Review Sam's Beach Shack - Calangute

Beautiful place. The music was amazing! The place is filled with such an energetic crowd and we made many new friends! Would’ve given a 5 star but mood was spoiled a bit when the bartender said he won’t be giving out the free drinks anymore even though it was unlimited drinks for the ladies! Anyway good place to enjoy with your gang!

We ordered breakfast dishes and the taste was good. The ambience is good. Service is a bit slow. This needs an improvement. Price is exorbitant. The taste was good. Overall a good place to enjoy food with a sea view and breeze.

Good place to go only if you want to beer and chill with loud music and relax. Food is average and can definitely improve. The service needs a huge improvement. I asked for an ashtray and the waiter rudely replied to contact the waiter who was attending my table. Also the food takes a lot of time to arrive at your table. The decor and ambiance is really good at night, feels very photogenic and lively.

Very nice shack at Baga, very loud and good dancing music that attracts everyone there. Overall ambiance was nice (evening and night time). Food was also good but it was taking lot of time for food to arrive (even simple additional rotis took good > 20 mins). Service can be improved. But overall good place to hang out and disco.

Nice Place for Nonveg and Veg food. Many varieties. Ambience is nice. They have Dance floor. Washrooms are clean. Staff is helpful. Service was fast. Food quality is very good.

Jan 1 - 2023 It's a perfect beach shack with a wonderful view...nd Sam's Beach shack gives a nice mood with Good music with a house DJ.

Till now this shack is the expensive one as compared to other shacks in Baga/Calangute area.

One of the busiest and famous beach of north goa, you can explore the beach vibes, shacks & bars and also you can enjoy the water sports you love. There are a plenty of shops if you like shopping. Didn't try much food here. But the few I tried were very good.Just beer and chill🍻

Sam's Beach is a shack located at Baga beach. It's a perfect beach shack with a lovely view and good ambience. Friendly staff, prompt service, also Sam's Beach shack gives a nice mood with Good music with a house DJ. Dance floors available. Variety of dishes , beverages available. Rates are reasonable when u get a nice ambience and music Overall experience was superb and suggestable one.

We had a sandwich and couple of beers and the chips were freshly made, absolutely loved it. The staff are friendly and welcoming.

Very classy shack with a great choice and variety of beverages. Their chef is excellent and you must try the fresh seafood choices. The staff is excellent and you can easily spend a large part of the day or evening just relaxing and unwinding here. Recommended

Rocking place,the food is very nice compared to other shack,this shack gives a quick service and food quality is also good . Pls do try Garlic butter prawns,its awesome.

Located at Baga beach. Ambience was good. We ordered chicken triple Schezwan fried rice, chicken pasta and bolognese. Everything was great to taste. Portions on pasta could be worked on.

This place is on the famous Baga Beach in Goa... The main attraction here is the small pub on the beach... The reason for the huge youth crowd is that the entry fee is free... But here along with drinks, sea food is also very good... Watching the ocean waves and enjoying them is heavenly...!!!

The ambience here is good as its in the centre of baga beach <br/>Booked a rest chair with friends <br/>Customized something from their menu and liked it<br/>Enjoyed while looking at those waves hitting shore <br/>Chilling ❤️

Most corrupt place on Baga beach. They crook you with fake bills. They add extra liquor in your bill. When enquired and tell the correction, the entire staff come in mob and try to lynch you. Even give threats like 'phod dalega, marega, and will abuse you.' waiters in there are most disrespectful, creepy and provide you information about single girls or group of girls. They steal small things from you as well.<br/>To summerise I can say, they all are thieves and crooks.

Delivery time was good food was enough to have lunch with friends and food is very tasty in rows there are cream cream is much then other roles you can enjoy your meal each meal and you can enjoy roles and chicken rolls are tasty but veg rolls are more tasty Paneer rolls it is the best role I have ever eaten in my life

this is the first place where we tried food, and that went so amazing, this place is having chill vibes, see facing place and those shacks for chilling with sea front facing view, so that time when we were there that is like brunch kinda time so we ordered coffee and juice and after some time we ordered omelet and fried tiger prawns, so everything we ordered was good, tiger prawns came with some salad for sides.

Waiters don’t know how to speak with customers. Even roadside vendors behaves better than them.

