The food is bad. The service is bad. The bartender is awful. If you'd like some chicken soup, I really hope you like red/pink chicken. Just the thought of it is nauseating. read more

The food and service was just like I always remembered, it was a warm and cozy atmosphere. Love the baked stuffed shrimp...my favorite. My daughter is a vegetarian and loves the choice of seafood. They have a great salad bar too! I can't wait to go back! read more

I loved the water. I got the Grilled chicken sandwich. The bun was soggy, the chicken was weird, I wouldn't recommend. The French fries were soggy and some were frozen. Not what I was expecting. read more

5 Stars for Gretta especially! Love sitting in her section (bar area). I have tried a wide range of items from this place and I have never been dissatisfied with my meal. I work in the hospitality industry and I really cannot think of a complaint. Some items I enjoy; the salad bar, the clam chowder, the baked stuffed shrimp, the veal parm, broiled scallops, turkey club. I have been coming here with my family for years even before it was Sam's and we will keep on coming back! read more

What a great experience! We had a large birthday party of 14 people on a busy Saturday night. There were quite a few parties that were there waiting in the entrance and the hostess was very nice and let us sit at the table before the whole party showed up. Due to the birthday boy (He's 55!) not being able to count correctly when the reservation was made, we had an additional 4 guests that showed up and of course the table was only set for 14 and we needed 18! Within a few minutes the manager (who never lost her smile and checked on us multiple times during the evening...I'm sorry I didn't get your name!) politely asked another couple sitting near us if they would please allow her to move their table over a little (they did) so we could have another table added to our huge table to accommodate the 4 people standing there. Our waiter Shane, was phenomenal. He was professional, affable, funny and full of suggestions for those on the fence as to what to order. (Don't lose him...he could easily make tons of $$ working at any of the high end restaurants in Providence). Other wait staff pitched in when needed (helping run food from the kitchen, watering the table, helping to clear glasses and dishes) and that's a sign of management that really cares...when you encourage your staff to work as a team and the priority is service and hot food, not just turning over tables, everyone benefits! As a restaurant professional for the past 40 years, I was more than a little bit wary about having one server for a party of 18 people, but Shane was right on top of things throughout the whole meal. We made it a little more difficult for him because out of the 18 people, at least half asked for separate checks. That was no problem for him! He thanked us for asking at the beginning rather than having to dissect the bill at the end of the meal. He made sure that everyone had their drinks just the way they wanted them (a few were not, but they were fixed immediately...not his fault) and then he took everyone's appetizer and dinner orders. A couple of people switched their seats after he took the order (which can really screw up a server on such a large party when it comes to making sure everyone gets the right dish without yelling "Who gets the onion soup?" to all 18 people!). It didn't faze him! Even before everyone was seated, if we asked for a glass of water, it was there immediately and fresh Italian bread was on the table right away! The salad bar was good (personally I am not really a communal salad bar fan, but it looked clean and had all the usual choices and a few other different items, so it was fine), and Shane timed the appetizer and dinner courses and cleared the table perfectly. The food was hot...presented nicely...and all 18 people had their dinners within 7 to 10 minutes of each other which is so important! It sucks if your the last one served your entrée and more than half the table is done with their dinner(s) already. Every dish looked delicious and everyone (as far as I know) thoroughly enjoyed their choices. Some asked for substitutions and they were easily accommodated. I had the beef minestrone soup, which was hot and full of stock (just the way I like it), and for my entrée I had the Yankee Pot Roast with mashed potatoes and carrots. The meat was fork tender and I used the last of the bread to sop up the gravy! By the time we were done with dinner, the rest of the patrons in and around the dining room had left and we pretty much had the room to ourselves, which lent itself to the group getting a little rowdy, bawdy and loud with coffee and after dinner drinks! One of the busboys (Joe?) came by and we asked him to take some pictures of the party. No problem, as he climbed up into empty booths to get the best vantage point and to fit everyone in the photo! Shane brought over some fellow staff members and (I think it was complimentary, but who cares if it wasn't?) a dessert with a lit candle and we all sang happy birthday! Shane took very little time getting everyone's check(s) straightened out and processed and we all gave him a big round of applause as we put our coats on to leave. He took the time to shake hands and even gave a couple of hugs as we were leaving. We had a lot of laughs with him and he is a true asset to your company. We will be back. Thanks for your help in making my friends birthday celebration a big success! read more

Well I'm left pretty angry and very hungry after purchasing a nine dollar buffalo chicken sandwich from Sam's which ended up being a complete joke. Sandwich looked completely sloppy upon being received, there was several pieces of lettuce and sloppy tomatoes (which were not advertised on menu) , covering the overcooked and under seasoned and borderline buffalo sauce less chicken breasts. When I tried to bite into the sandwich, both of the chicken breasts basically slid out of the buns , it was a mess..Thanks for nothing Sam's, definitely will not be returning here.... I mean come on a buffalo chicken sandwich that should be easy. read more

Ordered 3 baked stuffed lobsters for take out, the worst ever. It looked like they removed the meat from the tail. Replaced with 3 scallops. Lots of cracker stuffing, no meat only in flaws. Called and complained and got nowhere. First and last time or us. read more

Arrived 2 hours prior to closing and we were treated like we arrived 2 minutes before. Hostess gave dirty looks food was rushed, cold, and horrible. They should not advertise their hours if they wish to close earlier than what's documented based on occupancy. read more

had a broiled seafood dinner there on a Saturday night. it was dried out and the stuffie had a strange texture and taste. it was inedible. we could not converse with each other as a singer was performing in the bar area, and he did not take a break the entire time we were there. the noise level was awful. the salad bar had several empty or very low-filled containers. they have been going downhill for a while. we have been going there for over 30 years and it definitely is not as good as it used to be. read more

