When we first entered, the place was crowded, and we soon learnt just why. Even though we went there on a weekend without any reservation, we didn't have to wait very long to be seated and then waited on. First we were brought some bread rolls with butter. The bread was very soft and tasty. A nice way to start the meal. I had ordered a chicken gyro with sweet potato fries, which was as yummy as it was filling. My husband had ordered blackened salmon, which was tasty but pretty small for the price. Other than that, we had a good time at the tavern and the food tastes yum, answering why the place keeps busy. read more

First visit but not our last ! Enjoyed a tasty and satisfying meal of Blackened mahi, with Parmesan creamed corn, and a house salad with their own Creamy Italian dressing. The wife's dish differed only with Salmon. All very delicious and served quickly. Finishing with a sinful Bananas Foster (Nana's Foster) for dessert. Kudos to our waitress, Charlotte, who was very pleasant and accommodating. Looking forward to our next visit and exploring the menu further. read more

Sammy G's Tavern - American Near Me - High Point, North Carolina

We just had our second visit to Sammy G's Tavern. I'm definitely adding this to our list of Triad favorites. Food: Absolutely yes! During our first visit, I had the Sammie G's Burger and my husband had the blackened salmon. Both were really good. I also tried their sweet potato fries and highly recommend those. This visit I had the grilled salmon and sautéed vegetables. This will be my new go-to meal. Be ware of the complimentary bread. It's so delicious! Atmosphere/Location: while it is off Eastchester, you have to go back into the shopping center. There is plenty of parking available. The inside dining room is pretty large. They've easily accommodated our large group (10+) during both visits without using their event space. Speaking of, they offer a nice private dining area that looks like it could comfortably hold a group of 25-30 people. They also have done outdoor seating on their patio. Service: the hostess are friendly and the wait staff has been great during both visits. During the recent visit, our waitress anticipated all of our needs and we wanted for nothing. Our food came out hot and fresh in a more than reasonable time. Dessert: The restaurant partners with Cheesecakes by Alex, which are amazing. However, I highly recommend walking next door to Uncle Cheesecake. Those are some of the best desserts ever. You may recognize the owner from the show Chopped. read more

Dined here for lunch on a Friday afternoon. Upon entry, we didn't wait long to be seated in a booth. There were only two other groups dining in at the time and only one person serving the area. While waiting, I did notice that they offer outdoor seating as well. Our server, Dema was such a delight! We even shared a moment about our names & plenty of laughs during our time here. I know what you're here for, so let's get into it. I usually eat light and this was no different. After reviewing the menus, I decided on the Tavern salad with the creamy Italian dressing. The salad was pretty simple but filling! The bite size bread that they bring to the table is yummy! Don't eat too much before your meal. I also ordered the hibiscus mule, which was sweet and refreshing. To whomever suggested the soup, THANK YOU! My wife ordered the lobster bisque soup & it truly made her day! She initially ordered the cup versus bowl portion and regretted it with the first spoonful. Needless to say, she had another cup before leaving. Dema was even nice enough to draft up a pomegranate tea for the wife upon request. We would return again based on the reasonably priced menu, awesome service, and overall feel of the place! read more

For entrees I had the stuffed flounder. My husband had a steak & cheese sandwich. We both had dessert. I had the crème brûlée. My husband a brownie sundae. We will definitely return to this great restaurant! read more

My friends and I stopped here for a lovely lunch and cocktails! We were all very pleased! To start with, the drinks were delicious. I ordered the Leid Out Martini which was very sweet and delicious. My friend ordered the 1800 hibiscus margarita which was different than the typical lime margarita and VERY tasty! We all got salads. Very fresh and dressed well. Croutons were crispy little bites of heaven! The bread brought to the table was also the best bread roll I've had in a while. Dipped in the Caesar from the salad As for entrees, I ordered the Greek pasta with shrimp no olives. It was AMAZING. The lemony zesty sauce marched perfectly with the feta and the shrimp. The shrimps were tailless and perfect size. One friend ordered the blackened salmon well done with their creamed corn (sweet and yummy!) with a side of mashed potatoes. She was overwhelmingly happy with her meal and wanted to return the next day lol. Second friend ordered the baked pasta with chicken. It was a very heart size and was deliciously covered in sauce and cheese. My friend only ate half of it and unfortunately her leftovers were thrown away however, they politely and quickly remade more for her to take home! Excellent service! The chocolate molten lava cake was the perfect way to ens the meal. I look forward to more lunches here! read more

the service is always amazing and i've never ordered something i didn't like! The salmon is their specialty but i recommend the ahi tuna!!

