Always Great

Jul 2020 • none

Everytime we are on the Cape we try and make a trip to Seafood Sam's. The food is always fresh and you know you will get a great meal. the Clam Chowder is delicius. This location was order at the window and pickup to take out to the outdoor dining picnic tables. Ordering process at counter was a little concerning as there were a ton of people on top of each other. Once outside tables were distanvced apart. I would bring your own cleaning supplies for tables as I only saw one table wiped down by employee during the hour and a half we were there. Hoping next time we visit they will have a better system in place. I will still go but this time I will be more prepared.

No-frills seafood

Sep 2020 • none

My wife and I enjoyed a very nice quiet seafood dinner twice at Seafood Sam’s at the end of September. We are very active during the day so we did not get there till 8 o’clock tonight but the wait staff was very helpful and very friendly. Both nights we got the baked seafood platter for 2 and there was more than enough different seafood the both of us. The scallops were absolutely scrumptious. One night we got the lobster bisque the other night we got the clam chowder which we split. Both soups had plenty of vegetables and clams or lobster depending on the night in a very tasty thick broth. I enjoy trying different kinds of local beer I tried their Cape Cod Red which was excellent. I can only imagine during the summer this could get to be a very noisy restaurant. Prices are half of what they are along the shoreline of downtown and the food was just as good.

Excellent Seafood!

Jun 2020 • family

Our family had dinner there and it was excellent! Most of us had the Fish & Chips, which was delicious. I have to eat gluten free, but to my surprise, they offer gluten free flour and bread crumbs. I was so happy! I ordered the GF Fish & Chips. That too was excellent! My daughter ordered the chicken sandwich and she loved it. I would highly recommend Seafood Sam’s for great seafood.

Excellent choice for take out

Jul 2020 • none

We’ve been eating this food for many years. Sams has this down to a science Try the New England style clam chowder , you won’t regret it As many years we have eaten here, it’s very consistent and delicious You can get meals broiled or fried. The staff is excellent taking orders and the place is highly efficient If you like less food , get a stuffed quahog and some chowder A lot of choices. Sams is always a stop when we visit Falmouth

Good Meal, Good Deal

May 2021 • solo

Stopped in to take advantage of their lunch menu. Order at counter and they give you a buzzer when ready. I got the fried clam strip platter. Came with cole slaw and fries (you can choose fries, rice pilaf or baked beans.) Ordered it to go. Short wait. They def seem to be doing everything they can to adhere to pandemic rules with lots of hand sanitizer stations. There is indoor seating and lots of outdoor seating. The food was really good. The clams tasted fresh. Lightly breaded so you didn’t feel like all you were eating was breading. Fries and slaw were good. Total was around $12. Good meal and good deal.

Staple of Cape Cod

Jun 2020 • none

Came for lunch, this time at the Falmouth version of this place, ordered our meal inside, then sat outside on the lawn tables, which was nice. We ordered seafood and non-seafood meals for four of us, and everything was good. Fairly expensive and definitely a bit greasy but good. Keeping in mind this place is a fast-food kinda place (order inside, get a buzzer, go get it when ready) we didn't expect much more. No table service, but overall a good spot!

Just what I was expecting

Sep 2021 • none

Pretty simple fast-food kind of seafood place (order inside and pay, get a buzzer or they will text you when it is time to pick up your food. No table service but there is inside and outside seating. We had the lobster roll with coleslaw which was very good but not that large.

Scrumptious Seafood

Sep 2020 • none

We ate dinner at Seafood Sam's on a Tuesday evening. My husband had lobster bisque and the broiled seafood dinner. I had the Tuesday special: lobster roll, coleslaw and fries. Our food was perfectly prepared, good sized portions and reasonably priced. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals. There was a young man who cleans down the tables in the inside dining room and the restaurant adheres to the CDC considerations for restaurants.

Very good

Aug 2021 • none

My favorite seafood restaurant in Falmouth, maybe even the entire cape. Fresh breaded scallops served with choice of potato (I had rice pilaf) and coleslaw. Scallops were tender, moist , sweet and just delicious. I couldn't finish them, so had them for dinner the next night at home. Outstanding seafood. We're headed to the cape again next week, so we will be having at least one meal there. So good!

5 RGerman’s on Cape Cod

Jun 2022 • family

We drove in from York, Pa. 9 hours worth. Once we unpacked we needed the Sea and Seafood. Our son Ryan was quick to technology and we landed at Seafood Sam's I mean Seafood Sam’s, how could we go wrong? Ya’ can’t !! We all ordered seafood of some sort, Fish Tacos, Calamari, Popcorn Shrimp, Tuna Roll all coming w/fries, coleslaw. $ for 5 = $85, not too $$ considering the portions, and you are on Cape Cod. Everything tasted great, large portions but not enough to be full (space for ice cream) Drinks are the big ticket monies, we asked for and received cups for water. We grabbed a table inside - there are 3 places to sit, main dining, a little glass alcove and outside along the trees, picnic table style. We were called when the food was ready, served cafeteria style where we grabbed our trays, which works! Then the feast began….and what a feast!!

i didn't know they served southern fried chicken-

Jul 2020 • none

We recently had a delicious meal at Seafood Sam's. We usually get their yummy fried fish and shrimp. This time, we tried their southern fried chicken. Wow- that was delicious. Nice and crispy on the outside and moist on the inside.At some restaurants, the chicken is greasy and over cooked, but not at Seafood Sam's. Speaking with the chef, he explained the cooking oils are changed daily and the order is cooked in a pressure cooker. This item is not to be missed.

Nice dinner

Aug 2020 • none

This is the 2nd time we've eaten here. This time with a much larger party...12 people. Fast service, great outside dining during COVID times, so we felt fortunate they were able to take us all. Very good food, decent prices.

The best fish sandwich on the Cape

Sep 2022 • none

We stopped here twice this summer on our way back from the Vineyard. Both times we got the fish sandwich. My wife and I were blown away both times by the quality. I believe it's made with haddock but definitely not cod. The portion is large, the lettuce and tomatoes and pickle were fresh and crunchy, not wilted as it was served on the side. The tartar sauce was great. Our 12 year old daughter got tired of us talking about how great they were. As a lifelong New Englander I've had a lot of fish sandwiches. Before I discovered Seafood Sam's the Net Result in Vineyard Haven had the best fish sandwich in my opinion. The Falmouth location has a very clean, comfortable dining room. The women at the counter are efficient. I can't wait until the spring since they close for the winter..

Great broiled seafood platter

Aug 2020 • family

The broiled seafood platter was very good. It had chunky lobster meat, butterflied shrimp, scallops bits, and haddock fish. It comes with coleslaw and a side of your choice. We choice fries and baked potatoes. The portion is big and definitely filling. The franchise is different from other locations and we liked this one.

Great lunch!

Sep 2020 • none

We loved our food here, all perfectly cooked. Be sure to order their onion rings, made fresh daily, some of the best I've ever had, very light, crispy, not greasy. The baked haddock sandwich was excellent, loved the flavored toasted breadcrumbs (might have been Ritz??). Loved the fried scallops, lobster roll and chowder. Even their carrot cake was yum! Restaurant is very clean, excellent social distancing. Nice spot.
