I absolutely loved the pit beans, mac and cheese, smoked chicken, pulled pork and the Cuban sandwich. The red beans and rice as well as the brisket were also good. My family loved the hushpuppies.

The prices are fair and the portions are generous, order the gumbo if you don't believe me !! My only complaint is the television blaring.

Today 5/29 was my second visit to Sami's. I ordered a #31 with hush puppies, two side of red beans…read moreand rice, & 2 oysters. When I paid Riya asked if it would be card or cash and I proceeded to swipe. After the transaction was complete I noticed that on the wall to the left of the register there was a sign about a " 3.99% Customer Service" for all store transactions. However on the same notice there's a 3.99% discount on cash purchases, I'm sorry what?! Since I had already paid for my order I simply just asked for the manager to ask about the fee. I spoke with a the chubby guy with the low cut. I mentioned how it was actually illegal to charge a fee to process a card payment. He got extremely defensive and loud. I calmly left and advised that I would be reporting him to Visa, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, The Federal Trade Commission and lastly The Better Business Bureau which I have successfully completed. As for my order it's supposed to be two catfish fillets, what I got was one fillets that they split in half, the hush puppies were over fried and hard, the chicken tenders and shrimp were just ok nothing to write home about. The red beans and rice lacked flavor I actually just gave them to my dog and mixed it in with his soft food since that's what it resembled. Lastly the coating on the oysters was over cooked while the inside was complete mush, these were $5.98 by themselves for JUST TWO. Bottom line there are better places that provide better service, quality, and quantity for you money than this establishment. Sami' never has to worry about me spending another dime with them!

Friday night is date night, so I took my wife out for some New Orleans-style food. We decided on…read moreGulf Shores Restaurant & Grill. We were greeted and seated right away, which was a nice start to the evening. This was our first visit to this particular location, although we've dined a few times over the years at their Creve Coeur restaurant. Our server was also tending bar that evening. He was polite and attentive, although a bit soft-spoken, which made him a little difficult to hear at times in the busy restaurant. We started with drinks--my wife ordered her usual glass of Chardonnay, and I went with a Corona. For dinner, my wife chose the blackened red snapper tacos with green beans and beans and rice, while I ordered the seaside combo with cod and shrimp, served with green beans and potato wedges. Our food arrived in about 25 minutes, and everything tasted very good. My wife especially kept talking about how flavorful the red snapper tacos were. The seafood tasted fresh, and the sides complemented the meals nicely. Overall, both the service and food made for a very enjoyable evening. The only downside was the price, as the dishes are definitely on the higher side. Still, with seafood being shipped in from the coast/gulf, that's somewhat understandable. All in all, it was a good dining experience, and we'd consider coming back again for another date night.

I'm extremely disappointed with my experience. I received the incorrect order, and when I brought…read moreit to the owner's attention, they refused to correct the mistake or make it right. I followed up with the owner only after I never received the resolution that was agreed-upon in the restaurant. I was initially told a refund would be issued, and I waited a full billing cycle as advised by my bank to allow time for it to process. The refund never came. When I followed up, the owner refused to honor what was previously agreed upon. I even asked them to review their surveillance footage to verify that an error was made, but they declined to do so. Instead of taking accountability and resolving the issue professionally, they chose not to correct it. Mistakes happen I understand that. What matters is how a business handles them. Unfortunately, this was handled poorly, and I cannot recommend a business that refuses to stand behind its own errors. When the owner refused to correctthe issue and blamed me instead for not following up sooner, I told the owner that I would be pursuing the matter further than the owner said they were not going to do anything if I did so. In hindsight trying to blackmail me so that I would receive a partial refund and not warn others.

She left before I could remind her that I didn't want and lemon. I took her a while to come back to the table to take our orders. After placing my order I asked for water with no lemon. She brought me another glass with no lemon. Although her service did not meet my expectations, I didn't let it affect my dining here today. I also had barbecue wings for an appetizer. Those were good. They were crispy. But I like the Cajun honey hot wings much better.

The French onion soup was amazing! As close as I recall the original Famous Barr restaurant soup was years ago. The salad was ok. Don't know why they chose to purée the butternut squash after roasting it, but that I think would've been better having the roasted bite with the beats. But the southern fried chicken sandwich was delicious. Highly recommend. And the Service was great.

Burger was good, just a bit thick for my preference. The toppings were fresh. The fries were crispy and delish. Pasta had good reviews. The servings seemed a bit small.

My daughter and I both had the catfish nugget dinner. Our side were yams, greens and macaroni and cheese. Everything was delicious. For most of our visit, real nice jazz was playing in the background until a patron complained (really?!) and so the music got flipped to RAP. We did not appreciate that. For dessert we split the red velvet cake (our second choice because they were out of banana pudding). The cake was dry - perhaps it sat out in the open uncovered. The icing was great tho. All that being said, I will go back to try some of the more traditional creole dishes on the menu. And hopefully they'll have banana pudding.

I started eating in the car because I wanted to taste it while it was fresh. The yams were well seasoned and sweet. My baked chicken was juicy and falling off the bone. It was so savory that I almost did not have any left by the time I got to work. I also enjoyed the green beans and I like that they had potatoes; this adds to the heartiness of the meal. While the macaroni looked wonderful and I could see the seasoning, I was hoping to taste more herbs. I still ate them all, but they were bland. I only did not add my own seasoning because the rest of the meal was seasoned well enough that I did not want to overdo it.
