Sammy’s Grill

Everything was delicious. Had the burger melt it was fresh and delicious. Highly recommend the spinach and artichoke dip with chips. Its probably some of the best dip iv ever eaten.

Came here for drinks with some coworkers. Only ordered appetizers and drinks. The standout appetizer was the fried green tomatoes with crab bisque topping. Ordered seconds of it. The buffalo shrimp were also a good choice. Spicy but not too spicy, just a little kick. The spinach artichoke dip was lifeless and tasteless. I hardly tasted any alcohol in my strawberry daiquiri. I also ordered an Amaretto sour, which was delicious. This place has a very hometown feel, seems like a very popular local spot. Be warned, parking is just awful. I got there around 445 and barely found a spot.

When there around 8:30pm and place empty. Sat at table and ordered beer for start. Waitress never checked back. Had to wave to get attention. Ordered food finally and took forever to come out. Brought food out and fork and knife had food particles on them. Brought second set out and dirty also. Got manager out and he said sorry. Paid for beer and left cold food there. They need to train the waitresses. Service is terrible at Zachary and Central locations.

Can’t find a location that can get a to-​go order correct. Who wants to eat a baked potato with nothing on it? Better yet, who wants to pay $ 3.25 for a baked potato with nothing on it? Always a disappointment with their service on to-​go orders… I forgot to mention that my chicken fingers felt like they came from the refrigerator.

Arrived shortly before 7 and was promptly seated. Then begins the observations.
I’m in town for work, so not my normal stomping grounds but was neat to see literally everyone, and I mean everyone else come in and recognize half the other diners, I watched more waves and «how ya been» chats than I can recall. Waitresses rushing around everywhere, service being on a high note, however was odd to see such an establishment with wait staff and hostesses with such short shorts, seemed distasteful when it was selective.
My waitress was on point, very polite and attentive and a pleasure from start to finish, service here (at least for me) was solid. Food, interesting and in some cases downright delicious. I ordered the fried alligator appetizer and for entrée the bayou catfish with a side caesar salad.
The alligator was cooked to perfection. Perfectly fried, not chewy at all and very good taste. If anything, the remoulade sauce was a bit overpowering, but it was tasty. A+ for this, very impressive. The salad came next, and what was a side salad could easily be a meal, honestly, while good, entirely too large for a compliment to your entrée. My entrée came and also came with a stuffed potato, I was confused as figured was one or another, I did inquire about the potato so possibly thought I wanted it added, no matter figured it would just be added to check.
The bayou catfish was good. All had good flavor, catfish breading not my cup of tea but it was done well and the «sauce» was remiss or identical to that of a corn bisque, which wasn’t a bad thing at all. Sadly however, I was so full from appetizer and salad, I barely put a dent in anything and took 90% of it to go, lets hope it warms up well.
Overall, this place seems like a winner. There’s not much in the way of options in the area and I drove from St. Francisville to give it a try. Prices are a bit up there but when you look at ingredients and the overall clientele/​demographic of the area it makes perfect sense.
Give it a try, its worth it.

Always packed. Parking is awful. Staff has been unknowledgeable of what dishes consist of.
Felt like we were at hooters with the dress code.
Recommend the grilled shrimp salad. It was really large and filling.
Wish the accommodations were more spacious. Feel like the tables are crammed next to each other.
When this place first opened the food was amazing and service was as well. Staff was dressed confortably and more professional. Wish they would have kept same standards :(

Fried cheese is ridiculous, definitely try it! Chicken club was great too. Service was friendly and attentive. Will be back.

Good still good service is good if with a crowd. When I go by myself it is soo… slow.

I EAT at Sammy every Wednesday for lunch and it is a great place to have lunch love it. try the meatloaf special umum.
Hopefully we’re good there if not JJ made a big mistake letting DMurray get away.#DCNATION!!.

Good, solid dining experience but is overrated. The last few times have not been great, especially considering the prices. I’ll stick to boiled crawfish when in season (usually very good), but there are better places in Zachary without the inevitable hour-​long wait on Friday or Saturdays.

Everything at Sammy’s is good, but today my husband had the grilled shrimp poboy and I had to stop myself from finishing it. The shrimp were grilled perfectly and it was covered in grilled onions, mushrooms and peppers and it was probably the best thing I’ve had at Sammy’s. The French bread was crunchy and made this poboy amazing. I had the pepper jack chicken which is always a go to for me and I was disappointed as the chicken was juicy and covered in the right amount pepper jack cheese and grilled pepper and onions. The mashed potatoes and gravy were comfort food at its best, fresh and rich. The service is always super friendly and you can’t go wrong stopping by Sammy’s in Zachary.

