Had shrimp tacos with black beans. Phenomenal. ReAnn was my server, very sweet and knowledgeable. House chardonnay was excellent. Definitely recommend this place, wish I found it sooner. Music is just what I listen to at home. Very comfortable feeling in here. read more

First time visiting Sam's Table this evening. Dined with a group of friends and enjoyed several different items off the Tapas Menu and all were excellent. Great conversation, warm and welcoming atmosphere. Excellent service. Clean environment. Loved the bar area, outdoor dining area AND the Speakeasy!! Definitely worth it! It's nice to have such a cool vibe in Huntsville read more

I've been here a few times usually before the show at old town theater across the street and have enjoyed various items. Tonight was nice, no show but we started with an order of calamari (the best in Huntsville btw) and a delicious smoked old fashioned. Both were excellent but I have to admit that the old fashioned was over the top! My main course was the grilled chicken with garlic butter paired with cheesy mashed potatoes and a beautiful house salad with ranch dressing. We sat in the saloon area because I find the piano music a bit too loud. Overall it was a wonderful dinner and folks .. if you do nothing else, try the smoked old fashioned.. worth it for sure!! read more

We were seated immediately, the staff was attentive and kind, the ambiance was very welcoming and comfortable, our waitress gave her suggestions- all was spectacular with service. The food took a little while to come out and while portions were great, especially for the price, the food was just okay. We ordered 2 appetizers to share and they were ok. The caramelized mushrooms tapas dish was mostly caramelized onions, the crustinis were good though, perfectly toasted. read more

The service and ambience can't be beat! Live music in the evenings on the weekend as well as a speakeasy and terrific patio in the back. Eclectic menu always fun. You need to check them out! They know how to take care of you on special events. This was my girlfriends celebration of becoming a citizen. read more

Ordered a ribeye, medium well. When i cut into it i swear i heard the cow moo... it was more like rare.. charred on the outside but very raw. I let the waiter know, he seemed confused. After 20 min, someone whom I assume was the manager asked if everything was okay. I told him and he agreed, it was undercooked. But still charged full price, no offer to replace or even cook it to my likings... Needless to say.. wont visit them again. read more

Nice restaurant, food was tasty, small portions for the price. Noone had anything outstanding to say about their meal but it was a nice place to eat and would go back. read more

This place had great food and a wide variety of options! The inside was nice and in a nice place of the downtown area. Lots of seating. The inside was nice and rustic. The service was good! The flavors were amazing. Tried a little bit of everything that you normally can't try at other places. The crème brûlée was good but the sugar was burnt on top and that carried throughout the rest. And it was a little watery but other than that okay read more

The food was good, not great but good. The service was SLOW. I think only 1 waitress. We did arrive at a busy time. It as 6:10 to 6:15. We were seated and give 1 menu (they had run out of menus). We ordered our drinks and our meals. About 20 minutes later we got our drinks the ice water had no water, but ok nothing terrible. By 7:10 our meals arrived, we ate a little and took it to go In short, nice place with interesting menu, but be sure you plan a long evening and no movie to run off to. read more

This was a luck of the draw, went antiquing and got hungry so we stopped in based on other yelp reviews. The food did not disappoint, the Philly cheese steak was a winner, the bread was so delicious and the meat was tender. The chicken on my dish was well seasoned and not bland as was the rice, the only thing I would have enjoyed even more is if the black beans were in a sauce similar to Cuban black beans. But it was still yummy and I would go back. Love the maduro plantains. read more