Waiter doesn’t know how to speak to the customer, they only engage themselves to foreign tourists, dint reply back to the waiter as we dint want to go down to his level which was literally cheap .

The place is good for watching the sun go down in the evening while having some drinks and food.<br/><br/>The food is just average and the service is not great...<br/><br/>Staff is not friendly and they dont look really interested in serving food...

Went here for a quick dinner.Ordered paneer chilli and chicken chilli both tasted delicious and was spicy (can't complain). Prices are usually high in the shacks in baga but food is definitely good.<br/><br/>Staff is friendly but if u mess with them they are bound to be agressive.

One of happening place in Baga Beach. Loved the crowd and ambience. The food was good and staffs were polite and helpful. We had fish finger, chilly chicken and spring roll which were tasty and yummy. We had mojito which was refreshing and cool. Overall great experience.

Decent place, little pricey like all shacks but food quality is really good. Would not recommend making any drinking plans here, drinks are too expensive.

Taste if the chinese items was good. Service was also good. Prices high for the ambience and quantity but then all shacks in Goa are overpriced. Compared to shack like Brittos, Sam's has better food to offer. Taste was much better, hence 4 stars!

Went there twice in a single trip. The food is so good that i couldn't resist myself to go there twice. But their service is too bad and the waiters are so rude. You can go there only for the food and the ambience. It's a late night shack so you can even go that place late night. And do try the chicken malai tikka as its stole my heart. ❤

It's very difficult to choose between shacks on the beach as all look almost the same. We chose this one as it was a bit more crowded than the rest.<br/><br/>The service was just horrible, we were constantly calling the waiters and none of them had time to respond. When we finally got the menu card, the pages were almost torn and food bits all over it. We just told them one dish and he almost snatched the menu card and gave it to another table, we waited for another 15 minutes to get the menu back.<br/><br/>The food was okay, chicken spring roll had more of cabbage than chicken. Crispy fried veg was fine. For main course we had chicken triple rice and that was also okay. Again you'll have a tough time getting the final bill. Extremely bad service, there are many other better shacks you could visit for better service and tastier food.<br/>

A good shack with a large area for outdoor dining. Have got a dance floor inside the shack with some high note music. Talking about the food, it was spicy; tried chicken curry dishes, butter roti, steak etc. Quantity was fine. A bit expensive and people looking for a calm place for some peaceful atmosphere, this is not the place. Got a variety of alcohol options and dishes. Service is very good. They also provide hookah with different flavours.

The most horrible place I have ever been to.i ordered a fries which were pathetic and then when I complained they ever not ready to listen and instead told me whatever it is you need to pay and when we refused the manager got involved in a physical brawl with my friend and all his waiters gathered to beat us for merely 140 rupees..and then in the end we were harassed and forced to pay 650 rupees for things we didn't even eat and ordered..never ever go to this place...

Good food, great staff who listens to you and your requests. If food not upto the standard they'll replace it right away without asking for it. Had a fun night here. FYI music stops at 10pm on all Shacks

A place to dine out for.. well all I would say after much discussion we opted out for this place as it had great crowd compared to other shacks. The DJ was also a Bollywood songs lover I guess just like us. Though the quantity provided was slightly less as per our expectations but it was great in taste. On a personal note watch out for Mahesh Bhai, he is a pahadi guy and a great person he served us with warmth and was quick ,also he was doing his job greatly.<br/>Overall an amazing experience at an amazing place with great music with cool winds of the beach.<br/>A great place to hangout with friends<br/>

It's a fun, lively place. You can take your family too here.<br/>The food, although a bit overpriced, is good in terms of taste and serving size.<br/><br/>Sheesha is available too here.<br/>The place has the location to its advantage, because the idea of eating by the sea would entice anyone and everyone.<br/><br/>There's a cool breeze as the waves crash at the shores of the beach.<br/><br/>I'd like to visit it again next time I'm in town.

This beach shack is quite good.<br/>They provide some good food.<br/>Tried various items here on multiple days of my stay in goa<br/>Food :- prawns , sea food platter , French fries , shark , pomfret , dal makhani , butter roti.<br/>Drinks:- jahgerbomb was quite awesome.<br/><br/>Only -ve point is its bit costly.

Very nice restaurant,good food,  warm n welcoming staff and the rates are very reasonable.<br/><br/>Location is quite good beautiful sea view ,  clean and we'll maintained ambience.

