Wandered upon this place on accident with my family and I can say without a doubt that it’s one of the best burgers I’ve ever eaten. It was very savory and had a perfect portion size. In addition, the customer service was great. Our server Jeremy seemed very attentive and took care of any needs right away. The atmosphere is very calm and peaceful and would be perfect for a date night.

While visiting Huntsville, TX I stopped in at Sam’s Table for some lunch. This place is one of those “Hidden Gems”…a diverse menu ranging from Tapas, Costa Rica, and American creations. I decided to try their Costa Rican Seafood plate from the main menu Appetizer/Tapas section and added a side of rice and some tortillas. I tried a Lucky 19 Bearkat Blonde ale…this is a really great beer, crisp palate, and went well with the fish plate I ordered. This seafood dish is absolutely incredible…a mix of shrimp, mussel, clams, baby shrimp, and chopped octopus. The flavors are so good and the rice complemented the dish very well. Even though this was an appetizer…it was a wonderful lunch option. This is a historical location with a beautiful patio out back and an extensive wine list. I met the owner/chef Diego Varela and told him I was very impressed with the food and service received there. Exceptional food and the service from Desiree was attentive and friendly!

We were so disappointed after reading so many good reviews. We had an early dinner (going to Old Town for a show)-it took several minutes before anyone approached to seat us. The only saving grace was our steaks were delicious and cooked to perfection, our iced tea arrived with max 2 ice cubes, when our order finally arrived, the salad was served with our entree-I had blue cheese dressing that was disgusting, the mashed potatoes were lumpy and seemed to be yesterdays. Our waiter only checked on us once right after our food came, so I hadn’t even tasted my salad dressing. Also, when our food finally arrived, my wife asked for pepper sauce for both of us-we had forgotten to request when we ordered (but the waiter never asked either), when the sauce finally arrived, it was garlic butter sauce-by then we gave up and just ate it. My side of the table was sticky and we both noticed that both of our tea glasses were filmy (gross). We did not ask for a manager because it took so long to get our check, we didn’t want to wait anymore-in spite of the poor service, we still left our server 15%. Sorry to say, it was our first and last visit.

Delicious! I enjoyed my pasta so much at lunch that I returned for drinks with boyfriend in the evening. Sit on the patio if the weather permits, it’s so cozy and cute!

Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere at Sam’s Table. The Costa Rican chicken tacos and rice were very well done. Their selection of Chardonnay was delicious and paired very well with my meal. To top it off, we enjoyed some beautiful live piano music throughout the course of our meal. Highly recommended.

I came here a year ago and thought it was great. Tonight, for our anniversary, it was a disappointment. The food was pretty good, but the service was disappointing . My wife ordered pasta with shrimp, and they forgot the shrimp, no big deal. I asked our waitress to bring the shrimp. I had to ask her again if she would bring the shrimp before we finished our meal. Then she brought 3 shrimp on a plate. We were literally the only customers in the restaurant.

My mom and I just came to lunch here for the first time yesterday and it was great! She had the spaghetti lunch special and I had the Casada (I am so sorry if I am misspelling that but it was the typical Costa Rican lunch) along with the bruschetta for an app. The food was fabulous and those fried plantains were literally to die for!!! The service was excellent and the owner was very friendly! He came and checked on my mom and I and asked if everything was to our liking as well as introducing himself. Our drinks never sat empty and we were seated very fast.

We stopped in for a late lunch and was seated quickly as there was nearly empty being after 2:30. Waiter was friendly and helpful and attentive. We ordered Panni sandwiches, me the chicken and hubby had the salmon. Both came with fries and a spicy garlic aioli sauce. It was served warm and both were very good. We sat outside and had their unsweetened ice tea and after I had their Costa Rican coffee.

I used to come here a lot, for the good prices and good food. However, the last time I came here was last semester, which implies they have reduced their portions dramatically despite raising the price. I ordered two fries, two burgers today. All of a sudden, the burgers were sliced in half, which was just an incompetent attempt to hide the fact that the burger’s size was reduced by 25-33.3%. The portion of fries I received was atleast half, if not less than the portion I used to receive for each burger. The portion of sauce cups, which is an independent charge may I remind you, also was halved despite an increased price. Considering inflation, these new portions for prices is absolutely inexcusable in stark contrast to what this place was less than half a year ago last semester. Do not come here, the prices for food used to be great, yet have become ridiculously expensive in less than a semester. When I said I wasn’t paying more for about 40% less food after seeing the portions decline that dramatically in one summer, the waiter become extremely offended, instead of apologizes, which is an international foodservice standard no matter what, I received nothing but insults. I walked away immediately, not paying, but not touching my food. In one summer, this place has gone from comparatively generous portions of excellent quality food and comparatively generous prices, to terrible portions for increased prices. Why would I ever come back here? I consider it a tragedy really, I mourn the fact I cannot come back here and not get completely scammed, because this place used to be so great. I remember the days of getting about 9 ounces of beef with vegetables in a delicious burger, with a generous serving of fries, sauce cups completely filled. Now, it’s maybe 6 ounces maximum although maybe 4-5, serving of fries halved, amount of sauce in every cup halved, for about two dollars more. Inflation hasn’t been that bad, completely inexcusable, wouldn’t be surprised if this was the fault of some new management, especially seeing so many new faces on the wait staff. I never expected a terrible offensive waiter from this place until my last visit.

During my time in town, I ate my lunches and dinners at Sam’s Table restaurant. The food is exquisite, the customer service was excellent, you have to try the paninis, the papa’s a la brava, the calamari. The atmosphere, congratulations to the owner
