    Sammy's House Breakfast , 2 eggs , 2 bacon   Potatoes and toast for like 10.99
    Guillermo M.

    Cool fiber type restaurant , lots of choices for food , from American to Mexican choices . Most look decently priced . Friendly staff , food came out fairly quickly as well . I'm not sure about the others but this one also sells beer . Only downfall I felt was the place had a scent of old and or cleaning products (looks like an old dennys) . Other than that I'd come back or visit one of the other sammys

    3x3 platter option with ham
    Stephanie L.

    I ate at Sammy's Cafe today and had the 3x3 breakfast for $19.99. Great value and definitely shareable. It came with 3 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausage, choice of country potatoes or hash browns, and choice of 1/2 order of chocolate chip pancake, banana French toast, strawberry waffle, and one other option. I really enjoyed the banana French toast. I ate it without syrup. The country potatoes were lightly seasoned, which I loved. My eggs, sausage, ham, and bacon were all cooked perfectly. I would definitely get this meal again but share it because I didn't even eat half of it. The service was really great. They sat us quickly and took our drink order right away. Not long after, they came back to take our order and our food was out within 10min. The inside of the restaurant could use a serious face lift. The seat cushioning is kinda warm and low to the ground but still ok to sit on. This place would be great if you needed to seat a large part because it's very spacious inside. Consider checking this place out. They have a large diner menu.

    The chicken pot pie is huge and delicious! Food is always good and always good service.

    Enchilada plate w/ rice and beans
    Bienvenido A.

    Had my plate of enchilada (brunch) a couple of days ago. Delicious beef, rice and beans still fresh on my pallet (much better than others I've tried). So is the menudo my wife ordered. One of the best if not the best I've tried in a while. Very comfortable at home feeling eating a meal. Staff were nice and warm. Often come around and checked on us. Much appreciated. Looking forward to try more entries on the menu.

    If you are an early riser like me then this is the place to go to for breakfast . Dine in opens at 6:30 am. No long waits and get seated right away. Today is my BFF's bday so celebration time before going to work. We both had the Nick's Omelette with olives, tomatoes, cheese, potatoes, bacon bits topped with sour cream and avocado slices and a side of home fries and toasts. First time I tried this dish and not disappointed. It's a large serving and omelette was seasoned well and very savory and for sure very filling.

    We came here for a women's luncheon on Tuesday and had a group of about 25 ladies! We had excellent service and the food was delicious! They serve breakfast all day and there were lots of meal options! Fresh made food and homemade ranch! What could be better?! Everyone in our group was happy which is not always the case with a large group! Their cinnamon rolls were a hit and several ladies got them to go! Definitely go if you're in the area!

That's shows true value and appreciation for every customer. To me, service is everything. That deserves earning an extra star. I will try them out 1x more and give them a review based on the 2nd experience. I have a serious problem when you call an establishment to tell how poor quality the food was they made and they're not apologetic. I have another issues, when I have to drive all the way back to the establishment and I request they remake the entire meal and they say only if all the food is returned. With this inedible burger, are you serious. The rest of the food was only ok. This is not our choice place and we've never tried it until today, but based on the service and the fact the cook knows they burnt this and still served it means we'll never eat here again! I changed my review to 3 stars because the Second Lady who helped me in the drive through offered to remake the entire order. I told her I don't need compensation like that, just remake my child's meal. She's the only reason this review went to 3 stars because nothing else about the experience was pleasant.

Does a few things and does them well. Their sauce is top notch, burgers have a nice char, and the ingredients are fresh. Know what you are getting going in.

Highly suggest paying the extra 50¢ to get their house sauce on the side. Will be combining back for a quick lunch!

    First off, this joint survives because it's convenient for the neighborhood. That's really what…read morekeeps it alive. The place is filthy and looks like no one ever cleans it. The dining area appears to be a patio that was converted into an enclosed seating area. You can still see the original pillars and brickwork, which don't match the rest of the decor. There was also a car show flyer taped to the front door for an event in Riverside that happened last October. That's just lazy. How hard is it to clean up and remove outdated signs? To me, that's an indicator of a lazy staff, and I don't want a lazy staff preparing my food. The guy at the order window is short with customers and rushes you while ordering. He won't make substitutions, either. The problem is that he's also the gatekeeper for all the condiments and napkins. The dining area is basically just a box with a trash can, you don't have access to anything yourself. Whatever he decides to give you is what you get. There's no room for discussion. Now for the FOOD I ordered three chicken-fried burgers, and there was absolutely no consistency between them. I added pickles to all three, but one burger had only a single pickle. One burger was as dry as the Dead Sea, with no mayonnaise at all. Another had the right amount of mayonnaise, but the lettuce was mostly white stems. Goldilocks wouldn't be able to find a burger that was "just right" at this place. The fries were a mix of undercooked and burnt, which is impressive in all the wrong ways. The portion was also ridiculously small. For the price of the combo, you'd think they could provide a reasonable amount of fries. As for the chicken-fried patty itself, it was paper-thin, about as thick as two quarters stacked together. I like my chicken thick, like my wife's Mexican booty. Overall, don't go out of your way to stop here. If you don't live nearby, there's nothing worth writing home about. They're incredibly stingy with their portions, condiments, and napkins. I've eaten in some real dumps before. Hell, I've eaten kangaroo, raw beef, and even camel while sitting on the floor and eating with my hands, and those experiences beat this place. Save your money and go to Red Robin, or even walk across the street to Pizza Loca.
