The service was outstanding. We had a group of 35 people and everything went off without a hitch. It was very personable and accommodating. Parking was plenty and the average price per person is between 80 yo 115 per person.

The entire experience - decor, ambiance, food, service, etc. - was very well-executed. Sam's Steakhouse is the perfect place to go for all sorts of special occasions (family outings, date night, etc.).

Stopped in on a whim on a Thursday evening after being at Kutis nearby. Not very busy. Service was top notch and I honestly felt bad I stopped in for a more casual dinner than they are known for. The house salad with Mayfair dressing was delicious and really hit the spot! Really enjoyed the crab cakes, Louisiana Shrimp and big round toasted ravioli's. Will be back for a special occasion and order a steak because darn did they look good. And the potatoes!

The water is a little too wet. Everything about this place is great. Luke makes one of the best Bloody Marys in Saint Louis. Sam's is a true old time steakhouse. Great prime rib. Baked potatoes as big as your head. Great atmosphere. Live music in the bar. If you've never been, add to your to do list.

Wow this place was gorgeous walking into for the holidays! Christmas lights was a vibe! Came here with family for my bfs bday. We all got French style prime ribs and surf n turf. I personally like the cowboy ribeye more. Everything is big portions so worth the price. We got reservations so came in right when they opened Saturday at 5 but by 7 place was packed.

Great bar at Sam's.  Nice Bourbon selection.

Old school Steakhouse with an excellent staff both in the dining room and at the bar. Started at the bar for some nice cocktails, wanted a Calumet Bourbon, but ended up drinking something else. Moved to the dining room and we had the Prime Rib and a Fillet. Both done to perfection, both served with the paper wrapped Baked Potato. The bread and salad were both good, not great. A great experience for the old-time supper club feeling. I would feel great bring my kids or my grandparents here for any special occasion. We were walk-ins on a Tuesday night, and had no trouble getting a table, but when we left - every table was full. 2 people with drinks $140.

Crab Cake appetizer
Alisha V.

We had a lovely dinner at Sam's. All of the food was great and it had great service. It's a nicer restaurant with someone playing piano. For two people to have a 6 ounce fillet each, upgraded sides, salad, bread, an appetizer and a bottle of wine, it was about $200 total. So pricey, but nothing outrageous and probably less than some other steakhouses. Everything was great, but probably my favorite thing was the crabcake appetizer. And the warm bread that they brought to the table was amazing! Probably some of my favorite free bread I've ever had.

What a festive atmosphere! Sam's is decked out at Christmas time with very tasteful decor. So many white lights set a beautiful backdrop for dinner. We made reservations, walked right in and were seated. The service was excellent throughout the whole meal. Our drinks were never more than half empty. We started with the appetizer sampler. The toasted ravioli were large, circular and very flavorful. Shrimp Louisiana was lovely but could have used a bit more flavor. The crab cake stole the show with a delightful sauce. For dinner we had the salmon - perfectly cooked with a lovely sauce. And the porterhouse. My dining partner ordered it medium rare and it was cooked to perfection. Dinners are served with a mixed greens salad (the Mayfair dressing is great) and a baked potato. The potato was served piping hot and had a great texture and flavor. Overall dining at Sam's was a wonderful experience.

First time coming here to celebrate our Anniversary!!! At first we thought we were underdressed and needed fancy clothes but all was good!!! lol We were quickly seated to a table and the entire wait staff were very attentive. Your water glass will never be half full. The Moscato and Tito's and soda were good. Started off with the Smoked Porkbelly Deviled Eggs. They were yummy. Who knew drizzling maple syrup on them would elevate the taste. I could have used more PorkBelly!! The Ribeye was amazing!!! And the Grantwood Filet with Bernaise and Lobster was good, but lacked seasonings. The Salads (Wedge and House) were good. We were treated to a complimentary Piece of Flourless Chocolate cake to celebrate!!! The cake was good but Rich!!!!

Baked potato steak and mac & cheese

The food was really good. Service was good. The steak was well cooked. The potato was absolutely amazing. I suggest getting a baked potato. The mac & cheese was all right. The place was very romantic. It did feel very old timey. We had a reservation so we were seated immediately. It was pretty busy.

