The breakfast I had here was one of the best in my life. The French toast is amazing! The service is a little slow and it's quite crowded on the weekends (mornings especially with the rush) but the food is definitely worth the wait. They also have some great sides/additions. I had some white Tillamook cheddar on my eggs, yum! read more

This place was absolutely wonderful!!! The waitress was extremely friendly and patient! I got a hot chocolate, which was amazing! I could tell that the whipped cream was fresh! My friend got a coffee, which she said was delightful! Our food came in about 20 minutes and it was soooo good! Well worth the wait! I got a cheese omelet, which was cooked perfectly! It came with the BEST BREAKFAST POTATOES EVER! Seriously, make sure you get the breakfast potatoes. They are so good. My friend got eggs Benedict which was amazing as well! The hollandaise sauce was great! I loved this place! I'm baffled by the negative reviews! Try it out for yourself! read more

Big fan of this place. Wait staff is on point and perfectly witty and charming for a brunch spot. Who wants either flat or uptight for breakfast or brunch? If mimosa was a personality these chicks would have it. Ordered apple and sausage omelet sans sausage and it was terrific. read more

Service was great. Our server was funny as sh*t. French toast was bomb. It was basically cinnamon roll chunks with some syrup. Eggs Benedict was quite delicious. Get the hollandaise on the side though. Had a slight chlorine taste. Fruit cup it came with was also superb. Coffee cups are big allowing for optimal consumption. Nice outdoor seating. read more

Best breakfast in town! The last time we were there we waited 45 minutes for a table. It was worth the wait! Loved the ham and cheese omelette, and the homemade sourdough toast was scrumptious! read more

Never heard of this place and found them on yelp and so glad we did. Got a cheese omelet and added spinach. And then you get their homemade bread for toast and a choice for a side. I got the potatoes and they were so good. They also have very cute bakery items you can take to go. read more

This place is the epitome of "bland". Not horrible. Just bland. Veggies are steamed. Oversteamed actually. Unseasoned. Potatoes are between baked and mashed and, again, bland, lacking even basic salt. The service has improved dramatically however. It used to take 15-20 min to get a cup of coffee from teenage waiters with underdeveloped frontal lobes. I always wonder why people want to go there. I get dragged by friends. I hear their cinnamon roll French toast is indulgent and comes with a coupon for a coronary bypass. read more

The food has more character than any other b-fast joints in town in my opinion good portions and well cooked. The service can be spotty but always courteous. Real good baked goods and a great marbled rye bread which is hard to find in corvallis. read more

This review has two parts: the excellent and the terrible. I guess, combined, 3 stars is about right for this place. The excellent: this is DEFINITELY the best breakfast in town. I've had breakfast here at least half a dozen times and the food has been consistently delicious, every time. I love consistency; if I liked it last time, that's what I want again. This place delivers. Quality of food is head and shoulders above the competition (Broken Yolk, Sunnyside Up and Nearly Normals) yet prices are comparable. I also love their giant tea cups, and the art on the walls is always great. Ok, terrible: The service sucks. Rude, slow, inattentive. They always drop the check long before I'm finished eating. This is rude and makes me feel like they're trying to rush me out, even when the place is slow. Maybe I would have ordered something else to go, or maybe I was still hungry, but they don't care - here's the check. Service is always inattentive, they don't regularly refill coffee, hot water, or ask if your meal is ok. The bathrooms here are filthy. It's obvious after several visits that they are not cleaned regularly, or thoroughly. I'm going to give them one more try and if the bathroom isn't clean, I won't be back. A tasty breakfast isn't worth getting sick. read more

My wife and I ate at Sam's Station for breakfast this morning. When we entered the restaurant we were meant with the wonderful smells of fresh baked bread. We were greeted by two friendly servers. We were quickly shown to our table and very soon coffee and water arrived. The orange juice I ordered was clearly freshy squeezed. The coffee was wonderful and came steamy hot in large cups. The breakfast was great! Other than our eggs being overcooked, the potatoes and English muffins were wonderful. I took the advice from this site and ordered some extra jam, which was brought with our meal. We had to wait a bit to have our coffee replenished. The restaurant is bright with a lot of natural light and appeared to be immaculately clean. We interacted with two different servers and another person who brought us our coffee. All were very friendly and asked how we were doing. Breakfast is served until closing at 3:00 PM, which was welcome, as that is the meal we desired. There were probably 10 or so people eating lunch. The food was great and the staff friendly. The bread smelled so good, we brought a loaf along with some muffins. The bread was very warm and smelled great all of the way home. Sam's, we are fans. We shall return. read more

After waiting 30 min to be sat, then 75 minutes more to get our food, I assumed the food would at least be worth the wait. Wrong. Tasty, but no better than a chain restaurant, and the server didn't apologize for the wait, nor did he give any explanation. It was busy at first, but its not a large enough place to constitute an hour and 15 min+ for three breakfast entrees. Will never return, or recommend. read more

Excellent service, great food, good size portions. Perfect for brunch. We'd stopped coming here due to the slow service, but the staff now is efficient and professional. read more