The atmosphere here is great, everyone is nice and the food is incredible every time.

Well, the food is cooked by a real chef and it shows in the flavor and quality. The service is always good and it has a great bar area and a relaxed but upscale vibe. Note: it can get loud in the front - quieter in the back room read more

We don't get to High Point very often and from the reviews decided to try Sammy G's. Didn't realize it is part of the same restaurant group that owns Fertellis and Three Bulls. I would say this sits in between these two. More of a nice neighborhood bar with pretty much an American menu. I tried the soup which was great and then had the wings, which were okay. Eating at the bar, the bartender was very attentive and friendly. read more

We had our son's rehearsal dinner here, no regrets, just time management challenges. The delicious food was delayed coming from the kitchen since we were a group of 20 and they also needed to work in an already busy restaurant on a Thursday night. The person in charge of managing our room left early that day, with permission. So I guided the staff when asked what they could do to help, they brought more servings of bread and refilled drinks. Had I known, I would have filled the time with more entertaining and wedding activities. They were great about guiding us through the reservation and selecting the menu options. Their newly updated banquet room gave us privacy and a dedicated staff to attend to our needs. They offer the ability to bring your own wine paying a corking fee, which saves a lot of money and let you choose. I called several times to talk to the owner, never once received a call back. I'm leaving this post with a hope that it'll help someone else. Again- great food and the staff was amazing, beautiful venue, private space, just make plans to fill in the gaps and you will have a great time. read more

Fav lunch spot in high point! Salad is a little expensive ($20 in April'23) but it gets me a meal and a half. Service is typically pretty quick. Atmosphere could be considered outdated, it's not an "instagrammable" place per say, but fortunately it's a lunch spot with great food and service. read more

Sammy G's Tavern - Fratelli's Salad with blackened salmon - American Near Me - High Point, North Carolina

The food was really good pre-pandemic. Same for the staff. Unfortunately, I do not believe they recovered. The decor has been the same for 15 yrs. The bathrooms are atrocious. Makes me wonder what the kitchen looks like. The food is okay for the price that you pay. It's been there so long that people ignore the little things that should not be ignored. The ingredients used have definitely taken a step backwards. They need a refresh of the physical restaurant and quality of the food needs to go back to what it once was about 3 years ago. Hire more staff read more

Girls night out with a friend who lives in the area suggested Sammy G's. It was a Friday night and pretty busy but we scored a table. We ordered two glasses of wine and ordered our food. Both we served by a waitress that was professional and well trained. Always worries us when wait staff don't write things down but our orders came out perfect. Food was hot and delicious!! Atmosphere is suitable for a Girls Night Out or Date Night. You could bring your family but I would suggest older kids not ones that would be loud and antsy. read more

We arrived s little after 6PM on a Friday and were immediately seated. The main dining area was set up for 3 large groups. Our waitress was nice and responsive. We ordered the wings for our appetizer. Served with celery and ranch. The hot sauce brown sugar sauce was pleasant. The wings were average, nothing terrible and nothing spectacular. For our entrées my husband ordered the Tavern Burger with grilled chicken instead of s beef patty (hold the cheese and mayo). I ordered the chicken Teriyaki served over rice pilaf. It comes with a salad, and I opted for the house salad with Greek vinaigrette. Our waitress put our order in before the large parties which was considerate, however my husband received the Sammy G instead of the Tavern. (He doesn't eat food that is sent back to the kitchen) so there is no review for the sandwich. The chicken in the chicken Teriyaki was tender and flavorful. The veggies were crisp and fresh. The sandwich was removed from our check and the staff apologized for the mistake. Pros: Quick weekend seating without a reservation Nice and accommodating staff Great for larger parties Intimate setting Great date night spot Food served within reasonable times Cons: Few staff members wear masks Mistaken order (waitress didn't write down order) Order may get stuck behind large party orders read more

