    Nice view overlooking the ocean and harbor, food is ok, nothing spectacular. Mildly overpriced, but expected for a tourist stop.

    I was so excited for their classic lobster roll, but meh. Expensive, no taste and the lobster was over cooked. Shame.

    Overpriced, crap presentation, stale fries, and an hour wait. The only thing worth going for is the stunning view. Sam's can't deliver on the hype.
