I ordered from DoorDash. They had a decent special going on. Keep in mind this isn't gourmet food. This is neighborhood food, or I don't feel like cooking, so I need something quick that isn't a drive thru food.I got the chicken wing dinner and it surprised me. It was well seasoned and I really enjoyed the hot honey sauce. It comes with fries although they're not fresh cut. I will definitely order this meal again. Nothing fancy, just good old fashion high calorie food to hold you over. I recommend and I'll return read more

HI I have had fish only. Catfish is just too salty. You can't even add hot sauce. Please think about our people and their health. We should not eat deep fried food. But we love it. Older people do not want to cook but we will have to start. JUST TOO SALTY. Only a 3 because of the salt. read more

Visiting from Atlanta and my brother recommended this place. It was a 9/10 for me! The wings were a good size and seasoned to perfection. No complaints read more

Tiana and rick took good care of me food was good the location was on Broadway fresh tasty food

The fish was good. My husband and I ordered the perch meal and a side of cream cheese pound cake. The meal came with fries and coleslaw (which was hidden under parchment paper under food). They didn't send condiment we ordered door dash so you may need to ask for them. Overall the food was good nicely seasoned. The fish need salt. The food arrived fast and hot. I was worried the fish would be soggy but to my surprise it was crispy and delicious. I would order form here again. read more

I happened upon this place today. I am glad I did. The lady greeted me fast and with a smile. I don't eat fish so I can't speak on the quality of the fish. But it looked and smelled good. The sign at the ordering station specifically states they are not fast food. And I will attest. It wasn't fast. But speed isn't everything when the quality is great. I ordered the lunch special. $5 for three piece dark chicken with fries and a soda. I asked for the two legs and a thigh. The flavor of the chicken was out of this world. I enjoyed every bite of it. The seasoning was on point. The doneness was perfect. The fries were soggy. And that's because they don't have traditional boxes. They put the chicken on top of the fries. So the grease from the chicken makes the fries soggy. I won't deduct a star for this. The chicken was that good. This place is a must get to for your chicken and I assume fish is just as perfect. read more

First, let me start off by saying that I am a huge supporter of Black owned business; however, with that said, I think that some of them really need to be cognizant of how they are treating their patrons. Now, on with my experience with Sam Sylk in the Southgate shopping plaza. On Saturday 6/8/2024, my friends and I attended the comedy show featuring Cheryl Underwood. Cheryl was hilarious and entertaining, but the customer service was not accommodating. I was one of seven people in my party, mind you we purchase our tickets well in advance only to be seated in the back by the door although there were seats closer to the front. The person that seated us reported that we were seated in the back because we had a large crowd Make it make sense. Although Mr. Sylk was approached and politely notified, he did say that he would come back to our table, again that never happened. Furthermore, we arrived at the show early (5:00PM) only to have to stand outside until 6:00PM. Our plan was to go early order drinks and food; nonetheless, we had to wait until 6:00PM, so much for arriving early to beat the crowd. Once we entered the establishment, the servers were overwhelmed, our server was getting orders mixed up, and we didn't get served our food until close to the end of the show. Although the food was good, the portions were small. To add insult to injury, while waiting for our form of payment to be returned to us, the security came and told us that we had to leave because others were waiting to get inside. Although I completely understand that, and was also sensitive to that matter, we were not going to leave until we received our form of payment back. Overall, Cheryl Underwood was amazing. She was personable and approachable, very down to earth person. I enjoyed the show, but I was very disappointed with the service. What I would have done differently, was allow people that came in the building to allow them to go ahead and order their food and drinks. Perhaps that would have eliminated people standing outside, and the mayhem. Also, it may have prevented the servers from becoming overwhelmed because the 6:00PM show was a large crowd. read more

Ordered two fried shrimp dinners via Uber Eats. The shrimp was terrible! They were small, salty and fried so hard that they were inedible not to mention tasteless! We had to throw them in the trash. Shame on you; teach your staff how to deep fry without ruining the order! read more

The chicken was good. The service...not so much. My family placed a large chicken order and PREPAID 2 weeks in advance. There also was a follow up call placed to verify our order. When we arrived at pick up time, our order was not ready. After 20 minutes, we were offered a soda pop for our inconvenience. NOPE! 30 more minutes later, we had a chicken, but unfortunately was late to the venue to decorate and had other members of the set up crew waiting outside, in the winter, until we arrived. The chicken was good though, but the level of unprofessionalism was sad. Do better! As a family, we order a lot of food from restaurants all over Cleveland. We may try this restaurant again on a smaller scale...but no time soon. read more

I went to Sam Sylk's in the Southgate shopping plaza and had an amazing experience. The food was delicious, the space was clean, inviting, modern and spacious. The DJ did a great job and we were able to dance and socialize without feeling awkward. Security was at the door and searched my purse which I appreciate, I felt safe. read more

Overall good. Wait wasn't long. Cashier was focused. Wings were average, shrimp was perfect. read more

Good fried chicken. Good service. I wish they had the chicken with bones at other locations. Like the sauce. Will return.

