Took my kids and mom to Sam Bs for lunch on Sunday. We had the sweetest waiter and the meal was delicious. We all ordered something different (a Reuben, chicken Alfredo, short rib, and two salads) and everyone loved their meal. We will definitely be back! A great experience and a lovely meal.

Our server, Felize was amazing and very attentive to our needs. One of the best I've had in a long time. It was our 36th Wedding Anniversary and they made it special for us. Food was excellent, drinks were excellent and the caramel creme brulee was memorable. We even had a serenade when it was delivered.

We're from out of town and met here for dinner since it's in the middle of where we all live. This was our first time at this restaurant and it was wonderful, from the salad bar to the drinks to dinner. Our server was attentive and we have a Celiac family member who was able to eat safely from their many gluten free options.

My husband and I had driven past this restaurant on a recent business trip, and it's roadside appeal was enough to get us to drive the 75 minutes on a Saturday night for a date night. We were able to get an early dinner reservation, and it was really great. From the cocktails to the appetizer, dinner, and our to-go dessert, it was all delicious. Our server was very attentive, and we have a visit from another employee (manager?)—Adrian—made us feel very welcome. Afterwords, we walked around the shopping area and enjoyed the early holiday decorations. We will definitely be back.
