I stopped in to grab an Alfredo pasta with chicken. The restaurant was not crowded but appeared cluttered with different items. One of the tables appeared like it was not cleared from the previous guests. The pasta dish looked better than it tasted. It was salty and overly cheesy. Having said this, I have had good food in the past at this restaurant, so give them a chance. By the way, I believe that there is no liquor served in the restaurant. read more

I ordered the house sampler and the mozzarella sticks and wings did NOT disappoint absolutely loved it, service was excellent and store was cozy read more

Waited so long in an empty space. The "chef" came out and took care of a other tables. There was only 2 tables 1 of 1 person and the other a family of 5 that had their food already and ignored us. It was not busy at all, pretty much empty. No service no water, left. No stars read more

Sam's Steak & Grill is a Zabihah Halal Steakhouse. Their food is delicious and very flavorful, never disappoints! Their menu includes burgers, nachos, wings and so much more. The restaurant has a nice comfy atmosphere with relatively quick service. But if you're wondering the price of this steak ... brace yourself because it cost $130! You need to call beforehand to order it as it's isn't readily available and is a custom order meal. Follow our insta: @nyc.halal for more halal food reviews!! read more

Sam's Steakhouse was great and I'm really glad that I got to take my parents out here for their anniversary. They strictly eat halal and Sam's looked like the right place for a nice lunch. We got a couple of mocktails, onion rings, poutine, the lamb chops, and steak. Yes- it was more than enough food for 3 people :). Albeit the service was a little slow, the server was very friendly and great which negated that. Everything was tasty and the only reason I gave 4 stars was because the bread on my burger was super stale. Rather than that, no complaints just stick to the steak here! read more

If u eat at restaurant its amazing experience but if u take home its a mess very less food & totally cold. Lots of disappointment

I said I would be back, but it wasn't as good as the first time and they still don't serve alcohol. Lol. This time I ordered filet mignon and lamp chops. read more

Steak was so thin all fat and like rubber. Absolutely no taste and filled with grizzle. Mashed potatoes were uneatable due to the disgusting gravy that taste like dirty sneakers. read more

It was a great experience. delicious food and reasonable prices. We will definitely go back again

I dine at high-end steakhouses such as Peter Luger and Mastro's Steakhouse, and I was surprised by the excellent preparation of the porterhouse steak. The sole reason I visited this place was because of my wife. One thing they should add to the menu is sautéed mushrooms. read more

Friendly service, clean atmosphere. Came here for the halal steaks, but sorry to say it was disappointing. I got the 16oz tBone and it seemed very dry and no taste. The meat didn't seem juicy enough. The other dishes, appetizer-siracha shrimp were good, nice heavily sauced. The chicken pasta was also good. Everything is a huge portion, so that's a plus! The virgin mojito drink was also delicious. read more

I yelped a local spot for lunch and drove here in the rain. I checked out their Instagram first and it looked like they had high quality steaks and that was what I was in the mood for so here goes. The service is sub par. They do not serve alcohol so I wonder if you can bring your own BYOB- I failed to ask. I'm not sure why the servers seemed intimidated by myself of my sister but it was apparent that this was a local spot that maybe religious people would go to. My sister did not like the mashed potatoes from the box but they weren't bad. The steak was the best part. I mean it was great. Maybe don't go here if you are in a rush or if you need wine with your steak. I would be willing to try it again if ever in that area it was a perfect little Sunday spot for lunch read more

Went here a few days ago with some friends. Got the BBQ wings as appetizer which was good. I ordered the 10oz Ribeye which came with side salad and steak fries (you have a choice of fries, mashed potatoes, vegetables). The side salad wasn't great as some of the greens were wilted. The steak was cooked to perfection and the fries were delicious. Overall I would go back again. they have vegetarian options and the entire menu is halal. read more

