We noticed this restaurant a couple weeks ago when driving east on foothill, it's kind of hidden so we decided to stop. I'm so happy we did. They are like the diners that aren't around anymore, they offer a great variety of food options. I love turkey dinner and was happy it was on their menu, It was delicious and the portion was very generous, I was happy to have leftovers. Their prices are very reasonable and offer daily specials. We have since returned and again our food and service was excellent. We live about 20 minutes away and the drive was well worth it. It's nice to find a restaurant with good home style meals. read more

Sammy's has a great menu and friendly staff. It's one of our first choices for breakfast.

The food is good. The waiters give ok service. We would drive to this location twice a month. This last two times they would not sit us because we had a stroller. They sat 15 white older couples before us. Im latin so I didn't expect that from a all latin staff. I blew a fuse when they sat a white man in a electrical chair. This place is certainly not stroller friendly!!! read more

Love coming here for breakfast. The staff is very friendly highly recommend this place for a good brunch

This was my first time eating here with my daughter. The place has good business. The pork sausage and pancakes were delicious. The service was also wonderful. My next visit here will be with my son. Looking forward to it. read more

The Claremont location is the best. Always friendly and Efficient and have not been disappointed with serving sizes prices and food

This place never disappoints. Hidden gem. Awesome breakfast, lunch & dinner. Delivery from DoorDash when thier app works (which is 50/50). Only complaint is I wish they had a business line for take out orders directly. Everything we have tried on the menu is incredible. Thank you Sammy's and keep the quality and affordability and we will keep coming back. read more

Seen sammys for awhile but never came by till recently. Overall looks like a nice basic diner with all kinds of food . Came in for breakfast and ordered the Azteca breakfast that said "new" , and it was really good . It was scrambled eggs with chorizo and nopales (cactus ) with pico de Gallo , beans with home potatoes and a grilled jalapeño, breakfast was really good , service was great , will be back for lunch or dinner one day read more

Delicious Cafe! Wonderful Staff and service. They hands down have the Best Chilaquiles! I've tried both the Green and Red Sauce/Ranchero style and they are amazing. The crepes are also a MUST! read more

Always good food, always good service. Quick to sit, quick to take drinks, and bring them out. Quick to order and get food. Have not had anything bad yet. Glad they brought the santa Barbara blast back. Breakfast and lunch are good(havent had a dinner plate yet. Mexican food is good, I like their chips. Decor is nice, but since its newish the seats are a bit hard. Clean tables, clean restroom. Fair prices. I recommend. I come here often, and nothing has made me want to stay away. read more

Great spot!!! It's a vintage diner type place and mostly Mexican food. The flavor was really really good. My friend got three Chile verde omelet and I got the breakfast torta which was also killer. We'll be back for sure. read more

Had the BEST albondigas soup! All of their soups are homemade, but this one knocked my socks off! SO good!!

Came here because my daughter had a football game near the restaurant. We love diner food so we decided to check it out. We got the typical breakfast diner stuff. Breakfast quesadilla, waffles, and French toast. It was good. We'll come back and try other items off the menus. The service was nice. Got seated right away. Our server was attentive and nice. The place was clean. Can't complain. But wasn't really WOW'd. read more

We went in to have lunch Iunch and we noticed right away it was very warm. We mentioned to a worker and she said she would ck on ot and we never saw her again and air never came on. We could see other people saying stuff and lady by us fanning herself. Not an enjoyable lunch, won't be back for awhile anyways. read more

Good place for a simple breakfast. They have a new sandwich which was really good. Crisp bacon, fresh sliced tomatoes on grilled sourdough bread with parmesan cheese. Also omelets are really good, the Mexican one with fresh salsa on it, was tasty. Only complaint was old ice tea with bad taste to it. read more

Best Chile relleno! Nice restaurant with a good atmosphere for family dining. Polite staff who knows the regular customers. I'd recommend this place to anyone. So glad my aunts took me here to eat read more

Nothing really to say about it. Food was ok. Service was ok. Was to many things on the menu. I got 4 different menus! I was overwhelmed with choices. Food output was slow. But I wouldn't say it's a bad place to go. Just not a home run in my book. read more

Sammy's Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Upland, California

Our go to place for family and friends. The food is always great but what's so difficult to find is the attentive staff that work there. I appreciate each and every one and I recognize we're frequently a pain in the b--t, read more

My husband and I now frequent Sammy's on a regular basis. They have the best Chile rellenos in town. Their Mexican food tastes authentic and is always enough to get full on. Great prices, very reasonable. Peaceful atmosphere with quiet retro music in background. The waitress Daniella is very sweet and always remembers the specifics of what we like to order. Sammy's is our "go to" place. You won't be disappointed because they aim to please. read more

