    We got stuffed hasbrowns to the left and double chicken burger with sweet potato fries to the right.

    This is the best spot in Sacramento. The service is amazing. They know you my name they know what you want. The atmosphere is great. The food is awesome and the service I can't stand about the service like I said they know you my name you feel like you're at home when you come here.

    Happy to update that Sammy's is still great, and the community has acknowledged it! In addition to the three "Best of Sacramento" awards on the wall from the SacBee, we were there when the owner, Naz, got her 2025 Yelp award. Not pretentious or fancy, just real good food and good people. A true neighborhood gem.

    My family and I stopped into Sammy's for the breakfast on Saturday for the first time. It's close to our house and it's across the street from another Del Paso Heights staple - Lil Joe's. We ordered the Kids French Toast, Prime Rib Skillet and the Low Calorie Plate. Everything was really good and seasoned well - I especially liked the fruit salad that came with the Low Calorie Plate - it wasn't the boring fruit like you'd expect. The Prime Rib Skillet was a huge portion and the Low Calorie Plate was a great mix of flavors without making me feel too full. While we did enjoy our food and service was great as well - very family oriented - we saw at least 3 generations working, the place needed a deep clean. I would have given 5 stars, but there were a few things I noticed that threw me off. Is that going to stop me from coming back? No, because the food speaks for itself and it's down the street from our house. We will definitely be back soon!

    2 egg breakfast with crispy bacon and sourdough toast (May 2025)

    As others have said, great diner in Sac that opens early and serves really tasty breakfasts. We stopped by right when it opened on the weekend and grabbed a booth and quickly got some hot diner coffee and tall cups of ice water. Service was super friendly and relaxed. We dove into the 2 egg breakfast, which featured perfectly cooked over easy eggs, crispy hash browns (that were a little greasy but fine for me as they were nicely seasoned), crispy bacon and crunchy sourdough toast. Hot sauce and ketchup were on the tables as condiments, along with packets of smuckers jam. Also tried the Cal slam with 2 eggs over easy, thick cut ham, hash browns and 2 large fluffy pancakes topped with butter. Another solid breakfast for sure. Our coffee cups stayed full throughout breakfast and service was appropriately attentive as well. Overall, an excellent experience and look forward to coming back again soon!

    Fantastic find alert for breakfast or brunch in NorCal: Sammy's Diner in Sacramento, CA! Was craving an early breakfast before my trade show in downtown today and stumbled upon this great breakfast diner spot, originally opened in 1944, a bit northeast of Old Sac. Nostalgic vibes but still, in the most positive way of reading this comment: not showing its age at all . Ample free parking available, too. Things were a bit quiet in the diner when I visited, probably because I arrived around 6am and Sacramento weather was rainy at the time, but this spot is capable of hosting a lively and sizable crowd of patrons with plenty of comfortable seats available. Took the opportunity of today's lighter pace to compliment the owner, Naz, on the cheerful decor sprinkled throughout the diner. NICEST AND SWEETEST OWNER EVER! She shared about how she and her mom took over the restaurant after the Covid-collapse and her story was quite impressive and inspiring. After struggling with all sorts of external issues in the surrounding area that significantly impacted the cosmetic appearance of the diner, she shared that it was very much a "fixer-upper" when she took it on at the time. She won over support from city leadership, after many attempts at it, to boost efforts to keep the surrounding area clean and trouble-free. She obviously takes great pride in how she has revived this long-standing restaurant! Naz has a high level of passion for providing a top-notch dining experience and that upbeat attitude shows up throughout the place. Attention to the small details is prevalent here. Copious floral arrangements, seasonally decorated for Halloween when I visited in October 2025, and very clean throughout. She even gave me a short tour of her expanded dining room to showcase her many civic recognitions, the table where her local police deputies like to hang out, and the photos of regular patrons that hang upon the walls. Outstanding food and extra friendly service. Naz is a long-term Sacramento resident who beams with joy when talking about building up this diner and making it worthy of being called an iconic neighborhood establishment for people to enjoy. She said that she receives a lot of out-of-town visitors because of many hotels in the surrounding area but I would ABSOLUTELY recommend going out of the way to eat here when I'm in town. I had the veggie omelette, substituted fruit instead of potatoes, and substituted waffle instead of bread choice. Heartily recommend a meal here if you're anywhere near the area!

