| - I'm sure Sam's gives a lot of people a look at this new location. Opposed to others we ate on the one evening they are open, Friday. At 5:30 it was relatively quiet with about 5 or 6 tables occupied. The place looked clean as was the silverware. Three of us ordered the fish fry and my wife ordered chicken fried chicken, mashed potatoes and white gravy and she substituted fried okra for the corn on the menu. Her potatoes and gravy were good, portions large, chicken tender and moist inside, crisp outside but the fried okra were still frozen in the center. They immediately took them back and out came well fried okra. The fried fish was served in red plastic baskets and came with 3 pieces of cod fish, french fries, cole slaw and 2 sauces, tartar and red cocktail. None of us tried the cocktail sauce. The basket was small and uncomfortable to eat from as the paper liner dissolved from the ketchup and oil from the fried food. The french fries were pale, limp and under cooked but we didn't send them back, should have. The fish had a good crunch and fresh flavor and the tartar sauce was fair. All the meals were just a tad under $10 each. I deduct a star for the under cooked okra and fries and a half star for the skimpy baskets the meals were served in, so I give 3.5 stars overall. I will probably return to try their breakfasts.