So I ordered breakfast off the senior menu it said 6.79 for bacon and eggs when I get there to pick up my order this is what I paid 9.69 lets just say false advertising! 1 they did not make my order as I asked for off the senior menu when I get there it was off the regular menu. Had to have it changed to senior menu and was still charged more than I expected off the online menu. When I complained about it the answer was those price's are from 5 years ago, so why haven't they been changed, no answer? Lure in seniors with cheaper prices than what you expect to pay really shoddy way to bring in business especially during a Pandemic!! Wont be going back the food is par for the course for any Cafe type diner. read more

Victor and the rest of the wonderful staff at Sammy's keeps me going every Saturday. If you are finding it hard to choose from such a huge menu, just ask the servers. They know what is best!!! read more

There are two Sammy's. The restaurants were started by three bus boys that worked together at another restaurant. They are very attentive, respectful and just plain kind and gracious. The food is really good and the price is good. My favorite is the Chile Verde omelet. I always leave with a smile on my face. read more

Our favorite casual place to eat. Excellent service and their Mexican food menu is amazing. They serve breakfast all day and they have extremely reasonable prices. The breakfast to lunch servers are so friendly and they remember their customers. The place is kept really clean and the booths are comfortable. We eat here about once a week or more. Saturdays and Sunday mornings are the busiest times and there might be a wait but it's worth it! read more

Ample parking, very good service, competitive prices, food quality is good. Portion sizes are one of the reasons for 3 and not more stars. When compared to competition I think the portions are smaller in comparison. I've eaten breakfast and lunch here several times but never dinner. The weekday breakfast special at only $4.99 is hard to beat. Coffee is good, biscuits and gravy are good not great. The breakfast potatoes are only fair and lack some flavor that could be added with maybe some onion and or bell pepper in the mix. When you need a meal at a reasonable price and no frills this place ain't bad. Consistently good service is one of most positives I would say for this place. read more

We have been going to Sammy's since they opened, we have been following one of their servers for many years now. It is nice to go into a business, be recognized and the server to remember what you like to order. It is also convenient when our server keeps our coffee cups full. The breakfast is served fast and properly cooked. Walt B read more

This is a fairly new restaurant. Went for breakfast and it was very good. had the country morning breakfast which was an open face biscuit topped with two sausage patties, eggs and country gravy served with breakfast potatoes. it was more than I could finish. The service was great, the place is clean with some outside seating overlooking Foothill Blvd., which makes for some good car/people watching. I think their coffee could be better. read more

I have had sammys twice the first time I got the country fried steak and eggs. the country gravy was good. The second time I ordered the roast beef open faced sandwich which was terrible with horrid mashed potatoes could not eat it. The roast beef was swimming in gravy and the pool was Olympic sized. I don't like having to roll a dice when choosing menu items disappointing. read more

Sherry's smile made my day. I came in feeling a bit down. Sherry said she's not having it. That made my Denver Omelet taste much better. Love the free wifi. Love u Sherry read more

Service was perfect. Food was unimpressive - at least for lunch. If I ever came again, it would be for breakfast. The atmosphere was clean, but felt very "new-business". I dunno. It lacks that homey feel that I like about breakfast places. read more

Let me just start by saying that one star is generous for this place. Unfortunately Yelp does not allow you to rate a place with no stars otherwise that's what Sammy's would get. The man who seated and served me spoke terrible English sprinkled with Spanish words that I couldn't understand (Not what one would expect at an rip off of an American diner). I'm clearly a Caucasian man who wouldn't understand Spanish so why use it with me? He also seemed annoyed by my questions about the menu items. If that wasn't bad enough, the food was sub par at best. It all tasted like food that has been frozen for far too long. I ordered the salmon with a salad and baked potato. The salad was just ok (obviously pre plated and refrigerated all day). I was really looking forward to the baked potato and salmon but when my meal arrived it was a great disappointment. The salmon was terribly over cooked and I was given mashed potatoes covered with the type of gravy that comes with biscuits and gravy...FAIL! When I asked about why I didn't get a baked potato, I was told that they don't serve baked potatoes until 5 PM. That would've been nice to know when I ordered. Needless to say I will never come here again and I would recommend that you do yourself a favor and bypass this place altogether so you don't make the same mistake I did. read more

Took my daughter there for dinner very enjoyable, she had the French dip with french fries very tasty enough leftover for another meal, I had the pork chops they were a little tough very flavorful they came with french fries carrots and broccoli delicious and a salad very good salad. our waitress was wonderful, we also took home a beautiful cinnamon roll. They are delicious. We will be going back often. read more

So, I came back a couple more times, and everything was really good. I think it was just the meatloaf that was not good. The chili rellano is SOOO good! read more
