    We have dined at Sam Sneads many times over the years. When I arrived with my family,I was informed there was a new menu. We have always been able to ask for the lunch menu in addition to the dinner menu, since some items were not available on both. We were told this is no longer an option. In addition the new dinner menu now had in my opinion limited selections missing many favorites. The new prices were in our opinion way over the top for what we were served. The waiter tried to explain to us the rational for the changes, but Sams is not worthy of their new prices. We have no intention of returning to what we considered a "GO TO " restaurant.

    Hi Robert, thank you for your feedback and for being a longtime guest. We're sorry to hear your recent visit didn't meet expectations. As we enter the off-season, we've had to temporarily streamline the menu to reduce waste and maintain quality. Pricing was also updated to reflect increased food costs after long period without changes. We understand these adjustments may be disappointing, especially if you had past favorites. We truly value your support over the years and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future.

    Sam Sneads has revised their dinner menu. Gone is Crab Cakes and Chicken Quesadillas. Happy Hour reduced price drinks are also gone. This was a dumb management decision. Last year Scallops disappeared and a credit card 3% surcharge added. The food was excellent as was the service. However, this restaurant is way too expensive now. Not sure how they plan to survive the off season. There are more reasonable alternative places to dine.

    Hi Robert, thank you for sharing your thoughts. We understand that changes to the menu and Happy Hour offerings can be disappointing. Seasonal adjustments are necessary during slower months, but our goal remains to offer quality and value. Happy Hour still features 50% off well drinks and house wines, plus expanded food options and discounts on all other alcoholic beverages. We're glad to hear the food and service were excellent and we hope to welcome you back in the future.

    We were so disappointed to see that the entire menu, along with the time and location for happy hour, have changed, from 2-7 to 3-6 and only in the bar area. Many of our favorites, including the chips with guacamole and the oak grilled chicken are no longer on the menu. This restaurant has been one of our go-to’s for the last several years. That said, our server, Austin, was excellent!

    Dear Steve and Jayne, thank you for sharing your feedback about our recent changes. We appreciate your loyalty to our restaurant over the years and understand that adjustments can be disappointing. We're excited about our new and improved happy hour, offering more items and discounts, even if it's in a more focused format. Our menu adjustments are aimed at optimizing our offerings for the upcoming slow summer days. Thank you for letting us know about the dishes you miss. We'll keep those in mind as we plan for future menu updates before the next season. We're glad to hear Austin provided excellent service! We'll be sure to pass that along. Thank you again, and we hope to see you soon!

    Sam Snead's is always a great place to go to for good food and great ambience. This evening did not disappoint. In fact, it was especially enjoyable with our server, Aldo. He is a gem, added to the class of the restaurant. Our food was cooked well and hot when it arrived, which doesn't always happen elsewhere. One of our diners had food allergies and Aldo made sure the diner was attended to expertly! We thank him and the chef for that. Great evening. Thank you, as always, we will be back!

    Another wonderful time at Sam Snead's! We were a party of 5 and four of us had the Fish and Chips. They were excellent! I've tried F&C's many places in SWFL and Sam's are the best I've had. The other member of our party had the Cheeseburger and said it was great! We always look forward to returning. It's a lovely venue with great golf course views and consistently wonderful food and service. Ask for either Mandy or Aldo for a wonderful service experience.

    We had a large group (14) and the kitchen did a great job of getting everyone’s food out at the same time, well prepared and hot. Kudos. Disappointed that the restaurant (like many others) has added a 3% service charge to use a credit card in addition to menu price increases. Not sure but I don’t think it costs restaurants 3% to process visa and Mastercard payments so seems like they’re taking advantage of their customers. Will just have to carry more cash these days I guess.

    3 of us had Chicken Madeira and the flavor was great as usual but the chicken was tough and chewy. Even hard to cut . Usually good but not this night. Sorry