I found myself with a couple of hours before my flight out of Baton Rouge and made the short drive to Zachary. I’m glad I did. The most difficult part is picking something from their extensive menu. Based on other reviews I had to have the seafood stuffed potato and it didn’t disappoint. In fact that could have been enough for lunch. However, I also had a LaBLT that included cheddar cheese and avocado and it was terrific as well. I noticed a plate of onion rings served to a table nearby and wished I had one. Service was outstanding by a young guy named Noël. He was very personable and efficient despite a heavy lunch crowd. All in all, a gem of an establishment. I’ll make a point to go back on a future trip to BR.

Working in Zachary from out of town, this place was recommended to me. Came by for lunch with a colleague. We had, gumbo, étouffée, side salad and a ½ poboy. Service was great, food was delicious. Gumbo was very tasty and had lots of shrimp in it. Poboy was hot and tasted great. Side salad was fresh and had lots of veggies with what appeared to be fresh blue cheese dressing.

Not real sure why the rating is so low here. I’m working nearby from out of state. This place was highly recommended to me by several people I was working with. The food was hot, fresh and very good. Service was prompt, courteous, and very polite even while very busy. Prices might be a little high to some people, but the amount of food and the quality of food leaves no doubt as to why it’s priced where it is. You pay for what you get, and it’s very fair. I don’t mind paying a little extra for great food and service. I would highly recommend this place to anyone at any time from my first experience here. I will be back to experience more great food from this place. The only negative thing I could possible say about this place, is it needs a bigger parking lot for its customers.

Ate there for the first time today. Fried pickles and fried string cheese is delicious!!! I also got a ribeye that was great cooked to perfection! I’ll be going back oh and the service was fast and fantastic!!!

Love coming here ! The seafood stuffed baked potato is the winner here ! It’s not on the menu so you have to ask for it ! Even if your told they don’t have that, tell your waitress yes you do, and when she checks, SURPRISE !!! I’m never dissapointed when I come here ! My favorites are the Zachary and Prairieville locations ! If you haven’t been there do yourself a favor, GO !!

Food is great! Appetizer we are getting Chips and salsa, my partner is ordering fried pork with red beans and rice. And i am getting the BBQ shrimp, comes with salad, potato, and garlic bread!!! We just got out chips and salsa! And they are delicious! This place is always packed and it’s very friendly! Today is really busy, must be a lot of baseball games going on for the kids! Overall this place gets a 10 in my book

Ordered the fried pickles for an appetizer.
Ordered the blackened tuna steak with steamed vegetables.
Ordered the bread pudding for dessert.
Fried pickles were great!
Blackened tuna was done perfect.
Bread pudding I took back to the hotel room and enjoyed very much.
It was busy on a Tuesday night but I got right in. It was just me on this visit. Service was great. Never had a low glass of tea and Aubri checked on me regularly. Ask for Aubri! She was great!
No complaints at all!
Everyone around me were eating crawfish. They must be good here.

Came here for crawfish and it didn’t disappoint. Ho mah gah, the creole seasoning used to flavor these bad boys were just amaze ballz. It had that depth of spice with the hit of celery and paprika. My friends and I ended up ordering 10lbs of crawdads and every one of them were nice and plump.
Also had their Fried Cheese and I wasn’t sure what this was until they brought it out. Turned out to be the best and biggest fraggin mozz sticks I’ve ever had. Nicely seasoned outside with a crispity, crackly, crunchity texture.
This place is aces.

Anywhere Turbodog is served, the food usually good I have found, but this is Arbita’s home state. (If you like Guinness, iI think you will like Turbodog especially on draft, I like it better) salad dressings taste all bottled and tasteless except house homemade Parmesan vinegarette which was very tasty served on consistent fresh lettuce. Gumbo with shrimp and crab, red beans & rice both good Cajun staples. Crawfish étouffée was bland, greasy and too few crawfish. Poboys all good as shrimp were big and fresh. Burgers were raved about and they did look good and juicy. I’m working here all week and all-​in-​all best food for variety I’ve found. Prices reasonable and service good especially at bar. Average at best.