    Great breakfast! Lovely old school spot with great service and delicious diner favorites. We went on a Saturday morning and it was pretty busy, but our food came rather quickly. I had chilaquiles which had just the perfect amount of heat. Recommend!

    Perfect bacon, eggs over medium, coffee & waffle
    Nathan H.

    Fantastic people and fantastic Diner! I ordered Eggs over medium, w/ bacon, a waffle and coffee. Everything was fantastic, and the owner (Naz and her mother Moon) and staff are friendly and have a beautiful story of how this classic diner was resurrected to life during the tough times of C-19. I highly recommend coming to Sammy's Family Restaurant if you are in the Sacramento area!!!

    Great food great environment had a good time at Sammy's the waitresses and chef made the experience very enjoyable food was real good and they had good music playing

    Very happy to have finally stopped in for breakfast. My meal was seasoned perfectly and well executed. It's good to see a family run business and I hope they continue to thrive in our neighborhood. Very friendly and welcoming, it almost felt like home.

    This was some of the best diner food we have had! From the moment we walked in we were met with kindness. You can tell that they take pride in what they create

    Sammy's is back! Better than ever. Same great retro vibe, but totally refreshed from top to bottom. Every surface has been scrubbed, reupholstered, or repainted. Amazing breakfast experience!

    Loco moco with over easy eggs
    Kristy H.

    I would say 3.5 stars. Staff was friendly just preoccupied with what I'm assuming are the local/ frequent customers. We ordered pretty quick but the wait for the food was kind of longer even though the restaurant was pretty empty. The food was good. One of the over easy eggs on the loco moco was more on the fired side and the waitress noticed it and brought a new over easy eggs. That was pretty nice. Nice size menu also.

    Spacious dining room with complementary music.
    Faith R.

    The Swiss and Spinach omelette is tasty, rich and I savored every bite. Nora, the owner is a small business owner and takes the time to provide fist class service. Checking in with how food is and refilling water. The ambiance is friendly, intimate, inviting and cozy. The atmosphere and dining experience is above the usual.

I was also able to grab some ketchup to enjoy those fries. My burger and fries was delivered and there were more fries than expected. I focused on those first because who like cold fries, right??? The fries were actually pretty good, an above average standard French fry with salt. The burger however was phenomenal. There was an amazing crust on the outside reminiscent of a backyard bbq. There was ample bacon, lettuce, cheese and sauce to make it a balanced bite. The bun was high end brioche style, they really went all out on quality of ingredients. A standard burger build but done perfectly! Beer was cold, food was great and the ambiance is a perfect local bar. Great spot to go if you don't mind hunting for a parking space.

    Yum! Had a great first visit at Lucky's. Walking in to this bright, clean, spacious, 50s themed…read morediner, you would never have known it was a dive bar in its last couple iterations. Amazing transformation. The inside is minimal with the diner decor, keeping the place open and uncluttered (although, there's a lady mannequin propped up near the window!). The smaller back patio is also nicely remodeled with their signature red double decker bus, which I hear is very close to being ready for occupation (as of 7/12/26). That will be fun to hang out and eat your burger and fries in there, especially if A/C is provided. The cute patio is also open to leashed dogs that are well behaved. I love that they offer combos with a shake or a fountain drink. You'll find burgers, shakes, fries, chili, and hot dogs. The menu is very reasonably priced too. I got a single Lucky burger combo with a large banana peanut butter chocolate shake (you can mix flavors), upgraded to chili cheese fries, and also ordered a separate fountain drink. The cashier was very friendly, patient, and helpful. Service 10/10. Given a buzzer and found a table inside. Food came up in about 5 minutes. Good burger but had way too many onions (easy fix though). I wouldn't mind a softer bun, but it was fine. The Lucky sauce is similar to thousand island dressing, and they had a few other sauces available that I still need to try. The fries were great! Battered, seasoned, and crispy. Shake was thick and not too sweet. They use real fruit, but not sure if they use real ice cream or soft serve. Either way, it was still delicious. Shake up your burger rotation and support a small, local biz!