Poor service worse food and what not . Disappointment starts from the very moment you reach this place . Staff was unprofessional hardly into their job . They are not able to take the order properly and service is something let’s not even mention . FooD is worst you feel you are eating oil . Never visit this place. <br/>

One of the most happening beach shacks in Baga.<br/>The shack has orange lights that looked very pleasing to the eyes. We sat there for 3-4 hours and enjoyed the music. The waiters were busy and were not serving properly. Food and beer was good and quite expensive.

All that glitters is not gold. Place looks quite good, while the food is just opposite.<br/>Last expectation of dal tadka was also ruined, with tadka in dalda with no taste.<br/>Cashier was also not polite.. only good thing was bottled water! Enjoy!!

Best beach shack at baga beach, with good food, full fledged bar, the ambience at this place is very good, full orange gold theme as it should be on the beach, this place is full of life....

One of the best pork dish i tried in goa... Good taste but the dish is more on onion, tomato and bell peppers... I hope they made it with more pork... Good ambience while watching the big waves of the ocean... Staffs are nice...

We dropped by this place as this was the only place with sea view which was in our way ehile we walked in Baga in the morning so we decided to go with this place. All we knew is our ear drums would go for a toss. After walking a long time in Baga finally we settled for Sam's shack.we were already enduring the hangover and the hunger we could not endure the LOUD ITEM NUMBER played early in the morning as we waited for the order. The food was good view was excellent but the choice of music they play early in the morning is loud and unbearable. Beef sandwich was the best of the order along with Freid egg on toast.

After all mesh in a day set for good evening found this shack a little bit uneasy all servers are busy in their own business they don’t even bother take order or help the guest food was not so 🙁

Post party landed here to satiate our hunger pangs as almost all other restaurants were closed for food orders!<br/><br/>It is a beach shack with dance floor and outdoor seatings with beach view. In the evenings they have candle light set up on each table.<br/>The music is great here! The music is played till 1am and post which alcohol is also not available!<br/><br/>We tried Goan special - Goan Fish Curry and rice. The curry was coconut based light and smooth, went well with the rice. Then we had Chicken curry and roti. It was also delicious.<br/><br/>We didn't expect the food to be so good here and the service was quick too! The staffs were courteous and they were kind enough to suggest few dishes based on our taste. Best thing they serve food late night!

Worst places I have ever been too....service is horrible and the staff particularly the manager(most senior person today) is the most rude person I ve met in Goa.....

The shack is located very near to Tito’s lane!! It was like the most happening shack in the beach!! Do ask for the guy Samuel!! He served us!! The service was very prompt!! Ordered couple of LIIT’s!! The drink was perfectly done!! Prawn 65 was good!! Chilly chicken was good!! The shisha here was done perfectly!! Nice place!!

Awesome delicious food at 4am in the morning. Couldn't ask for anything more. Anytime anyway anymonth. Good food at reasonable prices. Should visit.

I had a mixed experience at this place. Since it is located on the beach itself, it attracts a large crowd and the service had to be slow. We were 6 people and we had to wait to get a seat. Moreover it was not at all clean, and when we complained about it, the staff just turned the mattress and asked us to place the order.<br/>We had prawns pasta, a sea food platter and a gaon dish I dont remember along with a couple of beers. The platter was awesome and pasta was finger licking good.

We sat their whole night, on the beach with candle lights. It was beautifull. The whole ambience and everything.<br/>In food, fried prawns was just okay. For health watchers, Veg sizzler was amazing.<br/>Hookah was for an hour, and changed coal as many time as we asked, and hookah was very very smooth.<br/>

very good place and ambience. indian food is very nice but if you would like pasta i 100% recommend chicken cream penne pasta, we had cold coffee and that was too good also. thankyou very much to MJ who served us, he is from calcutta and gives best food recommendations.

i have been at this place before 4 days back, waiters do not respect, they are rude, all is they need is money, they dont care about customer satisfaction, dont go there, they are good for nothing, waiters are not educated, they started harassing me , all they need is your money, no respect . avoid at all cost.

Last time i visited Goa, i really liked the food (read pasta)! This time it was a huge dissapointment! Over priced for the food they are serving! The oil in which the food had been prepared was probably used 10 times before. And the service was even worse! Would not recommend it any more.

Sam's beach shack is of the most happening shacks in baga, thanks to it nearest location to the main entrance from Tito's lane<br/><br/>Like all other shacks, seating is same and candle light dinner for couples, groups of 4 and large is provided. Hookah is available and they keep replenishing the coal for around 1.5 hr, after that they fight if you argue for more. One hookah costed around 800 bucks. <br/><br/>FOOD<br/><br/>Ordered paneer 65, was good in taste and medium spicy. Chicken spring rolls were also fine in taste and decent quantity. Pasta which was recommended by the waiter boy, was very disappointing and had shredded cheese sprinkled, not melted. It tasted bland and was a drag.<br/><br/>SERVICE AND COSTING<br/><br/>Pricing is usual, food expensive drinks cheap. <br/><br/>All in all decent shack and I don't mind sitting there again. Music played is Bollywood as well as latest English pop. Lighting is superb and one of the most glimmering and glittering shacks on baga. Waiters are only attentive to their own tables, apparently there is a division among them for which guests they bring and which guests they handle. So they rarely bother to pay any heed to other tables. The hookah guy takes his money separately and as usual, no proper bills are provided.

One of the most popular shack at baga beach. This shack offers good quality food at bit higher prices similar to other shacks o@f North Goa beaches. Waiter suggested tuna masala fish which was served with french fries& was awesome in it's cooking & taste. Second dish he suggested was masala prawns which I didn't liked much. So we ordered another dish of chicken. Which was pretty ok.<br/>Ambience was nice, when u sit in front of sea with good music playing in the background you enjoy it. So only suggestion is you should go with long time in hand so that you can enjoy the sea breeze. Anurag Mehra

Rating on this shack purely doesnot resemble the kind of food they serve. Being blunt, the seafood is awesome here. Just enjoy the night with trendy music and soothing wind ...

Well that was my first night in Goa, we all were tired from that very long 10hours journey from Mumbai, so we wanted to have some good food by the beach.. we went to this place which was very loud as it was competing with the other shacks I guess. The food quality is very poor,the lobster was not fresh.. also the weirdest thing was that not even the bira we ordered was tasting like bira, the only good thing about this place is that you can sit there and glaze at this beautiful sea in front of this shack. Surely wouldn't recommend to have peaceful romantic dinner.

Sam’s beach shack is located in a beautiful setting on Baga beach in North Goa. It’s a very pretty place to visit after sunset. Beautifully lit by candles and with tables laid out near the shore, I would highly recommend this for anyone who wants to watch to stay out for night at the beach to watch the sunrise.<br/>The vibes are along party lines and mostly party crowd is present there. However, it gets better as the night wears out. <br/>I didn’t like the menu. The drinks they offered were overpriced and tasted really bad. <br/>However the staff and service is good. <br/>Would recommend for a one time visit only.

Amazing place, if you are in right mood. Guys, it is not an ultimate foodie destination but the atmosphere is what makes this place special. My review might be biased as I had my best time there. The DJ was an amazing guy, polite and ever smiling. Music stops for couple of hours after 10 pm but if you have luck on your side and police is bit lenient then the atmosphere picks up after 1-2am thereafter it's total madness till 4-6am. Try to find a table in front of shack as on either sides there is loud music from other shacks. Can't comment upon food as we indulged in beer only but a special mention for Dal Tadka. It was amazing. Butter tandoori roti and garma garam dal after dancing for 3-4 hours was heavenly.. Also was the lovely feeling of eating and dancing under open sky with sea just behind you. Service might be bit slow when it comes to serving food but staff is hard working. Special mention for the guy name "ROHIT". Lovely guy, you will end up being friend with him. He was the reason we went to sam's again as we knew he will treat as with open heart, provided that crowd is not outnumbering his efforts. Yes, being a open space and without any cover charge, no restriction for stags, you will find this place too crowded, but chill, just give yourself some time to settle down, relax and let the mood overwhelm every other minor issues, accept that when there is so much of crowd, everything can't be perfect , and you will end up dancing till 4am. So, just relax at hotel, go out there around 12, drink till couple of hours, and charge yourself for the dance under the sky.. And do find rohit, you will love him 😊

Best place to hangout in baga beach nd taste is also better from all the shacks nd the best part is service of staff nd owner is very coperative.

