OMG... the food is crazy good! If you are a seafood lover then Sammys restaurant is the place to visit. It is the place for a seafood lover surrounded by a lake. There is Sammys fishbox, Sammys shrimpbox and Sammys seashore restaurant. Before I food...arrived we were served with two types of bread, butter, cheese, ice relish tray with olives. Yum! And thank you to our waiter Jimmy.More

Was there June 24/2021 food was poor portions smaller and price was doubled than when we went in October 2020

The people were very nice and helpful thruout. We had two different style lobsters a steamed and a baked stuffed which were both excellent (and we've visited Maine often). Everything they brought out with the meal (corn bread, Italian loaf, salad, corn, fries) were exceptionally...tasty. It wasn''t cheap but it was an excellent value - and desserts each were enough for two.More

Food was tasteless and way overpriced. It did not include what was stated. The salad lettuce wasn’t even cut up. I will not return and don’t recommend this restaurant.

I probably had one of my worse meals at Sammy’s. My wife & I ordered baked clams & calamari for appetizer. Calamari was soft & chewy. Then we ordered Stuffed Shrimp with crab Meat. The shrimp and crab meat very rubbery. It must have been...frozen, before cooked. Even corn on the Cobb was soft, must have been sitting for a long time, before being served.More

The worst experience so far. I’ve been here before but never had I experienced bad customer service as such. When we arrived we were seated and although it was heater in the tented area it was freezing cold. There was only two heaters and not...to mention the wait for the food was half hour. After receiving our food mines was cold we told the waiter and he replied we have to walk with the food from a block always😠. I was floored I couldn’t even eat it just with the whole experience I was ready to go. We packed the food and we asked for the check. Only to find out they only accept chip cards. My husband had to walk outside around the corner to ATM. Never will I go here again. $120 was a waste I want my money back....More

Had the pleasure of dining here the other night. Could not have had a better experience for my 1st time eating out during the pandemic. All servers were fantastic! Our waitress, Janice was great! The food was plenty and wonderful! Sammy's outdoor setup is beyond...what I imagined. Sorry to see some of the negative reviews. We were a small party, we were seated right away & the service was excellent. With the pandemic, there are so many rules set in place for dining. Our experience was a very positive one. SAMMYS ROCKS!More

Poor service when to go eat with my with food took forever to come when finally came food was cold they said the will give us new meals and they didn’t they bought the same meals back over cook and the rest of the meal...still cold bad service will never go there to eat again very Unprofessional peopleMore

The food was spectular! & the host was very polite! We'll definitely be back!! Thank you! 😊 I would highly recommend this restaurant

nitemare getting to city island between the traffic and crazy drivers. Seriously the food isnt great and is seriously over priced, the small portions. staff unimpressive. they should get a new chef not worth the time or effort to commute not to mention a waste...of money, place should have shut down years agoMore

I'm not one to write bad reviews but when a hostess gets disrespectful, it just ruins the whole experience. I understand we were a goup of 12 and it isn't allow to sit that many people together but we were willing to compromise if we...sat near each other. The hostess said it'll take 1:30 hours for us to get tables near each other, ok no problem other resturants had very long lines too. So she keeps coming out and takes everyone around us including a group of 12 people? We decided to compromise and we split groups. Then, she tells us only 6 people can sit together? At that point, it was coming off as if she was doing this on purpose. Then she said, no tables near each other. My group sits down far across from the other group, I mean complete opposite corners. Guess what, we look around multiple empty tables but she said she can't change us at that point because they are reserved for other people? No reservation required if anyone wants to know, pass 4PM. The waiter was good, food amazing but hostess from hell. FYI, her name is Maria.More
