re: Wtf happened to Sammy’s on Highland?!?

I haven’t been to George’s Highland in years but the overpass and Jones Creek were/are absolute dumps. Dust piled in layers on all the décor. Dingy and dark and grimy. Uncomfortable round tables that are too small to fit more than 2 people.
Brewbacchers is far superior to George’s in poboys, burgers, fries, menu, food, cleanliness, comfort, service.

The dinginess of George's is what I love about it 
It is dark, but has never felt dirty to me. Speaking on Highland.
I haven't been to Brewbacher's since it was on Nicholson, but the one on Bluebonnet always looks like it has hoards of children sports teams which I tend to avoid. Granted, George's sometimes gets that too.

Tony and Yen run a pretty tight ship at Southside. Sure it’s a little dingy but that’s George’s.

You do you I guess. I’d take George’s over Brewbachers 10/10 times

Chimes and Sammy's used to get all the top waitress talent.

Sammys in Zachary always had nice college waitresses during the summer. Once summer ended, not so much.

I know I'm in the minority but I never cared for Sammy's, ever. Always felt it was one of the more overrated places in town.
Everything was always so damned salty.

I could not understand why anyone would wait out side for 30min-hour for table.

Back in the day it had hot waitresses, good food , reasonable drink prices. All of that is gone. I think it’s time to sell and rebrand. Maybe put a Willies right there.

I went for the first time in years a couple months ago… there wasn’t any one thing that was horrible, but it definitely wasn’t the same

It’s never been anything but mediocre. Same with George’s

I had georges the other day 2 cheeseburgers, 2 fries and 2 drinks was 45.00 food is not good enough at any location for that price.

Anybody here old enough to remember it was Joe Reed's? Good times
No but I remember when it was Sneakers. I think that was right before Sammys

The appeal of George's
I can get in and out quickly. For a burger and fries its excellent price and taste. Grew up going to Sammy's before it became so popular and I haven't been but maybe once in the last 10 yrs b/c i am not waiting in line for 30-45 min. We loved it before it ever expanded and after first expansion. frick the parking also

Great times...

Same thing is happening at other places too start great or been great and suddenly plummet down hill in suckage. Any one notice that Franks is sliding down fast?

George’s has one of the more reliable Poboy options in BR.
They get Leidenheimer bread twice a week. Don’t think anyone else does that in BR.

My wife and I ate there today. She had a giant salad with steak on it/pepper jelly vinaigrette; I had fried catfish with white beans and rice. It was all very, very good.
