Well I had a chance to go to Sams Boat in the fountains in Stafford Texas...so I read the reviews first....should of been a warning...got chips and salsa for starters...I have never had chips as greasy as these...twice...I am sure there is a laughing cook somewhere.....and then I moved to the 9 dollar salad....swimming in water in the bottom...one piece of rock hard bread came with it....had to beg for seconds on the tea......I think this is a place to drink not eat...after you are drunk all food taste good...but to go sober is very disappointing...will never return....not to mention the super slow service...the grilled chicken looked good but not worth $12.95...No more for me...you got my money once but not again....they really need to work on the food part Pros: GOOD ICE TEA Cons: FOOD!! more

Ok, the service was the worst can'teven hear yourself think. They had the tv blasted so you couldn't even talk to the person next to you. You had to scream at the waitress so they can here your order. Then end up with the wrong food was bland and not enough food for the price. Just bad!! I have been to a lot of rest rants and by far the worst. Oh, and when you ask for manager they NEVER come. I had to ask 4 different times and still no mrg! I will never go there again. Ever,ever!""You say ever.ever""? Never ever!!! more

Went in on a Wednesday one dollar well night and it was awesome. Been in there almost every day since. Just hired a really quick and friendly bartender a few days ago. Great service and definately NOT a waste of money. Food is awesome and the crawfish is delicious. Always at least 3 bartenders at 3 different bars out of the 5 bars that they have. Never had any problems getting a drink or food on time. Weekends are pretty crazy, but who cares it's the weekend! See you soon! and who really thinks you can get shrimp for 35 cents a pound. lol. Pros: everything Cons: maybe parking but that's all more

If you are not of European descent or are of the lighter persuasion, please do not expect any type of civilized service, or even if you are, you may not be treated well. The bartenders ignore you when you have clearly been there waiting longer than others.....and if you speak to the manager, PETE, he is very unprofessional and rude and does not take your complaints seriously. He approaches you with an attitude and you can instantly tell he is not concerned with the customer's satisfaction but rather his fellow employees' impression of him. It is apparent when you ask the unsatisfactory bar tenders, JD and Deanne to speak with their manager and they are more than happy to direct you to their less than professional buddy/manager PETE who dismisses your concerns with much attitude. We asked if Sam's Boat was a member of the better bb and got an eye roll and a shrug of the shoulders from PETE the manager. Please do not waste your money on a very prejudice and unprofessional business when there are plenty of other choices in Houston. Cons: Slow service, prejudice rude, lax unprofessional mangagement more

If you go there just be careful, the food will harm you and so will their loyal regular patrons after 9p.m. Cons: Deathwish more

\r I don't know what peoples problem with the boat are, it's not overly crowded like baker street, you can have a conversation there without having to scream like at baker st. The drinks are cheaper than Baker st. The food is good its not 5 star but it's good. Service I personally think is average at best but that's way better than baker st. Haha I don't know if this is a review for SAMs boat or a bash on baker st but take it for what it is I guess more

Not yiour neighboorhood friendly bar they will harrass you , then call the cops to get you locked because thats what they like doing , NOT THE PL:ACE TO GO if you want a clean record, Go to Baker Street or Berry Hill for a GOOD TIME NOT HERE .. Pros: iTS OFF THE HIGHWAY Cons: They will Press Unfounded Charges on you more

The oysters looked like they had been cracked open a week prior and left in a mop closet, and they tasted and smelled of ship channel bilge water. The shrimp hadn't been anything close to clean before being cooked, and the etoufee from which I ate them looked and tasted like a frothy upchuck of rotted bell peppers, and the piece of bread served on top was as old as the oysters. The fries were alright, as were the buffalo wings. Of course, if you have no respect for yourself, what you eat, or what kind of scenery in which you try to relax, this is the place to go -- just don't forget the air sickness bags for once you peel out onto the highway. more

The service is Terrible! If & when you can attract a waitress, they take forever to bring your drink order. (better off going to the bar and getting your own). Your food order, if they don't lose it, is likely to be wrong. Also, be sure to pay as you go; if you run a tab, and if you leave before the others in your party, you're likely to find the last person at the table stuck with EVERYONE's tab, even if they paid before leaving. I told the manager that we would not be back. The first time we were there, we were double charged. This time, the order was incorrect, the service was abominable, and even the manager was a waste of time. We were there both times for good-bye parties for friends changing jobs.\r more

