    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.

    The food was wonderful. I had the recommended catfish, onion rings, coleslaw, cup of gumbo…read more Everything was delicious. Wife had green beans and a burger with fries. Finished with the homemade banana pudding.Excellent! Take a friend.

    What a special find this was!!!!!! Aaron at the Hampton Inn in Nacogdoches gave us a pretty…read moreimpressive review of Clear Springs and went on and on about the onion rings. Onion rings are one of the hub's favorites so off we went. The restaurant is located inside an old railroad warehouse and it has a very rustic atmosphere. You can feel the history ooze from the building's pores as you slide into your seat and get ready to take in the nice sized menu selections. I had a few items picked out from different sections and Zyra our waitress helped me make the best choice. We started out with the onion rings with ranch dressing and we DEVOURED THEM! We both chose the blackened catfish and were both very pleased. The fillets were perfectly cooked with nice seasoning and topped with pico de gallo. The pico added some much welcome acidity and zestiness to the dish. I ordered the pinto beans and crispy new potatoes and they were all superb. We enjoy stopping in Nacogdoches and soaking up the history and great food that the oldest town in Texas has to offer! We will definitely return to Clear Springs. There are way too many items on that menu that I need to enjoy!
