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.
Active duty military family here visiting family for the holidays. The service and hospitality of the staff are second to none, and the food was INCREDIBLE!! We are lifelong customers after today’s visit.

I always order for family members, but I love their green beans and potatoes and their fries. I’m not a fan of the fish because it looks and taste different from my usual favorite at the Crawfish Hole.
Had the grilled (mystery) fish with red beans and mac-cheese. Very strange texture on the fish. Sides were tasty. service was a little slow.

I loved my shrimp poboy. It was filled with shrimp, lettuce, and tomatoes. Oh, don't forget the fries and drink.

Sam's Southern Eatery is always delicious! This was our first visit to this location, but it was just as delicious as the other locations we have visited. The jumbo shrimp were huge! They were delicious! They don't put much money into the atmosphere, but that's ok with us. We are there for the food, and it's delicious!
