Make sure to ask about or look at the daily special menu - saved us some money on the tenders - Thursday special $10.99. I got the honey garlic parmesan bliss sauce on my tenders - quite tasty. Tiny place - only three tables basically. Would go back.

Keen to stop by as I saw a lot of good reviews for this place. Me and my partner are both love…read moreburgers so we were excited to come try. Really fun atmosphere, black and neon old school type of design. Prices were pretty good for the amount of food that you get! We had to wait a little bit before seating but there was a little fun arcade section so time passed a little bit. For the food Jalapeño burger - 7/10 It was a good burger, but there was nothing spicy about it. It tasted more like a great plain smash burger than anything. Retro blitz - 7/10 The two burgers tasted the same there was nothing two different to be honest that we could tell from eating. We added some dipping sauces to change up the flavor and the dipping sauces are pretty good. They're just on the little expensive side. You were able to choose any of the wings, sauces and get them on the side. Overall, a pretty great place if we were in the area and craving burgers would definitely stop by here again

It was neither dry nor fat, but a perfect balance. Plenty of burnt ends For those who really enjoy them like us. The sides were copious. We came here for usual Friday night, date night as we had been looking at this place for a while. We have not seen a barbecued joint in this area for a long time, as we are swamped with Shawarma places. We were surprised at the generous amounts being served, and the prices being very fair. Everything tasted fresh. The place was very clean, new. The staff were very courteous and attentive, without being obtrusive. The food came quickly, and hot. You may want to try the gold sauce if you have a need for heat, it was certainly that hot. We will definitely return to this place as our go to barbeque house, for brisket. We might try the chicken next time.

While standing in the long lineup to get into Sammy's for Sunday brunch (note that this place is…read morebetter to visit on a weekday) I met a nice lady who told me she has had two knee replacements. Sadly there was no chair for her to sit down on yet it didn't stop her from going to her regular spot for a Sunday brunch. She told me that she has been coming here for many years, even before it was called Sammy's. Has it been 30 years, she asked herself? Either way, she made it known that she is quite the regular. Very nice and friendly lady. These are the types of regulars that make the diner what it is. There is a sign in clipboard at the front, as soon as you walk in. You have to sign in as part of contact tracing in case there is an outbreak of COVID linked back to this establishment. Make sure you do not block the pathway from behind the bar, I didn't block it but a large family with several kids needed a place to stand in line and wait for a big table, because servers will get very mad at you and tell you "I NEED TO GET BY! DON'T BLOCK THE WAY!" But there is no where to stand when the lineup is 20 people deep. This is something to think about once the weather gets colder and there is a long lineup out the door. Perhaps takeout would be a better option than to be yelled at by the short haired waitress with tattoos? While I did not mind waiting and I had a book to occupy my time in the lineup and at the table before I was given the menu, I could see that this was obviously a rush time, prime time lunchtime at the diner, maybe others might be a little more impatient than me? I could watch a snail crawl for hours, patience is a virtue. The wait is very long to get seated and even longer to get food. While the food was pretty good, and the other server was very friendly, attentive and nice, I think they were short staffed that day and nothing is ever as instant as fast food. My advice would be to go here when you have the time to wait. Don't come here if you are in a rush. It's better to only come here when you have lots of time to wait.

Sammy's has warm, welcoming and hard-working staff; they seemed genuinely happy to be working there. The food is diner quality, except for the flaming saganaki OPA! Lovely ambiance with the sociable patrons, comfortable booths and lovely decor (please see pics). WE ORDERED: - Liver and onions with bacon was pretty good; judging by the comments made by hubby, we will be coming back for this. - Side Salad - lettuce was limp, not the freshest. I would recommend getting a different side. - Saganaki - not only was this a yummy appetizer, the show was entertaining. Just make sure to let the staff know if you want to takes pictures or take a video beforehand; I forgot to tell our waitress, so by the time I whipped out my camera, the show was over. Oh well, live and learn.

