My mom and I just came to lunch here for the first time yesterday and it was great! She had the spaghetti lunch special and I had the Casada (I am so sorry if I am misspelling that but it was the typical Costa Rican lunch) along with the bruschetta for an app. The food was fabulous and those fried plantains were literally to die for!!! The service was excellent and the owner was very friendly! He came and checked on my mom and I and asked if everything was to our liking as well as introducing himself. Our drinks never sat empty and we were seated very fast. We also checked out their bar area and the cozy outdoor patio before we left. DEFINITELY will be back to enjoy a wine night with some tapas out back. Thank you for the great experience and happy bellies! read more

I had JUST arrived to Huntsville for the very first time, and was famished. I stumbled across Sam's Table. Delicious food!! I had the Chicken Panini Sandwich which was top notch. I also had the tomato bisque soup which was bursting with flavor! I almost got a container to go, to enjoy later! ALSO... a special shout out to Lance, who greeted me at the door. Super nice guy, and engaged in great conversation. He made my lunch experience that much more enjoyable. Thanks Lance!!!! I will be back!! read more

There almost every other Friday. The food is wonderful. The service is a little slow. Wonderful music by Audy. A must to hear.

Popped in for a quick bite before our daughter's graduation. Ordered two apps and they were both delicious. The melted Brie with marinated pear and the beef carpaccio were great. read more

The food was great! I had the BLT and added a little mayo and chipotle mayo...the chipotle mayo is amazing!!! The fries are unbelievable!!!! My boyfriend got the side salad and says don't bother with it just get the fries. Our server was Kara and she was excellent. The only reason I'm not leaving 5 stars is the sweet tea was lacking...and I'm a southern girl so I like my sweet tea lol. But all and all definitely recommend this place. read more

Stopped here after doing some shopping and OMG- SO, SO Good! We ordered the Calamari, shrimp tacos and chicken tacos, a bowl of butternut squash soup and a glass of pinot gris. You don't get a ton of calamari, but it was breaded nicely and my husband loved it. Tacos were great, good spice on the chicken one and the shrimp tasted fresh. But the star - the Butternut soup!!!! It was DELICIOUS. Super attentive server too. Loved the history on the walls and the specific history of the restuarant itself, and the Sam Houston original table. So worth the stop. read more

I went to Sams Table for the first time for lunch a couple weeks ago and well in love with it!!! We used to go to the restaurant that was there before, so we were used to the layout! It is two different spaces with a wall knocked out between them that combine them in the middle. There is table seating on one side and you walk through to the other space and there is a large. As with seating! You can also walk to the back and enjoy an adorable outdoor seating area!! The food is absolutely amazing!!! We have been back multiple times just for the food!! There are tons of tapas to choose from! The beef carpaccio is amazing! Served chilled with baby arugula and olive oil... wow! I love the grilled shrimp! It has spices sprinkled on top and served with roasted poblano peppers!! Delicious! There is also a lot of entrees to choose from. The squash soup is a huge hit served hot with pears on top. The chicken Caesar salad is a favorite of mine!! The salmon panini is also yummy! Grilled chicken, steak, and fish! It's all good!! If you are anywhere near this restaurant please stop in and enjoy! You will not be disappointed! read more

Food was good. 4 tables of 2 in the whole place including the bar took 20 minutes to put in an order from the bar and appetizers for the 2 of us. Then another 18 minutes to get the drinks. Dirty martini wasn't dirty just a martini. Waitress came 3 times to ask us about our drink order. I felt like we were the ones having to make the drinks because the bartender didn't have a clue. Manhattan wasn't made right. It was just an over all disaster. We kept telling g her just your house liquor. Charged us for premium. Will NEVER go back. Never ordered dinner because it took SO long just to get 2 drinks and appetizers, and are bill. read more

Waiter was excellent. Food was good. Recommend the flat bread BBQ was really delicious. Ambiance was ok.

Very good food. Great atmosphere and a pianist played beautifully. The service was very good and I enjoyed the calmness of the surroundings. Parking was close. read more

We stopped in for a late lunch and was seated quickly as there was nearly empty being after 2:30. Waiter was friendly and helpful and attentive. We ordered Panni sandwiches, me the chicken and hubby had the salmon. Both came with fries and a spicy garlic aioli sauce. It was served warm and both were very good. We sat outside and had their unsweetened ice tea and after I had their Costa Rican coffee. read more

As a new Sam Houston State student, I've been exploring options around Huntsville for a quality lunch spot between classes. I honestly cannot say enough about Sam's Table. Between the caliber of food, wide variety of their beer and wine selection, and friendly wait staff; every meal I've had there has been a highlight to my day. I suggest the catch of the day, always fresh and deliciously made. Adrian, Desiree, and Kara always take great care of their customers. read more

Came to Sam's with a large party with reservations. Good food, great atmosphere and service.

