Two stars only because the Tuesday Wednesday special is great. But seriously try your crawfish before serving it. Worst crawfish I have had all year. Horrifically, overcooked. Good flavor but so overcooked the crawfish just came apart . read more

The staff was nice and food was very flavorful. I had the gulf fried shrimp with cane sugar glaze and white chocolate bread pudding. They have a happy hour which is always appreciated when traveling. read more

Went there last night with my friend and we got there late, however, we were able to get a table and great service. We both ordered crawfish and it was very good if a bit spicy. Our waitress checked on us often as well as other staff members and they were all very hospitable. It was not that busy but it was a Tuesday evening. I would go back and plan to. read more

Sammys Grill - Crawfish - Seafood Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Y'all put some addictive substances in your crawfish boil. I literally could not stop eating all four pounds of these lil critters. Super well-seasoned, not too salty. I also had a bite of my brother's catfish étouffée and it way tasted better than Parrain's. Came here on Mother's Day and around church hours. Bring an apron, cuz that crawfish juice might stain your Sunday dress. Chill atmosphere. Restaurant was kind of musky smelling with the humidity and seafood. Nothing fancy. read more

Solid spot. Got some crawfish and shrimp, can't complain. The shrimp were really good and I was happy with the crawfish. If you're not from the Acadiana area then you probably would think these are top tier crawfish. Service was great and I would definitely come back! read more

We stopped in on a cross country roadtrip and had the shrimp boil because we were too earlier for crawfish. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be back! Check out the video of that trip (and our time in Sammys) here: https://youtu.be/Te0RXsPrYms read more

Ordered 6 lbs of crawfish on a relatively calm Thursday night and received barely 5 lbs. Found out that they do not offer corn and potato's with their crawfish when through takeout (do for dining in) which seems somewhat greedy. Taste wise- pretty solid, definitely on the spicier side if you enjoy that. read more

Food, service and ambiance were all great!! Would definitely go there again!! Has. "Cheers!" Vibe!!

Our server was very attentive and made us feel like family. His recommendations were spot on and had us comfortable with our first experience of having crayfish. Enjoyed the Cajun bloody mary to follow up. read more

We were just driving through Baton Rouge and decided to stop and eat dinner here. The entrance is a little confusing. We entered using the bar entrance and not the main dining room area. But a waitress helped us figure it out and we ordered. I ordered the Cajun burger and my mom ordered the blacked catfish. Both were very good and my burger was cooked very well. Our waiter was very good and checked in multiple times to make sure we were doing ok. I would come back again. read more

My Husband places and online order and everything was ready to go when we got there. He was greeted upon entering. He said the ladies at the front was vet polite and courteous. He said they were getting ready to close but it smelled so good I there. The food last night was off the chain. I was really impressed this time the fish was hot crispy and very flavorful. I really enjoyed the tarter sauce that came with it too. The shrimp were told brown dried just right and seasoned well. My husband loves the crawfish ettoufee. He said it was amazingly good. The fries were fried a lil hard but over all we were satisfied with our dinner. Wait a minute I can not forget about the freshly brewed sweet tea!!!!i don't know why I set myself up. It was on point so I said Chelle you just gonna take a sip before you make it home... Now y'all know before I could even get out the parking lot good; I had darn near drank it all!!! Next time I'll get 2. I do recommend them to family and friends and we will be back. read more

The service was great. We came in yesterday for Mother's Day. We had a semi large party and it didn't take long for us to be seated. The waitress was great. I didn't know that cracklings came on the salad that was different. I don't it I just gave it my auntie and cousin. The pepper jelly vinaigrette was amazing I need an entire bottle of it. My catfish was really good my crawfish étouffée was bland but overall it was good. read more