Pathetic, don't even think of going there.. Neither Sam nor the one next to it with the name of pyramid.. Most rude staff.. And they may even resort to violence..

This place sucks ...They didn't know what is potato wedges and the person who was taking our orders had not heard of corn or any food items on the menu. Had a hard time keeping my cool with no one accountable for the service in this shack.

Visited in mid December and as usual GOA was happening over the beaches.<br/>This is the famous shack on Baga beach and it’s happening w.r.t. music and lighting and being sea side. Though the same cannot be said for the food the serve. <br/>Had kings beer(the local beauty), Prawns Masala,Chicken Chilli and Fish Fingers.<br/>Hookah was served by other local guy.<br/><br/>For me the beer and fish finger was a thumbs up.<br/>Though the atmosphere made us eat everything

If you wanna be treated by the best staff you must visit this place. The service takes time because they have a huge place to handle. But , it is ignored due to an amazing ambiance on the baga beach with amazing music.

Just loud noise of shitty music. Pathetic service! Nothing is good abt this shack. Waste of time! They take 10-15 minutes just to serve a pint of beer!

Good food ,, the chicken malai tikka was amazing ..also the Goan sausage chilli was good , nice ambiance at night with the sit out on the beach ,, the staff was friendly and food was served quickly and hot ..

It’s a good shack with proper ambience and food especially the service staff Shivam is good at service and suggestion <br/><br/>Love the shack and will be back soon <br/><br/>

They blast music all night. Good crowd and good place to chill till late night. Good service and food. They provide hookah at a cheap rate compared to the other shacks on baga.

Great food... Service is little slow... And as usual baga is crowed... So don't expect to have a peaceful time... But you'll enjoy the place...

We entered this shack late night at 12 and ordered food. We almost dozed off in the chairs and all of a sudden Mr.Rohit, the fellow waiter started abusing us with inappropriate words for having slept. After few know how to treat a customer argument the waiter was changed. We were the one supposed to argue for their late food delivery, instead the waiter jumped into such a hateful argument. One of the worst kind customer service. Do try to pick a decent and obedient waiter rather than one who tries to bully with the customers and spoil the reputation of the place. Ambience good, drinks cheaper served until 4 am but more to be improved on customer friendly service.

We order without alcohol drink n their staff member serve with alcohol cocktails.. We order him without alcohol drink n then to he was blaming on us... Very bad experience 🙁

This is with great sorrow and condemn that I am writing this mail about poor customer service in Sams. Mr Rohit who serves in baga expressed the worst of behavior during our visit to sams baga. Mr. Rohit did not take order with us but someone other waiter took order with us. Order went near by 45 mins delayed and we all went asleep at 3.30 am. All of a sudden mr.Rohit fired up and shouted at us asking not to sleep. The problem is he did not even take order with us, abused us very badly in Hindi and fought us with the poorest behavior he could. Requesting you to take appropriate actions against mr.Rohit. This incident bought a very bad impression towards customer service in sams. <br/>

Located Near Baga Beach.. Went for Lunch... Too Loud music or may be we got the worst seat near the speakers. Food was ordinary..wasn't at all impressed by the quality. Only plus point was service was good.. Drinks were good, but being a non-drinker and foodalohic person didn't like the place!! Recommended: Fish Tikka<br/><br/>Keep Hogging,<br/>Sanky/1tablesp00n

Want to party till early morning on the beach ? This is the place to visit ! <br/><br/>Ample seating, right on the beach, and easily located just at the end of the famous Tiots Lane.<br/>Food, booze and good music and the beach ! Isnt your ideal #GoanHoliday complete ?? <br/><br/>Food : 5/5<br/>Ambience : 5/5<br/>Value for money : 5/5<br/>Service : 5/5 (Super friendly and quick)

Better than the rest of the shacks in terms of Ambience. The alcohol slightly on the cheaper side. Pretty eye catching and stands out among the rest.

Serves good pawns sizzler. The Chinese noodles was okay. The comes coffee was good. Mine that they don't accept card until the bill is 2000.

Happened to dine here... they had set uo cane chairs on beach with candle light and bollywood songs in backgound. we ordered for biryani and hookah which was not exceptional... I loved the space waiters gave us, though their service was slow... My points are for ambience only.

Its a nice shack on Baga.<br/>If you are looking for a nice chillout place with some nice snack like Garlic bread and beer, this place would be a perfect choice<br/>The prices are also quite reasonable.<br/>The quality and presentation if food could be better given its on Baga.

We were looking for a place on the beach and choose this shack...The service took forever...And the staff did not seem interested...We ordered few cocktails..beer and starters...Was average and very expensive...Good view and we all had a nice time looking at some fire tricks by kids on the beach

Best place to hangout with friends and family . At night this place gives you a fantastic view with amazing food ,drinks and sheesha on the beach side . Good to go if you dont wanna go to party.

Do not visit this place. Waiter tells us if you order in 20mins we will give you slow service. Do i have to order every minute ? Isnt it my wish. They are earning because of vistors like all of us. Wrong attitude to run a bussiness.

visited for dinner on a Thursday night around 9pm.<br/><br/>Food – 3/5<br/><br/>Drinks – 4/5<br/><br/>Ambiance – 4/5<br/><br/>Service – 3/5<br/><br/>VFM – 3/5<br/><br/>They have cane chairs and tables set up on the beach. And a candle on each table gives it quite a romantic feel. You can sit facing the sea at night and enjoy your food and drinks.<br/><br/>Waiters give you a lot of space and don’t bother you at all for the order which sometimes gets frustrating, especially when you want to place an order.<br/><br/>Fenny with Limca – I tried fenny for the second time. It doesn’t smell very nice and taste wise goes best with Limca.<br/><br/>Seafood spaghetti- white sauce with cheese. Squids, prawns and fish pieces with spaghetti. The spaghetti was a little over cooked and the cheese was too much for my liking, nonetheless a decent dish.<br/><br/>Squid masala – spicy red masala with squids stir fried. The only non deep fried squid dish. It was tasty, the masala was really spicy!<br/><br/>Felt the prices could be lower, but since they are right on the beach their charges are high.<br/><br/>**They do have burgers in their menu and we wanted to order but were informed that it is a part of the breakfast menu only<br/><br/>Total bill - Rs 790.

A nice shack on the Baga beach. There is absolutely no difference in this one or any of the other shacks on the beach. The food was tasty but a bit spicy. Panner chilly and chicken chilly was quite ok, but the fish masala was a lil disappointing.

I don't know why it has got such a low rating on Zomato.<br/><br/>One of the most popular shacks on Baga. Service is slow coz it's always crowded. Nice place to have some seafood, don't go around ordering North India food here. Only drawback was the Punjabi Songs being played, ruining the environment. It's a nice eatery when you don't know where to go late at night. Had their seafood platter, amazing it was. Quantity was surplus. Staff is courteous. Have fun in Goa !

Loud place on baga beach have an amazing dance floor and nice decor which is attracts many people on the beach to sams dj was nice though people serving there are rude n arrogant despite the competition huge crowd gets attracted here bt because of service i will suggest that u look for anotger shack lots of option available on baga beach

Great place to drink and eat after sunset. Music is so awesome, makes other shacks look shallow. Would recommend friends to visit this place.

Too much awesome place in Goa . It is the one of the best place in Goa for damn delicious food we had amazing night out at shacks . It has lovely taste of food in any time of the day in goa. We love the service at over late night time. We order some of the authentic goa food and taste was really good <br/>Taste- 4/5<br/>Ambience- 5/5<br/>Food -3.5/5<br/>Price - 3/5<br/>

Just another shack which boasts for its Italian cuisine. Well guess what, they actually have good Italian food. Perfect taste. Good service. Cooperative staff service. Open till 5am! Sit back and relax!

Decent, just a money ripper. Very casual service, and ordinary food. Nothing amazing about the place, nor any speciality. <br/><br/>Maybe just a good lying down spot, just like every other shack.

Sam's shack! One of the very few shacks open the whole night! The sitting arrangement is great! On the shore with candles! <br/>The service is very slow and rude waiters! <br/>The egg biryani is yum! Else the food isn't that interesting to talk about! The ambience makes everything worth, nothing else!

When you walk through baga beach, Sam's beach shack will be your first option for sure, because of the crowd filled dance floor while other shacks were empty.<br/>So we took our seat and started having drinks, then we slowly moved towards the dance floor to showcase our weird dance steps. We were really enjoying but then came the waiter who started shouting to us saying we did not informed while leaving to the dance floor and he was searching for us. We apologized for our mistake and again started to dance, then he came again with the bill, we paid the bill and then he started asking for extra bucks. When asked he said it was the service charge but which was not indicated in our bill. We could have given him extra tips also, but the way he behaved was really bad and unacceptable in front others. His name was Kamal or something. He spoiled our entire mood and day with this incident.