We chose Sam's Table because 4.5 stars overall. Ambiance was nice. Calamari was good. I didn't like the salad and they didn't have several things we tried to order including margaritas and steak. It's hard for me to positive about the service when they don't have items noted on the menu. I won't ever go back. read more

This is a Gem! Huntsville has been long overdue for a restaurant of this caliber! The owner/manager, Diego, has a BIG HEART, and enjoys the challenge of serving delicious food!!!! Love the seafood selection, especially the tuna! Calamari was lightly breaded, but scrumptious! Ceviche was served up, Costa-Rican style. The burger was out of this world. Salmon panini is to die for. SO GOOD!!!! Gonna be my home for a while! read more

It was great we got their just 45 mins before closing and they didn't rush us the pork chop dinner was great the mash potatoes were real and the asparagus was cook just right I will be back again read more

Delicious food, excellent service. We were just stopping in Huntsville for a bite on our trip from Houston to D/FW and so glad we did! Met owner and sampled some local beers. Will return! read more

Service is good. Food is good or better. Desserts are terrible. Really. They should stop selling them. Chocolate cake was dry and the frosting like granular sugar. Crème brûlée was pasty and could not finish. Chicken dishes are good but all the but is not healthy. Can they move to olive oil? Price is ok. Ambiance is good. Tables feel sticky. Maybe varnish is old and attracting stuff. Worth trying and considering. read more

Great place to eat !! All the staff is very friendly!! One of the top restaurants in Huntsville Tx!! Eat at at very least 3 times a month!!

Horrible wait. Dish ordered was not available and we were not informed until 20-25 mins into the waiting. Sitting almost an hour and some of the food has not showed up. Waited an hour and was told they forgot our food. This is beyond ridiculous and never have we ever been at a restaurant with this much horrible service. Ticket came and was billed the 2 dishes that were never served. Will never be back. Also customers are definitely the elderly group. Not sure if this is normal here but definitely needs to improve. read more

I had a wonderful lunch there during jury duty. What an amazing way to spend the courtroom break. Excellent food, great atmosphere, personal service with the owners on site. I'd recommend it to anyone wanting an alternative to the typical american lunch (or dinner for that matter). read more

Nice atmosphere in downtown Huntsville paying tribute to Sam Houston. Bottom line- on the food-are they tapas and wine bar, American fare, South American..... All of the food was average to below average relative to the price paid. Mushroom appetizer was good. Ribeye medium was a flavorful decent cut but cooked more to medium well and not a $40 steak,. green beans were canned, tasted institutional and spruced up with bacon and greens. Mashed potatoes were home made, topped with melted cheese but average. Costa Rican seafood plate was less appealing than yelp pictures and prepared with less variety of seafood..only had shrimp and clams-extremely clammy tasting and fishy overpowering. Martini was very good and Glass of wine was good. Paid little more than $100 for Everything. BUT the value for this quality of ambience, service, drinks and food is much lower. My advice to the owner is cut the menu offering to less and increase the quality. read more

The hamburger is one of the best I've ever had... seriously. It's been almost 2 weeks and I'm still thinking about it. They opened during the pandemic, and as the summer begins they're still learning and perfecting their operations. Definitely worth a visit and a return. read more

Opening night- exciting to try a new place in our small town. Prompt service, reasonably priced, food came out hot, very tasty, and delicious pour-over coffee to end our meal. Live music while we ate, and the owner came out to chat. We will be back! read more

Sam's Table is our new go to place to meet up with friends and family. Nice atmosphere, good service, great food.

The food was great. I really wanted to finished my entire plate but just couldn't eat those LAST 2 fries. Just too full.

Great ambience, service, and food. Prices are fair for the experience. This is a nice place to go to do business or to chat with a friend.

I have been many times to Sam's table and it never disappoints. The location on the town square, the historical features, the delicious food, attentive wait staff, and conversation with the owner makes for an all-around delightful experience. I highly recommend Sam's Table! read more

So far, so good. It's a little passed noon and there's quite a few people in here.We are waiting for our meal so I can take a picture of it.I ordered a cheeseburger and got a soggy bun so I could only eat half! The rice/ beans are ok, salad ok and plantains are ok read more

Sam's Table has delicious food and great service. We had chicken fried steak that was wonderful and catfish was great too.

Lovely place. I really enjoy their wine selection and vegan options!! Try their Costa Rican dish.

Nice atmosphere but the food was undercooked and cold. Piano music was a plus and so was the roving owner!

Excellent food and service in a great location. The burger was fantastic and everything else looked delicious.

Excellent fare, well prepared and presented. I've been here twice, both times for dinner, en route to Houston. I make it a point to stop here if it's mealtime. read more

We were there for over two hours for a simple dinner. True they were also hosting a special event in the other area, but really??? Service was extremely slow, food mediocre and cold, and ticket totally incorrect which involved even more time to correct. Finally just gave up and paid as on ticket just to get out of there. While wait staff was apologetic, it was not a pleasant dining experience. read more

I love Sam's Table restaurant and eat there regularly. They have great Mahi Mahi, fresh tuna, garlic mashed potatoes, and house salad. The food is great and the servers and bar tenders are very kind and knowledgeable. Obviously Diego, the owner from Costa Rica, treats them well because every time I go there I have the same server. I do not eat meat, however they sure serve a lot of steaks. Wednesday nights are special as many of the area's top musicians gather for open mic night. read more

Been here multiple times and have had an amazing experience each time. Would love to come back here more often. Very under appreciated spot. The environment is very calm and it's a nice spot for lunch. Wish they got more business. The servers I've had interactions with were very friendly and my food always came out perfect read more

Always a favorite! Great atmosphere, great food, great service. Also Diego is very primitive of wines from local vineyards!
