Not sure why it took so long to finally dine here, but we have come twice in the last month. The service has been very good. Especially since so many places are struggling with good customer service. Our meals came out in a timely manner, our drinks were refreshed quickly. Upon request the staff gave great recommendations. It can be busy, but that's a good thing too. Means others enjoy their experience as well. We are a fan! read more

It was clean, Food was amazing and great spacing outside. A must try! Waitress was very nice and attentive to orders and timing of them. Just everything delightful. read more

Sammy G's Tavern - Blacken Salmon. Dinner portion. I cleaned the whole plate and was satisfied. Delightful dinner! - American Near Me - High Point, North Carolina

BIG 5 Stars!!! ( I would have giving more if I could We decided to venture out and go try this spot here in high point. Friendly staff, knowledgeable servers ( I honestly can't remember the server name) she was also the bartender there. We came around lunch time. She was very welcoming, attentive made suggestions, checked on us without being overbearing. Made sure our cups our full. When they changed shifts she was vocal and informed us that the table will be transferred, the other older gentleman who served us was also very nice. The food was very good. Their calamari is fresh and delicious, the drinks were ON POINT!!! . Also server nice selection of top shelf which is always a plus. We both had fish, was fresh and well seasoned. I really enjoyed the fact we were not rushed at any point. All of their sea food is fresh coming every day and you can taste it. The spot itself have a very calming vibes, nice bar area, the booths were spacious and comfortable, the place itself as well as the bathroom were clean. We must have been there for 4 hours with our 2 months old, we were not pressed to leave or were made to feel that we need to go. it was just nice and pleasant experience. Definitely coming back read more

Service was good! The food came out quick and was amazing. We had the stuffed flounder and ribeye. Both were out of this world good. The restaurant has been around for years and yet the restaurant was very clean and up to date. High marks all around. read more

Nice selection and good food. Service was good but a little slow. However, did not mind waiting while enjoying the outdoor seating.

Omg, the food was flavorful, the salad dressing is made in house so yummy. Fresh bread, the broccoli Alfredo was creamy and delicious. I will be back! Oh the cocktails so good!! read more

Sammy G's Tavern - Bourbon marinated ribeye oh so delicious - American Near Me - High Point, North Carolina

I stopped at Sammy G's in High Point for a quick lunch. I was able to grab a seat at the bar. I sat near a few regulars that told me about all of the delicious menu options. The menu has a nice variety for any food mood. There was a really nice brunch menu available in addition to the regular menu. I decided on the steak and cheese because I had breakfast earlier. It was soooo good. I love that Gruyère cheese was used in addition to mozzarella. The steak was tender and juicy. There was just enough of all of the ingredients. The sandwich wasn't greasy and the hoagie roll was toasted to perfection. The fries were golden, crispy, and delicious. Along with the great food was an excellent staff. I felt welcomed from the time that I arrived until the time that I left. I will definitely make more trips to Sammy G's Tavern so that I can try other items on the menu! read more

Sammy G's Tavern - Steak and Cheese with fries - American Near Me - High Point, North Carolina

I didn't like the food (overly salty) but our server was wonderful. Atmosphere was pleasant. My friend liked the corn; it had Parmesan cheese and tasted great. read more

This place was on our list to try, so we came here and got a sampling of apps to try. The ambience itself is clean if not basic. Booths and a bar with sports on tv. My wife wanted fried green tomatoes. I got the pork cracklings with pimento cheese sauce. My older daughter wanted fried calamari and nachos. She wound up eating neither. And the baby got both regular and sweet potato fries, which my older one wound up eating as well. We also got the Thai shrimps because it looked good. To start, the service was very friendly, helpful, and fast. We came in on a Sunday when it wasn't very busy, and the wait time was not bad at all. As for the food, I'm sorry to say it was generally overpriced and underwhelming. The nachos, which I didn't want but ended up eating because my older daughter didn't eat it even though she asked for it, were just okay, and the chips were honestly stale. The cracklings with pimento dip were 5 star in my book. This is the first time that I got cracklings that actually crackled! And my older daughter loved the cheese dip as well, as she proceeded to hog it all by dipping her fries in it! The Thai shrimp was good, but nothing that I couldn't get somewhere else. Fried calamari was good too, but my daughter was turned off by the sweet sauce on it. Fried green tomatoes were nice in a vodka cream sauce with goat cheese on it. I enjoyed it, and my wife loved them too. I think we've had better, but this dish was solid. I also tasted the sweet potato fries which were dusted in brown sugar. Those were nice as well. Overall, I think Sammy G was middle of the road for my first experience. Good service, clean restaurant, but fair to midland food that is not justifiable at its current price point. I would say we'd give them another chance for entrees, but we have a lot of places left on our list to try before we would return. read more