But..... my gosh. The dishes looked nice. My niece said her food was okay. Her cousin said his food was overcooked. My dish was trash, my gosh, I couldn't stomach the taste. The salmon was tough, tasted bad, rank. The seasoning was weird and didn't pair well. It had some kinda spice that tasted odd. I don't even know what to say about it. But later that night I was throwing up well into the morning. I only eat possibly 3-4 small bites, most of the dish was left back. I still tipped and didn't complain as I just wanted the kids to have a nice night without arguing with whoever. As I write this I am reminded of the disgusting taste. NEVER again for that dish! Now that I think about it I honestly shouldn't have tipped. Paying for that dish was already above and beyond!

It was layered with a light crisp of cheese on the outside but creamy inside. The flavour was nice and tasted like carbonara! It's a bit pricey - $18 for a small. Portions were ok, the small is enough for a one person meal. I also got to try the BBQ chicken mac and cheese. It was a bit dry and heavy on the BBQ sauce. Not a personal favourite but it does pair nicely. There is limited seating outside. It's more of a take away spot. I don't think they sell drinks or provide water either. It took about 15 minutes to receive our order. The sever at the counter was really nice!

House of Fries existed in my stomping grounds until a Yelp experience drew my attention to it. I had such a positive experience that I returned for more good eats! This eatery is a few doors down from Federick Restaurant, which offers Indian and Chinese cuisines. One of these days, I'll drop in. This eatery is on the southeast corner of Markham Road and Karachi Drive. Costco (Markham east, as this city has two) is a couple of blocks away. I had no problem locating this place during my first visit. There was lots of parking. I backed into one and headed inside. I've had no problems returning, either! I was the only customer in this eatery at around 6:15 pm. It was great being able to take a few pictures. Staff are extremely kind and helpful. A male staffee guided me through the ordering process. I was getting a pound of wings. He pulled out the menu and said that I could choose a flavour from the extensive list. I had already reviewed the list beforehand (I'm not kidding about loving wings) and went with honey dill. He was pleased that I knew what I wanted sauce-wise. The next step was selecting fries. I went with Mexican. I asked if I could get the sour cream omitted. He said yes. Yay! I ordered the same thing last week, but online through this eatery's site. It was simple. I paid online and drove over here to pick up my order. This place is on Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Skip the Dishes. I like the online site ordering better. The canned drinks are excellent. I love the Crush line. I've had the cream soda and grape so far. This place has exotic pop drinks, such as Fanta pineapple. I knew that I'd like it here! I've never dined here. If you order at the eatery, the wings-fries combo takes fifteen minutes to make. I was good. I took a seat at a table for two. I watched the pre-game show between the Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks. The man let me know that my order was ready. It didn't feel like fifteen minutes had passed! I thanked him for his help and wished him a good evening. He wished me the same. I happily left with my dinner. For my online order, it was ready when I got to this eatery. I picked up my food, thanked the man, and left. I put my food in my insulated bag and drove home. I was looking forward to chowing down. The wings looked plump and thoroughly sauced. The honey dill sauce was whitish with lots of dill specks. It was almost as if raw honey was being used. It reminded me of the dill sauce that you get at St. Louis Bar & Grill, but I liked this one better. It was slightly sweet. I loved the dill. Each wing had the perfect amount of sauce without making it soggy. The wings were crispy and juicy. I got maybe more drums than flats. They were delicious. I want more. I thought that I wouldn't be able to finish the Mexican fries. Nope, I did. They were yummy. The fries had cheddar cheese, onions, tomatoes, taco seasoning, ranch, and roasted garlic seasoning. The cheddar cheese was melted and crispy in spots. I loved getting a bite of everything with the best fries underneath. The fries were long and had the skin on, which I loved. I am normally not a fries person, likely because they aren't special as a side. However, if you load them up with delicious ingredients, I'll love them, which happened here. I was so stuffed after both meals. They were excellent. I am constantly dreaming about returning for more. I saw on the menu that this place has wraps. It will be tough for me to order one, because the wings and fries have my heart. It's nice that there's another solid wing place in Markham for me to frequent regularly. It's becoming my go-to wing place to get my fix. (220)