I truly did not expect this place to be as great as it was! It's kinda of hidden if you're not from the area, but worth the visit! Because it was storming we ordered appetizers and a flight of beers while there and took the entrees home. The appetizers were royal Thai shrimp and their wings. I dont eat wings but my girlfriend said they were great. They looked and smelled really good to me. The shrimp was fried, lightly and delicious. The app portion were enough to share and just enough for a snacker until we got home. You should really try the Thai shrimp if you like a bit of spice. The beer flight was incredible and before we order there was even a small sample provided. Our flight was (2) Strawberry Lemonade Sour, Mimosa sour, and a Watermelon beer. We really enjoy sour beer and THIS flight satisfied the palate! The entrees were Stuffed Flounder and Lemon Chicken. The sauce on the lemon chicken is very creamy, and the lemon twang compliments the grilled chicken well. Get the creamed corn as a side, it's delicious! Kinda sweet, and buttery! It's delicious! Both entrees reheat well and the chicken dinner was enough for two people, the flounder dish is a bit smaller but very filling! A hidden little gem, with fantastic food, and service. The bar guest were very friendly as well. We had conversations sparked up with us on both sides. read more

I had the blackened salmon sandwich with sweet potato fries. The sandwich was good and so were the fries. The food was ready and served a lot quicker than I expected although it as crowded for Father's Day. My niece had the blackened shrimp tacos and regular fries. She also stated her food was good. She said the aoli sauce was lemon flavored, which was different, but she still liked it. The restaurant is nice with an almost western look but with a bit of elegance. read more

Obviously, they were busy. It's Saturday night before St. Patrick's Day. We chose to sit outside, believe that may have been our first mistake. The chairs had not been wiped down at all. Had to ask twice for them to wipe them down before I could sit. I get it it's outside, but if you're seating outside, make sure everything is wiped down. Thought I'd bring my son here. He had never been to Sammy G's, as he's from Michigan. We both ordered beers and water. Ordered fried onion ribbons for our appetizer. It came out quickly. So quickly it beat our beers and water . Speaking of water, we were on our second beers when the waitress graced us with our water. 40 minutes after asking. It took over an hour for the rest of our food, 2 sandwiches. We should have gone to Subway. Anyway, my fish sandwich was decent, and you can't really mess up cut-up fruit. My son's steak and cheese had basically no cheese, cold in the center, no flavor. His sautéed spinach which there is an up charge for wasn't even sautéed, more like barely steamed, and no garlic or seasoning.( no salt or pepper on the table either) you shouldn't have to ask, but figured It'd be an hour for that. He did say his pickle was hot. It's probably from our food sitting under a heat lamp for too long. The waitress came to our table after we were about done and asked how everything was. Told her the truth. My son was starving and could barely eat their food. The manager was kind enough to take my son's meal off the ticket. read more

Found another gem today. We were out shopping and just looking for a quick snack and cocktail. We arrived after lunch and before dinner so it was not busy. We were seated right away and our server was super friendly. He has worked there for 13 years which is always a good sign. He was super helpful and gave some great recommendations. We settled on the calamari and shrimp. I think the shrimp could have been a little more spicy since it mentions spicy in the description. Next time I will go on Thursday when the martinis are 5.00. Also recommended by our server! read more

Good location, friendly people good prices, delicious food. The restaurant is well established in North High Point, focused on American cuisine but also on seafood. Good value and priced appropriately. Very friendly personnel and its excellent customer service. We had steak and cheese sub and the Sammy G (fried flounder platter). The food as delicious and served timely. This is a good venue to gather with friends or casual dinner. We'll come back. read more

Went to Sammy G's for Girls Night and enjoyed ourselves. The restaurant was casual dining but nicely decorated and had a nice vibe. We had reservations for 6 and our wait was minimal when we arrived. The food was good. The shrimp appetizer was wonderful. Everyone enjoyed their meals. The server was fun to interact with and was very helpful. read more

It was okay, I went with the Tinsley Tuna that was recommended from the waiter, I was trying to go healthy. The seared tuna was at average quality but I was dissatisfied with the veggies that went with it. It was very water and seemed like the vegetables were frozen. I like the Tuna but would just go with appetizer. read more

I had the stuffed flounder last week and it was absolutely fabulous. Charlotte took care of me at the bar. The bread was fresh. My only gripe is $16 glasses of wine. The food was tasty and the service was splendid. It was a nice find. It was my 1st time and I was impressed. read more

