Sam's Southern Eatery - Hot Springs

Best catfish! Tastes great and has good breading. Philly cheese steak was also excellent. For sides, the fried green tomatoes or rice beans were the best! The coleslaw was a pass though. Employees are very nice and helpful.

The food was fresh and hot. They sell Swai Fish, who is very disappointed in Asian cats because they mislead you with some of their signage because they allegedly sell whole catfish. Over time, but it was crispy. You can taste the difference and the real fish eaters know what I'm talking about. So if you expect the U.S. Army to raise catfish....this is not the place to visit!! The exterior of the building looked almost abandoned with shrubs and shrubs not cut. The interior was pretty clean, but dated. One of these places to go when you are hungry and ready to eat something fried.

Shrimp po' boy was good. Only fries are offered as a side and were over cooked. Staff was friendly but had us locked in when we were ready to go. Fire marshal may not like that. $14.99 was a bit steep for a decent sandwich, burnt fries and a fountain soda.

Overpriced and not the best food. My daughter loves mac-n-cheese and wouldn't eat it. Crabcakes were mainly cake with very little crab. Sister got a sandwich which she liked. For what we got, it cost $98. I understand inflation and I don't mind paying for quality food but was not impressed. I don't usually like leaving reviews but this one needed one to help people on a budget.

Food always good but management questionable. Be sure and not ask for substitution due to food allergy. The guy is a major jerk about it and flat out refused? wanted me to order a more expensive dish. I got a burger instead. We order from here regularly. Probably will refrain in the future.