Decided to give it a shot as I was in the neighborhood . We got there for lunch and were seated right away . It was just us and another table in the restaurant, not busy at all . I was actually pretty hungry and already had decided what I wanted . We sat there literally 10 minutes, without someone coming to take our order . Order was finally taken by an elderly man , who was actually super nice . We told him please try to have it out ASAP. Our appetizer order was taken wrong so he actually brought out extra food, never a bad thing . Me and friend of mine both ordered the same Volcano Burgers cooked medium rare . Came out a bit well done , I didn't mind I was so hungry. Overall the restaurant it self seems a bit pricey . For lunch our bill was over 50$ . Ambiance - 7/10 Service - 5/10 (Need more workers) Parking- Street WiFi- Yes *There VIRGIN MANGO MOJITO was the best* read more

Would definitely come again to this halal steakhouse. Very nice ambiance and decor. Service was really good, but we did come at a not busy time. They brought out the dessert with a candle for the birthday honoree (by request). The steaks were delicious and cooked perfectly to each of our temperature requests. Would not recommend the poutine. Bar is all non alcoholic. read more

Was out in Long Island showing some homes and putting in offers. The buyers picked this place! It was a former steak house/bar that went out of business and now is another halal-based steak house (minus the bar) the prices and dishes attracted us from a distance based on their online advertising. However when you come in, the prices as dishes are different, we questioned it and the staff said the don't have access to their online log-in issues. The place had fair vibes however reminds you of the former business. Not much was renovated to make the new business feel more at home! Their disses are what appears to look common as it was at every other location. Surprisingly we all ordered burgers over anything else. Cooked to our preferences and came out as expected the burgers were all a bit different but all worthy of it'd own name & special taste that made it, it's own! The service the staff had provided was fair. It couldn't have improved a bit more but nothing unworthy to recall. read more

This is what they call a PattyMelt. Every place I've ever been, it's burger made like a grilled cheese on rye with sautéed onions. Apparently this is how they do it. Tried the onion rings which were soggy and greasy. The steak fries were underdone. Just a horrible food experience. I won't be back. The best thing about this meal was the glass of water with lemon and my server was polite about it. Thanks. read more

I walked into Istanbul. It's almost the same set up as its predecessor Harper's except for a few odds and ends thrown around. Staff was pleasant and accommodating. Dinning here seems like I'm at Church and on a lunch break. It's quiet and feels very peaceful and the many families and babies around lend to this air. Many of the patrons looked middle east-ish, TO ME. Many scarves, turbans, Hijabs and Kufis and I felt a quite under-dressed and a wee bit exposed in my ripped, fitted jeans and my tank. (I assumed it was) a bachelor party who came in after I did and man I hope those dudes got at least a little bit rowdy after leaving Sam's because maaaaan, they were so laid back, so chill. Brahs, all this talk of your Snapchat and IG accounts does not a great bachelor party make. Haven't you seen Hangover! My apologies, I digressed with my evesdropping and thing. My burger was fine in all it's crumbling glory. My fries were good, my virgin (it's a halal establishment) colada was just what the doctor ordered after plantation toiling. Story about the waitress, the menu and I: When I told the waitress I didn't want any onions in my American burger she replied "that's okay because we don't put it" when she saw my baffled look she "explained" "it's on the menu but we don't put it". Okay. Strange. She listed some items that were available but not listed in the menu (confusing, you include what you don't have and exclude what you do?) So, although these aren't in the menu there's lamp chops, spicy burger, fillet ribs bbq sandwich......she said some more items but she was quick and...arrrmm never mind. Nice, different vibe but appreciliked. The End. read more

Amazing steaks and burgers. Possibly the best steak joint in NY NJ area. We ordered few burgers, steaks and ribs. Thy were all delicious and cooked exactly how we asked them to.

Always have a great experience here. Their steaks are cooked the way you want, staff is friendly.

