History of Sam Seltzer's Steakhouse

The Seltzer family has been in the steak business for over 75 years. Beginning in the 1920's, patriarch Sam Seltzer opened his first butcher shop in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Sam's business philosophy was simple: provide the customer with a high quality product, impeccable service, and outstanding value. This philosophy has been the cornerstone of a thriving family business that has come to include meat markets and restaurants in the Canadian provinces of Quebec and Ontario, as well as Southern and Central Florida.

The first Sam Seltzer's Steakhouse opened in Tampa, Florida in 1995, and quickly became a favorite of both locals and seasonal visitors. Since then, Sam's has grown to sixrestaurants, located at:
