Coziest place to visit during winter time and everyone was very lovely. We ordered the bruschetta and was so good I had flashback of my nonna. And I’m not even Italian. Highly recommend!

A cozy restaurant with incredible food. They were unexpectedly very busy for a Wednesday night and had only one server on but she was fantastic and managed to take very good care of us. I would highly recommend trying this restaurant if you haven't been yet.

My wife and I had a great evening at Sammy’s and we will certainly be back. The food was excellent and our server was very friendly and personable. As far as atmosphere goes, this might also be one of the best “date night” spots in the city. It’s small and cozy with relaxing music and lighting. While the space could benefit from some updating and attention to detail to really standout, it’s a good atmosphere for a nice evening. Reservations are recommended. Support local and add Sammys to your list for your next night out or special occasion!

This is a one chef show with some amazing staff members. It’s a constant go to when you need to make a great impression on in-laws, family, friend or co workers. The prices are amazing and worth every penny. I got the blackened salmon with lobster tail paired with a beautiful creme brûlée trio (chocolate, vanilla and white chocolate) My blue Hawaiian drink was tasty and light to compliment the flavours of my dishes. Check them out if you haven’t you are missing a little gem that’s located Medicine Hat downtown! Why you still reading? Go on call them and book a reservation you will not regret it, one foodie to another go enjoy!

We were a group of five celebrating our Aunts 96th birthday and Sammys was suggested for its quiet and cozy atmosphere, as well as the quality of food and service. It did not disappoint! Everything from appetizers to entrées to dessert was absolutely first class. Sammy has a unique culinary background that allows her to blend different ethnic flavors and techniques to create a one of a kind dining experience. Space is limited and reservations are definitely recommended! This is a true gem for downtown Medicine Hat, with one of the most welcoming and personable hosts you will ever meet. Thanks for making our evening so very special!

Sammy s is a hidden gem for dining in Medicine Hat. The restaurant is small and cozy with a warm atmosphere and a nice old bar along the one wall. All of the staff were very welcoming and friendly and made sure you were having a great dining experience. I had Braised Lamb Shank With white cheddar mash, seasonal vegetables and red wine herb jus. It was nicely presented, prepared excellent and very tasty delicious. My wife had their special which was Salmon Wellington. A puff pastry stuffed with salmon, cream cheese and broccoli served on a bed of rice pilaff. Again it was presented well, the salmon was moist and the vegetables tender. My wife said it was to die for and would definitely have it again. The portions were ample. The staff were fun and attentive and we will definitely be back!

Best East Indian cuisine in town, hands down. Quaint, small restaurant in the heart of downtown Medicine Hat, ample on street parking. Due to the size of the establishment, I would recommend booking a reservation for groups. The portion size of the meal was more than adequate, highly favorable, and the chef was more than willing to accommodate my palate preferences, even visiting our table to ensure the meal was well received. Highly recommend! Dietary restrictions: The dishes are made to order, with multiple selections available.

We ordered take out from Sammys Kitchen and Bar tonight, as we had heard so much about it, and it did not disappoint. We both ordered the 6oz sirloin and the steak was was tender and cooked perfectly. The Caesar salad was what really surprised me, the dressing was definitely from scratch and was one of the best I have had in any restaurant...anywhere. I am excited to try this place again and dine in next time.

The food was amazing and beautifully presented! Sammy is an amazing Chef. Our server Cindy was professional and knowledgeable. She knew the menu, proper wine pairings and was a pure delight. Our town is fortunate to have a place like Sammys. Her creative dishes presented by a well trained front of house team is what Medicine Hat has needed for years. I for one am tired of the generic mediocrity that the big chain restaurants pass off as good quality. Everyone should check this gem out! Help them become the success they deserve to be.

We made reservations for 8, on a Sunday night at the end of a very busy week downtown and yet every single thing we ordered - appetizers, main & dessert was all prepared perfectly and we all were served at the same time. (Drinks, Appetizers, Steak, lobster, pastas, salad & dessert) The flavour & quality of the food was exceptional. Sammy s is now my new recommendation for Medicine Hats locally owned hidden gem. Well done Sammy, Cindy and staff Vegetarian options: The Spinach & Onion Pakora with the mango chutney was an amazing appetizer. Dietary restrictions: I was thrilled to find out that non of the dessert had nuts in the ingredients.