Sam's Table has a good reputation in the community, and that made me want to check them out. There's usually plaenty of parking in the square. Before 5 PM there is a two-hour limit on parking, but that shouldn't be a problem because service is quick. They have a restaurant in one building and a bar in the next. The ambience is very good in both. I visited them with my wife, who had been there before and was happy to go back. The place is clean and neat. The tables and chairs are aesthetically pleasing and in good repair. The ambience is casual, but this would be good place to take someone for a business lunch as well. The decorations are tasteful. The restrooms were clean and roomy. They also have a back patio that you can access through the bar. They even have blankets by the patio for use on the more chilly autumn or winter days. The staff was friendly and professional. The service was excellent. I never had to ask for a refill on drinks. They check on you on a regular basis. The owner even came by to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. The menu was a refreshing surprise. They had some familiar dishes, but with a costa rican twist. My wife had the Chicken Panini and I had the Philly Cheesesteak. Both sandwiches came with fries that were crispy and delicious. The buns were very good. The servings are ample. They have some delicious looking dinner entrees as well, including steaks (and of course, even a Chicken-Fried Steak). The prices were more than I expected, but I promise you get your money's worth. We will definitely be back. The cell phone reception (AT&T) is not great, but they offer free Wi-Fi for guests. The only thing I can suggest to improve the experience might be to lower the humidity. I could tell that the humidity was affecting one of their art pieces, and the cold drinks "sweat" quite a bit. Nothing that would keep me from going back. In fact, I think this just became one of my favorite places in Huntsville. read more

We were in town for some business and remember hearing people talk so well about Sam's Table. We popped in for a quick lunch and we are glad we did. Our waiter Bryce (hopefully spelled correctly, if not I'm sorry) was very welcoming and helpful. We told him it was our 1st time there and he told us we could sit wherever we wanted. The dinning room and the bar are on different sides of the building, connected through an open area near the restaurant entrance. We ordered chicken tacos and Sam's burger. The three tacos were large and full of chicken. The sautéed onion and bell peppers were delicious. The verde salsa was good with a strong bite of jalapeño. The burger was large and delicious. The fries were crispy and not overcooked. The burger comes without condiments so if you want some let them know. Bryce told me when he dropped off the burger. There are many different items on the Costa Rican based menu to try and we will return soon. They have a patio and a secret you need to ask about. Happy eating! read more

Absolutely five star, wonderful, delicious!! Everyone had a magnificent, memorable experience. Thank you to everyone at Sam's Table!!! read more

We stopped by Sam's Table and had a great experience. My wife ordered the redfish special and loved it, so tasty and filling she had to take some home. I had the Costa Rican chicken tacos with rice, and every bite was packed with flavor. The kids gave thumbs up to the basil pasta pomodoro and BLT. Portions were generous, service was excellent, and the whole vibe was just right. We'll definitely be back! read more

Don't take four stars as a bad thing! It's a nice place in the square. I'm definitely going back but I'm not necessarily going out of my way to get back. The food was good although the sides for my sandwich were a bit skimpy. I did enjoy my crème brûlée, though. We enjoyed eating and watching the people of Huntsville go by. Granted it was hot. So there weren't that many people walking by. It's a great alternative to the other popular restaurant on the other side of the square. read more

Very nice place to dine in Huntsville. Bartenders and waiters were friendly and welcoming. The owner even stopped by our table to just say hello and shake hands. Our table ordered a slew of appetizers and they were all expertly plated and tasted really good. I had a burger and it was good, but a bit dry. The fries were excellent. I was dining on a business meal so I didn't pay much attention to prices but everything seemed about what I'd expect to pay at a comparable restaurant in Houston. If you're looking for a restaurant with good ambiance, attention to detail, and good food, this is a great place to try in Huntsville. read more

I had the Gallo Pinto and it was delicious. My daughter's steak was overcooked and my wife's fettuccine was "fine". The service was fantastic and my old fashioned was delicious. read more

We love Sam's Table. Diego is the best! Today we came for birthday cocktails. I wanted a Dirty Martini and Dee got her usual Pinot Grigio. The bartender, Jeric, is amazing! Music is perfect - Hootie and the Blowfish right now. Our favorite is the Brie and Pear appetizer! Oh my goodness - so yummy! We just found out it is martini night so now I ordered a cucumber martini on recommendation and it is delicious! Wow! We will be back again for martini night! So glad Sam's table decided to branch out to cocktails! read more