Took a gamble on a new place and lost. Two stars for service. The bar staff was very friendly and were able to answer the questions I had about the menu. The food was less than desirable. Calamari was super chewy and couldn't have been anything other than frozen and fried. We probably ate a quarter of it at best. Not sure why they had a pile of lettuce under it other than for presentation, but I'm in the court of only serving what's meant to eat on a plate. The Caesar salad was standard, nothing to complain or write home about. The cup of soup my wife had seemed like a decent value for the size/price, but she only ate half of it. The filet was abysmal. It was wedge shaped, so half of it was as ordered, the other half was completely well done. For what is the most tender cut of beef on a cow, it was dry and stringy. I'm actually impressed how they were able to do what they did to what should have been a nice cut of beef for $35. Other than the friendly staff, there was nothing redeemable about dining here and I can confidently say that not only will we not come back, when people ask for dining recommendations I will make sure to tell them to steer clear of this place. I can't think of a worse meal that we have had anywhere in the triad. read more

Traveling for work and finding a spot that serves food that stands out is always a delight. After my first meal here months ago I thought how good it was, was a stroke of luck.

Wow this place is fantastic! The lavender martini is so yummy!! I can't wait to go back for more. We ordered the Royal Thai shrimp appetizer and it was delicious. For my entree I ordered the Tinsley Tuna and omg it was phenomenal!!! The sauce, I love sauce!!! And the vegetables were drenched in sauce and the tuna was perfectly cooked. If we weren't in public I would have licked that plate it was so good! We will definitely be back for more!! read more

My first time here was a great experience. The server was nice and attentive throughout my visit, making great recommendations on food and drink menus. If you've followed some of my other reviews, you know I'm always in search of a perfect cook on a salmon steak/fillet. This one was awesome, cooked medium, nice and juicy inside and Blake s seasoning on the outside. It came w spinach and corn for sides (and a side salad) but I swapped the corn for the broccoli and peppers side dish because I KNEW I would be going to Uncle Cheesecake next door! The sides well seasoned well, jus added a little salt and pepper. Great job! read more

Sammy G's Tavern - Blackened salmon with broccoli and peppers, and sautéed spinach - American Near Me - High Point, North Carolina

Super friendly neighborhood bar! Great food and drinks! Wednesday my favorite day to go.

I'm pretty picky and while in High Point for my son's game we stopped here afterwards after a quick Yelp search. The food was hot, fresh, and tasty. I love seafood but was a bit skeptical ordering it at a non seafood centered restaurant. For dessert we ordered the bananas foster and cheesecake. Alex makes great cheesecake so I knew that would be good. However, the bananas foster was delicious. I actually preferred the Sammy G's version over the traditional. It's not convenient to us in Greensboro but I'll definitely make a point to come back! Excellent food and great service too! read more

One of my favorite restaurants-Jeff is the best. My Mom is in town and wanted to see if anything had changed. It hadn't. Staff wore masks & they acknowledged social distancing in a cool way. They used plants on the booths. Much more pleasant than a sign. read more

Eliminate the practice of asking your patrons to leave after they finished dinner because you reserved tables for others. I have never been so offended by any restaurant manager in my life as I was when we were basically asked to leave to make room for more patrons Do not make your problem become our problem. And by the way, your fish sandwich, hardened with crust and a taste worse than a day-old McDonald's Fish Filet sandwich, sucks ass. read more

I came to Sammy G's for a relative's birthday dinner and overall I was pleased with the experience. The space is welcoming and big enough to accommodate larger groups. The menu is not huge, but it has a good mix of seafood, meat, and vegetable items and there is enough variety that most individuals can find a few things they'd enjoy trying. We had a party of 7, and all but one of us enjoyed our entrees (that person ordered the fish sandwich and felt it was lacking in flavor). I tried the Shrimp Island Salad, which is a Greek salad with grilled shrimp. The shrimp were large and perfectly cooked and the salad was fresh, though it could have used a bit more feta and the lettuce was still pretty wet from having been washed. Three people in our party ordered the blackened salmon, and they all loved it. Other entrees that were appreciated were the chicken teriyaki and the tavern burger. We also split the fried green tomatoes appetizer, which was good, and the dip trio, which was just okay. Service was attentive and friendly. When in the area, I'd be happy to come back. read more
