Smokin’ Sam’s BBQ

Fantastic BBQ at reasonable prices. Everything was excellent. We especially loved the ribs, baked beans, crab cake and cornbread. Will definitely be going back!

We were on our way home from North Carolina and stopped here. It was delicious. There were four of us and we all got something different. Everything was amazing. My brisket sandwich was packed with meat and I wasn't able to finish it. Delicious!

I live local not that that matters however I have been seeing some post about Smokin Sam’s on a Facebook group and decided to make the 20 minute drive each way. I should have been suspicious when I pulled up to a mostly empty strip shopping center But decided to support this business . I was there at lunchtime during Bike week, no one was in there, except for the bartender. That should’ve been another clue. I placed my order for a crabcake platter. It came out without too much of a wait, , which was good. I got home and was sadly disappointed that their kitchen let this crabcake go out burnt. Did they throw it on the barbecue? It was also terribly salty, and the tartar sauce was basically ketchup and mayo and more salt . I would have called and asked them to replace my crabcake, but I didn’t feel like doing the 40 minute round-trip again. Too bad…

Dear local Sam
Thank you for the response, that’s admirable.
Thank you for correcting me about the friendly lady that’s not a bartender and your tartar sauce. Oh and about the shopping plaza. Now that I understand it’s only carry out, yes I sure was confused. I am in the customer service field and when someone has a compliant I do my best to make things better and be understanding not throw the situation back in their face. You keep the money I paid you as crab meat is expensive. By the reviews it seems your kitchen just needs some attention to detail to be the great place it could be.