Salad bar and bread were good. Both were fresh and tasty. The entrees on the other hand were terrible. I had eggplant parm. I've never had eggplant parm with a big scoop of ricotta cheese in the middle. It was not appetizing and lukewarm. My husband had the Yankee pot roast. It was not fork tender and again lukewarm. We would not eat here again. read more

After my boyfriend moved to Warwick a month ago, we've made a trip to Sam's Inn probably once a week since then, whether its just for a beer or a sit down meal. No matter what time of day or day of the week, the wait staff is incredibly friendly, service is great and the food is some of the best, I recommend Sam's Inn to anyone who lives around the area who hasn't tried it. We're quickly becoming regulars :) read more

I thought there had been renovations inside and sadly I don't think there were any. We were in the mood for comfort food & a quick meal, this fit the bill. Baked scrod was good & the draft beer pure tasting indicating clean taps. The place was packed & everyone eating, priced fairly. For a quick hit, not bad. read more

Haven't been here for a few years. Wow is it great again. Amazing food very reasonable price. Lunch or dinner great meal. I can't wait to come back. I had the lamb my friend an Italian combo. Both were great. Fantastic server. Thank you Sam's. read more

What a nice meal we enjoyed at Sam's Inn. We were seated promptly and with a smile. The menu is huge, lots of specials. Our drink orders were taking promptly. I enjoyed a great Cosmo. My husband a diet soda. With our drinks, a basket of Warm Italian bread was delivered. So good. Our server had a huge party but never made us feel neglected. The salad bar was fresh and I have been to a much more expensive restaurant lately where salad dishes were warm. These plates were crisp cold. Our server told us to go up as often as we wished. Alot of choices too. My prime rib, end cut was delicious. Huge, full of flavor. Sides were perfectly cooked. My husband's chicken Parmigiana was so tasty and enough for two people. The server chatted with us for awhile. The Hostess told us on the way out she hopes we come back. We will! read more

Went there on 01/22/16 for my retirement dinner with three friends. Our waitress was on the ball with a great personality. Our food was very, very good and plenty of it, we all took leftover boxes home. They have a big salad bar, everything you'd ever want. Our drinks were made right. I could go on and on, but you really should check out Sam's Inn in Warwick, we were super pleased. read more

We went to Sams Inn for the first time. We went to see Cliff Myers. The night was great. The food and people were also. Love following cliff. read more

This used to be a fantastic restaurant. The quality of the food has gone down over the years. Saturday night a friend and I went for dinner. One prime rib and one filet mignon. The prime rib was terrible ordered rare and came medium. Today the leftovers made a pretty good soup. So it was not all that bad. The Flaming young was okay however came with a demi glaze on the side. Thankfully I ordered it on the side. This was not a demi glaze it was some undercooked flour mess with a few mushrooms in it. Good it was on the side so it didn't ruin the meat. The butternut squash was over-the-top excellent. The broccoli was excellent. Both potatoes were undercooked and flavors ice. Needless to say we did not get dessert. Being a Saturday night there was entertainment in the bar. This permeated all through the restaurant. Off key and far too loud so that it was hurt in the far reaches of the restaurant and you are unable to carry on a conversation. This Saturday night it seems more like a trailer park then a restaurant. I guess we won't be going back. read more

The food was good. The service was atrocious!! I asked three times for a glass of water before I got it myself. I also had to get my own utensils. Will not be referring or returning. read more

Great salad bar, atmosphere and the best eggplant Parmesan around! Prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get! Delicious drinks at the bar as well. read more

The food was just OK, not much flavor and visually unappealing. The service was NOT so good. First time there and when we walked in the hostess and waitress looked our way then continued to have their conversation. When we turned to walk away, another Hostess came up to seat us. Waitress was not very attentive, almost to the point of rude and rushed. The place was nearly empty. Almost no ambience, seen better days. NOT returning and NOT recommending. read more

Worst experience ever. I took my family there last night and it was awful. The waitress was amazing, but the manager was awful. I ordered linguini with clam sauce. The pasta was bland and the sauce was bland. Not only that, but they out lobster in the sauce without putting it on the menu or informing you when you ordered it. I am deathly allergic to lobster. I took one taste and I was swelling instantly. The waitress was wonderful about it and was very sweet. The manager not only didn't come over for about 15 minutes after the incident, when I was already swollen and could barely speak, but she was ABSOLUTELY HORRIFICALLY RUDE. I WILL NEVER GO BACK!!!!!!!! She blamed it on me and basically yelled at me for it. She never once apologized nor did she take any responsibility for her restaurant. She told me I should know better to tell restaurants my allergies. However, for something that people have severe allergies to, like lobster, it should be on the description of the menu. Never ever again. The food was mediocre for the rest of my family. Not kid friendly at al. I had to ask for crayons, coloring book, and a booster seat, even though I told the staff prior I had a young child. Never again. AWFUL!!! read more

We have dined at "The Inn" for many years both "Bassett's and the new Sam's". On Sunday night, after a very busy day installing a new water heater and cleaning up the mess from the old water heater we dicided to get take-out from "Sam's". We asked for Clam bellies and we were told they were still available so we placed two orders. When I picked I asked the young hostess if they were the bellies and not strips and she assured me they were. When we opened the containers at home what we saw was some "bits & pieces" of what looked liked over fried, in old oil, left-over clams from the bottom of the Friolator. I was too tired to have to go back and start over so we put this in the garbage and opened a can of tuna. What is wrong here is this was not an oversight. The cook could have 86ed the clams and we would have been happy with something else, but instead sent out an inferior product, but full price was paid. I went back monday and told my story to an elderly hostess. She was very nice and said she was sorry. We can no longer trust "Sam's Inn" kitchen and we will never return. read more
