Broccoli (side order)
Greg B.

First time here, seems like an old school locals place. Loved it! Food was excellent. We had the chicken parm, broccoli, and Ceasar salad. Highly recommend Sam's if you want a very good meal at non-Hamptons pricing! Staff and service both very good as well.

chicken pasta in a white wine sauce
Jamie N.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]this place is very homey and comforting - it has a very old style to it but was very fitting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] we got their small veggie pie and while it kind of looks like a frozen pizza, i really enjoyed it! i also was really craving something similar to a chicken franchise, which is not in their menu, and the waitress was able to switch out some shrimp for chicken in a similar dish and it was delish! it was more of a white wine sauce and i expected it to be a little different, however, it was something different than i usually get and i liked it! my mom got their eggplant parm and thought it had a nice amount of cheese, sauce, and had tons of flavor. my boyfriend got their amatricana pasta and this dish was a highlight for him! the staff is very lovely here too, check this place out!

Menu

What a disappointment! We arrived at 7:45pm and seated without a long wait on Thursday before Memorial weekend. We thought we were very lucky. Then everything went south. We waited 15 min. No one came to our table. We asked the hostess and were told a waitress should be here soon. Waited another 10 min. We almost left but we were too hungry and too tired at that point, so decided to stay. Finally a waitress came and told us NO ONE TOLD HER WE WERE THERE. This is not the smallest restaurant but not a big restaurant. She knows her section and could easily glance over. We kind of knew what we want to order by then but asked a few questions about Angel Hair Pasta. She said that's the most popular dish that evening & everyone liked it. I also asked about the mussels and she said it's good and also good portion. Since we weren't in a mood for pizza that day, we opted for capri salad, baby spinach salad, mussels and angel hair pasta. The both salads were ok. Spinach salad dressing tasted worse than I tasted at the airport lounge. But we had no idea the worst was yet to come... again we waited long for the dish when finally arrived mussels were so salty I couldn't eat. I had to return which I hardly ever do. The pasta had no tastes at all and extremely dry. The grilled chicken inside not just dry but tasted like rubber. We were too hungry at that point, so we ate pasta without chicken. But it was sooooooooo bad. Left over food without heating would taste better at home. When we asked the check I gave her feedback about the pasta being tasteless and the chicken wasn't edible. Guess what? We waited again, then the waitress basically throw the check on the table. This is the established restaurant since 1947 and I expected to be better. Much better... well, we won't be back!

Cheese Pie
Randy B.

One word, AWFUL. When I went in to pick up my cheese pie I was met with two of the rudest waitresses I've ever met. I had waited for them to finish what they were doing before I spoke up and finally said "excuse me" multiple times. After trying repeatedly to get their attention, one of them turned to me, rolled their eyes and just stared at me until I asked for my order. Unacceptable. The food review, worse than the service. As soon as I left the building I peeked into the box hoping the pizza would be worth the horrible service. I couldn't have been more disappointed. Not only did the crust consist of what seemed to be cardboard, it tasted like it was a FROZEN pizza. The cheese was completely congealed, and slid off the entire slice when I picked it up. I'm not claiming to be a pizza critic, but this was THAT bad...

The food was amazing. We shared the Tomahawk steak, which was gargantuan and delicious. The manager…read moremade wonderful recommendations for accompanying beverages. We sat outside under the stars and had a lovely night.

I had dinner with two friends on a summer Tuesday night. The restaurant is large and sprawling…read morewith a modern vibe and, was full with large parties with families and children running all around. Good for them - not what I am looking for!!! We asked to change our table as we were given a tight corner table not comfortable for three men. They graciously accommodated us but, the transition was not smooth. At the second location, in a front room, a lady came and we started to order - appetizers and entrees. She said she was actually the manager and was jumping in as a waiter because they were short staffed. She took our order and asked if we would like every thing to come out at once - we said no - appetizers first then entrees. What an odd question. Do they usually serve everything at once? I am not looking for a strict conventional order of serving but, something is off here. We never saw her again and, never really knew who our waiter was. We were served by a variety of bus people, runners and finally the General Manager. We did not complain. One of the gentlemen is our party is a professional chef. He ordered a coke at one point from the GM which didn't come for 15 minutes - so, we sent it back. The food was just OK - pizza nothing special - service disorganized and, for those reasons we will not be back. To his credit, noticing that we were not happy - he took our drinks off the check. Generally speaking, this restaurant suffers from mediocre food at EH prices, and the staff doesn't seem to work together is a smooth way. Respectfully submitted feedback - with hopes for improvement
