We had a lovely breakfast here! The servers were very friendly, the decor was beautiful (and fun!), and the atmosphere welcoming. The raspberry almond pancakes, which they made into a smiley face for the kid, were delicious and 2 was way more than the kid could eat! The hot chocolate was piled with whipped cream. We had biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs, which were tasty and filling. The daily special scramble was also good. The mochas were served in jar style mugs. We appreciated the outdoor heating in the early morning chill.

Welcoming spot for breakfast and lunch. Lovely outdoor patio, food is great with good coffee! Have had a few items on the menu including daily scramble, corned beef hash, fried chicken sandwich and all were tasty. Service can be a bit slow at times but overall it is a great spot to enjoy a meal

The drip coffee was good, the bacon was done perfectly, and overall an enjoyable experience. We lucked out because there was a large enough space to accommodate our bigger party. They were pretty busy, but it worked out well and we had a great time.

I had been wanting to try this place for a while and finally go to today. There was good and bad. Went for breakfast and was super disappointed in the coffee — this is a big deal for me and going out for breakfast! I also didn't love that I had to get my own water and coffee. Just not my preference. I had a buttermilk pancake which was not especially good. I liked the outdoor seating area, but overall, I don't intend to go back.

What we had that was good was really good (Cornmeal pancakes were delicious and the French toast was great too) but what wasn’t was really disappointing and that could have easily been avoided. My husband ordered the biscuits and gravy and I can only assume that they had run out of biscuits, as what he got was gravy over a hamburger bun. We would have been completely understanding if our server had let us know they were going to substitute the biscuit out, although we definitely would have chosen to order something else, but no one ever mentioned to us that there would be no biscuit in the biscuits and gravy. There were a couple other pretty obvious substitutions made to our orders, which we were also not told about before the food arrived. I just wish someone had told us up front about the changes that would be made, as we really wanted to like eating here.

It's all outdoors now thus on a dreary windy day it's not wonderful. You get your own coffee refills, cream and sugar. The prices don't reflect this level of service.

From the skepticism of the host, questioning me about whether all my party was there (my husbsnd had to walk slowly), to the mediocre food, to the spotty service, where you must continually request things that should be provided and where you have to get up to get water and coffee from a communal table, yet they want a 20% tip, this place is completely worth passing by. The only good thing was the excellent, though overpriced orange juice.

It’s a very cute place, but it felt like many of the positive reviews are driven more by nostalgia than the actual experience. The food was mediocre at best. I was especially disappointed with the chilaquiles and ended up ordering a second dish because of it. Unfortunately, the service was lacking a lot as well, we were never checked on, and we had to work hard just to get someone’s attention to ask for the bill. I would definitely not come back here

They have the outside porch ambience doing a lot for them, so much so that they really don't care about the taste of their food. We ordered the chilaquiles and mac and cheese, both were just so bad, it spoilt our mood and started the day off so bad. I mean it is one thing to make a dish american-style and call it something else but its another to completely ruin it such that the customers feel cheated ordering it. Soggy tortilla chips covered in this super sweet ketchup-y sauce that even looks so bad, and tasteless mac and cheese is what we paid for. A friend got the fried chicken sandwich which was the only decent thing on the table.

The Good the bad the ugly Good: Atmosphere - cute, rustic outdoor area. Bad: service was very non welcoming to first timers. We almost felt guilty asking for anything and were heavily redirected to go walk and get your own. No available inside seating because staff has taken over the dining room as their closet rack and staging area. Which you will have to pass through if you need the restrooms. Ugly: Food was not good. Terrible bacon. Grits.. an abomination. Bad Mac and cheese. This spot should have a classic American vibe you should feel like you have escaped the hustle and hustle and are getting superb food and service. However it was the opposite. Surrounded by dogs everywhere it felt more like a dog park with a good truck on the back and tables. It has now become a joke for us when breakfast options come up. We will never return. Not even with our dog. Extremely disappointed.

This place used to be really cool. Ive been coming for 20 years. While ago they decided that they didn't want wait staff to serve coffee and creamer anymore. You're now expected to get up and get your own. The best part about going to eat out for breakfast is having somebody fill your coffee cup. What else am I tipping for? The change was probably to help the wait staff get to more people so that more people could enjoy the food and the atmosphere. Some of the waitstaff are nice, but some are mean and shallow. The Food has always been just okay. I come for the back patio where I can bring my dog. But this time around i made the mistake of allowing my dog to lick my Cobb salad plate clean. The waitress said that she would have to throw the bowl away. And she did. I could hear it being tossed in the trash. She said it was in the recycling. I didn't know ceramic was recycled. I think I embarrassed myself a little bit by saying it was ridiculous. But no matter I'm not going to come back here again. I hope you all enjoy the patio and I hope you don't mind getting up every time you want a fresh cup of coffee. But after 20 years I'll be brunching somewhere else. Bye Sam's. Good luck.

I’ve seen so many people stand in long lines for this place so I thought it’d be good. Ordered the Chilaquiles and was extremely disappointed. Color was beautiful, flavor was awful. Too sweet not enough spice. This is what you order when you think you want something Mexican without committing to the actual flavor of the dish. If that sounds like you, then I guess that’s your order. Bacon was good. Coffee was bad. The server with a mauve dress that was helping us seemed like she was in a bad mood which contributed to the overall experience. Also some of the items were overpriced. I’m okay never coming back here again.
