Food first, thoughts after... I am so glad we stumbled upon this place. Absolutely delicious. I am not much of a burger person but I love burgers made like this. Fresh, handmade and not overly greasy. The sauce was not too overwhelming and paired well. This was easy to digest and honestly I could have sat there and ate two. I really wish they had fries to pair with it. Chips only. For 3 sandwiches and 2 small drinks, our total was $25.08 with $1 tip. Fast service! My burger was made before I paid with the person at the counter as she was trying to get a togo order together. Parking is overall fairly easy. This is a good solid choice for lunch/ dinner. Restaurant was clean and spacious. The layout of the tables were interesting but overall I liked the style. read more

Sam’s Super Samwiches - Cheeseburger, Egg Cheese - Hot Dogs Near Me - Homewood, Alabama

We came on this side of town to have lunch at another restaurant that turned out to be closed. We looked before we can but there was as no warning of early closing today. We then looked for another place and finally found this place. Sometimes things just work out for what's best. The smell of good burgers were smelt before we opened the door. The smell matched the flavor and taste of each bite. My daughter and I both ordered the cheese but I ordered the slaw dog as well for later. We added the sweet tea and everything was pleasing to the tastebuds. The cooks and checkout clerks were friendly held welcoming conversations. When over this way I plan on returning. Again, everything was really good. read more

My dad and I were in the area and couldn't find any restaurants that were open today! Luckily I called Sam's and they were open. I ordered the cheeseburger, chips and fountain drink.

Food was ready right as we were paying. Ingredients were very fresh. There is indoor and outdoor seating available. Street parking. Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Sam's Super Samwiches is a long-standing institution in the Birmingham, Alabama area (Homewood, Alabama to be more specific). They have a reputation for their hot dogs, burgers and sandwiches (though I wish they could learn to spell it in their business name). Pulling in during prime time for lunch, parking was a bit of a challenge, especially with an armored car blocking like six spots for over an hour. After finding a parking spot, I walked into Sam's Super Samwiches and found that it had a cool ambiance with photos of celebrities lining the walls. The staff was extremely friendly. I asked what kind of hot dog they used and I was told it was a pork and beef blend. I went with the hot dog and a cheeseburger. The food came out in pretty much no time flat. The hot dog and the cheeseburger were both pretty good. The total for both was eleven dollars before the tip. The restaurant was pretty small, but it was pleasant enough. I found this to be an overall positive dining experience and I would definitely recommend Sam's Super Samwiches. Come taste what this community has known for awhile as a solid meal. I will give Sam's Super Samwiches five stars overall. If you are in the Homewood, Alabama area, I suggest that you check out Sam's Super Samwiches. read more

Great hot dogs but I am boycotting- no more Sam's for me!!I feel totally taken advantage of- the most expensive hot dogs in town. 17.00 for a slaw, a special, chips and drink. This is 10.99 at Sneaky Pete's. 7.35 at Gus's. read more

Great hot dogs but a little pricey. Chili dogs are good with a dash of red pepper found on the tables. Friendly people. Bright place with lots of history on the walls. I enjoy coming here for old school hot dogs. The burgers are good here too but I come for the dogs. The sauce is a little thicker than most but flavorful. read more

Sam’s Super Samwiches - Chili dog with mustard and chili only. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Homewood, Alabama

The service and the food was top notch. Fair prices to boot. Shut the front door. My new favorite breakfast stop.

First time here, honestly we aren't sure how to rate it. We are more here or there about it. The inside was small but wasn't very busy at the time so it was fine. The service was basically just order and they get the food out when it's done. The food, we ordered a hot dog and Philly cheese steak. They don't have cheese sauce for your hotdog, only sliced cheese they can put on it. The chili has beans, so if you don't like beans, don't get it. The Philly cheesesteak wasn't bad, small but not bad for $11. The meat is a little frozen thing of meat, but they seasoned it well. The cheese pull was pretty nice as you see in the photo. read more

Yeah idk how Sam's Super Samwiches made it on the list of top 5 best hotdog spots in Birmingham. I just tried it for lunch and I ordered a chili dog and a burger. Let's start with the chili dog. First look it looked as if someone just piled wet dog food on top. Like an insanely amount of chili was on this thing. Not to mention it was bland so I basically took a bite into pure mush. The burger it looked good but ended up being extremely bland and the only thing I tasted was the sauce they put on it. I just couldn't finish this. 2/5 from me. Go check this place out. I'll be sticking with Paul's Hotdogs, Gus's Hotdogs, and Tony's Hotdogs from now on. Take Sam's off that top 5 list and put Paul's in that spot. read more

