Friendly staff and they much better than Dunkin. I had to try 4 of their donuts before trying anymore of their bakey goods. I will definetly be back. read more

Life long customer since my grandparents would buy these meat and spinach fatayers! Nothing on this planet can compare to the meat with labne fatayer! Haven't had them in quite some time but I'm due for a few dozen. read more

Great place!!! Very friendly & informative staff & Meat pies are amazinggggg!i would definitely recommend this place to others (:

The Syrian pies are always good but most times the cashiers aren't that friendly. I guess you cannot expect much from a busy bakery.

This is best place to get Lebanese meat pies!!!! They are made fresh daily. And simply amazing!! Hot,fresh,and delicious. They also have amzing Chourico pies. Best spot around for them. read more

Best meat pies and spinach pies in Fall River. Also great assortment of other Lebanese specialty foods. Family operated bakery serving this city for decades. I remember eating these pies as a young child and I continue to eat Sams in my 60's. Good people serving the community with reasonably priced food. Highly recommended. read more

A Great Sunday Morning Treat! :) Ever since my co-worker brought some to work and was kind enough to have me try one of these meat pies I was immediately all about meat pies! Sams Bakery is a local legend! Since I have rotating shifts I love coming here when I get out of work on Sunday mornings and just binge eat as many meat pies as I could! LOL. Don't forget to wash it down with a bottle of their Coffee Milk! Awesome, awesome, awesome spot! check it out! read more

I'm a 64 year old man that has been going to Sams since I was 15 . In 1990 I moved to Fla. and every time I go back up north , my very first stop is Sams Bakery on Flint street. I get about 1 or 2 dozen meat pies and other things so I can have meat pies all week . Then when its time to leave I get 2 dozen ( cold ) meat pies to bring back to Fla. If you order them to travel they will have them wrapped and cold , because if you travel with hot ones they will get to soft to hold .So I thank them very much for giving this info to me . I can eat these delicious meat pies 7 days a week ......They are the best... Thanks Sams Bakery read more

THE BEST. There is no comparison. Hidden away in side roads of Fall River this little authentic gem will change your life. Meat pies, spinach pies, open face pies they got it all and it all tastes like amazing. Try the meat pie with yogurt it's got a sharp creamy sourness that is to die for. Been eating Sams since I was 3 and do not plan on stopping, ever. They even carry Arrudas Dairy Farm milk, which is the best around as well. 6 stars from me read more

So for my very first review, I had to pick Sam's Bakery and give it major props as it has been making my weekend mornings for as long as I can remember. Sam's specialty is Lebanese meat pies, which you can also get with a variety of fillings including, spinach, meat and yogurt, and of course chourico. They also have open faced pies which are equally delicious. Sam's is open bright and early, and the line form right away. I always have the meat pies for breakfast, as do many Fall River natives, but they are perfect any time of the day. Sam's is only down one star, because they close pretty early too. The pies are reasonably priced, but make sure you get a bunch as each pie is a single serve. For those who have no idea what I am talking about, Lebanese meat pies are soft, doughy, pita-like triangles of delicousness, and while a few places in Fall River offer them, Sam's is hands down the best. If you are every traveling through, make sure you stop at Sam's; there isn't quite anything like a Lebanese meat pie from Sam's and once you have one you will be hooked. read more

When I was a kid growing up in Fall River, I just thought that Sam's Lebanese spinach and meat pies were the way all Lebanese pies were. I took the deliciousness for granted. Only when I moved away did I slowly realize that nothing else ever measured up. I went to various bakeries... sure, some were good, but overall they tended to be heavy, doughy, or greasy... or just not delicious. I remembered the pies of my childhood... could I have elevated them in memory to an unlikely and unrealistic status? Could I possibly make them myself? I did a web search for fatayer, and was kinda floored by the results. Everyone was talking about Sam's Bakery in Fall River. Lebanese people were raving about how the pies were better than the ones in Lebanon, or better than the ones made by their grandmothers. Bloggers were waxing romantic about their perfect blend of spices. Cooks were trying to recreate the Sam's recipe... Next time I visited my dad, I insisted that we go back to Sam's. And the pies were everything I remembered. I've renewed the family tradition, and now every time we visit, I ask my dad to bring some. This past weekend, after stuffing my face (4 pies for breakfast? No problem!) I even brought some back in my luggage to NYC, for lunch the next day. If only they had an outpost here! On a practical note, they bake in the morning. They're only open from around 6am till around 2pm, and sometimes they sell out. It's always busy, and it's takeout only. read more

