My daughter and I went to Sami's for dinner. There were quite a few people dining in as well. My daughter ordered fish and fries and I got the fish and shrimp with green beans and the red beans and rice. Our food arrived fresh and hot. We actually had to wait for it to cool down some. Everything was so delicious and nicely seasoned. The fish and shrimp were lightly battered and flavorful. The green beans and red beans and rice were good and flavorful. It's a nice place for that seafood dinner. The prices were reasonable as well. Go give them a try. Delicious food. read more

Every bite was amazing The catfish and the shrimp are so good. Everything was. The staff was very very friendly. Will definitely go back.

First time going, found from Facebook. It was sooooo good omg. It feel good to finally go to a restaurant that has REAL catfish and I'm not being scammed. Most places give swai and label it "catfish", everything was seasoned to PERFECTION. The homemade Cajun tartar sauce was next level. I live over 30 mins away and I was in the area to go to once upon child. I had to swing by here while I was out that way. My five year old approves of it too, he kept saying this place is fit for a king service was great, I got it made to go but ate in the restaurant. It felt good that I didn't have to ask for this condiments, everything was already in the bag. Tartar sauce, homemade cocktail, hot sauce and ketchup. Where they do that at... Ambiance was geriatric but everyone was happy and eating good. read more

We ended up here totally by accident because our original choice was closed on Monday and what a happy accident it was. Located in the old Pizza Hut building the restaurant is roomy and comfortable. They bring you a menu but you go up to the register to order. The food came out quickly and it was nice and hot. I had the gumbo with a side of fried shrimp and a catfish filet. Everything was perfectly cooked with their homemade cocktail sauce and tartar sauce stealing the show. The Mrs had a hamburger which she quickly proclaimed was better than Freddy's, she's also a big fan of the seasoned fries. Overall, very well done and we'll be back. read more

Stopped by as we were looking for a new place we had not been to. Sami's did not disappoint! Just a quick dinner in a no fuss environment was what we found. Greeted promptly and ordered within a few minutes of looking over the menu. Items ordered included the Gumbo Special, Catfish Nugget Dinner and for an appetizer we order the half order of the fried okra and two crabcakes. Can't say I have ever had better catfish nuggets! These were good size nuggets with an amazing seasoned breading and cooked perfectly. While most of these items were fried, there was no grease in the bottom of the serving baskets. The food did not leave your fingers feeling greasy and had the best breading and "crunch". There were sauces delivered to our table and these are made in house and all very good. Large portions as we could have shared, but then we wouldn't have been able to try multiple items! They also offer large quantity ordering too and the prices seemed great for those options too. Our waitress was amazing and attentive. Can't wait to return! read more

WOW!!! I haven't had great southern cooking like this since we moved out of Florida/Georgia...everything from the fried green tomatoes, fish, shrimp which I believe were gulf shrimp, red beans and rice, green beans, and chicken came out hot. We actually needed to let it cool off before eating. And topped it all off with sweet tea. The staff were very friendly and helpful when ordering. The restaurant was very clean and well laid out, not cramped. The restaurant rooms were a little dated but clean. We will definitely be back as everything we ordered was delicious and had just enough spice/heat to make you sweat a little. Highly recommended!! read more

I've been trying to get here for awhile after all the raving reviews and I was not disappointed. Private parking, warm greeting and friendly faces awaited me as I walked in. Building nice and clean and spacious. Great condiments on the tables for dine in greatness satisfaction. I ordered the Sammy Special at $16.99 2 fish, 2 chicken, 2 shrimp and green beans and hush puppies for sides and a sweet lemonade. , everything was fantastic except the hush puppies ( too hard for my liking) . Staff brought food to our table, they were very attentive and had great attitudes. I will definitely be back to try more on this menu. Customer service was an 10! read more

Be careful when ordering to go...! Sami's Southern Kitchen sneaks in added costs, and never gets the order right. It's happened to my wife several times. I advised her to always check, but they tie the bags in a knot, making it difficult to open as a way to deter checking. The food is good, but you must watch your order closely!! read more

I am adding this place in rotation as one of the neighborhood go to. The service was extremely kind and recommended a plate with fish, chicken tenders and shrimp. I really enjoyed the fish and shrimp. Everything was hot and fresh. There was a sauce that was absolutely delicious. I'm unsure the name of it, it looked like some special sauce that was included in the bag. The restaurant was well maintained and had a nice size crowd. I would recommend and attend again. read more

