This place really surprised us! The food was phenomenal!! Not to mention it's a really cool place literally on the water. The staff and patrons were also super friendly. We would definitely make another trip!

Visiting my son for his 31st birthday and this is where he wanted to go. The scenery is amazing, the drinks were awesome, our server was exceptional, and the food was hot, fresh and mouth watering! The prices are very reasonable also. I'm looking forward to my next visit and I will definitely be eating here again!

Definitely enjoyed eating on the water here. Been a few times the food and drinks can be a bit pricey but it is good. Wait can be long on certain days. The view is and it’s a good atmosphere it’s away from downtown but work a try.

My friend & I met for lunch at Sam's. A beautiful marina view, sitting out on the patio overlooking the boats passing by. I chose the Salmon, topped with Capers & a special sauce. My friend had the Fried Shrimp. Everything was absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly. Our lovely server was Layla. She was very polite, professional and just a Sweetheart. She took care of our every need. Great food, Great Atmosphere & Great Company... It just doesn't get any better......

Came here on 3-14-25 for dinner with the family. Great atmosphere right on the water. Food and drinks were great. Staff was friendly and amazing. Only issue we had was their Gluten Free menu was not available in person, had to get it online. Will return!