Came to participate in Restaurant Week and we were truly disappointed. To start, came in as a party of 4, 2 ordered from the restaurant week menu.. We received our two main entrees before the appetizers, then once we received the appetizers, the Pepperjack boudin eggrolls (plural on the menu) came with ONE egg roll.. the Sugar cane shrimp came with TWO shrimp.. Our two main entrees came out cold, overcooked and were finished before the restaurant week entrees were put on the table. Our server blamed the kitchen but once speaking with the manager we were told that the server forgot to ring in half of the order.. Poboy bread was so smushed and soggy it was inedible. The restaurant wasn't even at full capacity, so this was just a very unenjoyable experience for us. read more

Came here to dine since we haven't been in a while since closing and reopening under new management. We order appetizers which was good. My daughter enjoyed her chicken club sandwich. I ordered the crawfish they were a nice size but way to spicy and salty for my liking. They overdid it with the seasoning. Hope they cut back on the salt next time. I will visit again. read more

We pulled up and the building is, well, dingy. Walked in and it smells like crawfish and a dead cat. The floors are cement and will never come clean, the kinds of place that would have had sawdust on the floors way back when. Service is great! Kids are bustling about having fun. Julie had the pepper Jack chicken and I had the Cajun burger. Mine left a lot to be desired the grilled onions would have been better if they were pealed. Portion sizes are big. A bunch of fries. They brought mine on a cookie sheet and I hate that. I used the rest room and it was disgusting! Filthy it looks like it hasn't been cleaned in years, like a gas station. I looked around the rest of the place and there's that greasy dust on everything on the walls. I'm not, repeat, not coming back. read more

I came on a Saturday night excited to try Sammy's crawfish. Unfortunately I came too late because they didn't have any available at 9 PM (they close at 11). I decided to try the dozen garlic oysters for $20 instead. The oysters were smaller than other places I've tried, but I was still pretty pleased with my meal! The toast pairs perfectly with the oysters and they do not skimp out on the garlic butter!!! I haven't seen oysters given without the shell at a restaurant before, so that was pretty interesting. I want to come back to try their crawfish and other deals!! read more

Good food and service. It's hard to believe that they don't seem to be as busy as they were under previous owners since food and service are great read more

It's been a while since I've been to Sammy's, and I'm disappointed that they close their Prairieville location which is closer to where I live now in Gonzales. The last time I was there, it was during crawfish season, and I would give him five stars but we had to wait for quite a while for a table. The layout is also very odd, since you go through the bar to get to the dining area. read more

Food was good but lunch is only open in the bar and the waitress didn't explain the daily special which is just what we went there for after viewing the pictures. After eating, as we were leaving, i saw someone had exactly what we ordered. Disappointed read more

Sammy's is usually one of my stand by places for lunch, but went earlier this week. pretty disappointed. We ordered an app. of onion rings, they were flavorless. I ordered thin cut a small thin cut catfish platter, this catfish was so thin it was like eating a fish cracker, you could barely even see any fish meat and the fries were mushy. Then when I received my check I realized they are charging $3.75 for a glass of tea, highway robbery. Tea costs pennies to make, even charging that for a coke is ridiculous. Do better!! I gave 2 stars because our waiter was super nice ortherwise it would have been a 1. read more

We actually stopped by for some crawfish but they didn't start selling crawfish until later in the day. The only thing I can review this place on is the Cajun egg rolls and the shrimp appetizers. Both were pretty decent. Employees were very friendly. I'd recommend giving it a try. If I'm in the area again, I'd definitely give it another shot. read more

We always go to the same handful of places when in Baton Rouge. We something different and it was a hit. The etoufee was excellent. It's definitely worth going. read more

This place is a must try while you visit Baton Rouge. Although I have yet to try other Cajun/crawfish restaurants while I was visiting Baton Rouge, but I have had a fair share of crawfish prior. The flavors are very good, and it was very fresh. Although I wish there's some additional cleaning of the crawfish before they start to cook these, but overall, the flavor is there. The gator bites we ordered were one of the best gator bites we ever had. Really wish these portions are bigger, but nevertheless, it doesn't affect the rating at all. As for the po-boy, I would skip. You can probably find better Po-Boy elsewhere. The service was relatively lacking. Please be aware that one side of the restaurant will need to be seated, and other side of the restaurant does not preclude to that. So make sure you know which side is which. It wasn't made clearly for us. read more

