Great Italian, one time my pop tasted kind of flat and was promptly changed, and took off my bill, never had bad service, have had a couple long wait times but to be expected in a good restaurant on a weekend night. I will continue to go here.

The only thing that I was ever disappointed in was the pretzel bun on the burger, it was too tough for me to bite, into. Love the Samaritos and Sinmaritos. Sinmaritos are made with cinnamon, instead of garlic. Delicious and huge portions.

Samoritos and stromboli were delicious. Tomato/meat sauce super good, however, service was terrible and i spent ages waiting for my bill.

Samaritos were as good as described. However, they were served with a very watery pizza sauce. We always get Ranch dressing for our breadsticks, so, I asked for«ranch». I had to pay extra for it. No restaurant anywhere has asked me to pay for ranch dressing. We ordered a large antipasto for my wife and I to share. It was very skimpy on the meat. And, the grated cheese was almost non-existent. Very disappointing experience.

Couldn’t ask for better service. Food is just mediocre at best. Do not order their pasta fagioli soup. No flavor. Pizza average. Atmosphere outdated Can’t believe it got such a good rating. Has to be the excellent service

We went there last week for my birthday. Awesome baked speghetti and veal parmigiano. And huge helpings had enough for lunch the next day. Never disappointed when we go there. Very good service also.

Wow! Every visit to my parents I drive forty minutes to eat here. The pizza — more than plenty of cheese, a tasty crust, good with custom orders. The Sammaritos are not to be missed. Light and airy with a garlic oily crisp, these airy bread poofs are just amazing. Mouth watering just thinking about it. The pizza has a good tasting crisp but thick crust, meltey high quality tasty cheese, and great toppings. Also has a bar. Never a bad experience here. Friendly service, small and cozy atmosphere, could work for family dinner or an intimate date. Good drinks. My biggest problem here is running out of room in my stomach. Check in — still totally amazing, delicious, charming. Now I want a plate of Sammaritos again…

Great value and tasty. The small Stromboli is huge and the half spaghetti dinner was plenty enough to take some for lunch the next day!

I found this place on Unilocal and stopped in due to all the positive reviews. They were not wrong about this place. While the outside might make you question the wisdom of going inside, one you do you will find a very comfortable restaurant. The service is friendly from the moment you step in. The pizza was wonderful-crust had s good flavor, the cheese was great-not waxy like most places and the sauce was perfect. I prefer old world type pizza and this tastes more like that than the American pizzas you find. The Samaritos are an unexpected delight, not to be missed. Do yourself a favor by stopping in and trying one of their many items, you will not regret it. I will continue to work my way through their menu as everything looks wonderful.

We’ve lived near here for 7 years, and this is the first time I’ve had a chance to try Sam’s. I wish I’d come here sooner… the food and service were fantastic! the kid’s spaghetti was huge, the homemade lasagna was some of the best i’ve ever had, and the pasta carbonara was so big I’ll be enjoying it for another meal. The mini breadsticks(Samorito’s) were awesome — next time we’ll get 2 orders. All in, this is a great restaurant, I just wish I’d come here sooner!

I’ve had just about everything on the menu and it’s all been delicious tonight was an exception. I tried the seafood pasta it was very bland not enough garlic. And our waitress disappeared. I had to ask another waitress to bring me some pepper flakes. Then I had to ask the same waitress if she would get our waitress so I could pay the bill. My advice stick to anything that has the red sauces. Its always been excellent

People are right… it’s a dark, old building but has some of the best food ever! If I could eat here everyday I would.

Do yourself a favor: Come here and have the best stromboli ever. No other place even comes close to competing with my love for a Sam’s stromboli. They pack it with cheese and toppings, leaving the delicious sauce on the side for you to dip into. You are in control of how much sauce you get, catering to the amount you desire with each bite. The dough they use has a great texture to it as well. I love how I take how leftovers, heat it up in my oven and have a meal equal to the one I had at the restaurant. The crust does not get soggy! Pizza is a winner here too. Salads aren’t as generous as some other places are, but it will do. I can’t speak for other foods here. I’m sure they are okay, but I’ve never been tempted to try anything but the stromboli. I have never had great service here. I never go when it is busy, but somehow people that wait on my table seem to disappear for unreasonable amounts of time. This means drinks hardly get refilled, empty plates are not promptly removed, and the bill only gets recieved after we flag someone down. I am never in a rush when I go, and I enjoy the company I am with, so slow service doesn’t disappoint me too much. It’s pretty dim inside the restaurant too. I am always amazed at how it feels like I am walking out of a dark cave when I leave. Try this place if you enjoy a great stromboli!

Found Sams on Unilocal on our way home to Columbus from Traverse City. Totally clean ladies room. Service rocked. Food awesome. Huge variety.

I have been here many times and they don’t have the best service, best pizza, best décor, fastest service, or best quality control. Although, you get a good neighborhood Italian restaurant with an overall good dining experience. I would say for the Flint area there are a only a few restaurants with better traditional style pizza/strombolis and nothing within 5 miles. — Cheap beer — good liquor selection — good traditional style pizza(better than most) — sammoritos are excellent — good strombolis — laid back setting — Excellent pretzel/bread sticks(comes with a garlic cream spread like at the old Parani’s on 3rd) — Family friendly

Excellent food. Excellent service. That’s why we’ll be back. Try the steak and cheese Stromboli w/mushrooms and be sure to get some A-1. Wife still froths at the mouth when her cod is coming towards our table. We’ve never left this place dissatisfied. Don’t worry about the old building and the parking lot that was put in around 1955. Just get in here.

Went with the family last night for some fun and good food. That is exactly what we got! Items of note: *** 10 people(including 2 children who split a meal) — the bill came to $ 140.00 including tip! Wow! Fantastic pricing and huge portions. Everyone took some home. *** Most of the food was excellent, the seafood pasta was not so good but by no means bad either. You must try the samarito’s, they are so darned good. Little puffs of pizza dough fried I think but they are so light and delicious I couldn’t really tell how they are prepared, very good. *** We did have to wait about 15 minutes but that is okay since there were so many of us. *** Service was fast and friendly but lacked efficiency. We kept having to ask for the basics like plates for the appetizers, silverware, napkins etc. a minor annoyance but the waitress was super sweet so you couldn’t get mad. *** The building is in dire need of updating as it is currently looks but isn’t dirty just late 70’s dark and well frankly ugly. The chairs, tables and booths were probably purchased in 1972 and show the wear. The parking lot is full of deep ruts and broken asphalt. *** Very kid friendly! The little ones drinks came in cups with straws even when we asked for water for them, that was a super nice touch.

My family ate at Sam’s last week for the first time. The food was excellent and very affordable. The beer selection could use a little help, but it isn’t bad for such a small place. They seem to feature local wines(we didn’t have any). The décor could really use an update, but it’s fine for a place for the whole family to go get some good eats. The place seemed pretty kid friendly except for one minor issue: our server seemed a little confused/concerned that our 7 year old daughter had a special order the deviated from the standard kids menu — she wanted the Alfredo, but with penne noodles instead of fettuccine. The waitress acted like she needed to get permission from the kitchen for that and it might be a problem(I told her I didn’t care if it cost extra or even if I had to pay the adult prices). The kitchen was able to comply with my daughter’s request, but I really don’t see how it should have even been a concern. Perhaps she was having a bad day. Either way, we’ll be back to try it again. The food was great, the beer was cold, and the bill didn’t make me cry.
