sammy's food service & deli

great shrimppoorboy's but costly for the price .. great shrimppoorboy's but i tell you now you can't bepoorif your going to order a shrimppoorboy or oysterpoorboy 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 , allpoorboy'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 realpoorboy don't make mypoorboy's fancy , ' are thepoorboy'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 apoorboy you better bring more than 20 dollars this is why i only eat there once in a while, but i do enjoy it .

the best food i never get. sammy's food is terrific. the burgers are huge and great, the fried food is crispy and well seasoned. the side dishes are very creative and always delicious. yet, i never go there for a couple of reasons.

i strongly dislike counter service restaurants. i always feel rushed at the counter when ordering and i don't like having to stalk and then claim a table. i also don't care for the self service drink station. the selection is very limited and consists of low quality fountain soft drinks and the iced tea has prettypoorflavor.

parking is a major pain and, in my opinion, is actually dangerous. there are only spots for about 5 cars and the lot is right at a bad intersection along a heavily traveled road.

also, the place is freezing cold ! the dining area is small and the air conditioner is very powerful and blows an ice cold gale force wind at every table.

the food is awesome, but i just can't stand the hassels involved with getting it.

update 10/15/2012 : gina at sammy's emailed me to let me know they have parking behind the restaurant. i didn't know that. thanks gina !