This place is average,music is super loud, it feels as if someone knocking oj ur head.<br/>Food is bad, hookah was awefull, waste of money.avg place

Very poor experience, very arrogant staff, they don't have value for any customer, poor quality of food, high price, very slow service, serving of Bill they take 25 minutes. <br/><br/>Never Ever visit this place. Horrible.

If I have to give rating I will give negative for this Shack. Highly unruly and unprofessional staff and Management. I was being Hit by the Waiter in front of Owners/Managers on my ear due which I have lost partial hearing. I have already made police complaint with medical test records. Police is taking action. But I would suggest and request to isolate these kind of Shacks, who dont even know how to treat customers. The incident happened only for a small reason of Changing table and then they came all together and hit me.<br/>After filing police complaint I learnt that I was not alone who has been thrashed but this incident has become quite common at this place. If they can't even treat customers properly imagine what sort of mentality they come with.<br/>It's better to socially boycott this Shack.<br/>This incident can happen with any one, I would request you all to look for other options than going in this shack .Atleast let them realise how important customers are.

This is the most cheap down market café in Baga beach Goa.... Horrible food, Horrible service. Shit is served🗣🗣🗣😤😤 . Waste of money n time.. 😠😡😠😡

Not a great place off late here at Baga..ordered grilled chicken with chips and it was big disaster.. the chicken was not cooked properly and stinking..didnt had the courage to try anything more and just left..

Nice place to enjoy Cool breeze..hukkah with you friends and get relax.please note that Credit cards are not accepted in almost all the shacks.So before entering there make sure you have enough cash in your wallet.

90% of the shack's having bad food...high is cost...low quantity...so, even this shacks too...we enjoied the beer and calamari...rest of the foods are all junk

Average food but better compared to other shacks in Baga. The good thing was it was just 100 mts away from our resort. The candlelight seating was good too. Nice place to be at sunset and enjoy the drinks :) <br/>

A beach side shack fighting over and trying to overpower music with a parallel shack, so no enjoyment at all, food wasn't too great either..

The food is really amazing, white sauce pasta was just out standing and even the Margarita drink, we went to Sam's 2nights back to back. The music was also good and staff and services were nice especially Waiter named shivam he was on his toes to serve us.<br/><br/>Overall it was a great experience!

A pretty chill place in Baga. The food here is pretty good and i honestly dont know why they only 2.9 zomato rating. They deserve much better and i really enjoyed my meal at Sam's and would still come here the next time I come to Goa.

Ive never had such a bad food the chicken and fish are smelling badly and this place will spoil your mood and everything is bad i had my baddest time

We have just returned after basking in the Goan sun and can't wait to share our food haul. We shamelessly hog on sea food on our each visit to Goa. On one such weekend lazy lunch, we ordered the Kingfish in Rawa Fry preparation from the mains at Sam's Beach Shack. The crunchy rawa fry batter tasted oh-so-lovely with the mindbogglingly spicy fish inside. A perfect meal to grab along with the waves crashing in front of tour eyes on a lazy weekend in Goa. Ambience- Beach Shack set-up with open air as well as roofed spaces with some lazy beats which can be heard in the background in afternoons. Service- Suggestive but a lil slow. Price- 450 for the Rawa Fry Kingfish <br/><br/>#RawaFry #FriedFish #foodreview #SamsShack #BagaBeach #Goa #Zomato #UrbanFoodaholics #foodie #pub #foodography #FoodBlog #blogger #BiteTheBest #hangouts #InstaBlog #food #ForTheLoveOfFood #foodporn #foodgasm #igers #instadaily #yummy #delicious #fbai #foodoftheday #beachshack #GoanFood #goafoodie #beachdiaries

Located right at the beach, great location. The ambience was dead, probably coz it's off season.<br/><br/>But, your Beef Sizzler, Holy Manchanga!!<br/><br/>Phenomenal!

