

Loved everything every time. so many different varieties of everything. It's difficult to decide what I like most. The line may appear long but don't worry they move along quickly. Everyone working together like a well oiled machine see you soon read more

Went there for the first time. Not much to say other than I will be back. The servers were pleasant. My order was correct; best of all, my guests and I loved the food. Had the chorizo meat pie, the spinach pie, and the flatbreads with onions. I bought a dozen of each and some Tabouleh for $50--my kind of place. read more

Every type of pie is delightful. The opened face pies are also awesome. A very efficient process as well

I just finished two meat pies from Sam's, and then couldn't resist a chourico pie. My wife goes by some weekends and comes home with these delicious treats, plus some other baker items that are equally awesome, I'm just not sure what they are. I don't care. I love this stuff. Staff is great and the line moves fast. This place is a treasure! read more

Located inside an old brick building, this bakery makes authentic Lebanese bread. I walked into a small shop and ordered an open face meat pie, meat pie and what looks to be giant pita bread. Total came out to $6 and some change. My first thought was, how does this place stay in business. As I'm eating my breads, about 20 cars are in and out in a matter of minutes. Eating and hot is the only way to do it. The meat had a nice sour taste to it. Support small business. They're serving the community. read more

Absolutely love Sam's! Been going there for years and years now. Grew up in the city... moved to a nearby town... but still head to the city for Sam's. read more

The tastiest meat pies! The softest pita bread. The sweet ones are also to die for. Spinach and feta delicious too! Everything is wonderful. read more

Solid 4 stars simply because it's cash only and there's a limited menu. It's refreshing though that there's a non-portuguese choice in the city of Fall Reeve. The food I've tried includes meat pies and spinach with feta pies, which are my favorite. I definitely recommend checking this place out. Dont expect anything fancy! read more

This is a Fall River gem, especially if you enjoy ethic foods. Sams is known for being the best Lebanese bakery in the area. Their meat and spinach pies are heavenly. So are their menich, and open face fetal spinach ! They also sell chourico pies wrapped in pita bread. They also sell the best fresh pita bread. Always fresh and delicious! read more

Visited on 7/14/21 Sam's meat pies are well throughout the country, and really is a jumping popular bakery. They do not allow more than four people in at a time because of Covid, once you get in, the place is hopping with the girls, pulling the delicious products, out of the ovens, and waiting on the hungry patrons. The triangular shaped meat pies are so very savory, hot, and juicy, with the wonderful aromatic smell of spice (Za'atar possibly). They are a little greasy so be careful when you unwrap them once your back in your car, make sure you have some paper towels with you so you don't grease up your pants like I did. lol So glad I was able to enjoy this Fall River local delicacy. read more

The price is right at this cash-only bakery. I'm not sure if the serve anything sweet but their savory spinach pies and meat pies are spot on. Check them out! read more

Regarding food: I have been enjoying Sam's food for several years. Some too oily for my liking, but generally very tasty. Regarding Service: Here is where Sam's badly fails the test. I was at Sam's about 2 weeks ago to pick up some Syrian pocket bread. On Thursdays, Sam's is open from 7:30 am - 1 pm. When I arrived at 12:48 pm, there were two gentleman walking away from the bakery front door who informed us that they had just walked up to the front door and told us, "They slammed the door on us." I knocked several times, and received NO response. Another 2 people arrived hoping to pick up their items, and same response: NONE. I will not return to Sam's because they obviously have NO respect for their customers. I do not patronize any business who don't respect or value their customers. read more

Sam's bakery has been a tradition in my family for three generations now. Authentic, affordable, amazing food. I crave their open face spinach pies all the time!!! read more

I have been a customer of Sam's bakery for years. Although I tolerated the woman's abruptness who owned the bakery, today was the worst I have been treated by yet another employer. The woman at the register became rude once I told her I needed two separate orders. I spent more than 40 dollars and I won't be back. It's always a hectic environment but why not act pleased that so many people want your Lebanese food? Unbelievable! read more

The staff there is so friendly and helpful! The food there reminds me of back home in Türkiye, I love this bakery! I'd definitely recommend going and checking it out :) read more

Truly nothing like it! This little place is hidden in plain sight and I am sorry I hadn't noticed it sooner. Super cheap, so fresh and absolutely delicious. Don't judge a book by it's cover. When entering the bakery it's small, cramped and dingy, but the service is fast and flawless and the fresh backed pita pockets are best, hands down! read more

I love local and this place is a landmark ! I walked in and immediately got hungry. There were 4 woman behind the plexiglas and all smiling and laughing and I felt at home I ordered two " pizza pies " both feta and onion and something else and soooo delicious ! And of course a meat pie Menich chips like bagel chips only insanely different and crispy !!! Two kinds of olives One was Colossal And I left loving this cheap home made Dee lish place read more

Perfection totally awesome one of the best Lebanese bakeries that exist today. I have been going here for 20 years. They ROCK

This place is a local staple. Delicious spot to grab a treat for the office or surprise the family. My Dad would occasionally get us Sam's meat pies on Sundays. It was always a big hit. read more

Not to be missed. Fan forever. BUT....... Very brief, brusque, short customer service, all cash. Not for the shy. Give your cash fast! Or you won't be served. Not warm and friendly to say the least. Turns people off. Owner Grace, is a tough one. If not for the great food, no one would ever return. Despite the negatives, Best Lebanese bakery . You will not find better anywhere. read more

Best Lebanese food.....ever. It's a family place and my family has been going there for over 60 years and we love it I now live in Maryland and always fill my freezer with Sams Bakery read more

Very busy little bakery shop. Cash only Fast paced Delicious broccoli and cheese pitas read more

Can't believe what I witnessed today while waiting in line to pick up my weekly order. A woman was verbally attacked by 3 workers for writing a poor yelp review. In a store full of people! Instead of apologizing to the woman for her inconvenience and trying to rectify the problem. I heard the woman say she had been a customer for over fifty years and never had a complaint. Is this how loyal customers should be treated? Shame on Sam's Bakery. read more

Horrible service when the owner isn't around. Stopped in today on my break. Wasn't many in line. I kindly let a lady run out of line to "lock her car" and come back to order. She orders 150 worth of food picking this and that. Then let's her friend order after her. After they order she tries to ask if she can order one more thing. Not one worker said anything. Now I used to eat here a lot growing up and had not had meat pies in long time. The owner always ran the place great. I ended up frustrated and before getting police alerted I decided to walk off and let em know they lost a sale. I won't be getting or recommending anything from this place anymore. I guess this is what happens when your kind to rich old people. Hopefully she falls and breaks her hip later today and the workers can choke on a Dck. Horrible service!!! read more

Love the food hate the way the employees are getting yelled at 4/5 am i am a neighbor and get woken up pretty regularly with the owner screaming at his employees and it echos through the whole neighborhood. Kinda turns me off from going there. The cursing and being put down by your boss. read more

Been coming here for years. The best meat pies you will find anywhere. Staff is super friendly. I would give 10 stars if I could

It's been a long time since I have gone to Sam's bakery since the old man passed, and this is the last time. It's sad but his daughter that has taken over, is so rude to customers and yells at everyone. It took me a lot to keep my cool, but I get it she's not normal. The Lebanese recipes they use are so untraditional and there food is nasty. Learn to respect your customers or you won't be in business for long. Ireh bi kis Imik ya sharmouta ahbeh. read more

What a delight! Great breakfast, served at lunchtime! No parking, other than that perfect!
