Sammy Crawfish King — Restaurant in Alexandria

I've never had a seafood boil in the south before, and Sammy’s does not disappoint. We came across this place hoping to find something good off-season. Honestly the restaurant itself was nothing special. When we came inside it smelled like it hadn't been cleaned in a while, and the fans on full blast just made it worse. The floor everywhere was drenched, the dining area was dirty, and I struggled to get privacy in the bathroom. We chose to sit outside because of the smell, but something unpleasant was still lingering in the air, probably from all the seafood. The benches under the tent were sticky and full of crumbs so we had to wipe everything down ourselves. The food was awesome though. There were so many combos to choose from on the menu and the serving sizes were enormous. My grandmother who despises shellfish had options to choose from as well. We ordered shrimp, crawfish, snow crab, corn, eggs, sausage and potato as sides to share. All the fish was super juicy and delicious, although the snow crab was a little thin. Eggs were cooked perfectly, soft boiled. The sausage had a satisfying crunch. The sauce was amazing; super spicy and flavorful. We ended up buying more since there definitely wasn't enough to go around. We washed everything down with sodas from the cooler inside, which had many options to choose from. Overall, the place is beat up and could use a bit of cleaning, but the food...

May 2022 Came for the first time--just seen it late on a Sat. evening drive, but this place has allegedly been opened for 3-4 years.

I agree with the other reviews--the sauce is awesome! Dipping anything in that sauce would make it taste like the best thing you ever ate!

Now I know where to go for some seafood if I want it because they will custom an order for you if the platters posted are too much for you to handle.

I don't think this was a good season for crawfish--they were really small compared to last season.

The sausage wasn't the best tasting or quality. The corn didn't seem boiled enough, and the boiled shrimp were very dry.

Custom order is the best way to go. I wonder if I can buy a gallon of...

Worth the wait! I've been waiting for a savory seafood place in Alexandria for a while! This place hits the spot. Seasoned very well not salty not too spicy. (High spice tolerance) The line was to the door and I know why. These guys at Sammy's know what they are doing. Professional, kind, and the food was excellent.

I had the small crab and crawfish platter it comes with 2lbs crawfish one snow crab cluster potatoes and corn and I added egg. My hubby got the 3 lb. Platter and added snow crab. Total we spent less than $55. Early crawfish season that's extremely reasonable.

I highly recommend this place to seafood lovers that like...
