About Sam & Harry's
Sam & Harry's is a fast food restaurant on Alum Rock Rd in Birmingham, with a menu built around fried chicken, chicken burgers and wings. The Sizzler chicken burger anchors the burger range, and spicy versions run across the meals, the wings and the burger. Meals come with fries and a side of beans or coleslaw, and chilli sauce is one of the dips. Drinks are poured from a fountain. The dining room is simple, with booth seating for eating in. The kitchen stays open until late, which makes it a stop for late-night meals.

Customer Review Summary
Complaints are more frequent and serious. Multiple reviewers describe undercooked or off chicken, including pink inside niblets, chicken raw in the middle, and a cold burger. One reviewer reports finding an ant in a burger box, and another calls the shop dirty. Others cite a wait of nearly two hours, a classic burger swapped for a spicy one, a sizzler chicken burger that looked like a regular one, and bland, rubbery chicken breast. Several object to being charged for a small tub of mayonnaise when only chilli sauce came with the meal. One reviewer says the refund request was refused.

“These guys can barely serve chicken. Have attached pictures. Will be looking for a full refund. If not will escalate. You dont get away with serving old chicken and throwing sauce over it to hide it.”

“So I’ve waited just under two hours for my food it’s came stone cold, and gave me the wrong thing I asked for a classic burger not a spicy one, can’t eat spice so just wasted my money cause I ain’t eating that chicken either and who like cold chips lol would not recommend it, if you like dirty food then go for it”

“Sam & Harry's is proof that fast food dining can be done right. No need to sacrifice good quality food for the sake of pushing out subpar meals (like their competitors) Greasy, lukewarm and processed aren't words that will spring to mind while eating here. I had an absolutely reasonable 5 minute wait for a mega burger meal (double chicken breast burger) The fries were perfectly salted, fresh, hot and crispy, they (cleverly) serve their own amazing selection of drinks from the fountain. The chicken burger was great value, piping hot and fresh with a perfect amount of sauce, no soggy buns! My only criticism is that I wished the chicken was crispier, besides that, it was a 9/10 meal for sure! Will definitely come back, these guys are open until really late as well to help feed your midnight cravings. (Paid a very reasonable £7.80 for a delicious burger, fries and drink)”