Our food was fine. Not worth the $200+ we spent. I got the lobster and my husband got a steak. Reservations were at 6:30 and we didn't leave until after 9:00. And it was not due to us hanging out and drinking. It was because it would be 40 minutes before our server, Arthur W, came back to check on us. My husband waited with an empty wine glass for 37 minutes. Not an exaggeration. Plenty of tables around us came after in us and left before us. I will say, the young man plying the piano was very impressive and talented.

Ask the Community - Sam's Steakhouse

Is there a dress code?

Yes they prefer dress casual nice slacks at least a polo. No shorts, kinda of a upscale place. Definely worth getting dressed up for

What time is happy hour? It's not on the website but people talk about it. I never knew it existed?

Best time to come?

Any special brunches that they offer... mother's Day, Easter, etc. I think the best time on weekends is to schedule early right after they open. They have live music later on Friday nights as well.

It is a little pricey for burgers and fries, but overall we had a good experience.

We came around 4 PM, which was kind of an off time, but the entire team was incredibly welcoming with some great menu recommendations. You order at the counter, and then your food is brought to your table hot and fresh. I ordered the Double Burger with cheddar and all the fixin's, along with some of their special sauce. I also got a side of the sweet potato tots and the "Oreo Speedwagon" milkshake. My burger was cooked perfectly and loaded up with toppings, and their special sauce is light and mustardy. The sweet potato tots were warm and crispy, and the milkshake washed everything down perfectly. I'd absolutely recommend this spot to visitors and locals alike.

After looking at a handful of menus on the street, we de died on Good Company. Service was great. Very attentive. They immediately asked if we had any dietary issues and then promptly after hearing out needs, made a handful of recommendations. We started with the cauliflower. It was excellent the light sauce and pine nuts really made this dish top notch. The vegetarian and GF adults then split the Caesar salad and the squash seasonal salad. Both were so flavorful, filling and entirely unique. If you're a salad eater, I'd highly recommend either one of these. The carnivore in our group ordered the Italian beef with French fries. Unfortunately they were out of the Italian beef so he had to settle on the wings. The wings were a solid lunch after an appetizer, but the sauce was not what was expected. Overall, the menu is simple, maybe 15 items in total and they probably need to have more for carnivores who are looking for something other than a hamburger and not too heavy for lunch. But for the other 2 in our group, we walked out super satisfied.

There were a few people in the dining area and a person at the bar. Our host welcomed us and asked if we had a reservation, we did not. He led us to a table and indicated our server would be with us shortly. We reviewed the menu and reading about them and their philosophy, the menu, the drink options and so forth. One of the staff behind the bar came and took our order. I stuck with water and we ordered chicken wings to share, I also got the Cucumber Tomato Salad for my meal, it sounded so fresh! Chicken wings came out fairly quick; delivered by the host who seated us. They were really good. The skin was crisp and the buffalo sauce a good flavor. We both enjoyed them. They came with a Green Goddess dressing, I am not a fan of that dressing, but the wings were good on their own. My salad came out and it was as refreshing as it sounded! It was the half salad, and it was a generous portion. Cornichon, Oven-Roasted Tomato, Crispy Shallot, Chopped Egg, and Dill Buttermilk dressing. It was perfectly dressed, and great proportions on the ingredients. My daughter ordered the Patty Melt advertised on Union Loafers bread and that clinched it for her. She indicated it was very good. The food was delivered by someone other than our server. After our food was delivered no one came back to check on us and we waited quite a while before we could get someone's attention to bring boxes and our check. While we were waiting the employees were setting up for dinner service, adding mini aperitif style glasses and then a couple came in for an early dinner and their server was so awesome, he came over and chatted with them offering samples of some kind of alcohol, he was so friendly! If we had been a little later and had him for a server, it would have changed our whole experience! We both commented that on our way out after we had eventually got settled up

Ultimately I had to try a burger and fries and they both met the high expectations I had going into this place (they're described as having the best smash burgers in STL). The beer was good - cold, crisp - you can tell the draft lines are clean. However the most impressive thing about this establishment was the staff (Jen & Kristen, maybe?). Efficient. Courteous. Very friendly. Treated the guests like an actual guest. Very well done. If I had to offer a criticism about this place, it seems if you don't sit at the bar, you have to place your food and drink orders at the bar (rather than having a server). I do believe they run your food though.

