Pete & Sam's Restaurant

Sam’s story began in 1948 shortly after he was discharged from the Army Air Corps. He returned home to Memphis, Tennessee where he and his cousin Pete Romeo shared an idea. Sam used his experience at his Uncle’s eatery in Osceola, Arkansas and his love of watching his mother prepare meals as a young boy and opened his first restaurant. Pete got out of the business after 6 short months, but Sam didn’t have the money to change the name on the sign. So the name stuck and the rest is history.