Skip it. Trust me, you aren't missing anything here. Decor and ambience - 0/10. Definitely not a date night location unless you are interested in watching news and listen to the kitchen staff carry on like they are at the race track! Service - 2/10. Waiters are young and don't seem bothered or very knowledgeable about the menu. Food - 4/10. Chicken tenders tasted spoilt to me but my husband didn't mind it. We got the porterhouse to share and we both agreed it was one of the worst steaks we ever had. Another couple sent their steak back so maybe we had a bad chef. They have a credit card fee worked into the price or you can get another if paying cash and save abit. Another couple seemed very angry about this and said they wouldn't return. Overall very disappointing experience and we definitely wouldn't go back. read more

Can be better. Sam's Steak & Grill left me feeling indifferent about the place. Not sure if I would return unless if it were for a burger. Let's start with the worst aspect, the service. I don't understand how there is one woman serving the entire restaurant. I've seen this in other reviews but was unfortunately able to experience it last night. How can you expect one person to wait the entire dining room, run dishes out from the kitchen, AND make drinks? Definitely need at least 2 servers. It took us 15 minutes to get water or any attention from the staff. As for placing orders, another wait time of 20 minutes. The food came out at a decent time. However, to pay the bill, get more water, return the bill, we had to get up and go to the server. So what am I tipping you for? Moving on to the food, for appetizers nachos and wings were tasty. The wings were really tiny but they were at least packed with flavor. The New York Strip 14 oz. steak tasted good with a side of rice included. With salt and pepper on top, it was a good steak. The rib eye was quite thin but still had flavor, and not too much fat. The mashed potatoes were fluffy and yummy. The filet mignon, however, was the biggest disappointment. It had barely any flavor and had a boring sauce on top. We had to take it home, because we didn't want to waste it. The surf n turf is a good deal that has a nice twist of variety. The burgers were really good! We had the volcano burger and shroom burger. But the top bun was kinda cold and stale. It wasn't feeling warm and fresh. The mango mojitos tasted like syrup and I would definitely recommend watering them down. Overall, I may come back for some burgers but this one time was enough for steak. This place has a lot of room for potential! If there are minor adjustments made, it will surely excel. read more

This is a great last min find. I took my dad here for a belated fathers Day dinner. They don't serve alcohol which is perfectly fine. They have mock tails and soft drinks. We started with the siracha ships which was delicious. Then we both got the NY strip which was cooked to perfection. I got mine with mashed potato and gravy and he got his with a side salad. I would definitely recommend. read more

I tried the 10 oz New York Strip steak with mashed potatoes. The initial few bites were a bit dry and then the steak got juicier towards the middle. Although flavorful, I felt like the steak was not cooked evenly. Also some sort of sauce on top would be a plus... perhaps something like a Cajun/lemon butter. Overall pretty decent meal and attentive service. read more

I have been going to this spot at least once a month (before 2020) for years. Their halal nachos are so worth the 2-hour drive! The crispy chicken sandwich and garlic parmesan wings are my favorite, after the nachos. I prefer chicken, but have had their juicy lucy and shroom burger and those are worth trying too. The mint mojito is addicting and it takes a lot of self-control not to order more than one. It's one of those places I always take my siblings and recommend to others when they visit. read more

Don't call it a steakhouse if you serve low graded meat. It's like cheating with customer. Just because you are serving halal doesn't mean that you don't have to serve quality meat. My rib eye was rubbery and mashed potato was lumpy. Service was really disappointing. We were missing our salad but our server was just sitting by the bar, didn't even bother to check if needed anything after dropping the food. read more

Sheesh, where do I begin? Maybe by describing the excitement I feel whenever "Sams" is mentioned to me. Everything about this place is just absolutely amazing. Their burgers, their drinks, their steaks (duh!), their pastas, their sides, their location! I've been blessed with this location just about 10 minutes from my home. My favorite drink is definitely the mango mojito without fail. Its something I order to accompany any entree I get. Best of all, the hospitality I always feel when I visit Sams is unbeatable. The employees often walk around to ensure everything is okay. I will always recommend Sams to individuals, couples, and families because theres always something for everyone.