After paying for my order I was told it would take 30 minutes, I come back in 30 mins to find that the ticket was never given to the cook. Waited another 30 mins, get all the way to my destination and the order is missing the fish!!! Are you kidding me!!! Got me once shame on you, you won't get me again. read more

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! read more

It was ok! Unfortunately, I had my food delivered via DoorDash. I would've appreciated my fish more if I was present as it came out of the grease. I like my fish crispy on the outside and mine was not:( I would try it again! read more

The best comfort food I've EVER had! I ordered probably six times within a month via DoorDash and I can't get enough of their catfish! I even got my coworkers hooked as well. Since I am now working from home in Mentor, there isn't a location close enough to order from which breaks my heart but I highly recommend them to anyone! read more

Ordered from Door Dash. Wanted fish so I figured I'd give this place a go as they are local and the prices look good. I got the Catish with fries, mac n cheese. Also got the peach cobbler. The fish was very nice. Clean cuts (no scales/discoloration) and the seasoning was good. (also not too greasy) Fries were nothing special but fine. Mac N cheese was not my taste but not bad. Peach cobbler was great. Overall very pleased with the quality and taste of the food. Would buy from again. read more

Well the cashier Lala was great.....as far as the chicken umm not so much. I order the special which was the 2 piece dark with fries. That has to be thee most bland chicken ever. Not sure who came up with the seasoning but Sam needs to find someone new. My wife order a small mac and cheese which was $3.95 and when I say it was so small that I thought we ordered from the kids menu. We had to wait about 30 minutes which wasn't a huge deal as long as the food is good and I'm afraid it wasn't . read more

The hype is over , from the beginning when they first opened the food was great, I don't know what happened , maybe New cooks but now the food is barely edible, this will be my last time here , or until someone leave a improvement or better review of the food, all I can say is keep this up and they will be out of business by summer, people not going to pay for crappie food, like over cook fish and salty wings , . My recommendation is if you do go there you are brave , and check your food before you leave, I normally do but since it was so cold I wanted Just to get home . No more , take an extra minute look it over make sure it's correct, read more

I ordered on Doordash.com, did not receive my full order, supervisor was out of town, no one answers the phone. Rude people. Nasty. Shame on you Sam Sylk. read more

I am extremely pleased with my experience at Sam Sylk's Shaker Heights location! This was my first time going here. It was around 9pm on a Monday. I placed my order via the phone and the lady was pleasant and professional. I ordered the 2 perch filets and 4 shrimp meal. It comes with coleslaw and fries. The fish and shrimp are battered and fried. They were nice sized filets fried crispy on the outside but tender on the inside. The shrimp were medium to large size and perfectly battered and fried! The coleslaw is pretty good not drowning in dressing but coated nicely and the veggies had a nice crunch and the black pepper added additional flavor to what can be a mediocre side dish. The presentation of my food was well thought out. The coleslaw was placed in the container side dish compartment and a sheet of foil placed over it. On the foil was the hot shrimp and fish and fries. Keeping the slaw separate kept my crispy seafood from getting soggy! Also, the foil kept my hot food hot on the way home. On top of the foil was wax paper and on top of that were all of my condiment packets( that's thoughtful and hygienic). They included napkins and a dinner roll for you bread lovers out there. Also a lemon wedge to squeeze over my fish. Now, this is a carry out spot ! The inside of the restaurant is minimalist. There are two tables and a counter for ordering and a menu display. The POS system is modern and you can pay with cash or credit or Apple Pay. My meal was $12. I was impressed with everything from order to eating. I'll be back for sure! read more

Absolutely the worst service in Northeast Ohio. Even when you just want to pick up something you ordered they never address you. They need to get their act together. It's embarrassing read more

Horrible. Unorganized. Put in an online order at Lee Rd location. staff apparently did not look at order after i called to place an order was told they don't take orders over $20 over the phone (what?!!!) and went to pick it up and had to wait another 40 mins!! read more