I've been wanting to go try Sami's for a while now, just waiting for the right time and finally we did. I heard of Sami's in Yelp (of course) and I love gumbo and fried chicken/fish, so why not try it. Our experience did not disappoint. We all loved the food we ordered and the wait time is not that long. The store on the outside looks really legit southern food restaurant, coming inside though is not that much, but it was clean and not overly crowded. I wish they would somehow update the inside to get that southern kitchen ambiance. I understand they just moved in from an existing fast food and who knows, with our experience that dinner it certainly will lead them to success. As I said I love gumbo.. I have a friend who cooks the best gumbo ever, very generous amount of ingredients that makes it very tasty and unforgettable. What we ordered is should be a good "go to" while waiting to have another of my friend's gumbo. It wasn't bad at all. The Gumbo meal came with 2 bowls of gumbo to share, and with shrimp and chicken it was the perfectly priced meal to get. Oh, it came with that bread too and we loved it. The gumbo meal does not come with the 2 sides so take note of that. We ordered also the #31, containing 3 fried fish, 3 fried shrimps, 3 fried chicken fingers and 2 sides. OH MY... we absolutely loved the fried fish! that's the best fried fish I've ever had, seriously... The seasoning was perfect for my taste bud.. dipped in their tartar sauce, makes this a real comfort food for me. The chicken fingers are HUMONGOUS!! I love eating at Raising Cane's and these chicken fingers just ousted them.. seriously.. I hope they stay that size though.. it's a perfect "to share" food.. The shrimp is just OK for me.. nothing too special, but then the coating is what I think stands out. Lastly, my wife wanted to try the green beans because she heard quite a lot of good reviews on them, but we didn't like it. It's not a deal breaker though, we'll just opt another side. It was too salty for us. Our order came with the sauces, and we love the tartar sauce.. There's another somewhat spicy sauce and it's good for the fries and shrimp as well. Overall this was a good experience and we're definitely coming back! read more

The catfish with lemon pepper was on point. The gumbo is as good also. I'd try the gizzards and chicken next time. Will be back.

When the O'Fallon Sami's closed it moved into this former Pizza Hut and the plain, spartan dining room is not dressed to impressed. That's okay because the friendly service and made-to-order meals make Sami's stand out among other fast food places in this busy restaurant area. Inspired by Louisiana cooking, Sami's sandwich/seafood/chicken menu isn't overly spicy. Breaded catfish had a zesty black pepper seasoning that wasn't off-putting. And red beans and rice barely hit the heat scale. Entree pricing compares well to fast food and fast casual places. At Sami's you order at a counter and your meal is brought to your table. When I wanted a cola refill I had to request it at the counter because there was no table follow-up. Still, the service that existed was warm and friendly. My companion had had a child's meal here before and suggested one from the half dozen offerings. What a great value: two large fish filets and one side for about $8. I was more than satisfied by the portions. . read more

Sami's is in a repurposed fast food restaurant. It's slightly austere with some ambience of the previous occupant. The owners are very friendly and the food keeps me coming back. The prices are fair and the portions are generous, order the gumbo if you don't believe me !! My only complaint is the television blaring. Thank goodness I can turn the microphones off on my Bluetooth hearing aids and pipe in my preferred entertainment. Did I mention how friendly the staff is ? I can't say it too much. read more

Excellent service and food! Highly recommend the fish and wings. We love all the sides too.

We stopped here for lunch on a Sunday at 2:30 and the place was hopping! Always a good sign! Kids and adults loved it and everyone at the table was muttering to themselves as they ate "man this is really good" and we all were stuffed when we left. Kids have already requested to come back again! read more

Are you kidding me? What a hidden gem! The fish and shrimp are seasoned and cooked to PERFECTION! The staff is so friendly. This is definitely getting added into our rotation. I cant even put into words how happy I am right now! RUN to Sam's it is outstanding! read more

I must have gone to a different restaurant. Neither the onion rings or mushrooms had any flavor (which was an issue ongoing problem) Maybe since I'm from the South I expect flavor. Fish was cooked fine. Batter zero flavor. Shrimp okay cook. Batter no flavor. Sadly except for the Sami sauce and really great pickles. I could have made a better meal from the frozen food department at Walmart. Ordered onion rings, fried mushrooms, 2 shrimp poboys and a fish/chicken combo meal. read more

Very impressed with this place. Very clean inside and helpful cashier/server. We had the fried fish, gumbo, fried shrimp and red beans and rice. The fish was cooked perfectly, the gumbo was tasty and the red beans and rice had a nice smokey flavor. Portion sizes were ample and the pricing reasonable. read more

