    This food was so good!! The service was amazing- quick and so fun! It was very clean, served large sodas and teas, and several sauces on the table. Would come back again.

    I'm from Houston , I was in town for some business and decided to check out this place because of the reviews and the pictures. We were welcomed and seated upon entering. Super nice southern hospitality from the workers , and super fast service! We ordered the fried pickles, fried mushrooms and the #17 combo which was fish and shrimp and let me just say, this food was amazing! Very good and delish! And that's coming from a picky eater as well! If you're ever in town and want some good souther style seafood , make sure you stop by Sam's, you won't regret it!

    Take out fried gizzards.

    New place with Southern style fried chicken and seafood mostly. Came because girlfriend recommended the fried oyster po-boy and said they had chicken livers and gizzards. I ordered that and a diet Coke. When they were checking the order with the cook they had run out of livers and offered double gizzards instead. I waited not long for the frying. These were pretty good, I like my batter a bit more seasoned. It came with sides of cornbread, hush puppies, and green beans which were good.

    I had a shrimp po-boy and fiancee had shrimp dinner. Both were delicious. Spicy but not too spicy. Good service.

    Hole in the wall place that you can't even see from the street!, but what a great gem tucked into a…read morelittle mini-mall with discount shopping all around! My daughter had mentioned she heard this place had great pho so we looked it up and they happen to be open. It was good timing as the owner was about to go on a six week vacation to Vietnam. It's located inside the mini mall and you can't see any signage from the street but just walk into the area that says Rose's and you will find a store that reminds me aldi touch between a dollar store Ollie's. Just to the right inside the door you will find T's Sandwiches. No frills place here that is very clean but simple. This is certainly not the place for fast food, indeed many people called in and came by about 15 minutes later, only to still wait a few minutes. But nobody complained and it seemed like a normal part of the process. And everyone we saw come through we could tell were repeat customers who wished him well on his trip. Aptly named, the place really does some great American style sandwiches. My wife got the club and it was just fantastic, fries that came with it were amazing according to my college teenager who waited for my wife to finish and then devoured the rest of them. I asked the guy what the best order was and he said the soup (pho). My two girls and between us got the meatball, beef, and chicken soups. I thought the flavor was fantastic. This particular style has the grill flavor in it as he is cooking the meats on the grill and then infusing that into he soup for a wonderful, soulful flavor that I haven't had anywhere else and would also recommend for others. We also got the fried egg rolls and shrimp spring rolls, both of which were good. Slight word of warning as when he's cooking you can see smoke coming through the air and out to the open mall area so just be aware if you have allergies. The trick is certainly to put an order in and pick it up as he makes each order as it comes in and at times people waited for ten minutes just before he was able to get around and assist them...but again not one complaint! If you are in town and want a pleasant surprise just a few blocks off campus, meet up here. All that food, with bottled drinks added, came out to $60 which I thought was a great deal! This place would be worth a diversionary trip if you are in the area.

    T Sandwiches is a hidden gem - a delicious Vietnamese restaurant located just inside the "Roses"…read moreentrance. Highly recommend the Pho (noodle soup). My wife and I liked the beef pho, and my daughter prefers the chicken pho. She says the chicken is tender & tasty with no fat. She also likes the spicy chicken fried rice, which is not actually spicy at all, but has a good flavor.

Makes you feel like you're in a Texas country town for sure! My daughter and I were in Nacogdoches for college visit to SFA and we looked this place up in the hopes that we would find something different than a normal chain stop. It certainly is different and was exactly what you might imagine. Everything on the menu is decently priced and it seems that Tuesday is the place to be with short stack specials for $2 along with the weekday breakfast special at $6.95 On of my daughter's favorite meals is chicken fried steak and what better place to try that than a local diner??? Unfortunately it fell below expectations. The portions were quite large, enough that we could have just split a plate. The idea of sausage gravy on top of the mashed potatos and steak sounds heavy but also potentially fantastic. However both the gravy and the fry were quite under seasoned. I was able to fix mine with some cholula sauce and some salt and pepper was a quick fix as well for my daughter. The side of green beans and carrots she got were actually pretty good so perhaps there was just a disconnect in flavor at the meat station this day. I did very much enjoy the side salad I chose instead of the veggie medley. Came with home-made ranch which brought me back to my East Texas family gatherings with the freshly shaken ranch.....it was great. The portion size was pretty fair value at $13. Like I said we could have just split it between us. Very hit or miss flavors leaves this at a 3-stars for me. But no doubt some of the nicest folks in town work here.
