“ I had the catfish, crab cakes, shrimp, with red beans and rice and green beans. The food was ok but what really made the experience good was the lady working the register. She was so friendly, funny and it was nice to talk to her. ”
“ This place is great. Very clean and refreshing atmosphere. Service is great and food comes out really fast. The food here is so good. Everything we got was cooked to perfection. The fried food was not overdone. The fish was very moist and tender. The shrimp were tender and not too chewy. The portions are good size too. I was amazed at how big the shrimp are that you get with your meals. The oyster po boy is one of my favorites. I ate here with 9 other guys and they were all full and happy when we left and we will definitely be back to try some more. Highly recommend. ”
“ Food from Sam's Southern Eatery (Salina) was provided at a graduation party. As I can no longer eat fried food, I tried the baked fish. I am NOT a fan of fish. I'll just say, the baked fish was DELICIOUS and now, I am a fan of Sam's Southern Eatery baked fish! Thank you for making me a fan. BTW, the grilled shrimp salad is delicious, also! ”

“ Delicious Louisiana style food.Every bite explodes Cajun flavors in your mouth. I definitely recommend Sam's Southern Eatery in Salina Kansas. You will not be disappointed! I spent Twenty-Five Dollars for 3 Fish 3 Chicken Strips with a side red beans /rice and a side of Hush puppies topped off with a 32 oz. Fountain drink. Don't let the price scare you as this will be two, if not three, meals. Kudos to the staff. Thank you.:-) ”
