The Sam's menu is a case much like Martin Denny records, where eBay demonstrated they were a bit more common than people originally thought. Back in 2002-2003, they appeared rarely and were going for $60 or more, but as more sellers discovered that Polynesian restaurant menus were good sellers, they began to appear more often. Nowadays they seem to go for about $20.

Here are a few completed auctions for comparison:

If you include plenty of photos in your auction and use the keywords "Tiki","Sam's","Sea Food","Seafood", & "Menu" in the title, you'll probably get more hits and a price on the higher end of the scale.

If you collect other tiki memorabilia, it might be a good trade item.

I'm guessing the kid's pirate menu might fetch the same or a little less, unless it has some tiki or tiki-mug graphics in it. Then it would go higher.
