Texas Monthly, we’re so glad you stopped by!

In addition to our endless buffet and dessert options, we’ve got a full menu of fresh-cooked meals available! So whether you come with a large appetite and want to try everything, or just need a small bite to eat, we’ve got you covered!

Loading up your plate requires some hard decisions at Sam's, which first opened in 1952 in Fairfield and serves brisket, chicken-fried steak, and more to hungry Interstate 45 travelers and locals alike.
