Sam’s Southern Eatery - Lawton

Very good! This restaurant doesn’t try to be something it’s not. The house-style fish and shrimp were excellent, and the red beans and rice were just right. The staff was also very friendly. I’ll definitely come back here next time I’m in Lawton.

On a different note, there’s been some confusion regarding a publication by the IRS, but I’m not sure how that relates to our experience at the restaurant. It seems there are issues with their finances, but that doesn’t concern us as customers. We just want to enjoy our meals in a clean and welcoming environment!

I had two pieces of fish that were deboned and served with red beans and rice. They were quite small, but that's not something that can be helped. However, the chicken wing I tried was much better than the fish. I also sampled the liver and gizzards, which were tasty as well. The portion in the basket was generous, and overall, it felt satisfying.

The food was delicious. well seasoned portion size was great. the prices were okay. atmosphere was okay

This place is amazing! The food is great, and I definitely recommend if you’re looking for some delicious fried fish. It’s good southern food all around, and military friendly. Lunch time is usually it’s busiest, but is well worth the wait. The staff is somewhat friendly but the food makes up for it tenfold. However, I do not recommend using a card of any kind. I’ve had two bad experiences total at this restaurant but it was due to one employee. The first time she forgot my order, and then gave it to a completely different customer who then took what she ordered off of the plate then proceeded to give it to me. I politely declined the plate and waited patiently for my actual order. The second time I called in a To Go order and was given my total over the phone, once I arrived I realized it was the same employee but gave her the benefit of the doubt seeing as tho she was busy and worked really hard. I tipped her for her politeness and then left happy and satisfied. Over the next few days I checked my bank account and realized I had been charged $10 more than what I approved of at Sam’s Southern Eatery. I then called to explain what happened, coming to the conclusion that I had just been stolen from. The manager on duty knew who took my order before I even described her, suggesting this wasn’t the first time. She then handled my complaint accordingly giving me a full refund and assured me it would never happen again. I still currently eat there, but frighteningly the employee currently still works there— which is the reason for the 4 Stars. I recommend using cash only, but I believe you should have a great southern experience.
