Best BBQ in town. Food is always fresh and taste so good! Great people always friendly and great service. There catering service is the best. Stop by and grab a plate you won't be disappointed!

Amazing chicken teriyaki and pineapple coleslaw!!! My husband had the pineapple meatballs and potato salad and was also impressed. Good sized portions that filled us up.

Amazing entrees, sides, service is awesome and food so fresh and fast. I love the potato salad! Tri tip and kahlua pork are juicy and tender, perfect. My dad loves the pineapple meatballs, and whole family was stoked about the chicken teriyaki and coleslaw with pineapple juice.

I love Sammy's. I have been going there since they opened. The BBQ is excellent.. love the flavors at Sammy's. I'm a real fan of the Pulled Pork and the pineapple slaw. So good. Sammy's is wonderful for the community. We love him and all he does. Sports theme inside. I very Happy to see him open after the pandemic. Thank God he stayed.. Thank you Sammy.

Sammy's BBQ helped us so much! We needed catering for our wedding! Not only was Sammy's affordable they offered incredible service and great food. Our guests loved it so much we took them to the restaurant two days later. Overall excellent food excellent service and really made our dinner special.

It’s been a few years since I ate here, but let me tell you!! It’s only gotten better. First thing that came to mind after my first bite was “make you wanna slap yo momma!!” Shoutout to auntie for the most delicious cake!!

Came here with an empty stomach and now I’m writing this review full and satisfied. This is a must try. Head on in to get the family owned feeling, traditional service with amazing meat! I got the teriyaki chicken, and my girlfriend got the tri tip sandwich. The beans were hot! The Mac salad was super good, and most of all the chicken was super tasty, I tried one of the sauces and it just hits way different than some regular food. Got to support your local food chains, and if you’re doing that come here.

Came through here right now on a road trip. This place was recommended by the locals so I had high expectations. Every one of my expectations were met and the bar has been raised. This place is SLAPPING!! The tri tip is FIRE and the sauce is deadly good. This place is doing it all right. I love the hometown feel in here too. Lots of space being your family. If your stopping by or haven’t tried it yet your missing out. Also the staff here is super nice and the joint is clean!

Edit: Updating my review since the owner reached out and offered to replace our meal, which was much appreciated. I ordered once through DoorDash about 6 months ago and the food was amazing. Great portions for the price and just incredible flavor. This last time we ordered was in-person and was a completely different story, and I hope it was just an unusual event. I ordered the tri-tip combo with a side (or two sides, can't remember). Grilled veggies is a side option as a separate purchase, but not with the combos, which was disappointing because every other side option is loaded with carbs and I went to get BBQ specifically to avoid a carb-loaded meal. So I ordered my plate with a side my husband wanted to eat, and I skipped a side for myself. My husband also ordered a half rack of ribs. What we got, though, was not tri-tip and a half rack of ribs. We got teriyaki chicken and 2 ribs. Like 2 rib bones with meat on them for $17. It was so tiny. With the inconsistency, I can't say whether or not this restaurant is good or bad, but I can say it is capable of inconsistencies. Nevertheless, the food is good, even if it was chicken instead of tri-tip 😄

Sammy's is some really good Barbeque! Who ever is cooking in the back has got some great talent! We stopped by for lunch and we got the tri tip. So good!! They had some good shows on the TVs football, and spongebob and had some good music playing too. Cozy little spot in the middle of Eureka! If you are passing through, or if you live here in Eureka, stop by. Its good.

We planned a company picnic with just a few weeks’ notice and Sammy’s came through for us! The meats were tasty and the service was great; they brought it to our location, set up the warming stations and everything we needed. The hot food arrived hot and the fruit and salad were fresh and delicious.

Dang, this place is GOOD!!! Excellent BBQ ribs!!! Our meal came with two sides. I selected the BBQ beans, my husband ordered the fries. My husband ate all my beans he never eats beans. I highly recommend this restaurant!!!

Always quality whole food with great service. Some of the best bbq you can find in Eureka. Best potato salad ever.

Favorite place to eat when I’m in Eureka, ordered takeout and not only was everything included in my order but they also made sure to include sauces and everything was so amazingly delicious. Didn’t even have a chance to take a picture before it was all devoured, we can’t wait to visit again.

The ribs were almost fall off the bone tender. The Kalua pork was juicy and tender. The tri-tip was done medium and tender. All three meats had a light smoke flavor. The Teriyaki Chicken was the best of show, tender and the most flavor. The potato salad was good but on the eggy side. The pineapple coleslaw is different and I liked it, it's not made with mayo but is more tropical with just the pineapple juice. The french fries are the frozen variety, barely ok. The price was good, and we would definitely come back.

An OK trip tip sand. No grits, no collard greens and hardly any smoke flavor to the meat, but in a pinch and when you're hungry, who cares. Not Sonney's in Tahoe but whatevs... Would definitely eat again...

Portion size pretty small and food is grilled not bbqd. Canned beans. Bland mac salad. Fries were not good. Only redeeming quality was staff she was very nice and recommended probably the best that was to offer.

Very disappointing food overall. The chicken was dry and had no flavor without the generic teriyaki sauce. The fries were just awful and soft. The only nice part about the restaurant was the woman who took out order

First time customer. It smells so good driving past I actually turned around and went back. Several issues. The girl who took my order clearly needs a refresher course in basic restaurant hygiene practices. The place needs some serious cleaning and updating. Someone’s togo order sat at the end of the counter in a bag. It just sat there. Getting cold. When I finally received my order, it was kind of a joke. Five dollar teriyaki bowl. Unfortunately, they used one piece of chicken for both teriyaki bowls. I clearly got shorted. It was kind of pink inside. I threw up about an hour ago. And I have quite literally been sick since I ate it. I’m still sick. I don’t think I’ll ever go back. And it’s sad too because I think it could be a good place to eat. But it needs help. I do not recommend it. At least not the way it is now. The place looks rundown. And from all outward appearances, I wasn’t even sure when I pulled up whether or not they were open, or out of business..

Went there with colleagues after work today. Ordered the "loaded" kalua pork fries and a pint of cider. The first indication there was a problem was when the server rang up the drink for $7. "I thought it was happy hour," I told her. "Oh, well, the cider is... different," she said, without elaborating. I pointed to the banner hanging prominently under the counter. "It says right here, Happy Hour, 4-6 PM, draft beer and cider $4," I replied. It was 4:30. She seemed flustered, but revised the check to reflect the advertised price. We then took our seat. The inside of the restaurant was chilly (ambient temperature or less, low 50s), and I regretted not putting on a third layer. Our food was ready in about 10-15 minutes. I was immediately disappointed when I saw the tiny portion. Imagine a small-sized fast food style paper french fry basket, like in-n-out. Then picture it being filled less than 1/2 way to the top, a literal handful of fries topped with a few specks of indeterminable grey substance. At least there was a drizzle of some kind of sauce on top (I'd asked for ranch but didn't recognize it as such). The fries were edible, the few of them that there were. The pork was cold, like gobs of congealed fat, flavorless and lacking any semblance of texture. It reminded me of what I'd expect to find at a school cafeteria, except even then the portion size would be at least enough to last more than a couple of bitefuls. There's a number of decent BBQ places in Eureka. Sammy's unfortunately is not one of them. If you do still think of dining here, be on high alert for bait-and-switch pricing.
