Sam's Southern Eatery Wichita Central — Restaurant in Wichita

I came in on a Friday night around 6pm. I was alone and there were a few tables with groups. I was told as I walked to counter that I could have a seat at any open clean table. I sat and began to look at a menu as my server( the only person running the front of the restaurant) bounced around and asked me for a drink in a respectable time. I ordered a coke( everything is in a can other than water bottles). He came back with the soda, didn't ask if I wanted ice or a cup. He then had an order pop up for another table , and he excused himself. He took my order after, a 3 shrimp, 3 fish, 3 chicken, fried with green beans and red beans with rice. I waiting around 20 minutes for my food. I would assume it was because I ordered all fried as people who came in after me got their food rather quickly comparatively. They did order grilled items. The red beans and rice were amazing. As was the fish. Perfectly breaded, juicy, hot and filling. The shrimp were equally amazing. Great size and not rubbery. The chicken straps were a little on the smaller side, but all and all a great dinner. If you have to go to the bathroom, you need to go through a door into the restaurant it's attached to. So prepare for the change in ambiance. All in all I enjoyed my dinner and will be giving them some business when I want fish on the west...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Sam's Southern Eatery, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! The moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy atmosphere that felt like home.

The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who made sure our glasses were always full and our plates were never empty.

But the real star of the show was the food, oh the glorious food! I ordered the fried chicken, and it was hands-down the best I've ever had. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and full of flavor. The sides were equally impressive, especially the creamy mac and cheese.

Overall, I highly recommend Sam's Southern Eatery to anyone craving authentic Southern cuisine. The prices are reasonable, the portions are generous, and the quality is exceptional. Can't wait to come back and try more...

Stopped by on a Friday for lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of service and food. I’ve been looking for a place in Wichita to get my fried fish fix and I think I’ve found it! I went with the 3 fish combo with cole slaw and green beans. The fish, battered in a cornmeal breading, was amazing. Just a slight hint of spice and it had an ideal ratio of breading to fish. Both sides also delivered. I absolutely love pairing fried fish with cole slaw (IYKYK) so the cole slaw needs to be excellent and it was. I ordered along with 4 others and our meals arrived within 10 minutes so the service gets 5 stars as well. Prices are reasonable considering the portions are...