Sami's has a nice take on fast casual southern dining. When you walk in you are greeted by a friendly staff and there are nice menu monitors displayed above the register for all to view. They also provide physical menu's for those who prefer to have a menu in hand. Their menu offers po boys, burgers, appetizers, fried seafood, sides, chicken strips, desserts and more! I placed a to go order for their gumbo special which comes with a generous portion of gumbo, a piece of fried fish (I believe it was tilapia) and 2 pieces of fried jumbo shrimp. I also ordered the 10 piece chicken family meal which comes with 10 buffalo sauced hot wings and 2 sides of your choice, for the sides I chose their corn and french fries. The food is dropped hot and fresh to order so there was a small 15 minute wait time, which didn't bother me one bit. Now onto the food.... The gumbo is a flavorful mild gumbo. I'm not sure if there's an option to kick it up with a lil more heat for those who like it spicy. The fried fish and shrimp was well seasoned and perfectly fried. The buffalo chicken were nice meaty wings with a crispy breading and the buffalo is a little more on the milder side.Their fries are well seasoned and their corn had great flavor. Sami's is a really good restaurant and I will definitely be back to try more of their menu! read more

I really enjoyed my visit to Sami's in St. Peters MO. It was refreshing to have another seafood offer besides Red Lobster and Long Johns Silver. My first visit I had the #30 grilled. The fish was really moist and perfectly grilled with the right amount of spice. The shrimp I think are my favorite large and flavorful. The oysters I would not get again. It was mostly just fried batter and the oyster was soo tiny that it was lost and flavorless. I didn't finish them for fear of them being bad. The greenbeans were soo good and I should have ordered two of this side instead of the coleslaw. The owner/wait staff came around and offered additional refills and a nice little cheesecake bite for dessert. Cant wait to go back. read more

Recently stopped in here on recommendation from a friend. It's a family-owned spot, and I had a chance to talk to the owner (Joe). I've seen some references online indicating it is connected to Sam's Southern Cooking in O'Fallon, but Joe said they are not associated with that anymore. Joe went around to every table asking them how things were and if they needed anything. I ordered some items to carryout. I think it was a #36, which is 3pc each of fish/chicken/shrimp, and that comes with 2 sides and a drink ($19.99). I thought the overall pricing of the menu was very reasonable. I got the red beans & rice and fries as sides. The fries were buried under the fried items, so by the time I got the food home the fries were soggy and not tasty at all. They were not seasoned at all either. The beans & rice were good. The side is pretty small for the meal and needed a bit more rice. I wished I had tried the hushpuppies after I got home. I also ordered a bowl of gumbo and an order of fried mushrooms, just to hit a lot of things on the menu. Both of these were great. Again, I could have used a little more rice to go with the gumbo. The fish breading is pretty light cornmeal-style, and all of the protein items were excellent and were cooked to order. The inside seating is pretty basic, but I liked it that way. I will note that since they do cook everything to order, it did take 15-20 mins to get the food and Joe did warn me of that. It was well worth it, because everything was fresh and piping hot. Recommend calling in your takeout order to avoid having to wait if you're not going to eat in the building. They do have family-sized quantities on the menu as well. Overall, this is a great spot, and we'll definitely order from here again! Give them a try! read more

Joe always takes care of me with excellent service & excellent tasting food. The prices are reasonable(especially when U see the size of the Shrimp, that U receive! & the portions). The Fried Green Tomatoes will leave U speechless & this is coming from a guy who does not even like Tomatoes. The seasoning is perfect on them. The interior is roomy & comfortable. Would love to see them put a Drive Thru on current location for the times that I'm unable to eat inside & I would be thrilled to see 1 established in the Maryland Heights area or somewhere closer to my. location. I hope that they continue to do good business for the amount of hardwork & dedication that they have put into the business. If U desire delicious, reasonably priced, good size portions in a comfortable, roomy, & relaxing atmosphere, piping hot then Sami's is the place!!! read more

Super friendly staff that seems, rightfully, proud of their new restaurant. Fried green tomatoes were super hot, super crispy and super abundant! Fried fish was equally hot and crispy with a whisper thin cornmeal crust. My guy said the sample of gumbo was delicious. There are a lot of things to try on this menu and I'm looking forward to working my way through the menu! read more

The catfish is ok. They could season a bit better. But overall it's hot cooked to order. They give hot fries and bread. I give it 3 stars

Place was clean. The staff were professional and welcoming. Coming in on a Saturday it was fairly packed with older customers. I was initially nervous, but I was wrong. The food was fresh. The fish and chicken were great: i didn't like the oysters that much and the side options were kind of bland but I would eat here again and again. If you want some coo soul food. Try them out. read more
