Cause then you need even more workers there to shuck oysters all day. I think they're doing just fine without it.

And people saying Sammy's is terrible, Lol wtf?

it isn't terrible. but its whispered in the breath of BR people like its the fricking Valhalla of dining. Like it deserves a Michelin Star for its fine cuisine. It's a regular arse restaurant with average food and a bunch of college chicks in nike shorts/khaki shorts waiting tables.

They serve crawfish all year round mostly. Big fricking deal.

Well, you have to look at what they are comparing it too.

that isn't hard to beat. very few self respecting people with any knowledge of food will dine at these places.

No, it's just a good casual restaurant. If someone is trying to say that it's fine dining then they are as far off in one direction as someone saying it's terrible is in the other, in my opinion.

I wouldn't either... but there aren't many places I would, too many good alternatives even in BR to wait an hour for a table.

Damn this thread is full of uppity tards. To call Sammy's average is ridiculous. Is it freaking Dicky Brennan's? Of course not. It's a bar & grill style restaurant and they are great at what they do. And they do a great job with dine-in crawfish...probably one of the best in Baton Rouge.
