Sam's is one of my favorite GO TO restaurants when visiting Monroe. I could rattle on on how delicious and ABUNDANT the food is. People assume that fried foods are greasy. NOT HERE. We ordered a fish combination and a chicken wing combination. There was not even a trace of oil on the paper inside. There had to be at least 12 fish filets and they were crunchy and perfectly seasoned. All I can say on the chicken wing combo is ..... where do they find such HUGE chicken wings. We ordered three but they gave us four. And for just $4 and change including two two delicious sides. We were really hungry, but could not finish all of it! But it reheats beautifully. I have also tried the grilled fish and it was OUTSTANDING and also perfectly seasoned. The condiments and sauces push it over the edge. The location is convenient to all areas of the Twin Cities or River Cities. I read some previous reviews on this location being a poorly refurbished Popeyes. WRONG. (no offense) It is sparking clean, has a unique and modern interior and exterior, and from the lines of people no one really cares what the building once was anyway. This is Louisiana.... they do not wastefully bulldoze popular or historic locations. This saves the customers money. Most of the evening clientele was a culturally rich balance of people from all over Monroe, waiting for to go orders. At lunch it is mostly dine in. Great location near the hospital district and civic buildings. And such a wonderful place to dine in with multiple flat screen TV's and large tables that encourage conversation, dining and people watching. I think we may have to g again tonight! Coming from a metro area of nearly eight million people (Dallas/Plano/Richardson) Sam's would meet or beat their finest based on the food and the prices!

Over battered, overcooked, quantity over quality food. If you want a huge portion, but don't really care about or know quality, this place is for you. Discerning diners should avoid.

The place was easy to get in and out. The service was cordial and the food came out in an appropriate time. I had the shrimp poboy and it was delicious. Definitely making another stop whenever I get a chance.

I ordered the chicken wing platter which comes with two sides. The portions are very large and tasty. It is a little sketchy and the inside smells really sour which is a turn off. One of the ladies who works there is extremely rude and doesn't have great customer service skills. Overall it's ok but I won't be back.

The place is right next to the highway. At first we were suspicious about the decoration and neighborhood, but wait until you try their food! Their fried-fish was mediocre but try their fried-shrimp po-boy! It sooooo good!

When visiting the twin cities, I must always make a stop at Sam's Southern Eatery. ENORMOUS portion sizes and great food. Friendly service all around. Check it out. You won't regret it.

Every time I visit my family in Monroe I make it my mission to visit this place before I leave. The fried oysters are the best I've ever had and let me tell you... I LOVE oysters! Must try! The side orders are delicious too.

This place is rather interesting. You are gonna get your heart clogged but at a cheap price. Whatever you order, one plate can feed two people. At $8.99 (one of the cheaper plates, although the more expensive plates are a dollar or two more, typically), I picked the 3 fish-3 shrimp combo with fries and two hush puppies. I think the more you order, you logarithmically get a ton more, hence my note of price. As far as the batter is concerned, it's weak to average. It isn't bad but it is weakest out of all restaurants I have visited in the last year. The fish? It isn't the freshest b/c it has that subtle fishy feel but nothing different from Captain D's. HOWEVER, they pile on the fish. So huge. And the shrimp? Jumbo size shrimp that I just assumed to be from China b/c you can't get that size shrimp for that cheap of a price if it ain't from China (?). So even though I wasn't impressed by the batter or freshness, you come here for the serving portions and price. It's cheap. Overall, the food is very, very average but the serving size is hellah impressive making this trip worth it. So set your expectations low on quality but still be impressed on ghettoness and quantity. Peace.

8-27-13- I picked this place based on reviews on yelp and from speaking to people in the city of Monroe. All I can say is I wish I would have gone to another place. Taste of the fish wasn't that great it was somewhat mushy. Being from Southwest Louisiana I like my food with a little spice. This was not even close to being spicy, it was bland. For those who don't mind bland then this is the place for you. On the plus side you get a lot of food at a great price.

This place is great for what it is: great southern fried foods on the go. We ordered in for lunch, and the food was ready rom the time I left the office to the restaurant.

I order the 3 chicken wing plate with french fries and mac n cheese and it is soooo good. They actually give you 4 large chicken wings, the fries are my fav and really seasoned and the mac n cheese is good as well. By the way only $5.49 i might add. The establishment however is a total differenct story. It was an old Popeyes building which they didnt bother doing any cosmetic rearrangements or updates. It smells like old wet mop inside and in the bathrooms which is disgusting !! I've stopped going there so often because of the potential heart attack ill have from all the food lol but the smell and untidiness. All in all, the food is about a 3 for me.

This is a "fast food" place for Southern food, but don't let that fool you. They specialize in Southern fried seafood, but also have chicken. I got the 3 fish, 3 shrimp, 3 oyster combo with a side of dirty rice and a side of cole slaw. My husband got the 3 fish, 3 chicken, 3 shrimp combo with mac'n cheese and green beans. We also split an order of fried green tomatoes and two drinks. Our total came out to about $37. I know it seems kind of pricey for "fast food," but this ain't no ordinary fast food. First, the servings are HUGE. Second, all the fried food was fried to perfection. Now I know what people mean when they say the South knows how to fry food. Seriously! Crispy, moist, not at all greasy, and seasoned really well. The fried oysters were so good ( perhaps the best I've had) that I had to take a picture of them. (See pics). Now tell me, is that not a super sexy piece of fried oyster? Yum! The sides and fried tomatoes were good too. My favorite side was the dirty rice. If you are ever in the neighborhood and have a hankering for really good fried food, I highly recommend Sam's.

OUTSTANDING!!! We couldn't believe our eyes after we ordered and received our food! The portions are large and the price is right. I hope this place stays just as it is... fried chicken strips are not your mother's style, you get a whole breast fillet fried to perfection!! The seafood was done just right, the sides... let me just say, we were just surprised at how well run this place was and how fast the orders are taken and delivered. We were visiting for a week and couldn't resist going back three times! If I could change one thing, the sweet tea might need to be refreshed a little more often people from there said it was a little weak. Overall, wish we had one in California, they'd make a mint!!