Saw them on TV the day they opened double dipping shrimps in batter before frying. Very anxious to try them out. Could not get them on the phone to call in a order. Drove by a few times, limited parking. Finally got in. The place is dirty. Floor hadn't been mopped or swept and it was only 3 PM. Long wait because they were filtering the grease. Not a problem waiting but I watched them do this using a long yellow hose which was dirty and the cooks kept touching it!. The cooks had on latex gloves but I never saw them change them. I got jumbo shrimp and chicken wings. The coating slides off the shrimp so you end up eating a naked shrimp. The shrimp did taste fresh. Billed as jumbo but were not. Just a regular size shrimp. Very disappointed. Wings were good but small. Lots of fries, too many. Won't go back. read more

I'm so disappointed. I downloaded this app just to right a review. The portion size compared to the price is just ridiculous. The meal looks like someones half eaten day old leftovers. I will never come here again nor do I recommended it unless you like wasting your hard earned money. read more

Stopped in Sam Sylks Seafood Sunday afternoon in Lee Rd. Food was hot, fresh and well seasoned. Service was great too. I will return! If your looking for a well run black owned business your search can end with Sam Sylks Seafood. Kudos to the Big Man! read more

OMG!!!! The freshest fried catfish I've eaten!! DELICIOUS! Everything was so-o-o-o good!!! The best in Cleveland!!!

Never again. I ordered the White Bass dinner and the shrimp snack. The fish was covered in thick batter and tasteless. I expected it to be fried with a thin covering of seasoned batter like most places do. The batter was so thick you have to pull it off to get to the fish. Ditto for shrimps. The thick batter slid off and I was biting naked shrimps. read more

The first time, I was so disappointed. The quality of the food was poor, it was too salty and greasy. The quantity of the food was poor $4 a shrimp snack had 4 little shrimp and 3 fries in a small french fry paper (like from McDonald's). If I hadn't driven home, I would have taken it back. The Chicken and Fish was salty and tasted like it was cooked in old grease. They didn't get my order right and I had to stay longer. So I went back the next week, and there was no parking because of some give-away. The people were rowdy and seemed like they were loitering outside by the back door smoking! I want them to do better. Here's my ideas. Get a better cook, use clean oil, and check those prices to make sure we are getting our money's worth. Because I didn't. Find out about adding parking. I bet they want to charge you an arm and a leg to use that other lot, but you are charging an arm and a leg to eat poor quality food. read more

Unfortunately, I will not visiting this establishment again. Looking at the website, one would think that you'd be visiting every nice place. BOY, WAS I WRONG! This place is next to a sex-shop in the hood! The people who worked there and the patrons were all ghetto and cursed all while I was there. The food was way too salty and was served on PLASTIC dishes with the sides being served in the plastic to-go containers from KFC. The silverware did not match and the napkins were paper. I ordered 2 drinks and was charged $28.00!!! And yo top it off, they were watered down! I know we are supposed to frequent these types of places but I WILL NOT be returning because I expected more for the money that I spent--which was over $50.00 dollars. I'm sorry Sam but you MUST do better if you want to stay in business. read more

I drove an hour to get here to show support to your business. You post that you are open until midnight but I got there at 11:41 and there was this guy there with the chairs already up on the tables. As soon as I opened the door, he stated that you were closed. My girl stated that the website says that you are open till midnight. The gentleman looked at his watch and stated "we closed at 11:40 tonight". Disappointing and messy. I will not be back and I will tell everyone how we were treated. We were really looking forward to the food and really felt let down. Businesses need to find employees who will represent them well. This was a fail in my book.... read more

Too salty! It was delectable at one time, but now it's much too salty to enjoy. We ordered both Catfish and perch dinners a number of times. read more

Sam Sylks Chicken in Arlington plaza in Akron Ohio was the worst. This is the first and the last time I would try this spot. The professionalism was absurd. Whoever hired these young 18 n 19 yr old kids should be ashamed. They were not wearing any masks and NO gloves. Their appearance looked liked they never heard of a shower. I waited almost an hour, while 5 people got their stuff before me and ordered the same thing. Not to mention I was there first. Why be given a ticket then if I'm waiting soooooo long? The young teens working there were all up at the counter laughing and joking, again NO MASKS, all the while the cashier wasn't able to take orders. The okra was good but the chicken TERRIBLE!!!!! This place needs to be supervised by an ADULT!!! Sam Slyk... I think you have another calling and it ain't making chicken. If I was able to give a negative star I would. read more

This place SUCKS! Never going here again. Have fun paying $15 for the multi-piece chicken & they are so cheap that they only give you dark chicken. Then a super tiny cold Mac and cheese that is supposed to be a "large". This place is gross and a huge rip off. read more
