I have probably been to Sam's approaching 100 times. It is dead under new management. Food quality consistently getting worse. Zero responses from management on concerns. Yet prices rise. Shouldn't be called Sam's BBQ anymore. Meat quality is poor. They even stopped serving Spicy BBQ sauce... πŸ˜†. They aren't even trying. Don't give them your money, they dont deserve it and you won't get good food here.

Been coming here for years. Used to have a model train running around the roof line, but sadly bo more. Food is still good, but the value is no longer. So expensive these days. Still, enjoyed the meal. Had a hot link and brisket. Very good. Maybe a while until I come back though, too expensive.

Great food! New attitude! This is the go to spot for ribs and Que in the South Bay. Exceeded my expecting. Beautiful staff and service. I got there early and saw the meat coming straight out the smoker.

The owners know that they're running a bbq scam. They don't actually smoke or make all of their meats in house. The last brisket I had was cooked in an oven and then put over some smoke. Even the "buttermilk battered" tenders are simply cooked frozen straight out of a bag. The burgers are frozen patties from a restaurant wholesaler somewhere far away. We use to love Sam's. But, what they're doing there now is shameful and disrespectful to their dad, the founder. The servers and manager mean well, but they also know this not legit bbq by any basic standards.

Wanted some BBQ for lunch and this was the nearby choice. Rustic western feel. U order first and pay at counter. They deliver to u at table. The picture was about $42. I’m not a billionaire (yet) and I know BBQ ain’t cheap but I think it could have a little more in the portions imo. My fave Smoked Out still charges $22 and I get 2 thick brisket slices - plus very flavorful. Taste was average here. Just working thru my BBQ fix - will post other places. Summary 3.5 stars.
