I think it is one of the best if not the best seafood rest. in the area. I love their cheese grits.

The fried whole cat fish is great.

I do not recall ever seeing a complaint about this restaurant on TOTV.

I've eaten several times at the one in Ocala and have heard it is much better than the one in Summerfield.

i enjoyed it, and i am not a huge seafood fan. the previous post of the cheese grits is true, and i also enjoyed the hushpuppies. give it a try.

Fish is very good

Have never had a bad meal but if you are not into southern food take care when you select a side dish. Some are really southern.

Thanks for the replies. Gave it a try and enjoyed our meals. Blackened haddock was a generous portion and nicely cooked. Inexpensive too! Will go back again.

Exactly why we eat there occasionally. Hubby loves the cheese grits and I like the hush puppies, something I haven't found at any other seafood place!

We have never had a bad meal there either. Even though I don't like cheese grits, I like most everything else on the menu. We like the Ocala restaurant just as well as the Summerfield one.

On Fridays only, they have fried clams from Ipswich MA. Small, sweet and fried just they way they should be ! Miss my New England seafood but Sam St John's provides a great substitute .

TomOB 11-29-2013 08:21 PM

I am not a fan. I would rather drive farther and get good seafood.

We eat there often, and have not had a bad meal

Have eaten there quite a few times. Good food and very good service. And, we have been there with a large group.

I have eaten in two locations of Sams....the one in Summerfield is hands down great....the one in Ocala....no so much....their French fries were average....the shrimp was absolutely great and generous....cole slaw average....hush puppies were poor...baked potato was hard and barely warm.....was only their once, so it could have been an off night....I have been eating at the Sams in Summerfield for over 14 years and highly recommend it.

Love it there. I feel like I'm in a restaurant in a little fishing village. Good prices. Good food.
