You know they are a good breakfast spot when people are waiting at 6:15 for doors to open. We had…read morebreakfast here a few years ago and enjoyed it; wanted to go back but we don't eat breakfast often. Prices were higher this time, understandably. They are still better priced on a basic breakfast than other places nearby. I wanted to try their eggs Benedict even though I've only ever had it maybe 2-3 times in my life! I'm not a good person to judge since I'm not really sure what hollandaise should taste like! It was more tangy tart than I expected. The eggs were cooked the way they should be and the ham was thick. In my memory, it should've had a stronger ham flavor, as I think Canadian bacon is the traditional meat and I was hoping for that. But even eating a piece of the thick ham by itself, I couldn't taste a salty smoked ham flavor. While I found that disappointing, I couldn't take a star away because visually it looked great, and I imagine a lot of people would love to see that thick slice of ham even if it is too mild! Don't judge it by my photo because I broke my yolks and stirred them up before I remembered to take a photo. The grits (my choice of side) were just like I like them. My husband got a 2 eggs breakfast with home fries (?) sausage and toast. It was a full plate of food and he enjoyed it. They have home made strawberry jam (yum!) and I will for sure get breakfast with toast or biscuits next time just so I can have some of that jam. I did put a little bit of jam on a couple bites of my English muffin from under my Benedict. The coffee mug was tall so my husband appreciated that; and the friendly & attentive server, Melissa, filled it before empty, as needed. We will be back "sooner than later" hopefully, because there's more I want to try on their menu. I do recommend going here for breakfast especially if you are an early bird or find yourself out and about very early for some reason like we were, and need a breakfast. I think they might get crowded quickly, so early is better. Note that their hours were not accurate on the iPhone maps app - I submitted correct hours and it's pending approval. However I used the website hours and one of their days I think it was Sunday - was showing closed at 1 but it's actually 1:30.

This has become one of our favorite restaurants in the area. Today we had a lunch special and a…read morebreakfast. Both were delicious. The meatloaf was very good and came with a bbq glaze and some bbq sauce on the two slices. The mashed potatoes are real, you can tell because they leave the skins on! My wife also had an order of the potato pancakes with applesauce. Those were fabulous! Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, done beautifully. They also provide a small bowl of applesauce which was very good and we appreciated the amount. I had tow biscuits with gravy, two scrambled eggs, and hash browns. In my opinion, they have the best biscuits and gravy in the area. Gravy has plenty of flavor and the biscuits are soft and flaky on the inside, yum. Chasity was our server and she was fantastic! Got our order right, checked back to make sure everything was good, and offered good conversation.

Sam's Subs in Port Charlotte -- A True Mom-and-Pop Gem!…read more Sam's Subs is one of those quaint, locally owned food spots that you're so happy to discover! They serve high-quality sandwiches, homemade soups, delicious baked cookies, brownies, and cheesecake. We stopped in for cold sandwiches and were pleasantly surprised to find that French fries or fried mushrooms were available as side options. And let me tell you... everything was delicious! The fries were crispy, hot, made fresh, and the meat was a hearty portion. What made our visit even more special was getting to meet the owner and enjoy a personal visit while we dined. You can truly feel the pride and care that goes into this little shop. And one detail that really stood out to me: the walls are dedicated to the true heroes who wear dog tags. It adds such a meaningful and heartfelt touch to the atmosphere. I highly recommend stopping by Sam's Subs if you're in Port Charlotte! I'll definitely be back to try some of their other subs and club sandwiches. And yes... a special order for extra-crispy bacon on my club sandwich? Absolutely! Great food, great people, and a place with heart.

Horrible service. Smart ass teenager bullshit. Ordering a sandwich let alone a combo was a hassle. Not one Veteran on staff. Pretty sure the owner is/was not a Fireman. Was told by a teenager that "Business was business". Fuck that shit. Sandwich was no bigger than my thumb and forefinger. Paid $18.63 and still left hungry. Worse than average service. No wonder why it was empty when myself and ,my wife went in. We will never go back. Steer clear people. read more
