Overall the is a terrific seafood restaurant. Mahi is great. Shrimp are terrific. Oysters are always fresh. Side dishes are great. Love the creamy cheese grits and southern style green beans. But we eat at Sam's on Wednesday's when they bring crab legs to your table until you are ready to burst. Served with authentic butter melted to perfection, it is gourmet heavan. Servers are the best in Jacksonville. Everyone is happy, and they treat you like a favorite relative popping in for dinner. Just plan to take off from work early and arrive at 5:00; otherwise you will be stuck waiting in line.

• Pros: Great seafood - crab legs are terrific
• Cons: Not much choice for dessert

YOU CAN TELL IT'S GOING TO BE GOOD BY THE LINE OUT THE FRONT DOOR. BUT DON'T LET IT FOOL YOU, THEY GET YOU IN QUICKLY!! The service has always been very personable and quick. There's something for everyone. To start off with, I like their Blooming onion. It is a breaded deep fried onion served with a special sauce that is yummy. I personally love the lightly blackened, grilled mahi, salmon, or grouper. They're grilled without drying them out and with a light amount of blackening seasoning and lemon butter. Somethimes I get the fried shrimp and it is delicious also. I think that's what they're known for...their fried food. It is really light, not heavy. They say it's because they fry in peanut oil and bread very lightly. The hush puppies are sweet and have onions in them. They make their cole-slaw home made. Their cheese grits are creamy and very flavorful. Not every time, but when I can I will get a piece of their homemade penut butter pie. Yum-Yum. It's one of my favorite places to eat!

• Pros: Delicious Food, Fast Service, Family Restaurant
• Cons: Alittle small for Very Large Parties
