    First of all, the name "Sami's Southern Kitchen and More." It is in no way associated with the Sam's Southern Eatery that you may have seen in the Tulsa area. Sam's Southern Eatery is a large chain with restaurants scattered across ten or more states. They had a restaurant in Broken Arrow. I never tried it. Apparently not very good; they closed. Sami's Southern Kitchen and More, only has two locations right now, Sapulpa and Saint Peters, MO. It is a small company. With food this good I predict that it will grow. Their menu is large, covering most all essential southern foods: BBQ, chicken and seafood. Every time we have driven by at lunch hour the parking lot has been packed. Jim L.'s review and recommendation for the grilled shrimp got my attention. My wife had the 6 fried jumbo shrimp with the red beans and rice as the side. These were indeed large sized shrimp, with a crispy golden-brown coating. The beans and rice were amazing. Smokey tender beans floating on seasoned rice. They were so good I ordered a pint to take home. I ordered the 12 grilled shrimp meal. Fresh shrimp well coated in a blend of spicey Cajun seasoning and grilled with butter. Served with grilled peppers and onions. Fantastic! Along with it hush puppies and creamy fresh Cole slaw. Finally, I have found my Cajun / southern food restaurant. This was a restaurant that leaves you thinking about how good the food was as you drive back home. Great friendly service. A large dining area.

    While surfing Yelp for restaurants that appears appealing. One place Sam's Southern Eatery popped up. They serve sea food and I like sea food. They also serve salads, chicken and other types of food that my wife would rather have. (She's not big on sea food). This restaurant also has a four star Yelp rating. I grabbed Deanna (my wife), jumped in the truck and drove 22 miles to Sapulpa. The restaurant wasn't very busy when we arrived @ 7:30pm. The restaurant appeared to need a facelift, but was clean. We sat ourselves in a booth and was greeted by a very nice waitress. Who was actually the only waitress on duty. For an appetizer we ordered cheese sticks and fried green tomatoes. They were very good. I also ordered the fish, shrimp and oyster combo with red beens and rice with fries. Deanna ordered the chicken strip dinner with corn and fries. My dinner had two large fish filets that was good, three large shrimp that was also good. However ever the three fried oysters was very small and way overcooked. The fries was cold. And appeared to have been cooked sometime in advance. My red beans and rice likewise appeared to be overcooked and pasty. Deanna said her chicken was good, but the fries and corn was cold. They also offered several different types of sauce. This was not a bad idea, except they weren't identified. The waitress was wonderful and the food had a good taste. However I can only give three stars because of the over cooked and cold food.

    Lunch special basket with fish, shrimp, and chicken. Don't forget the Sami sauce!

    Get the Sami Sauce! ;) A local recommended that we lunch at Sami's while in the area. Lots of items available on the menu but by far the brisket chili is a don't miss item. Different from the usual and very good! We also enjoyed the basket with 2 fish, 2 shrimp, and 1 chicken with a side, complete with Sami sauce which is delicious. All the pieces were delightfully crispy and not overcooked but the sauce made up for the breading without a lot of flavor. It's definitely in the Sami sauce. They offer po' boys with just about any meat you'd like. We ordered one with fried oysters. It was plentiful, fresh, and pretty good. The waitress was so friendly and very hospitable with helping us choose some of their best items including small bowls of gumbo. She combined things nicely so that we could have a little of many different options. We never went without during our meal and glasses stayed full with refills. Top notch service. The place is also large and spacious and appeared well kept.

    Stopped in m my way through town to have lunch with my mom. The reason we stopped is because my mom loves their hush puppy's & wouldn't u know it ‍ they didn't have any left and we walked in @ 11 am too. The shrimp was pretty good as well as a the catfish

    Son had Buffalo Wings! They were amazing!
    Michelle M.

    Best food in town! No matter what you get you won't be disappointed. We were just passing through and I always try to find places to eat and this place definitely lived up to its reviews. My son had the buffalo chicken wings (more like chicken legs) but who's complaining, I had the steak & cheese sandwich and corn nuggets which was delicious. My mother-in-law had the chicken livers and OMG they were so tender and great texture and flavor not greasy at all. Husband had the smoked chicken and it was equally amazing. I would definitely recommend!

    Dirty, dusty ceiling with a nice fly zapper on wall.  Didn't work well because flies were everywhere.
    Rex W.