We go to see Dima and Jeff. Bar service is our favorite, and still kid friendly! Been patrons for years, you feel like family there. Typical American cuisine, with a little twist here and there. Always been impressed with the salmon, even though it's not my favorite fish, and in fact it is one menu item for a great price on the kids menu which I appreciate. Kids' taste for cuisine shouldn't be undervalued! Bonus points if you can catch the lobster bisque, it's to die for, I believe it is offered on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. I could be wrong? That's my weakness there, but all soups of the day always good, even just a good old tomato. My husband loves the Royal Thai shrimp, myself the calamari. Ahi tuna always good quality, huge salads, entrees fairly priced and generous. Complimentary bread. Love the creamed corn and garlic spinach. Large selection of side items otherwise. They are accommodating to substitutions but I never recommend going crazy with that tip as a former food service employee! Management is friendly, seating ample, can accommodate large parties, birthday treat on the house (again y'all, don't go crazy!) Half price wine on Wednesday's and brunch Sunday mimosas and Bloody Mary specials, go get you some! read more

Hands down the best salmon ever! Staff is excellent, food is always awesome!! My favorite restaurant!!!!

I ate here for a work meeting and it was delicious! I love the salmon and it's served over top of rice. Thank you it was a great experience. read more

Sammy G's is your average American tavern. Upon walking in, you'll notice that the restaurant is kind of dark. Even the doors are tinted. We were greeted by a chipper host and taken to our seat. We ordered three appetizers (house made chips, wings, and calamari). The wings were average (needed more seasoning), the calamari needed some extra seasoning as well, but the house made chips were delicious. I ordered the lavender and elderflower martini. It was not good. It tasted like cough syrup. For my entree, I ordered the blackened salmon and replaced the veggies it normally comes with with mashed potatoes and garlic spinach. The salmon was seasoned ok and the mashed potatoes weren't. The spinach was not garlicky enough. Our waitress (MaKayla) was awesome . She gets 5 stars . She handled our group of 8 people with ease. Overall, the food was average but the price of the food was cheap. The food isn't pricey for a reason. The service was awesome though, and that was really the highlight of our meal at Sammy G's. I don't think I would return, but MaKayla, keep up the great work. You provided great service. Finally, I totally forgot to take pictures! read more

I had been wanting to try Sammy G's and I am SO glad I did! I came for my lunch break last week and had the best experience. I was alone so I sat at the bar and my bartender, Dema, was phenomenal. She was so sweet and attentive. Obviously knew her stuff and just made the whole experience awesome. I got the soup special - Lobster bisque - which was delicious! You could really taste the Sherry. I ordered the Cajun pasta which was super flavorful and my side salad was basically the size of an entree. Very generous portions, all amazing. I got three meals out of it all! I can't wait to go back to try more, everything on the menu sounded great Thank you Dema! read more

What a great find! I'm going to start off with our luck in getting McKenzie as our server. She was Southern hospitality mixed with Kellie Pickler humor and charm and made our entire dining experience a delight! Dining with friends we don't see enough of, we chose Sammy's as a new venue. Great atmosphere! Cozy & inviting. We started with cocktails and chitchat. We were allowed plenty of time to peruse the menu and never felt rushed. The menu. It's great. Wide variety of choices...very reasonable prices. Between the four of us we chose three entrees...all were exceptional...salmon, lemon chicken (my personal choice) and fried fish. Portions sizes were generous and each entree came with a veggie (or two) and a house or Caesar salad. Yum. Can't wait to return and would highly recommend this establishment to anyone! read more