The worst aspect is the ventilation which needs much work. We came out smelling so greasy and smokey. We seated ourselves and waited a minute for our waitress to assist us. She kept saying she was new, that it was like her second day or something and didn't quite know the menu. She also didn't know how to make a drink, with that being the case why are you allowed to make any cocktails. If you have a limited cocktail menu but an extensive bar selection you would think their cocktail specials were on point. Nooooo. The BF tried a margarita special and it was awful. I tried a special crafted cocktail that was cool that our waitress asked the guy bartending to specially make because she had no clue about what I was talking about. I hate going to a spot where I make drinks better than the bartenders on hand and that's your job. The BF ordered the the garlic burger and I ordered the Korean wings which NEVER came out because our waitress forgot to order them. So I shared food with the BF. The burger was extremely underwhelming, not seasoned at all. How do you specialize in burgers and mess that up. The best item we ate was the fries and the comedy show was good. I love dinner and entertainment. We are burger enthusiast and if this what your restaurant specializes in I expect to be wowed. We saw all the social media hype surrounding this place and were so excited to try them. To find out it was ALL just hype is a real let down. No we will not be returning, the burgers and service speak for themselves.

My friend got a tequila sunrise, so I followed suit. The pour was quite generous, I must say, and I'm def not complaining. The drink was smooth, with the perfect amount of tequila and sweetness. The bartenders working were both friendly and sociable. The vibe was relaxed and is a great alternative when things get too crazy at the dam. While I only got drinks, I'll for sure be back.

A guy from my running group asked me which way it was, and I was like, "Uh, I think it's that way." A few places on this strip all have similar awnings. I thought I was lucky finding such a good spot. By the time I was done with my run, maybe an hour later, all of Clayton was an absolute ghost town. It makes me wonder what they'd have to put here to get people to visit Clayton during the evening, a 7 Brew? Inside is more along the lines of a bar, with a number of beers on tap and decor that may have been purchased from a Kohl's. I appreciated the way they had the beers on tap written on the wall in ginormous fonts, and I'm sure the elderly are similarly appreciative. Sometimes you ask these waiters what beers they have on tap and they act like they're doing you a favor by listing them. I asked this hillbilly they've got waiting tables at the Syberg's over on Dorsett what beers they have on tap, and he just said they have 30 of them. Uh, thanks? I wonder if he counted them. I went with the 4 Hands Incarnation, which I have at least once a week, because I get it for free. It seemed less "high gravity" than it does when you get it in the tall cans.Hmm... Usually, my move at these burger places is to order a bacon cheeseburger or a specialty burger that has bacon on it. 5 Star had such a burger listed first on their menu, making my choice easy enough. I toyed with the idea of ordering the Green Chile Cheeseburger, but not seriously. I wasn't sure what the green chiles would taste like, and what if they turned out to be gross? The Blue Ribbon Burger comes with bacon, port-braised onions and Gorgonzola cheese, along with LTOP. No, that's not a typo. You get thinly sliced red onions in addition to the port-braised onions. It feels weirdly generous of them, even though they're just onions, and all the fresh toppings are of a seemingly high quality. I was more ambivalent about the toppings specific to the Blue Ribbon Burger. I didn't dislike them, but I was less impressed by them than I would have expected. The bacon was good, but it was in crumbles and I think I would have liked it more if it were in thick, crispy strips. No Diddy. The cheese was either not flavorful enough or in not abundant enough quantity to be much of a factor. The onions, on the other hand, provided a nice flavor kick--less tart than I expected, more along the lines of the onions in a french onion soup. The fries were kinda whatever. They were good, being french fries and all, but not as gourmet as the menu would have you think. And they don't give you very many of them, if you get the regular serving. Weirdly, the regular serving doesn't cost much money, by Brandon-era standards, but the serving-size is decidedly skimpy. Why not just charge a normal amount and give you a normal quantity? Even the large won't exactly break the bank. I went with the small because I just wanted to see what they were like, for the sake of citizen food journalism. You're welcome.