    The amount of flies landing on the food was a huge turn-off. The food was okay, the oyster poboy was soggy. The gumbo had a layer of grease I don't understand what they would have cooked that would have had that much grease in gumbo. For the same price you can go to Lasalle's downtown Tulsa and get better quality food and service. My daughter ordered buffalo wings, they brought out dry, overcooked chicken wings. When we said she ordered buffalo, the waitress brought out a side of their version of buffalo sauce. Staff was not attentive, we had to ask for silverware (plastic spoon), refills on water and took so long to come back after sitting us i decided not to order an app because of wait time. The decor was really bad and the cleanliness was not great either. And to add to the tacklers of this place they serve everything in Styrofoam. So wasteful...

    You know when you kind of love a place so much you almost don't want the whole world to find out…read moreabout it? That was this place for me. I had noticed it before when visiting the Christmas Chute, but the reviews were a little mixed so we never gave it a try. Fast forward to this weekend when we got invited to a birthday at the speakeasy upstairs... and I'm so glad we finally went. First of all -- they're doing a great job with the speakeasy concept because I genuinely had no idea it was there. It's upstairs above the restaurant and you need a code word to get in. Since we were already there, we decided to have dinner first and the menu honestly surprised me in the best way. It's very much Southern comfort food, but elevated a bit. The vibe inside is eclectic and interesting. The staff was super friendly, and even on a Saturday night it wasn't overly busy. The new streets in Sapulpa look great now that the construction is finished, but because most of the parking is behind the buildings the street can look like a ghost town even when places are actually busy. Kind of a weird illusion. They start you off with bread and a trio of fresh butters which was unexpected and delicious. The bread itself wasn't anything fancy, but the butter definitely was. I wasn't very hungry, so I ordered from the kids menu (which I very much appreciated did not say "12 and under"). I got a grilled cheese and the waitress suggested adding a cup of tomato bisque. Yes please. Both were excellent. My husband ordered the grilled chicken and said it was moist and really good. They also have a full bar and a huge coffee bar, which I thought was a fun touch. Then we headed upstairs to the speakeasy and it's a whole different vibe up there. Very cool space. Also extremely eclectic. Think Tommy Bahama meets world traveler's curio cabinet. There were travel finds from around the world displayed in cases, parrot chandeliers, a baby grand piano, and a cheetah print pool table. It somehow all works. Live music was by Steve Lindell and he was fantastic. Two thumbs up. Bar service was great, just a little slow -- but to be fair I don't think they were expecting a 40-person birthday group to roll in all at once. All in all it was a fantastic night. If it wasn't about 45 minutes from my house, we would probably be regulars. But maybe it's okay if it stays just a little bit of a hidden gem.

The shrimp were tiny and the sandwich was covered with a sauce I didn't like. It should have occurred to me that the fried green tomatoes might also be Cajun. We don't like Cajun but thought the sandwiches might not have all the Cajun seasoning. We should have asked. Another lady at the table got the same thing and she didn't like hers, either. She did ask for ranch dressing for the fried green tomatoes. I followed suite. It did make the tomato's easier to eat but they still were not good. We only got 3 slices each and didn't finish them. I left almost all of my sandwich. I broke off a piece of the bread hoping it might be a good rich bread that I could nibble on. No luck. My husband ordered crawfish étouffée. He said it wasn't warm and tasted like it had been under a heat lamp too long. It was also salty and he has to watch his sodium. He left nearly all of it. One couple ordered voodoo chicken and smashed potatoes. They liked it and ate it all. One person got a chicken sandwich that he said was good. The 2 children got hamburgers and Mac and cheese. They loved the Mac and cheese but barely ate any of the burgers. Their grandmother took a bite of one of the burgers and said it was good. She took the burgers home for the kids. They put the gratuity on the check without telling us. My husband was about to add a gratuity but his sister noticed it was already added and stopped him. They charged us to use a credit card. That alone is enough to keep me from going back. The ambiance was New Orleans decor and pleasant.

I just kept waiting. For our main courses we had the bone-in pork chop. Thick, juicy, and properly rested paired with red mashed potatoes.... Which were very good. The seasonal corn - was gone so quick! It was just so delicious. Ate that right up!! The shrimp scampi leaned heavily into garlic and butter in the best possible way. Shrimp were big, tender and juicy. Unfortunately my rotisserie chicken.... was very dry. I kept choking because of that. I was unable to eat it, that was disappointing. As far as atmosphere... very warm lighting, intimate feels, candle lit, steady energy, attentive staff. The dining room hums with laughter and happy customers... but without overtaking the conversation at our table. The volume was comfortable considering it was a full house.
