love the old diner feel of the place, the prices are great and the food taste even better, we ordered a burger and a hotdog with fries. Was very satisfied and will be adding Sam's to our go to list ! read more

The best patty melt in town. Pretty good onion rings too. Good service. Bbbbb

The lady who took my order was very sweet. This place has a very old school feel to it. Classic burgers and much more. I got the bacon cheese burger and mushroom Swiss, both were delicious! Price is decent ranging from $12-18, not too expensive. They do have things that are most costly on the menu. If I'm ever in the area and feeling some burgers, I'd come back! The wait time to get your food is approximately 10-12 minutes! read more

Best hamburgers and fries in town. Byron can cook. Lily isn't bad either. If you like plenty of toppings this is your place.

Good service and almost good food! Burgers are good but other items seemed to be alittle short!

Thumbs Up: This is a neat little diner just past Memorial, heading west on I-10 into the outer provinces. Thumbs Down: Don't expect a classic diner experience with table service. It's an order-at-the-counter setup. Thumbs Down: You also have to pick up your food yourself when it's ready. Neutral: Condiments are located at the pickup counter. Thumbs Up: The employees were polite and professional. Thumbs Down: The hashbrowns weren't traditional at all. They weren't shredded or even the "lazy" style. They tasted like chopped-up french fries that had been griddled. Thumbs Up: The omelets are good, though. Thumbs Down: That said, the food is generally overpriced. I was surprised the omelets didn't come with hashbrowns. Which is something I've come to expect at most diners. Thumbs Up: On the plus side, there's a Starbucks in the same strip mall. read more

Sam's Deli-Diner - Chicken fried sandwich - Diners Near Me - Houston, Texas

One of the best burgers in Houston! Their breakfast is excellent too. The owners are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet--once Lily hears your name, she'll remember you forever. Such a sweet lady. The burgers and Blue Bell milkshakes are truly some of the best in the city! read more

Best breakfast food and burger in town. The people that work there treat you like your family.

Great burger, reasonable prices. Shakes are to die for. Family owned and operated. Highly recommended.

Their burgers are the absolute best.. the size of the burgers are still big and have not changed over the years like so many other restaurants. Their French fries are amazing and their shakes are to die for. I eat here very often and it is always consistent. I couldn't love this restaurant more. read more

Notice they made the Texas Monthly Top 50 Burgers back in 2009. There were lots of establishments that are still in business that I have eaten at throughout the state. So, I figured it's got to be good. Service is just walk-up order and pick-up nothing fancy. We ordered a regular cheeseburger and a Super Combo. I got a little concern when I picked-up the order and noticed the ketchup was "Members Mark"....Sam's Club generic. As it turned out I would bet my last dollar they only shop at Sam's. The patties tasted like 30 years ago being a poor college student eating Sam's patties. Nothing special and no reason to ever go back. read more

Great service great bison burger onion rings are great .delicious!!! A great classic deli/diner.

The food was pretty good, the service not so much. The lady taking orders was pleasant, the older gentleman at the grill was not. First time visit with my grandmother, ordered our food and sat down. They called the order name, I go up and it seems to be just one of our entrees, figured no big deal they're splitting it. He calls the name again and I go up and it's both of our entrees, I realize I accidentally grabbed someone else's order and immediately apologize. He takes an extremely bad attitude and starts muttering under his breath and tells me to bring the other burger back. Despite apologizing, he has some choice words and an attitude I couldn't believe an employee would take with a customer. Mistakes happen, that doesn't mean you can treat paying customers poorly. The food was good, but not enough to make up for the poor service. read more

I've been coming to Sam's since the 1980s. To survive that long you have to have a good product, and they do! Step back in time and enjoy a burger or sandwich from a real Mom and Pop - not some sprawl chain. In fact, I swear it's the same guy cooking the burgers now as then lol. Worth it. read more

Sam's Deli-Diner is a place where people of West Houston want to feel nostalgic for a diner style burgers, fries, and shakes. I have been here many times and each time never disappoints. From the outside it may look like typical corner strip mall food place that serves hamburgers that taste mediocre or those soggy fries. But you will certainly not getting any of those here at Sam's Deli-Diner! As you enter, the place is actually quite big with lots of seating and various local school mascots and school names on their wall. On the counter side, you have your classic and very extensive menu that list all sorts of burgers, hotdogs, breakfast, sandwiches, breakfast sandwiches, salad, sides and their beverages and milkshake. If it's your first time there, go for the burger and fries, any of them will do as it all depends what you crave. You can either for here or to-go as there's usually quite a few people who work around this area would come in and grab their lunch to-go, so beware of the possible long line around noon. As I mentioned earlier, the burger is just simply delicious. It gives that oh-so-homey vibe with the juicy patty and the smushed up buns and everything in it goes so well together. The fries are definitely also feel like that comfort food home-cooked feel and just salty enough to make you crave for more. Sam's Deli-Diner has been here for a long time and I wish for it to thrive through the current hardship and be here on the west side for many years more! read more

Went during lunch and was very busy and the place is pretty small. The turkey burger was okay, it was juicy but not taste or sauce just mayo. Once I added ketchup to the turkey burger it was better but I wouldn't get it again. The super burger was very good, but no sauce only mayo on the burgers as well. We got 2 seasoned fries which were very good as well. I got a milk shake because who can get a burger without a milk shake it was so good. I would go back just for the shakes! My friends got a tigers blood snow one and it had a coconut taste to it that I didn't like but there was enough syrup for the entire thing. Overall the place is a good extremely busy and small during lunch with only 3 workers. Everything was fresh and hot when it came out. read more

best local spot around. staff is so kind and and service is great! got to try the milkshake and honestly any of their burgers. i'll never stop coming here definitely check it out. read more

This is one of those greasy spoon diner, fastball-down-the-middle places. It's right off the interstate in an unassuming strip mall. You know the kind of place I mean. The same guy is working behind the counter every time you arrive. He's low-key friendly. Not particularly jolly, but always efficient and attentive. The food is cheap and straightforward, as is the menu. It's quiet, simple, and quick. There are no frills because they aren't necessary. Consequently, it's a great meet up spot. Plenty of seating, privacy even out in the open, and you can linger as long as you'd like. Great for breakfast, not sure about the lunch situation because we never come here in the afternoon. read more

their food was all absolutely amazing! I could not be happier with the chili cheese burger and lily's shake! Atmosphere was welcoming, and I was served quickly and well so all in all, it was absolutely worth every penny! read more

This place is a must go for burgers!! It is definitely recommended! Their burger are made every day! Fresh patties, fresh cut tomatoes, lettuce, and everything else they use. The best combination with the burger are the seasonal fries. If that is not enough their milkshakes are delicious made with Blue Bell ice cream. Definitely is a place that is worth coming. Best thing is a pretty cheap place compared to several burger places I have been to coming to this place since I was crawling. But definitely is a really good burger place!!!! read more

So just go! You have to try this place. read more

Greasy, juicy, messy, perfect. I've loved this place since it was on the other side of the freeway. Unlike many many other places in the neighborhood, this one still does things the way they did in 1993. The owners are still behind the counter every day. It shows. read more

The fried chicken sandwich is way I drive 25 miles for. I've been eating it since 1988, when Sam's Deli was on the other side of the train tracks. There are times my cravings takes over and I need my fixings of a Sam's Deli fried chicken sandwich. It's perfectly breaded and it holds it juices when you bit into it. Most fried chicken sandwiches are dried out. I'm so happy it's still around after these years. read more
