Reviews for Sam's of Gedney Way in White Plains, NY
Just had our 50th anniversary party on the patio and could not be happier with the food and the service. Every dish from... appetizer to dessert was presented well and delicious. The staff was friendly and attentive. All our guests said how much theyenjoyed the venue. Planning was easy and they accommodated several dietary needs such as vegan. Read more
We just had my daughter’s baby shower yesterday and I must say the food was excellent and service was great. Bad at names but... I think Gina was our waitress and did a phenomenal job. Everyone had a great time. Would highly recommend Sam’s and can’twait to go back for dinner. Thank you Sam’s for making our day special. Read more
This place had better days for sure. It declined big time. Everything from the tables that lost their white tablecloth, to the... extremely slow service to the food. Everything we had was bland and less than mediocre. Lacking seasoning, and presentation.Even the dessert menu that we thought would be the savior of the night changed. None of the classic delicious desserts. Very sadand disappointing. Not returning. The seated us in a corner and most likely forgot about us there, because we saw how the othertables had frequent servers and water refills and bread baskets while we had none of that. This is one of my previous visitsreview: We had dinner there for the first time. It was a group event. We enjoyed the service and the food so much. Waiters arevery attentive and friendly. Food variety we found to be limited. We didn't like any of the desserts we ordered though. My dishwas a special a grilled Mahi Mahi which was so delicious with asparagus and cherry tomatoes and green salad with watermelonvinaigrette, honestly one of the best fish dishes I've ever had. Bathroom is very clean and neat. Parking can be tricky,although they have on-site parking lot, but it was a weekday and full. Overall very positive experience. Will definitely comeback again. I recommend reservation because it is very busy and I saw people turned away because the place was full and theyonly had space for reservations. Reserve a table and give it a try, hopefully they surve the same Mahi Mahi that day! And thedrinks are great too! Read more
Hidden Gem of White Plains! The food was amazing. The staff was so friendly and eager to answer questions. The chef's skills... are top notch. Below are two examples of appetizers. Substitution and special requests are no problem here. Read more
Sam’s of Gedney Way is unique in many ways. The owner, Peter Herrero is always present, welcoming guests, making sure everyone... is enjoying their meals. The service staff have all worked there for many years and clearly take pride in the quality of thefood that they serve. When you look around at the other guests, they range from professionals in their twenties to folks whomight be retired, but everyone seems to be returning customers ( like us)! For the last few months, Sam’s had been offeringTakeout meals but they are now serving dinner on their open air terrace and they have created a BBQ restaurant in their parkinglot complete with live music Wednesdays through Sundays . All the waiters are masked and gloved but most importantly, the foodat Sam’s of Gedney Way is consistently excellent! My wife and I often split their Samburger and a salad and we always leavehappy. Last year my wife arranged for a surprise birthday party for me and the food was superb! And last night, I booked areservation using Open Table and under special requests, asked for a slice of cake for my wife’s birthday. I wasn’t sure ifthey’d read the note but instead of gettingnour bill, the waiter brought out a beautifully decorated cake with a lit candle.It really was a perfect way to celebrate and the price was right!

Absolutely Perfect! Event: Baby Shower Area: Heated Patio Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Value: 10/10 We had our Baby Shower at... Sam's last month and the guests were equally impressed by the food as well as the venue and service. Steve and Ron made sure thegirls were well taken care of. Glasses were always full, food was served in an organized and professional manner and they gotthem anything they needed and went over and beyond expectations. The service did not feel rushed and the patio was secludedenough to be quiet from the restaurant. I would certainly recommend Sam's of Gedney Way for your next event. Read more
I hosted a Bridal Shower Brunch at Sam's of Gender Way and I had an amazing experience from planning to day of. I called around... to a few venues for details about this bridal shower and they were the most transparent and clear about the entire cost, theminimums for each room, and what the brunch service would entail. Once I was ready to book with them, putting down a depositand reserving the time was the easiest thing ever. I worked with Karen to arrange the event. She took note of the foodrestrictions I knew of, and told me to call back if I found out anything else. As the date got closer, I'll admit, my Type-Aself got a little paranoid that something was going to go wrong because it was *too easy* to work with them. My day jobinvolves events, so I'm used to restaurants losing little details here and there. I finally called up to double-checkeverything, and Karen let me know all the information they had down--which was completely correct and I felt at ease. On theday of, they let my friends in early to decorate, but the patio area was already beautifully decorated with paper lanterns andflowers. We really only added the touches that literally said "Bridal Shower" because everything else was so beautiful (seephotos). Once the event began, Alberto took care of us. He paid special attention to the bride, but we were all surprised thatwith just one waiter, our 30 mimosa glasses were never empty. We did a family-style brunch and each tray had plenty offood. Alberto checked in with me multiple times during the event to make sure everything was okay. After the party was over,multiple members of my family remarked that we should do future events like this here. It was my family's first experience atSam's, and we were beyond impressed. The service was excellent, the attention to detail was great, and the price-for-valueratio was amazing. I completely recommend Sam's for private events--and request Alberto! Read more
Sam's has been a familiar lunch and dinner spot on Gedney for many years. I had kind of stopped dining out much during the worst... of the pandemic, and upon returning to Sam's, was very pleasantly surprised by all the changes and renovations that hadoccurred. They managed to preserve what was great about the old Sam's, but provide meaningful upgrades in every respect. Theinterior and outdoor patio area have been beautifully renovated. The menu retains many traditional favorites, but also offers anabundance of new and inspired dishes. The atmosphere is comfortable enough to just pop in for a bite, yet elegant enough to alsoserve as destination for a special occasion or family gathering. In fact, Sam's has become a go to destination when friends andfamily visit; the service is great, and the way they effortlessly accommodate vegan or gluten free requests is especiallyappreciated. We've enjoyed several wonderful lunches and dinners there in recent months, and eagerly look forward to our nextvisit! Read more
