Sam's is always good service, hot and fresh food at a reasonable price. I love their chicken fried steak and salad bar. The desserts are always very fresh and tempting. We even sampled their gift shop and have been very pleased with their brumate coolers, but it appears on our last trip they are sold out.

This is one of those places that you must make a stop at, at least once if you are in Fairfield. We decided to do the breakfast buffet. They have plenty of fruit to start your meal with. The breakfast buffet consists of scrambled eggs, grits, breakfast potatoes, ham, bacon, sausage, chicken fried steak, pancakes, muffins and probably more that I didn't see. You don't leave hungry! They also have a store located as you enter the restaurant.

Great spot to stop and charge car and grab food. There are electrify America hyper fast charging stations available in the lot. The food was great and while I wasn't hungry enough for the buffet it looked good. The bbq beef sandwich and onion rings were great and very big portions for the prices. Service was friendly and quick as well.

Sam's Original Restaurant is the hidden gem every Texan wants to find! My friend Jeff recommended Sam's as we were driving back from a road trip to an A&M game. Little did I know I would have one of the best American buffets in Texas! The food was wonderfully made, delicious to the bone, and packed with flavor. The salad bar was freshly prepared; I loved how they also served fresh fruit to go along with it! The service was a prime example of Southern hospitality - every single waitress so kind and greeted us with a gentle demeanor. The desserts you were definitely the best part of the buffet. There was a variety of pies, peach cobbler, and ice cream. My personal favorite was the Coconut Crean Pie - it was astronomically delicious 😋 Sam's was a wonderful conclusion to our trip! I recommend everyone traveling along I-45 to try it at least once in their lifetimes!

Excellent buffet. Loved the bbq roast and smoked sausage. Delicious. The pies were so so, not bad just not show stoppers. The Mac and cheese was so creamy and tasty. For the price I think it's a great deal and worth the stop.
