Sam’s Place

Over priced… Over rated… fried food. 2 people with Steaks, app and 2 drinks almost $ 100. Give me a break… it’s a dump.

This place is awesome. The greatest staff, quick service, great food and lots of it. The steak is delicious. They hand cut the steaks. The burger is the steak scraps so it’s phenomenal. The chef salad is amazing as well. Love the Mose Hopper after dinner. Great dessert drink. The quality of everything is always great.

If you are looking for a good steak from a dive restaurant, this is the place. The prices might make you think the sides are fancy, but they are not. It was good food and I enjoyed the small town feel to the place, but I also had mixed feelings about the quality of the dinner rolls and side salads. For the price, I would think those two things could pick it up a little. Good place overall and I will be back.

We have been coming back to the Lake James/​Angola, Indiana area for over 35 years. We live in the Bay Area of Northern California. My wife, Rosemary and her two brothers grew up on a farm in Decatur, Ind. Our cousins, George and Jane Gear, treated us to a small town great family experience, SAM’ PLACE. Martin L’s review says it all. We drove about 40 miles on a Friday night. There were eight of us. We were comfortable with the steaks, drinks, and the prices are reasonable. No complaints. Levi P. must have been having a bad night. We will make Sam’s part of our annual vacation.

Way… Overpriced! There is like three things on the menu on the wall. You choose from on and how you like it. It isn’t horrible food, but for the price ($ 40 or so) for a steak, it’s bad. I would skip if I didn’t have to eat there again. But the bar is good, but dining is not that great.

Sam’s is east of Edon, while it may not be the land of milk and honey, if you are looking for a steak in NW Ohio, look no farther. Four generations of the Mohre family have served t-​bones and filets along with their signature hand cut fried potato chips to all who venture into Blakeslee. Sam’s is well worth the detour.
Don’t leave without finishing your meal with a Mose Hopper; a non-​dietary concoction of ice cream and alcohol that maybe the best desert you ever drank, but don’t ask what’s in it. Family secret.
There is no menu. just a piece of card board on the wall. Just order your steak small, medium, large or extra large. On Friday’s they add fried Islandic cod and the first Wednesday of each month Dorthy, the matriarch, returns to the kitchen to preside over prime rib.
Locals fill the booths at lunch when one of the best hand patted burgers you’ll find are served.
Current owner Randy Mohre welcomes all from behind the bar, his sister Mary Sue is repidly moving from table to table making sure everything is to your liking.
Sam’s, a place where you go once and you’re a regular.