Though the name calls to mind a neighborhood watering hole, Sammy G's is more upscale than the moniker lets on. A sister restaurant to Fratelli's Italian Steakhouse in Winston-Salem, Sammy G's does what others have tried and failed to do: it gets the dressed up pub/casual fine dining concept right. Deceptively spacious, Sammy G's features several dining areas. One includes a bar and a long communal table while another is a more traditional dining set up. My wife and I got to experience the latter and found it comfortable enough. The menu here is well-stocked with American staples: wings, burgers, sandwiches, salads, and steaks. There are, however, enough global touches to keep things interesting. The appetizers include a Thai shrimp, a fried calamari, and an Asian seared tuna, risotto is an available side, chicken teriyaki features among the entrees, and several styles of nachos (including lobster and blistered corn for the truly curious) are accounted for. For our first time out, my wife and I split a green tomato starter and followed up with The Sammy G's (fried flounder, popcorn shrimp, and a crabcake) and the Plum Asian Sirloin, respectively. A fried green tomato has become one of our litmus tests for new places, and by that measure alone, Sammy G's passed. Though the slices were smallish, they were crisp and well-coated, and they paired well with the accompanying dab of pimento. The jalapeno bacon jam that came with it brought a nice bit of heat. Plum sauce on a steak seemed like a gamble - would it be too sweet? - but my faith was rewarded. It enhanced rather than overwhelmed the sirloin, and it called to mind a less salty teriyaki. The side of sautéed broccoli that came with it was perfect (seriously, I was left wondering how broccoli could be this good), and the risotto was satisfying if not spectacular. The steak did come out slightly overcooked (requested medium rare, it arrived medium approaching medium well) but not enough to render it unpalatable, and that was the only hitch in an otherwise very good meal. Said meal was complemented by service that was generally on-point. Wait times for food were minimal, and Brycen, our server, was attentive and polite. Sammy G's seemed both adequately staffed and well-managed, no easy feat given the amount of restaurant industry turnover. At first glance, prices at Sammy G's seem to be in-line with the menu and concept. Entrees start in the mid-teens and run into the twenties for steaks while sandwiches and entrée-sized salads hover in the $10 to $12 range. However, most of the entrees include two sides that can be substituted (including a fries-for-risotto swap) as well as a salad (Caesar or house). Take those perks into consideration, and Sammy G's is a surprisingly good deal for what is offered. Given that my previous experiences dining out in High Point have largely consisted of mediocre Asian, it's safe to say that Sammy G's is a new favorite for the area. Flavorful food and great service make this place ideal for when a nice meal is sought but a white tablecloth establishment is out of reach. read more

If you're looking for a nice place to sit down in a casual/fancy atmosphere then this is the spot. There was plenty of parking and no wait time at all to be seated, especially for a Friday night. Our waitress easily excelled at her job. I want to say her name was McKenzie. She was hilarious and bubbly and knew everything about the different menus. We had a good variety of the martinis on the drink special menu. Each one did not disappoint. They had a lot of local beer options that were tasty as well! The food sort of tasted all the same to me. We each got something different and tried each other's dishes. I'm not sure if the kitchen cleaned out their deep fryers or washed anything out properly because everything had the same flavor, just in different ways of presenting it. Everything was slightly over seasoned. The mashed potatoes by far were not my favorite. I'm not quite sure what went wrong there, but they tasted like a cigarette to me. HOWEVER everything was cooked perfectly. The food was a tad pricey, but they give you good portion sizes! The soup and salad were phenomenal. We all had different kinds of fish, so I'm excited to try their burgers next time! Would we come back here again? Heck yes! It was a great restaurant to go to with the family. The people that work here are so friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. We really liked the atmosphere. It was a great upbeat social environment to have a few drinks at. read more

The immensely popular Sammy G's is at the corner of a local retail strip mall. Parking is adequate, but from the outside, nothing screamed "fine dining." The dining area (two rooms) is cavernous and pleasant, but again, understated. Proof of just how deceiving appearances can be was provided at the first forkfull. Our server, Jensen, was helpful, cordial and professional. He unfailingly guided our group of four through several difficult menu choices. Shared apps of Royal Thai Shrimp and Seared Tuna were very good, although for my tastes, the shrimp could have stood a bit more spice. Served next were included salads (house or Caesar). While the Caesar salad was nicely made, fresh and topped with abundant grated cheese, the dressing's substitution of red wine vineagar for lemon juice was a bit alien-- although tasty. Entrees consisted of Blackened Salmon with Parmasian Creamed Corn, Crab Cake and two orders of Stuffed Flounder with Sauteed Shrimp, Tomato and Spinach in a light but flavorful cream sauce. Curiously, the Flounder stuffing was a single crab cake. Everyone seemed to enjoy their selected entree, including Ms. G. who really enjoys a good crab cake. The Flounder presented two mid-sized fillets served with thin grilled asparagus. Although I enjoy asparagus, their addition was unnecessary plate clutter. Flounder, crab stuffing, chopped tomato, spinach and the cream sauce was sufficient without them. With soft drinks and tip the dinner averaged $32 per diner, making it quite reasonable for such an enjoyable and approachable dinner. read more

