Sgt Sams was a dine in restaurant but due to zoning restrictions it has now shifted to only doing home delivery.
Nevertheless, their great food is still available and if you live within their delivery zone you don't even need to leave your home to have it!
The best way to simply describe Sgt Sams is to say that they do comfort food at its best.
If you like ribs, flame grilled chicken, buffalo chicken wings, burgers and rich decadent desserts then this is your place to order from. The food is certainly great and even though you can't enjoy eating it there any more you can still at least order it for home delivery.
Our first entree of the night - from the starter or bucket section - was an old favourite of salt and pepper calamari.Described as crispy calamari in a light tapioca batter served with smoked chipotle aioli, it certainly lived up to its description.
The calamari was light, juicy and tender and the quantity was generous.
We then moved on to our second starter of spicy buffalo chicken wings.It was an interesting option as you get the choice of either Louisiana or BBQ sauce and also side dips of blue cheese and creamy ranch dressing.
These were sensational.
The rich tangy wonderful sauce was amazing and the wings were so tender and juicy.
The quantity was really good too - we were starting to get full after only having the entrees!
Sgt Sams has a wide variety of dishes available but their ribs are possibly their signature dish. There are several rib options available - pork or beef and half or full servings, I had the Sam’s “fall off the bone” BBQ beef ribs. I had a choice of their legendary BBQ basting or chilli-BBQ basting and chose the latter. These were exceptional - I could eat them all day! True to their word the meat did fall off the bone - it was that tender! The sauce was again great too!
Mlady was again the more responsible one and decided on the grilled chicken salad thinking this would be lighter. It turned out to be a huge serving again - they don't leave you hungry here!The salad came with tomato, cucumber, olives, onion, avocado, feta, cos lettuce and rocket and a generous serving of grilled chicken tenderloins.
She also added a char grilled corn on the cob which tasted as good as it looked!
We were bulging at this stage but just had to try their desserts.We foolishly chose one each not realising that they were sharing sized! Mlady had the warm sticky date pudding with butterscotch sauce and vanilla ice cream.
Wow - it was huge and delicious. This could seriously feed two or three people!
I chose the ice cream block with salted caramel, chocolate and pecans that was served with Belgian chocolate.The chocolate was melted and when I poured it over the ice cream it set to a lovely rich crust.
Again this dessert could have fed a few people and again it was absolutely delicious.
Sgt Sams does a great job serving - or now delivering - indulgently delicious comfort food. They now only do home deliveries but it's something that people in their delivery area should certainly use. It's great food!
Sir and Mlady dined as guests of Sgt Sams. Special thanks to everyone at Sgt Sams for looking after us so well on the night and to Jai Evans of Evans Media for arranging our visit.