The food is good, fried shrimp and grilled shrimp they have fish and oysters. My fav is the bayou shrimp pasta it comes over linguine but I always get it on the penne. Hamburgers are also good. They have luncheon specials Monday through Friday. They have two a day to choose from and they aren't on the regular menu. read more

Visited last month while on a roadtrip. We sat in the bar area because it was a bit later and we were able to sit right away. Service was great. Food was amazing. Alligator bites and catfish were amazing. First time trying both and I was impressed. read more

I went to Sammy's to try their lent menu Crawfish Boudin Egg-rolls and the boiled crawfish. I went on a Saturday around 5pm. I checked in and was told the wait would be 35-40 minutes, however it was more like 20 minutes. The checkin area is small and was crowded. Our server was a friendly young lady. My husband asked if he could get a sample shot of a drink he wanted but unfortunately she said they were not allowed to do samples, he was a little bummed about this bc most restaurants do it. He went ahead and ordered the Spicy Rum Punch which fortunately turned out to be pretty good. We decided to get the Crawfish Boudin Rolls and Fried alligator to start. The Crawfish rolls were just ok. Nothing I would reorder. The stuffing was a little to loose to me. The fried alligator bites were small but they were good. My daughter had the Fried Dijon chicken sandwich. She enjoyed it. I would definitely order it. Now for the big let down..... the boiled crawfish were salty! We had a total of 9 pounds and we just didn't enjoy the salty flavor. The size was nice and they had a nice spicy kick but the salt overpowered everything. Nice restaurant but skip the crawfish. read more

Fantastic food, charming cottage ambiance .. I wrote a lengthy glowing review so what happened to it? I love this place! Great new location. Will add that I think they need to buy the old pizza building next door as Sammy's needs the extra parking! read more

The family likes it, but I'm not a big fan. All the food is above average but nothing that I've found on the menu is a great balance of taste, price, and amount of food. read more

Great food, great bartenders, clean and comfortable in a great part of town. I had dinner there on a few evenings during my traveling to Baton Rouge. This is definitely one of my favorite spots now! read more

The food was amazing. The shrimp poboy has a nice buttery savory flavor with sauce that goes well with it. The lettuce and mushrooms makes it risqué. It's nice if you don't want to eat anything heavy. I'd eat this for lunch time. The baked potato pairs well with the whipped butter and Tony's. The vibe in this restaurant is very chill and laidback. It's a nice place to eat if you wanna talk or feel at home. The servers are also very helpful and sweet. We had a little spill and all of them came to help pick up the mess. They were also very sweet and accommodating by giving us another place to sit immediately. Whenever it gets busy, they prioritize their tables and try to get everything out as fast as possible. 10/10 definitely recommend this place. read more

We have eaten at Sammy's for years most always ordering a slimmer meal of chicken breasts salad and we would request from the mixed vegetables to receive only the yellow summer squash Never any issues. We went after new entered back up hoping it would be the same and so of us could go there most every week to eat I was totally wrong When we went in and placed our order, excited to be back at Sammy's and the great food we were told we could not single out if the mixed vegetables only the yellow squash. We've always had that meal I asked why can you ask someone ? She told me because we are here to make money $$ we need to make money $$ you can't request anything different We got our meal unhappy and none of us have ever returned nor will we ever return again It was a great place we went often because they were open 365 days a year and we live just down the street. Sad that this had to be the way it is. read more

Lawd, I wish I had photos! One of my favorite spots in town. While I haven't had any of their drinks, the food is absolutely amazing. If I want a good poboy on New Orleans style French bread, this is where I go. Forget mozzarella sticks. They have hand breaded halloumi cheese that is unbeatable. I've never tasted anything they've made that wasn't delicious. read more

Peel and eat shrimp were good. Didn't expect them to be spicy like crawfish but good overall. Some were a bit tough to peel but they were HUGE! Definitely got my shrimp fix from Sammy's and did pickup - highly recommended. read more
