No bad for an old people place! This is by far the best old people restaurant in the area. The food is very good, its priced right and you get generous portions. I had the London Broil special and my husband had the butt steak. Both came with either soup or salad, really good bread and a potato. The butt steak was a little better then the london broil and they had about 4 different potato choices. The saginicki appetizer was awesome. We went there at 7:00 during the week and didnt have to wait for a table. The service was great.

This place is nice good food the salmon was done to perfection not dry not greasy, moist. Drinks are good too. My friends had the cat fish broiled they loved it. One friend had the tilapia, she also had it broiled. Everyone was pleased. The waitress was nice but seemed to be a little miffed when we requested separate checks. I apologize for the inconvenience. People want their own check. I have been here before and some waitress was very rude, and I stopped coming here. My experience this time was better.

We just got home for a memorial lunch for my dear grandma that my father hosted. I had called a day in advance and ask for a table for some treats I was bringing. I got there and no table was set up. The owner had such a shitty attitude when I set the cakes down on a table. And the staff was not friendly at all. My father spent over 800 dollars and our family didn't deserve to be treated like that. I will never step foot in that place again!!!!!

Good affordable food, low key atmosphere and always polite tenured and attentive waitstaff. Not enough places like this left.

Don't be deceived but the exterior this place is just like grandmas. Absolutely Delicious!! Brings back childhood memories of Sunday dinner with the family. The soup is amazing and you have to try the stuffed mushrooms the best I've ever had. You can tell things are homemade. The service is wonderful too. This will go on our normal rotation for sure.

Have not been back there in over a year. Because one time we were there and while the food is OK, nothing special, when it was served the waitress was carrying the tray on her shoulder and her hair was dragging in the plate closest to her neck. Told her about it and while she denied it she allegedly got us another plate of food. Went back there a couple of months later and the same thing happened. When we told her she said that her hair was not in the food. Well two of us saw it. The owner was there and we saw her talking to him and he never even came over to talk with us. Very poor service. Have not been back and will not be. Health department rule is that servers hair is to be restrained or kept from contaminating food.

I have always heard that this place was great. I don't know....third time I have been there and I have learned to order sandwiches only. Their entrees are not good, and I would rather spend a little bit more and get better food. Had the lamb chops once, not good and not cheap. The food is just not very good. Had a grilled cheese, even that I could make better myself. The soup, thick and creamy with nothing in it. The salad, yuck, old and nothing. The fries are coated like you get at Arby's. I am giving it one star because the service is wonderful. Maybe at one time it was good, but I have never had a good meal here. Went there because it was close and we were pressed for time, but usually I avoid this place.

Standard food at standard prices. A solid choice if you live nearby.

I ordered a Reuben hear and was given a pile of mush. It was 2 pieces of bread layer flat on the plate with roast beef, and sauerkraut thrown on top of it. When I went to eat the as which it fell apart because the bread was so soaked in grease. When I called the waitress over and asked if I could get a new sandwich, she gave me attitude and after a talk, finally brought me a new sandwich, which was quite good. A relative of mine also ordered the Reuben and received the same pile of mush. Overall, the food is just okay, the waitresses are okay, but the manager was very apologetic. I do not recommend his place. The cooks were sloppy with all 3 meals our party ordered. I hope you find this review helpful.

The next time you dine at Sam's (especially lunch) try their patty melt. One of the best sandwiches I've had anywhere. Good quality burger cooked as ordered with grilled onions, melted cheese, on rye bread. It's a calorie buster but VERY tasty!

Normally, a place that has a 3' x 2' Jim Beam sign in the front foyer would lead me to believe its going to be a pretty good time. However, this is your pretty standard suburban diner. Herds of retiree's at lunch (well there were the last 4 times I've been for lunch with the Big Z). And there usually is about 5-10 of them up at the bar getting the afternoon started off right (for them I guess the new 11pm is 11am). They have daily specials and a pretty decent sized regular menu. Lunch type sandwiches are ~$5 and the regular lunch menu item can range up to $12. Service has always been pleasant (and even a bit sassy/interesting at times!). I usually go here about once very 2 months for lunch.

Yes, Sam's is a big hit with the Senior Crowd (the Senior Center is right next door) but damn if the food isn't pretty good and the drinks are quick and strong. Just don't go before 5:30 - the place is PACKED with the early bird crowd. Have the Italian Chopped Steak - better yet, take your grandma to dinner!