Went here with a group of 5 last night. The place looked clean and well staffed and organized. From the drink menu our waitress McKenzie (I think?) recommended the martini menu that was the special that night. We had a variety of martinis, each one of them were delicious. We didn't order any starters here since they had a delicious soup and salad (we had the tomato bisque that was amazing) . Our table had a variety of everything off their menu from the flounder to the steak. The stuffed flounder with crab was delicious. My steak was cooked perfectly. The only reason I am only giving 4 stars and not 5 was the worst mashed potatoes I've ever had in my entire life, we passed them around the table and I'm they smelled like a combination of a cigarette and fish , maybe a pan they reused? That was the only thing I would say to stay away from hands down. Our waitress was extremely helpful and and nice all night, I hope she sees this and gets the necessary praise she deserves. Oh, by the way, the cheesecake we had desert is a must have also. read more

Tried out for first time tonight. Great food, good portion sizes. The chicken breasts might have been a little over cooked, but not enough to lose a star. Jeffrey was our waiter. Very attentive and courteous. Menu was not overwhelming, but a good variety of beef, seafood, pasta, chicken and sandwiches. Anything you might be in the mood read more

My wife and I visited for dinner on a quiet Thursday evening. We loved the mood and the décor of the restaurant. We were greeted very warmly. We began our meal with the Bavarian pretzel on a hook, went to the side salads, and then our entrées. The hot pretzel was humongous. Nicely buttered and plenty of salt. The side salads were very basic. The Greek vinaigrette dressing was very good. My wife ordered the chicken teriyaki which came with rice and veggies and I ordered the Sirloin steak with the rice pilaf. My wife loved her chicken. Very tasty. Nice generous portion that consisted of 2 boneless breasts. My sirloin was cooked to perfection but very small. The rice pilaf also was very small. I would venture to say 1/4 of rice. Luckily, I was able to share some of my wife's meal. My meal originally had the mashed potatoes but they corrected the issue. In addition, the waitress poured tap water into our club sodas. Totally forgot it was club sodas. No room for dessert. Let's remember, there is a pandemic. Our waitress was very friendly, warm and tried hard. She communicated at every chance. The prices were very reasonable. There was plenty of parking in the strip mall parking lot. Help yourself to some cheesecake since there is a place next door. If we lived closer, we would be back. read more

To start off with the good. We started off with the big pretzel. It was SO good. Not to mention, it is HUGE. I highly recommend it for an appetizer. For an entree I got the bourbon filet. It was super tender and tasted really good. I recommend this entree My wife got the elderflower cocktail. It was really good and she enjoyed it. Cons: My wife ordered the NC steak. It was ok- pretty chewy. They cooked it to the correct temperature she wanted though. Not full of flavor, a little bland. The sides it came with were not too bad. It is a little pricey for being a little disappointing. There is little selection of food. If you are a picky eater, probably not the best place for you. It also is a little pricey. There is a small drink selection too. All in all I would visit this place again. I think I would order some appetizers and drinks and maybe stay clear of the more expensive (unless it's the bourbon filet) read more

Finally made it to Sammy G's for lunch after having it on my list of places to check out for quite some time. So glad I did! I had the fried flounder sandwich with an excellent homemade tartar sauce and melty gruyere on a soft toasted bun. I love a good fish sandwich and this one was definitely in the top 5 I've ever had. The rolls they serve are to die for. Crunchy on the outside, soft in the center, with a yummy herb butter. My daughter had a fried chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries and loved it. Our server was attentive and friendly and everyone thanked us for coming in on our way out. We will be returning soon as I saw the tuna app coming out of the kitchen and it looked so so good. A new favorite for sure! read more

Our pre selected options included choice of two salads and five entrees. First part of the meal were the beverages, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic versions. Staff was very efficient in getting the drink orders and refills. Serving time between drinks and dining was timed to allow for leisurely socializing. My entree was the blackened chicken and pasta.

Food is amazing been plenty of times...but for your service and who ever answered the phone your restaurant should get less than a star. If someone calls and you LITERALLY tell them a time when y'all are closing. And we get there 35 mins before y'all close and then y'all lock the doors and go uhhhhhh yeah we decided to close early when we call. When y'all have so many cars still in the parking lot. We drove over 33 mins to get to your establishment. ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE SERVICE... Had to sit in your parking lot for 30 mins calling places on who was open. Thank you for ruining our day. read more
