Sam’s Restaurant

Skip his place. Not the place you want to eat. We went with a group of nine and it did not fare well. Out of 3 chicken alfredo’s one was done right and two were noodles in water. My Louisiana style chicken on rice pilaf was bland rice with light flavored chicken. 2 rigatoni’s were ok, nothing special, chop steak was ok and the sirloin was ok. Prices are over priced for the service and the quality of food.

First, lets start with the good stuff–
The menu is quite varied, including standards as well as more unique items like home made corned beef hash. I ordered the «Country Side», a country fried steak, two eggs, and hash browns (6.75) i added wheat toast and was surprised to find it a very good quality toast with whole grains throughout. My wife had the bagel sandwich (4.95). The food was very good. The service was excellent, the server checked on us often, and provided refills quickly.
Now the bad stuff–
I’m unsure if this place has an identity crisis, but it looks like a standard family restaurant, however the walls are plastered with beer signs and posters advertising pitcher specials. Beyond that, the only ambience is provided by a large TV blaring the Regis show. Our table was not terribly clean, grease stains on the placemat, cigarette ashes on the table, etc.