Had the great fortune of eating at Sam's Table today while visiting Huntsville from Oklahoma. The food was authentic (I have been to Costa Rica multiple times and can attest), DELICIOUS, and very reasonably priced, with generous portions. Our server was attentive and stopped by multiple times. The owner Diego stopped by and chatted with us too--it's clear that they take great care and pride in providing an excellent experience. I'll definitely be back anytime I'm in the neighborhood! Pura vida! read more

My family came to Sam's Table about 30 minutes before closing time. Even so, the staff was happy to seat us. The restaurant was quiet since it was close to closing time, but I could tell it was the type of place that was likely very popular- especially among the local college students. The waitress told me that her favorite thing was Sam's Secret Burger, and that it was the best burger in Huntsville. I ordered it. That was one of the best burgers in Texas! My wife got the tenderloin steak, and it was also delicious. This place isn't on the freeway, so you'll have to go into town to eat there, but it's well worth the trip! read more

In town for a college sporting event, and found this place on Yelp. Food was really good and eclectic, and the service was stellar. Definitely worth checking it out. read more

Frozen margaritas are made with the minute maid frozen drink mix, way too sweet. If your going to give the place a classy atmosphere, in a college town, have craft margaritas. I could have had better drinks at Chili's. The ambiance gives off that it will be a nice dining experience, and it is however the food is too expensive for the serving size and it's not anything to rave about. read more

The live music is gorgeous and pairs well with amazing food. The bartenders are great. Definitely a must try in the area.

Always heard about here but never made the time to drop in until I needed a reliable lunch spot to meet a friend in Huntsville. Service is attentive and friendly. I enjoy the atmosphere. Sandwich and fries both came out extremely hot. Everything was fresh. Pricing wasn't too bad but could be a buck less. read more

We like the idea of this place, but it wasn't very well executed. The butter on the pasta was nasty, the chicken was over cooked and way too thin. The salmon was amazing. The Alfredo was great! Don't know if we will be back. The wine wasn't good, bad selection. read more

My 3 star review is for the server. We have dined at Sam's Table a few times and it has always been great - the food, the service, the atmosphere! Tonight, we had someone who could learn a little about waiting on customers. Our server was Desiree, at least that's what the ticket said. She cut me off mid sentence, didn't ask if I wanted another beer, didn't offer parmesan cheese with my fettuicine alfredo. We were about 1/2 done with our meal and she wanted to know if we wanted dessert. The last straw was she approached our table just as I was taking a bite and asked if I wanted a to go box. I'm literally still eating. I guess she was in a hurry. The food and ambiance deserves a 5 star. read more

While visiting Huntsville, TX I stopped in at Sam's Table for some lunch. This place is one of those "Hidden Gems"...a diverse menu ranging from Tapas, Costa Rica, and American creations. I decided to try their Costa Rican Seafood plate from the main menu Appetizer/Tapas section and added a side of rice and some tortillas. I tried a Lucky 19 Bearkat Blonde ale...this is a really great beer, crisp palate, and went well with the fish plate I ordered. This seafood dish is absolutely incredible...a mix of shrimp, mussel, clams, baby shrimp, and chopped octopus. The flavors are so good and the rice complemented the dish very well. Even though this was an appetizer...it was a wonderful lunch option. This is a historical location with a beautiful patio out back and an extensive wine list. I met the owner/chef Diego Varela and told him I was very impressed with the food and service received there. Exceptional food and the service from Desiree was attentive and friendly! read more

Excellent experience. The restaurant sits pretty close to I-45 which is good if you are traveling. The menu choices and food quality were high without being expensive. Loved the smaller room where the bar was. Seemed like a neat place to meet up. We had one burger and one dish with Costa Rican theme. Both were great along with good service. read more