This is a great little find in SoHo (Homewood, AL). Breakfast sandwich's are made fresh to order and are delicious. Staff is very courteous and friendly. The shop is very clean. I highly recommend it. read more

Food, service and you feel at home here anytime one visits. Breakfast, dogs, & burgers. All great

A great place to eat that's in the heart of Homewood. I like a burger or hotdog , but my wife will always go for the Hot Ham and Cheese sandwich. Everyone is so nice and friendly to everyone and they always make us feel welcome. After you eat, don't forget to take time to walk around and shop at the variety of shops in the heat of Homewood. read more

Great Homewood sandwich shop (really it's a burger shop but they make good breakfast sandwiches - my fav is the bologna, egg & cheese).

My good buddy always mentioned this spot and I'm so glad I finally checked it out last Saturday. I instantly loved the Queen Mother of the spot and how she fawns over her customers. I wanted to hug her as we talked about family and health and just hanging on in there! The vibe in the place feels like a spot Seinfeld or Larry David might visit weekly. You can tell that it has regulars and that you might become one from the moment you walk in. Although I was born in Alabama, I lived in NJ for several years. There's something about this place that reminds me of those sandwich spots owned by generations of families from all over the world that made America home. Thanks to those Jersey memories, I admit I was skeptical about the bun. I'm used to breakfast sandwiches being on Kaiser rolls that are crusty and thick. "This ain't Jersey!" the bun seemed to say. "Mind your business and eat!" So I did and it was a perfect, little sandwich. I'm picky about my eggs: no loose whites with runny yolks. He nailed it! And that bacon is pure YUM! I didn't even need the ketchup that I put on it out of habit. I'll be back for another sandwich (maybe tomorrow) and I'll be at the MS Walk in April. Such a great family and a gem for Homewood! And yes, the bacon is the best (you were right Mr. Customer behind me!) so you might as well buy a pack on your way home! read more

Sam’s Super Samwiches - Egg over easy! - Hot Dogs Near Me - Homewood, Alabama

Good food and very nice service. The chili hotdogs are good, however, I wish they sold fries.

This is such a fun lunch. I got the all beef hot dog with coke slaw on the side. It was amazing, so fresh and simple but just what I was craving. They also have good crushed ice which is so satisfying. The staff is extremely friendly. read more

This place is old school barebones and beautiful. Guys behind the counter are on top of it (just get all the way) and food always comes out hot and fresh. Their burgers are delicious and extremely affordable. Something about their beef is super fresh...get it. Great burger, good people, and real old school down to earth experience. Will be returning for breakfast. read more

Decent prices, delicious food, cute venue. It's a small location, but it's very cute. How people are so nice to each other in this place and will move their purse or scoot over a couple of chairs so you and Frank could sit together in a great location. I will admit some of the staff are not happy and you feel it. But God bless them, we have no idea what they're dealing with. read more

Super breakfast sandwich. I have enjoyed visiting here many times over the last year. friendly staff. Fast food. Fresh and delicious.

Great Hot Dog of course I ate every bite. Very homey atmosphere. Its very clean and was busy when I was there.

5 stars!!! Perfect chili dogs! I always love this place. The atmosphere is really fun and lots to look at. Always playing some games on TV. Plenty to enjoy here! read more

This Homewood institution is much beloved by many and for good reason. If you're looking for a bougie brunch or a fancy breakfast, this place will not deliver. However, what you will get is a delicious hot breakfast and lunch, delivered quickly and with a smile. You'll have the pleasure of hearing your bacon pop and your eggs sizzle. And finally, you'll satisfy those high-carb, high fat, not-great-for-you cravings we all have. First, let me say that Sam's can fix anything for breakfast and it will be amazing and delicious. Somehow it's all better here, like when your mom made you breakfast. And finally - my guilty pleasure - the chili dogs. Oh my - these will take you back to when you first had a chili dog from a street vendor - hot with spicy chili and mustard (they'll even put that on first if you ask). So run, don't walk to Sam's Super Samwiches!!! Get you an egg sandwich or a chili dog and be happy for the rest of the day!! read more

Keeping up with top notch service and consistent with food quality. Sam's continues to stay true. Prices are unmatched.

