In all my decades of driving between Houston and Dallas, I had never stopped here. Determined to…read morefinally try something new - and to not hit up the usual Buc-ee's or Woody's and the like - we stopped at Sam's last Friday. And I'm glad we did! If you're seeking something quick, gourmet, trendy, or unique, Sam's is NOT it. But if you have time to sit down at a classic Texas comfort food joint and enjoy a buffet with items such as southern fried chicken, fried catfish, brisket w. BBQ sauce, fried okra, corn, mashed potatoes, and a whole lot more, then Sam's is worth checking out. They also have an ala carte menu of southern classics. Oh, and if you opt to do the buffet as I did, you can help yourself to a few different freshly made warm desserts or ice cream, and at no extra charge. $19.99 was more than fair for buffet and that's more than fair for what you get. There is also a fruit and salad bar which I didn't partake from and I couldn't even try all the hot food. Oh well...there will be a next time!

My dad has been coming here for years, I believe this was my first time…read more My dad went for the buffet, and I ordered a la carte. First, the service was excellent, I believe our server was named Presley. Very kind, always checking on us and keeping our water and tea full. On the buffet, my dad enjoyed the salad he had, but was surprised at the little variety offered that day. He said last time he was there with my brother there was more to choose from. He then got the fried chicken, which was greasy and barely any chicken on the thigh. I tried to find a drumstick but it was just breasts, thighs and a few wings. He did like the chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes. As for the fried okra, you have to eat it fresh. It is sitting under a heat lamp just makes it soggy and slimy. I ordered 4 vegetables a la carte which came out to be as much as the all you can eat buffet. First, their onion rings are OUTSTANDING! So is their homemade ranch. What was disappointing was the green beans, they definitely came out of a can and were heated. At $3.99 I expected fresh. There may have been a small piece of onion in it. Not sure if that was how it was cooked or if it fell in from another dish. The black-eyed peas were tasty. I also had a cup of the chicken corn chowder which was good. However, there was pieces of cubed chicken in it which also made me think that it was a prepackaged soup and not homemade. My dad got the coconut cream pie, which tasted good, but could have used more coconut then just on the top. He wanted bread pudding or peach cobbler, however at the time of day we were there, they had been picked over way too much, not leaving much for anyone else to enjoy. I did like the selections in the gift shop and purchased a tea towel before we left. I always like to try a place 3 times so I may stop in and try something else. Again, great customer service.

Still top quality food, well worth a "destination drive" just to eat lunch. We actually ate here…read moretwice in one week, made a return trip to Fairfield to pick up an antique piece from the Armadillo Emporium. One day had Tex-Mex, the next visit had a cheeseburger w/ onion rings. The Durango dinner had two enchiladas with beans and rice, and a taco. Hop Queen got the Del Rio, three enchiladas. Her second meal was the quesadilla. All of the dishes had generous amount of filling, well above what most places give you. The burger was pretty big as well. The basket of chips that came with the Tex-Mex was extra large, and the chips were nice and fresh, hot like they were just made. The food is good enough we joked about getting a hotel room next door, so we could pig out for several meals! Service is fast and friendly, and another country diner where people actually gather to share a meal, not stare at their phones. Always a welcoming ambiance!

I was in the drive thru and knew I was in trouble the minute they asked me to pull forward and wait for someone to bring my food out to my truck. I've seen this scenario play out before and it's always resulted in them forgetting to bring my food out. So, after enough time to have gone into a sit down restaurant and been partially through my meal, I went inside. No one paid me any attention until I said, "I'm still waiting on my Big Breakfast. The manager--I recognize her, but don't know her name--brusquely said, "we're still waiting on pancakes." She said this as I saw two Big Breakfasts sitting in queue and watched the line personnel open and close a warming bin full of pancakes. I suppose those two Big Breakfasts meals could've been going out to someone who'd been there longer than me, say someone who'd waited 45 minutes. I said, "I've been waiting 32 minutes already." That's when she snapped: "Fast food isn't always fast." She then yelled at her staff, "Don't take anymore orders for Big Breakfasts, everybody wants them then complains about having to wait. NO MORE!!" Sounded good to me, if you're such a poor manager that your staff can't fill a Big Breakfast order in less than half an hour, maybe you shouldn't be serving that item. But I suspect corporate has a different opinion of how that's supposed to work. By the way, after all that, the food was merely warm at best.