Had been here one afternoon. Ok place to be. Service is good. The staf is attentive. Tried their Chicken crispy and masala prawns. Both were delicious.

was in Goa for a week in the end of March and after a big night of partying in the early hours of the morning i stumbled upon this place. The music was quite bad and was very loud, but we were hungry, so decided to stay. Our server (Shivam) put out a table for us far away from the music. We were gonna go for the usual goan delicacies, but Shivam suggested a few dishes on his own. Specifically king prawns in goan masala and lemon butter rice. I have to say, the food was absolutely delicious the prawns were cooked to perfection and the rice was to die for, even the beef chilly fry we ordered was yummy. I very highly recommend thia place for ita food and Shivam for the service. But late at night, instead of loud dance music, i would prefer some nice soft chilled out stuff.

Loud music with mostly bollywood numbers, slow service, average food...i had to shout to them to get their attention...that too when it was less crowded on weekday, i wonder what would happen on weekend when the place is full of people everywhere. Overall experience: nothing special as i wanted to get out of it as soon as the drink and food was over.

V Good ambience. Amazing music. And the food ticks off the amazing list. This shack defines the way you should enjoy the baga beach. The orange theme especially makes it distinguishable from away. And a special appreciation to one Shivam who attended us, Good job buddy. Just Loved everything here.

The only reason to visit Baga beach was because of all the hype. The whole area, including the beach was too crowded with hundreds of shack options to choose from. But having seen Sam's first, we decided to give it a try. <br/><br/>I know I must be a fool to eat pasta in Goa, but O-M-G their white sauce pasta tasted just like Big Chill's pasta. Though their red sauce pasta lacked any flavours and had no red sauce in it. We had to send it back to get it fixed. <br/><br/>The masala prawns were delicious but too oily. The fried fish dish was just okay. And the french fries came cold and hard. <br/><br/>We also tried their cocktails - margarita and LIIT, which were quite potent; so if you are ordering drinks for the kick of it, you must try their cocktails, but taste wise it is a big NO! <br/><br/>If I ever have to go back to this place, it would only be for their pasta and music, nothing else.

This review is being written 3 months after our Goa sojourn, as I was unable to find this entry on Zomato on returning from our trip. Funny how it had escaped me then (I had actually submitted a form asking them to include this eatery on their roster). Going back to that night, we were walking along the Baga beach, in search of a decent place to dine. There wasn't much to differentiate between the shacks dotting the coast line, and Sam's looked as good as any of the surrounding ones. Maybe the music they were playing at that moment won it in their favour. We decided to give this shack a try and took our seats at one of the candle-lit tables.<br/><br/>Dinner was supposed to be a simple affair of alcohol and starters. First round consisted of cocktails, accompanied by one plate each of Pepper Chicken and Prawns Chilly. My choice for the night was Zombie, a mild concoction based out of rum. This was followed by pegs of Bacardi and Smirnoff, and a constant supply of munchies - Fish Pakoda, Chicken Crispy, Prawn Manchurian, Chicken Sukha.<br/><br/>Although none of the dishes was exceptional, all of them were quite tasty. The quantity of each item was sufficient, as 6 plates of starters satiated the 6 of us. Moreover, as more and more tables started to get occupied, the music level was turned up, and some of the patrons took to dancing, which led to a vibrant atmosphere. Of course, we didn't take to the dance floor for the greater good, but it made for a memorable night in Goa.<br/><br/>In a nutshell, if you want to dine at one of the shacks in Baga beach, but are not biased by prior recommendations, you can consider Sam's to be a safe bet.

Hey I dint know what's to complain about but I love this place ! Three of us came here at night and just happen to see the nightlife of all the shacks by this beach and it was just lovely!! We didn't eat anything but we just felt awesome sitting here and sipping our mocktails and having a hookah! <br/><br/>The service is great and staff are friendly and helpful and they don't mind you just sitting here and chilling around for however long you want. <br/><br/>Sam's shack is also the most beautiful looking shack with a nice little dance floor with good music and everything. This was also the most filled up shack which meant lot of other people and families as well felt comfortable here. <br/><br/>Overall,<br/>A very welcoming shack on the beach :)

Great place... Great atmosphere... Great Music...! Food was not that best.. OK! Drinks were a bit over priced..! Service was good. I loved the place bcoz the music you placed was irresistibly great. Pulling us again n again to the floor..! V were a group of 8 . N all of us jus danced till our legs gave up. Thnku for making our day good..! After the Anthony's spoild.
