Sam's Southern Eatery

"UPDATE: This owner cares about his business! He (the owner) personally came thru with a new order after my original review was posted. Fresh fried fish AND shrimp! The fresh fish was night and day to the original fish received. Flavor in seasoning was still there but could 100% tell it was fresh. Crisp and not chewy one bit. Shrimp was just as good! I’ve left my original review for transparency, but I would 100% try again. Shout out to Mike for defining what customer service should be! Thank You Mike! Ordered thru DoorDash just after 7. Ordered fried fish & shrimp, received fried fish only. Confirmed with restaurant that order was received correctly. They were willing to correct if I went to restaurant but I drive a semi and can’t pull up anywhere. Fish seasoning had good taste but it tasted old and chewy. Fried okra was ok. Yellow rice was dry and old. Also, you have to pay to get a side of cocktail sauce when ordering shrimp. Ridiculous when the shrimp doesn’t arrive with the meal."

"We visited Christmas Day around 7pm. My partner got the phillycheesesteak on recommendation from our server and I immediately wished we would have gotten 2! The fried okra literally had our jaws on the floor, it was so good. I had the peanut butter cake and again, wish we would have ordered 2 slices. I cant wait to be back in town Saturday because I'm not leaving Natchitoches without stopping by Sam's Southern Eatery again."

"Food was great! If the dining in atmosphere was jazzed up it would beat them all. Felt more like an order to go only place."

"Guy behind the counter is super awesome. Hasn’t given a bad recommendation yet. The crew and I are down here from Michigan for work and we love it."

"This place is very casual and seemed to be geared toward to-go orders as all meals were served in styrofoam boxes. It's not really fast, but the food was inexpensive and pretty good. The catfish po boy, beans and rice, and mac and cheese were very good, but the shrimp po boy was pretty bland. Overall, a good place for casual eating, just know that it is neither fancy nor fast."
