Visited Sam’s BBQ & Bakes after a recommendation from a friend and was not disappointed. Inside and out and was extremely clean and inviting and the menu is in the window which makes it easy to choose whilst not feeling obligated or rushed. The staff are lovely and extremely accommodating and even allowed us to stay inside to eat after closing time. I didn’t catch their names but they were genuinely lovely and wanted to make sure our food was good. I had the Mac & cheese with brisket and Sam’s BBQ sauce and it was lovely. The Mac & cheese was creamy and tasty with a lovely cheese crust and the crispy onions paired perfectly. The brisket was some of the best I’ve tried and they don’t skimp on the portion size, the house bbq sauce is a perfect finish. The brownies and cookies also look incredible and pricing is surprisingly really good. Would 100% recommend and hope this business do well and stick around.- Service

I nipped into Sam’s BBQ & Bakes whilst shopping in town, and said to Sam I will be ordering the next day for takeaway night.. And I am so glad I did, I ordered the BBQ Bad Boy beef + Large Mac and Cheese. The Food was very nice and filling, as portions were big! The Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Made you feel really comfortable, I will be definitely returning!

Sam's BBQ is a unique smokey experience of flavour that you won't get from any other takeaway in swadlincote it's just unmatched! The price reflects into the food it self from the time it's taken to smoke and rest to delivery to your door if smoking food was an art I think Sam has truly mastered that art

Been hearing good things about Sam's BBQ & Bakes and it did not disappoint! Great sized portions and reasonable price for the quality and size.
Staff are friendly and the place looks great, very clean, inviting and nice décor.
I ordered a BBQ pulled pork toasted sandwich on a brioche roll and it was VERY good.
My friend ordered mac n cheese and the portions are big, definitely something you could share as a side order.
We had to wait a little while, but we hadn't pre-ordered and it was smack in the middle of lunchtime so that's to be expected as they were already busy.
Would definitely recommend and will be back again soon.- Service

Best sandwich in county!
* great value* *top quality*
Awesome place with wholesome owners.
The cobs are so good! Sizeable and tasty. The value for money in this place is also great!
Do yourself a favour, get yourself down here. Its not often you get a querky fast food place like this outside a city.
*Updated menu visit*
This place is still 5 stars minimum! Nachos, hot dogs, subs, mac n cheese, all with homemade with homemade sauces, prepared with passion.

Thank you so much for your review, we're very glad you enjoyed and really appreciate it :)
The food from here is out of the world. I have only ever tried pork belly cooked to perfection, like this, from one other place. The staff are lovely and very helpful. I would definitely recommend sams bakes and definitely the mac and cheese with pork belly.

So.....popped in today (it's my birthday, I'm on a night shift tonight and, having experienced this place a couple of months back, was blooming delicious, I thought I'd treat myself to a couple of torpedo rolls for my meal break tonight). I'm of two minds whether to review or not......a) this place is awesome.......b) too many people knowing about this place means less BBQ for me lol!
I ordered the Tribbiani (a go to favourite sandwich) and the BBQ Bad Boy chicken and beef (and a sneaky Biscoff brownie).
It's not "fast food" but good grief, it's delicious food. Sam is an absolute gent, and the lady on the counter (I'm sorry, I don't know your name), just wants to make your experience perfect.
The Tribbiani has NOT lasted to my night shift. I've eaten it already. The smoke on the meat is tongue-tastical, it's tender, great flavour and just beautiful. The freshness from the salad, along with the sauces is just 👌.
Seriously, you could go to a chain restaurant, but they are absolutely NO comparison to the food and service this little (blink and you'll miss it) place delivers.
I'm now trying to stop myself from eating my second torpedo roll...........MUST HAVE WILLPOWER. Give Sam's a go. You won't be disappointed. Top notch BBQ, cookies and brownies.- Service