So lets discuss the "steaks"... sure most steaks should have enough fat on it but at Sam's its nothing but fat. I dont think they have a legit butcher and the cuts come out horrible. I asked for a 'shroom burger' no onions. As i am watching the waiter write this down on his notepad, i am thinking to myself, watch them bring it back with onions... so im sure you guys guessed... ONIONS for sure!! Over priced and flavorless. I can certainly make steaks and burgers better than the "chef" in the back... but ok! read more

This is my first time here, especially coming from a far distance I expected it to be everything. ( SERVICE DETAILS ) service was decent but could do better. The server was an older women maybe the owner or manager but she should put more energy and a smile when dealing with a customer. (Thursday 5:00pm) expected it to be full but their was a family of 3 besides us. Totally Empty! NO RESERVATION was needed when I called. House warming location- family friendly. No parking lot, park on the streets. _______________ _______________ _______________ -Okay let's get to the main point right lol! - (2 people) NY STRIP STAKE =$30.00 Cooked median rare. Side order of : Mashed potato w. mushroom gravy. Extra side order : Waffles fries Drinks: Pashion fruit Mojito =$4 : Pina Colada _______________ _______________ _______________ ( F O O D - DETAILS: ) WOAH THE STAKE WAS delishhh!! Let me tell you how TENDER and JUICY it was! Every BITE of that stake was just so yummy! Dipping my piece of stake into the mash potatoes gave it a delicious taste. Mash potatoes Emmm YUM YUM! It was very very SOFT AND CREAMY!!!!! everything you can ASK FOR in mash Potatoes it's there ! MUST ORDER. ( DRINKS details) OKAY NOW The passion fruit mojito They do not add much flavor or fruits to this drink. Very minty and lightly watery if you know what I mean. As if I was drinking a detox water with mint and lemon. Love the fact that it's HALAL & Virgin Drinks is amazing but PRICY for the stakes! they need to give a larger portion of stake. read more

Took my parents out here. There was outside and indoor seating. The food really does look amazing. But it wasn't as good as it looks lol. Overpriced steak and lamb chops that really don't taste that great. I gave this place a extra star for being halal but I would recommend going to Mirch for a better halal steak and service. We got mango mojitos which were really good. I don't think I'll be coming back here.... read more

Came here for my cousin's birthday lunch around 2pm on a Sunday. There wasn't any wait time and we didn't have prior reservation. The manager walked up to us and took us to the table and got us seated right away. Started out with a mango mojito which was delicious, definitely recommend. For appetizers we got garlic Parmesan and bbq wings. Both were really good. For entree I got the 14 oz ribeye steak with waffle fries. I prefer my steak cooked medium rare. Everything was good as expected. Will def come back again. read more

Service: -5 Stars -Excellent, our waiter was pleasant and attentive. Ambience, quite, relaxing, decorative inside. Our Order & First Time Experience. Buffalo Wings -4 Stars -Crispy & Juicy with a perfect amount of sauce. Small in size, perfect portion for an appetizer for two. New York Strip Steak - 2 Stars -Steak was a little tough and slightly burnt and hard around the edges. Asked for a well done steak, but steak came out medium well. It was also chewy with a little fat skin left over on the sides. Portion size is good as an entree for one person. Crispy Chicken Sandwich with Fries & Coleslaw -3.5 Stars -Serving size of sandwich was huge. Chicken was nicely breaded and well done. It could've used a little more seasoning. Fries were well done and delicious. Coleslaw had a sweet tinge to it, it was also delicious. Side Salad -3 Stars -Spinach greens tasted old but the rest of the Salad was fresh. Mashed Potatoes -1 Star Server had to reheat mashed potatoes because the inside was cold and gravy was also cold. Could've used more salt. Grilled Vegetables. -3 Stars -They were good but I don't think they were grilled, maybe sautéed in some oil and salt but definitely not grilled. read more