One of my favorite places to hit up on a Saturday morning. The meat pies are cooked to perfection. They might be greasy, but who cares! Also, for a Lebanese bakery, their chourico pies are to die for. The open face cheese pies are amazing (my wife's favorite)! Also, did I mention that everything is cooked fresh that day; It's still warm! Sam's gets very busy, so get there in the AM before they run out of supply. read more

Remember in the 60's & 70's the fad of getting as many people into a phone booth as possible. That fad is alive and well every Saturday morning at Sam's Bakery. Many people inside, and outside always a line. But why all the commotion ? How about the best spinach and meat pies on the South Shore of Ma. Lebanese bread, Syrian pockets, and unbelievable pita chips too. There secret ? A great staff and a brick oven many years old and responsible for many people sporting a wide grin when leaving this place. Even if you don't need any baked products, stop in and grab some pita chips and you'll find out why so many people call Sam's "the gem of Fall River" read more

Sam's is a good 30+ minutes from my house, but it's an hour in the car well spent. The meat pies truly are the best, hands down. My other fave is the open spinach and cheese. The prices are beyond reasonable - less than $2 for most items. Oh, and don't forget to grab a bag or two of delish Syrian bread! read more

Who would have thought a great Lebanese bakery would exist in Fall River?? But, Sam's definitely is. It had been years since I was last there, but lately I started craving their meat pies and, lo and behold!, they still didn't disappoint! Actually, maybe I'm wrong but they even look BIGGER than I remember.... all for just $1.25/pie??? The aroma of all those spices mixed in, I almost couldn't wait to get home before having a pie. A great place to get a great deal on some authentic, Middle eastern food. read more

5*,Lebanese bakery! Always went here early in the morning as a visiting nurse-oh, about 12 years ago-grabbed about 1/2 dozen meat + spinach pies to have for my lunch, in my car near a Fall River park! Excellent food-the Syrian bread is the real deal, too ! Fantastic prices await you ....jw read more

I love sams bakery. This place is amazing the meat pies are so good. My husband loves the menich, an open face spinach an cheese. For me my favorite is the Leban meat pie it has a little yogurt in it which helps with the acidity. The Syrian bread is so good. You can call your orders in. Which is sometimes a good idea I've been there with the line out the door. So that alone tells you how good it is. If your in the area stop in you won't regret it read more

Love their meat and open cheese pies. Also, they are honest people. I lost my wallet here two weeks ago full of money and they returned it to the police station. All my money was still in the wallet untouched! read more

A gem among gems. Restores my faith in humanity, society and the universe. I'll take 10 cabbage. If I end up with two left by the time I get home, I'm doing well. You don't need me to tell you how great this place is, and great on so many levels. What you do need me to do is to tell you to get in the car. read more

Ok, apparently my "pack" celebrated meat pie yesterday with trips to Sam's and Hartley's. Sam's makes a fantastic Lebanese meat pie. Yum, yum, give me some! And....the pies freeze very nicely too. Oh, technique item, check out the menu before you get there. It's a bit chaotic, so know what you want before making it to the head of the meat pie line! read more

A friend recently moved to Fall River and inquired about good food options in the area. I cannot believe I forgot about Sam's Bakery. Sam's is a small, family owned and run Lebanese bakery. They offer a bunch of small "pies" made from folded bread (think softer Syrian wrap-ish) with fillings like spinach, meat, cabbage, Laban (meat and yogurt), or chourico (a Portuguese spicy sausage). They also have "open pies" unfolded with toppings like tomato and feta cheese. They offer other more daring flatbreads like maneesh and sweet sesame too, and all come in at under $2 each, so stock up (they won't last long). Also worth a note is the Syrian bread, which is as fresh as it gets (no dry, falling apart when making a sandwich here). Note: Sam's Bakery is cash and take out only, and keeps early hours. read more

Sam's Bakery has the best Lebanese meat pies in the United States- period. I don't know about Lebanon itself since I've never been there but I can't imagine any meat pie tasting better than Sam's. I've been coming here since I was a kid and I prefer the spinach and chorico pies over the traditional meat ones, but those are amazing too. A bottle of coffee milk, a couple of chorico pies and you've got the perfect Fall River meal. Get up early, make sure you have cash since they don't accept cards, and go get yourself enough cheap, tasty food to last a couple of days or to share with your soon to be amazed friends. read more

I've been on a Middle Eastern food kick for a while now, and Sam's Bakery has delicious food at an extremely inexpensive price point (less than $2 for a pie). Although Sam's does not have my favorite Lebanese/Syrian pie in the area (that prize goes to a nearby competitor), Sam's is still top notch for the price and you really can't complain. This is one of the top draws for a visit to Fall River for me, the baked goods here are freshly made and you can really taste the difference between what they sell here and grocery store bought. Great spot. read more

