    We ate here for my son’s graduation. The service was very good, however the food was extremely disappointing for the $250 bill. Everyone ordered steaks. They were a gray color and fatty. There was more fat than meat. The meat was also very tough. Each steak had a sauce on top which tasted like it came out of a can and overly sweet. Nothing we ordered seemed fresh. Too expensive for the quality of food we were served.

    Our waiter was one of the best servers we have had in a long time. He was very informative, prompt and very friendly. The taste of the food was very excellent as always. The portion sizes were disappointing and everyone left still hungry. Had the pork saltimbocca dinner which had less than 6 ounces of pork and no prosciutto. Substituted the green beans for a different side. They charged the bill as though the replacement was for an additional side.

    The service was excellent. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and kind. We didn’t realize that the weekend we chose was BGSU’s family weekend, so it was extremely busy and loud.

    We had the pleasure of dining at Sam B's on a Sunday evening with friends visiting from Canada on their way to Tennessee. We chose this spot not only for its convenient location near home but also for its proximity to I-75, making it an easy stop for our traveling companions. Our meal was a delightful experience from start to finish. We ordered the NY Strip steak entree, the Jumbo Shrimp platter, the Lake Perch platter, and the Bruschetta appetizer and French Onion soup. Each dish was not only delicious but also beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. It was a joy to share this culinary gem with our out-of-town guests. The service at Sam B's was equally impressive. Our server was fast and friendly, ensuring we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. We enjoyed our time there for about two hours, not because we were waiting for our food, but because we were caught up in conversation and laughter with our friends. The staff was patient and accommodating, allowing us to savor our meal and the company. Overall, Sam B's provided a wonderful dining experience that we’ll be eager to revisit. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food and a welcoming atmosphere!

    I hadn’t been to Sam Bs in quite a while. Decided to meet cousins from out of town there. From the moment I walked in the door, Anne Marie was there! So very helpful with our gluten free needs and suggestions, attentive but just the right amount. The food was excellent! I would definitely go back and definitely recommend it!

    We always have a great experience at SamB’s so it was surprising to have such a grizzly steak. Flavor was good, service was good, but the food was barely lukewarm and difficult to eat the steak. Still, we will always go back!
