I should have never strayed from my regular fried fish joint. This place is freshly-made, hand delivered stomach ache in a bag. First, the order took an HOUR AND A HALF on a Thursday night @ 6:30pm. So should I expect my food to take THREE hours if I weren't to order during early bird dinner hours? Second, the fish was definitely not good, as in not edible. Ever eaten something and your mind says "not a good idea!"? Exactly. Spare your belly and steer clear. A big thumbs down! Super :( on money sorely wasted.

The dudes that run it or hang out there often are TOO freaking LOUD. He did however get my drift when I stared at him during many 1 of his attempts to be the comedian of the shop. Then went right back to the noise minutes later... The waitress was ok but the food is so far from memorable. The salad was bathed in dressing, the smothered pork wasn't smothered in anything but salt (not enough gravy), the peach cobbler had peach but no cobbler (not enough pastry), the collards were slightly undercooked, and crab cakes appetizer was actually a salad (again, bathed in dressing) w/ 2 SMALL cakes that could BOTH fit in the palm of your hand for $12! The yams, mac & cheese, and Grandma's fruit punch were good but I'm not returning JUST for 2 sides and some juice.

49 years on the planet and I finally found a Banana Pudding equivalent to that of South Carolina'. Samantha's Southern Cuisine, Clinton Hills hosts a monthly music venue featuring young local artists starting out in the business. We've frequented the spot over the past year and found the food to be hit or miss on occasion, but the Banana Pudding will always get me back. Working at a local college whose Hospitality Department hosts Lunch and Dinner for faculty & staff, my expectations for quality service are high but this family run & owned business is doing well. The atmosphere is quaint, accessible via public transportation or walking, and the staff works very hard to ensure all feel at home.

Happy to see a nice and decent Soul place is in town. You can definately tell this is a real family establishment by the interaction amgonst the staff :) heheh. The Fried Fish and chicken maintain good flavor while the Mac and Cheese are on the money. It has a nice (non greasy atmosphere) while also serving some down home southern dishes. I would like to see some potatoe salad and coconut cake put on the menu later on down the linw

Yessss! You must try the chitlin stuffed rutubaga, it is fierce. Others in my party had the grilled cow's tongue, pan-seared goat's brain, and the surprisingly succulent "Rocky Mountain Oysters" over braised cabbage. All dishes are paired well, and the aromas of the place make you feel like Loretta Lynn's best friend (when she was po'). The night I was there, the staff was watching Rupaul's Drag Race, and the staff began to "walk the runway" while serving dishes. If you like "put yo foot in it" food, then run, don't walk, to Samantha's. Holla!

My husband and I had lunch here this past Saturday. I was expecting great quality food based on the previous reviews on this site. My husband got the steak; I got a catfish sandwich. My husband said the steak had no flavor and was the consistency of a rubber band. My catfish sandwich was supposed to be on brioche bread but it just looked like plain white bread to me. I thought the service was great but we will not be returning due to the quality, flavor and presentation of the food.

Only ate here once, but that was enough for me. Although the place looked nice walking in, the space seemed cold and empty. At first we were the only people in the restaurant, yet it still took over 15 minutes for our order to be taken. Waiter/bartender was not very friendly and stood by the bar with arms crossed most of the time. I ordered Chicken and Waffles...chicken was decent but my "Belgian" waffle was basically a untoasted EGGO. My fiance's cheesegrits were top off with some cold pre-grated kraft cheese. Around 1:45pm, someone whom I believed was the owner decided to lock the door, even though there were only 3 couples in restaurant, and continued to pass through dinning area making us feel as though we were uninvited guests. Obviously this did not make us feel very comfortable at all. Very poor first impression, won't eat here again.