They must not do background checks for their staff or checking of having a mental history! This place was once was on my list of places to eat and drink but when the employed Bouncer got rough and pushed me out the establishment for no good reason only because from what I understand is they made last call at closing and i didn't hear the call and was writing down a phone number of a really kool chick that i had met while enjoying myself that night and was violently attacked by this ""A"" hole who evidently was over stepping his employed purpose for this company and I never received an apology for being roughed up for no good reason what so ever from this really big guy!\r And still to this day Sam's Boat I will never forget or forgive what you put me through that night with your staff's poor judgment with the job given to ?him? by y?all! more

As one of my other posts for the Richmond Sam's Boat mentioned, Sam's Boat used to be THE place to be at whether it was a Tuesday night or Sunday afternoon. Then they opened the one in SL and so most of the lame Sugar Land suburbia crowd (you know old white guys who talk about golf all day while showing off their vettes to 18 year old waitresses) started going to the SL location. Soon more patio bars opened and Richmond kind of died and so Sam's Boat just became another watered down patio bar with a lame cover band. \r \r The only reason why I went to Sam's boat last weekend was because I was meeting some Missouri City friends there and either they don't know any better or they just like being around fellow suburbanites who have lived in their parents' house all their lives but I don't see what the big deal is about this place. Sure the fake lake overlooking the interstate looks nice but it's just a bar. *yawn*. \r Pros: Parking is plentyful unlike the Richmond location Cons: Lame and boring suburban crowd. Come on guys, drive past the beltway now and then more

Several friends and I had lunch at Sam's Boat in the Fountains recently. After ordering the seafood gumbo and eating more than half, I found a small piece of wire in it. After telling the waitress and showing her the wire she wasn't very concerned. I asked for the manager and she also wasn't concerned and a little abrupt with us. We're people in age ranging from 30's to 40's, not teens trying to cause trouble. The manager didn't even say ""I'm sorry"". I won't be going back there along with the people that were with me. Bad service, bad management. The appetizers we orderd before the incident were also overcooked. Pros: drinks Cons: food more

WOW! I dig this palce! My girlfriends and I had a blast on Sunday! Kristian the manager is a tall drink of water! Awesome gumbo and crab cakes with yes....CRAB! I hate cakes that are all breading $2 frozen rita's all day! I just moved here from San Antonio and I have found my new spot! The fountains and deck are second to none. Only one band thing, the band was too loud for us but Mr Kristian fixed it and made them turn it down! Great seafood! Great drinks! Sam...I'm sold! See ya next week! more

The service was absolutely rude. We had to go to the bar and get our own drinks! BAD! more

This is the place on Thursday...ROCK THE BOAT. Outstanding drink special...ask your server about buying the glass, you can bring it back every Thur. for cheap refills. Weather permitting, there is a band outside and dj inside, if it rains oh well bring the bands inside. Sat. and Sun. bring your Margaritaville t-shirt and hang out on the patio. Mon. is karaoke night...say hi to Donavan he is the funniest karaoke dj! Tues is $2 (ALMOST everything) you call it! Attractive staff girls and guys! They remember you and your drink after 2 or 3 visits. Pros: Relaxed, Fun for groups, Prices Cons: , Food more

Great tropical atmosphere just like a Cancun cabana bar, decent friendly service, great bar, Whats the problem? THE FOOD! Come on guys, this may fly in the midwest but in a costal city like Houston we expect freash seafood FROM THE GULF! not frozen crap from the East coast, We expect fresh from the kitchen gumbo, not something from a can. Its a shame that all that planning went into the decore without giving a second thought to the menu. Pros: atmosphrere, great bar, great social place Cons: FOOD, FOOD, FOOD more

This is a great place to meet friends, sit out on the deck and enjoy the weather, but the food is something that you can not count on. I don't recommend the stuffed jalapenos for the appetizer, there wasn't any stuffing - very dry. Oh, and don't bother trying to find any service personnel on the deck, get up and get your own. more
