So I was going to wait til the GRAND Opening to do my review of Sam Sylk's Chicken and Fish but decided to do it now since reviews for me are ALL about FIRST impressions. So here goes..
My first impression of Sam Sylk's was that it was easy to find and parking was readily accessible. We walked in and the brightness of the orange and green decor immediately perked me up despite the lateness of the hour. We were greeted by a lovely young woman who informed us they'd be closing soon so to kind of pick up the pace in making our dinner selections. Not a problem... Lol. The dinner selection however, was interrupted by the cashier recognizing BH. They went on to have the 'Where Do I know you from?' convo and after a few moments I decided on the wings with fresh cut fries and BH decided on a polish boy.
Waiting for the food was a pleasant experience. The two tv's in establishment were tuned into Empire so I made my way over to one of them to enjoy the show. Sam came out from the kitchen to interact with those waiting for their dinners. Covered in flour, it was nice to see that he was a hands on owner. We spoke for a few moments then my attention went back to Empire! Sorry Sam. Lol. BH came back from the restroom and Sam spoke to him as well. Come to find out, this dude has a heck of a business sense but we won't go into that, this is about the food right?!
After we received our meals, we leave and head home. The AROMA from the food was soo delightful and I couldn't wait to get home to enjoy. I cracked open my chicken and fresh cut fries and the first bite of fries (lightly drizzled) with Sam's special sauce was mmmm mmmm good! It didn't taste like any of sauce that I'd had before (and there have been many). It wasn't overly sweet or overly spicy/tangy. It was juuuuust right and just Sam's. The chicken was seasoned and fried perfectly. No abundance of batter here! BH's Beef Polish boy was perfectly messy in all its glory. He had cheese added to it and I swear he inhaled it in 3 bites. Neither of us offered each other a taste. We'll just consider that an mere oversight. Lol.
Overall the location, decor, service and most importantly, the FOOD were a hit! BH and I will certainly make our way back there soon! Thanks for giving us another option in this food category Sam. You did your homework and it shows! Great job!!
The Savol's!
