    Lunch menu!!
    Jim L.

    First time visit...and super impressed! Simple southern fare at a good price...what more can you ask for. Momma had the gumbo/fish/shrimp lunch special. She enjoyed all of it, especially the grilled shrimp! Grilling is an up charge, but worth it!! Gumbo had a wee bit of heat, which normally is a stopper for her...but she made it disappear. I had the Sami Q, chipped brisket with onions and peppers on a hogie roll. It was delicious and the brisket super tender. When we drove by at lunch this place was packed, and we now know why. They run lunch specials until 3. This is definitely worth a try!

    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...

Decided to ask the former fire chief for a recommendation and he said try Crossroads Cookery. Our friends wanted to go antiquing so this was right in the heart of Sapulpa's antique area, so perfect place for lunch. I really enjoyed all the care they took with making it feel nostalgic but classy at the same time. It's a lovely restaurant but they also have an ice cream parlor area, bar and coffee bar. Now the food was ok for some of us and one in our party got a way overcooked burger that was dry so it sucked for her. My Santa Fe bowl was so good and I recommend it. Hubby got the string onions for the table to share and they were delicious. Our server was really interesting and friendly as well as took care of us. We'll definitely go back during the Christmas Chute!

    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.
