  • This restaurant is a must stop between Dallas and Houston. With great country food, salad bar, and a friendly staff you can’t go wrong eating at Sam’s. The menu is so good here you may want to eat it. I particularly love the country fried chicken with gravy and fried okra.

  • For all you can eat this place was excellent. They had a full bar and a separate menu you could order from. I chose the Buffett 20 bucks and some peach cobbler at the end that was very good.

  • This is a nice buffet on your way. I remember the potatoe salad being really good. Nice big pieces of pies and cakes for desserts. A nice variety of foods to fulfill you.

  • Its the yummy cliché of taste good, feel good, get in my tummy comfort food. Chicken and dumplings, Salisbury steak, mashed potatoes, fried chicken, brisket, pies, bread. Not keto friendly. Clean bathrooms, private stalls, and a gift store. Easy access to highway. Perfect stop while traveling between dfw and houston.Houston. $64 for 2 beers a Margarida and 3 buffets

  • I drive an 1hour and 40 mins for the buffet is so delicious and homemade.... Awesome service and such amazing ppl.. Love this place

  • Soooo good! We almost did not stop here because we all said we weren't quite hungry enough yet to eat the buffet but it didn't want to miss a chance at this restaurant again. Every time we're heading to Dallas our timing is just not right. After finally getting to stop and eat there my husband said from now on we're planning our trip leave times around being able to stop at this restaurant. I don't ever eat enough to justify paying for a buffet but this one was so worth it. Couldn't help eating some bread because it's so good like my grandma used to make. You know how you go to some places and the ice cream is just like frozen milk, it has no taste or flavor? That was not the case here. It actually had a really good taste. Wish we lived closer because it's so worth it!!! I think there were eight or nine stalls in the ladies bathroom which is great instead of having to wait in line because there's only 1 or 2.

  • The service was excellent. The bread was amazing. The salad bar was excellent. The main buffet had a lot of thanksgiving dinner items on it which would be my only complaint. I would have preferred a more traditional buffet menu but it makes sense for them to offer that at this time of year. Brisket was good. I liked the chicken fried steak of the buffet. They also had homemade style pies (coconut, chocolate, pumpkin). They were excellent.

  • We've been going for many years. We've also enjoyed celebrating birthdays there. Sometimes with 5-10 people, other times with quite a few more. The food is always good as is the service! They also have a small, well stocked gift shop. I've always managed to find a little gift for someone/or me there! If you've never been, go! You'll go back! (There were so many around the buffet, I forgot later to get a pic of the food... next time!)
