sammy's food service & deli

great shrimp poor boy's but costly for the price ..greatshrimp poor boy's but i tell you now you can't be poor if your going to order a shrimp poor boy or oyster poor boy because it's going to cost you around 17 dollars just to get it dress / oyster lol close to 19 dollars extreme prices , i've gone to sammy's for many years i've watch it change along with the prices , after katrina they repair in a timely manner after that the prices went out the roof and that's because they were to only one's open in that area , all poor boy's are 6.99 for 4 inch and average 9 dollars for the 10 inch before being dress , even a ham and cheese will run you 11 dollars after being dress why " i don't know , also the pickles are mainly cucumbers and the lettuce is romaine that kills the sandwich for me, i prefer shredded ice burg lettuce and regular pickles like a real poor boy don't make my poor boy's fancy , ' are the poor boy's good " hell yeah they are " , the wait be prepared for a wait to order and also for them to make the sandwich , a good 35 on up , there is always a line so if your in a hurry good luck there's always a lunch crowd , so if your going to get a medium fountain drink fry's and a poor boy you better bring more than 20 dollars this is why i only eat there once in a while, but i do enjoy it .

without a doubt one of the best burgers in town.greatplace. even my four year old liked the food here.

ray ray a winner.greatfried chicken,greatdressings, can't go wrong.

better than it has to be!. this place is definitely in my nola top 10. everything'sgreathere. fresh and homemade. i never pass up the mirliton seafood soup or the okra and shrimp stew both of which are full of fresh seafood and very rich. i always get the mustard greens which are pleasantly bitter and full of lean smoked pork. the only side i don't like are the carrots which are those weird baby carrots in a slimy sugar sauce. deserts are diner style but better -- sometimes with homemade strawberry sauce. if you go during lunch rush you have to wait in line but it's always an amazing slice of new orleans, more varied and integrated than just about any place in town. and if you go after 2pm you can have the place almost to yourself. (note to sammy's you make my blood boil by your refusal to serve free water -- if you were not as good as you are i'd boycott you for this reason.)

love the food! i usually get the trout and shrimp plate, but recently went in for breakfast the club omelette was delicious. the grits were too runny but overallgreatfood. line is always long but thegreatfood is the reason.

the only bad thing about this place is the line, but after you try it you will understand why there is a line. the shrimp in the po-boy have a unique batter that is excellent. the special's and soups are great. don't dress up and if you only have time for fast food don't even attempt it.

hidden jewel. somewhere you would not expect to get quality food.greatpo-boys and burgers, however, go for the daily specials. better crawfish monica than you can get at jazz fest. as good of stuffed shrimp as anywhere in town. fried chicken cooked to order. don't go in if your in a hurry the service is slow, but friendly.

get your money's worth. i think the selection isgreatand you have such a diverse menu to choose from....and extremely generous portions. plan to leave with a doggie bag. i love the roast beef po-boys and plates!! lotza garlic!! the salads are huge, delicious and reasonably priced. i have not had a bad meal there....you will wait, but it's well worth it.
