Sam Hicks Real Food Drive In

"Great food and variety. While a lot of the negative comments below seem to relate to the aesthetics of the building, let the haters hate while the rest of us living in reality will continue to enjoy the food. This is local food in a small town. This isn’t a food venue infused with a massive budget for capital improvements. If you expect Edina Southdale, please go there instead. I love this place and continue to find it convenient to stop in and enjoy local food. Turkey burrito is highly recommended."

"If this is the best that Spooner has to offer, I completely understand why the Spooner Blows bridge exists. Calling this food mediocre is being generous. Not only would I not feed this food to my dog, I'd rather eat my dog than spend another dollar at this place. In fact, I think I'm going to do that right now. Thanks a lot Sam Hicks, my daughter is going to be devastated."

"Sam Hicks is boasted as one of the best places to eat in town however I find it to be incredibly mediocre, dry food and a room full of broken arcade games I'm only coming here again if I feel like being depressed. The rotting ceiling tiles are a nice touch. If I hadn't paid before hand I would of left after the first bite. Disgusting."

"Hugh selection of items if there is something you want they more than likely have it. Very fair prices and good service. Also the taco salad that my Mom got was so nicely presented it really deserves a mention."

"Wow. This place is the real deal. I’m not sure why it is called a “drive in”, maybe for search results, but this place was awesome. Large menu of items. Delicious food. Great ice cream treat selection for desert. I had the chimichanga as other reviewers said to get. Phenomenal. I asked for some of their hot sauce (about the same “heat” as the green sauce at chipotle) and that moved the chimi from great to ridiculously good. My friend had the Super Nachos and those looked delicious and he said they were. Another guy near us had a rueben. That looked great also. Large portions. In the Covid times, they do have a front porch with covered tables to sit at. They also have a screen porch with a couple tables if it’s buggy or raining. They do a LOT of takeout so don’t be shy about calling up and ordering to go. They have a side window specifically for take out orders. It’s a really good system. The previous reviews prompted me to give Sam Hicks a try when I was in Spooner. The food was so good, I’m going back to Spooner on vacation just to eat here again. This place is FIVE minutes from the golf course if you’re playing a round and looking for lunch afterward. The ONLY negative is they are only open until 4PM on Sundays. Not really a negative. But if you’re planning supper on Sunday, and you want Sam Hicks, just know you need to order a bit earlier. I’ll definitely be back. Thanks for the great meal!"