OMG.. Almost don't want to let everyone know bout this gem. Family owned for generations. Authentic yummy meat pies. A real treat

Absolutely delicious. Absolutely nostalgic. Nothing fancy in this place just the most delish Syrian pies your lips will ever eat. I love all of them but im a huge fan not just of the meat pie but the spinach,c hourico, and open faced cheese are my personal favorites!! read more

When I was a kid and my mom would get out of work early she would sometimes come home with two big bags full of fresh meat pies. It was the best surprise and I would devour them. They are addictive and sooo tasty. They havent changed and I'm glad. Their open pies are good too but the meat pies bring me back to my childhood! read more

Found out about Sam's thru one of my patients. One day he brought us these little spinach pies and I was amazed at what flavored. Today Was our 1st visit to this hidden gem, seeing we are from Rhode Island. Now we are hooked! Everything is delicious. Meat pies, spinach pies, tabouli, grape leaves and cheese pizza. Yummy.. Will be back. read more

My Family has been buying our syrian bread at Sams for over fifty years...it is a wonderful bakery in the Flint Section of Fall River, where my Mom was born... The food is drop dead gorgeous - I am going there Saturday to buy supplies for Easter - My family lived less than a mile from there - Cant wait for saturday!!!! Miss you Sitto xoxoxoxox read more

Saturday morning 10am,,crazy busy. .that's normal. ..everyone wants these delicious hot pies...the star is imo, the feta & tomato. ...don't bring them home, just eat them in the parking lot :-) read more

I grew up on Sam's! Since I was small, my family got Sam's pies every week and the delicious smell of the store is nostalgic. I moved to California 5 years ago, but always stop by for my pies when I'm visiting. Delicious spinach pies and meniche. Cute little family run business. It's a hidden treasure in Fall River! read more

I love this place! Nice cheap prices and so delicious! I love the meat and open cheese pies the best! Only downside is they don't accept debit/credit cards and I never carry cash on me. There is however a bank five right down the street. So you would have to make that extra stop. read more

It's as good as it gets if you like middle eastern food. The meat pies, spinach and cheese pie are great. If your look for Syrian bread the thin bread is great. Hope you enjoy a taste of the Middle East. read more

"The queue is a clue to the value and quality of this Lebanese bakery in Fall River" Before you even reach Sam's Bakery in Fall River you can see the cars trying to park and then the long lines of people of all ages waiting to get their morning fresh baked goods out of the ovens. The warmth, the aromas of pita breads, the spinach and feta cheese pies, the thyme and sumac and onion flat breads, the meat pies and sweet breads glazed with rosewater and honey are reasonably priced. They have Lebanese spices, grains and refrigerated yogurt, cheese and salads. Bring a picnic basket or box. You will fill it. The family members behind the counter are familiar faces who serve the greater community with brisk efficiency as pies are whisked from the ovens and cooling racks to the counter for you. On the way out you may encounter a Portuguese religious procession dressed in costume and bearing statues and roses on their way to the church on the hill. read more

Here is my review and caveat: Sams is sooo good that even if you have the worst wheat and yeast allergy it is worth cheating! No lie. AND...you know you are truly head over heals in love when you let someone know about this place. It is THAT kind of place. My former person of interest found Sams one day (he is a northshore boy) and now he thinks its his place! In the breakup I keep Sams and you lose, buddy! read more

Used to come here all the time for the meat pies. Absolutely delish, very friendly staff.

Mmmmmmm. Meat pies. Hot damn I love this place! For $3 you can go to heaven for 10 minutes.

Must try cheese and meat pies (opened and closed)! You can grab them fresh out of the oven, if not they will warm them up for you to devour right on site. Hole in the wall in the middle of a residential area, without word of mouth or reviews like this, I would've never known about this gold mine. Staff is beyond nice & friendly! read more

I've been going since I was a kid.. and it has never changed. This place is the BEST. The absolute BEST pita you will ever have. A true gem of Fall RIver. read more

Love their Syrian spinach pies and their goat meat pies !!

Everything you've heard is true. My friend put me on; he's from providence and i'm about equal ways away in the opposite direction, I wasn't mad... I was just disappointed in myself I hadn't heard of sams until then. If it's your first time going I hope that you can get a meat pie while its fresh, but you will come back either way I can promise you that. Try your best to get here early as possible, nothing else like it in the river. Simplicity is key at this spot. read more
