I highly recommend Sam’s Eatery all across the board for every location but especially this store on Benton Road. They’ve been open a short time and strive hard to provide a great atmosphere for employees and customers alike. My significant other Tammy Howell has been with Sam’s for 10yrs now and has work every location thus far to provide an outstanding service to her customers. Management has also shown in my eyes to have a good handle on things when it comes to their employees giving their very best to their customers. The team work I’ve seen personally is what I expect to see when I sit down for a bite to eat or just order from the drive through. Therefore I give a five star rating for the excellence they strive to build and show not only in their food but in their service to us as customers.

Just passing through town and stopped by for lunch. Had the fried pickles with ranch, very good. Shrimp po boy comes either fried or grilled. I had grilled shrimp, tomatoes, lettuce, pickles and some type of yummy sauce on the sandwich. Very yummy.
