Sammy's Smokehouse
Bronx
Sammy's Smokehouse on City Island serves a unique combination of Texas-style smoked barbecue and fresh seafood. Featured favorites include tender brisket, fall-off-the-bone dino ribs, blueberry cornbread, chili, and colossal platters loaded with Maine lobster, crab legs, and fried shrimp. While the smoked meats and seafood receive heavy praise, standard sides like the mac & cheese are considered less impressive.
Viewer feedback is mixed, with several long-time patrons praising the restaurant for maintaining high quality over the decades and expressing excitement to visit. However, some negative feedback emerged with a commenter strongly disliking the food and calling it unappetizing.