A B'ham classic with exceptional dogs, every time. The hot beef is delectable. As is the super cheese, all the way. Whenever I'm in town, I make a trip or two to Sam's. The new location has plenty of space and good lighting. Food served quick. read more

My neighbor wanted hot dogs for lunch. We agreed if he drove, I would pick up the lunch tab. I ordered 4 hot dogs - to be specific - 4 slaw dogs with beef sauce poured on them. 2 bags of chips, and 2 fountain drinks. The total amount with tax, but before tip on my credit card - $31.88. $16 bucks for 2 hot dogs , a bag of chips and a drink! My neighbor says. "No way"! I really could not believe it myself until I opened my Chase app and confirmed the total cost. I am in shock at the cost of this hot dog meal. I will not be returning. Gezz, I don't see how places like this stay open with prices like this. Regarding the food itself - Buns were very fresh - but the beef sauce on the hot dogs - the temperature was not even close to being warm. Maybe tepid room temperature at best. Not a hot dog I want to have again. read more

Sam's is a long time fixture in Homewood. After the death of Sam and a spat with the old landlord, they are open in a new location. Great dogs, friendly service, highly recommended. read more

Great breakfast Sammy's. Fast service. Will absolutely go again on my next trip to Birmingham.

The best breakfast sandwich in town! Bacon, egg, and cheese! The hotdogs and hamburger are good. The hot club sandwich is fantastic! And the Cedric nachos with beef sauce, all the way (minus onions) is fire! Good people, great food. read more

The food is great. I have been eating here for over 45 years. The staff are amazing and friendly. Still loved the old location but the new location is better for more guests. read more

Yo this place is a gem! I never went to the original sams sandwiches location. One day my girlfriend decided to take me for breakfast one day! When you arrive you will see a wall of pictures sam has taken with customers over the years. I ordered the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. It was so good! I wanted to go back for another. So the next day i wake up wanting sams again! This time i ordered a hotdog and it was good as well. Not pricey at all very reasonable. It's def worth stopping by for a sandwich! read more

Consistently great restaurant with incredible bang for your buck. Don't sleep on the Slaw Dog (I would say it's the perfect hotdog but that would be cheating on my other favorite, the Special Dog). read more

The best food, service, and ambiance in town. Slaw dog, regular dog, and burger are my favorites . Sammy was the legend and the family tradition lives on! read more

Love the sauce! Favorites are slaw dog and special dog! Did not know they served chili in the fall- can't wait to try some! Was great to see Paul back- like old times! read more

I really wanted to love this place! Everything on the menu looked good, I had such a hard time deciding what to order. I went with a hot beef sandwich and a grilled cheese. I mean a sandwich shop must have a killer grilled cheese, right? No! Neither sandwich was worth anything and they gave me the wrong chips. I would not recommend. read more

Listen here and hear me out. If you're wanting a craft specialty, completely unique crazy out of this world sandwich, burger, etc.... This isn't it. Which is totally perfect. However they make the basics PERFECT and at a fantastic price. Came in for the lunch rush right at 11:30 and there was a line. But took no time to clear (about 5 min). Their sandwiches come PACKED with meat. Their burgers are a perfect basic burger with good size. Overall fantastic place. read more

Went today, unfortunately it's really gone downhill since Sam passed. While the new location is top notch, you can tell the meats isn't high quality like it used to be, bland and not as generous with toppings. Been even worse with out the old staff that worked with Sam for years. Hate to see it. Sam used to be a staple. read more

First, and last, visit. Strike one, and two- the guy handling my hotdog w/o gloves, then sticking his hand in the bucket of onions to add those. Strike three, the rude girl, who seemed annoyed and inconvenienced to be taking my money without a "thank you", or any response to me telling her thank you. Oh, and what constitutes "small" vs "large" chips? All the bags on the wall are same, you'd pay the same for them all at the convenience store- I asked for two drinks and one bag of chips to go along with main items, and was charged the large bag price (1.85). $4.90 for two regular drinks?? Cmon, get real here. Overpriced, rude, and horrendous food handling standards. read more