This was my first time going to Sam's Station and I took my girlfriend for brunch on a Sunday morning. We were seated about 10:45 after a 10 minute wait and given water and menus. 15 minutes later, I got up to tell the hostess we were ready to order. We ordered coffee, hot chocolate, and breakfast. 15 minutes later, I got up and asked for our drinks, they were out in another 5. Another half hour went by before we got out food. The food was good, but not great, and certainly wasn't worth an hour wait. We were about ready to pay for our drinks and leave when the food finally came out. I had just finished my coffee and girlfriend has finished her hot chocolate. Luckily we bought a lemon muffin when we first go there, because we were starving! The muffin was delicious, but did not overshadow the poor service. read more

Service was very slow, just shy of a hour from ordering till we got our food. Price is just okay. Do not order steak and eggs dish! Two thin strips of steak, you might as well just ask for two sausages instead. read more

OK, I admit I am biased as this place is a walk away and I love Sam's gruff, get it done, manner. We eat breakfast there about every other week, it isn't cheap but the food is super consistent and they tend to use organic stuff. Thing is, it is a family run business. Their wait staff is sometimes high schoolers or college kids. And they stick around. So when I go out to eat, I sort of like to know that stuff. read more

Ate lunch here the other day. Wonderful turkey salad sandwich and turkey noodle soup. Great bread! Service was good too.

The food has always been excellent but the service has always been sub par. This last experience dinning at Sam's Station was by far the worst service we have experienced. It really started at the very beginning. Walking in we noticed that the restaurant was very busy and so we prepared for a wait, however it took quite a while for me to get anyone's attention to even put our name in for a table. I felt like I had to stand there and stare someone down before they acknowledged my presence. When they finally did, they asked, "what do you need?" As opposed to "what can I do for you?" There is a big difference in tone between those two sentences and I felt that I was annoying them by wanting a table. Even so we put our name in and waited. The table was ready fairly quickly but they just pointed toward the table and did not escort us to it. Once we were seated and our orders were taken not a single server talked or looked at us after this. After noticing several tables who were seated after us being served food and then leaving I started to get up to inquire about our food but our server then came over with our check. We had not even received our food at that point. It had been at least an hour since we ordered. We asked for it to go, paid and left. It seemed that our server was new and inexperienced but I got the feeling she really was doing her best and they were very busy. Having worked in the food industry for many years, I had been in her shoes before. What really bothered me was her surprise when we asked to get it to go. She asked, a little exasperated "you guys have to go now?" My husband explained that we had been waiting for our food for an hour and had seen several tables served and reseated since ordering. She then said "sorry about that". The other thing that really bothered me was that no manager made an attempt to apologize either. As we were standing up at the counter to pay we could here them making irritated comments about why the order now had to put in to go containers. If it were my restaurant and something like that happened I would make sure to make a connection with the customers. As much as we enjoy the food here, it is probably the last time we will visit. read more

We were very disappointed. We had gone to Sam's Station before and were satisfied. This time we walked in and had to wait a little while to be seated. There seemed to be only two people working, and the young man appeared to be new. We got seated, and waited quite a while and noticed that there didn't seem to be anyone waiting on the tables. Another waitress came out and she seated two more tables. Finally one more waitress came out and she took the order from the table behind us. At this point we had been there for 20 minutes and no one has taken our order or brought us coffee or anything. The waitress said, "Be right with you." So we waited some more. The previous waitress then went over to tables that had just come in, and took their orders! We are still waiting. I spot our waitress arranging muffins, throwing garbage away, covering food up. Then when I thought she was coming to take our order finally, she walked right past us and started cleaning off another table. This was too much! We had been there about 45 minutes and were completely ignored! We walked out and went through the McDonald's drive through. read more

I've been to this place several times and each time the food has been consistent and tasty. Service is good, but can be a little slow. Overall, I would recommend this place and go back myself. read more

Love this place! The people are great, and I like how they support local artists with art on the walls. My favorite dish is the eggs and potatoes with French bread toast. read more

Sam's is the best restaurant in town. Whether you're looking for breakfast, lunch, coffee, or fresh-made pastries, Sam's will not fail you. Of course, the service can lack occasionally -- sometimes the wait for a meal can legitimately be about 35 minutes -- but that is only because the place is usually quite busy, and every meal is made to-order. If I'm not mistaken, Sam's makes literally everything in-house. Given all of this, I say definitively that there is not a better place in town to get a fresh meal. read more

Best muffins, scones, and cinnamon rolls in town. Great coffee. Cute place to hang out--one of my favorite spaces to hang out in Corvallis. Best breakfast in town, without a doubt. If you are coming for breakfast then it's best to come when you are wanting a calm leisurely breakfast because it can take some time for the food to be prepared but it is worth the wait. I wish they were open into the evening but they tried it at least twice in the past, and I guess it doesn't work out for them to stay open late. I love that it is a neighborhood coffee shop with co-op across the street. Nice family owned business started by a brother and his wife and sister. read more

Best breakfast in town. The food is wonderful. Service can be a little slow, perhaps based on the equipment available; for instance, they can only prep one espresso drink at a time. Servers are very courteous, though not as chatty as those found in other Corvallis restaurants. Sam herself has even been known to crack a smile when helping customers. This restaurant closes at 2:00 PM on weekends and is closed on Mondays. read more

I love this place - their breakfast foods are especially awesome, and their Early Riser (orange zest and almond) espresso drink is spectacular! I only wish they were open later, I would work on my computer there all day! =) read more

Best breakfast place in town! Good service, great food and cute as can be. My partner is a chef and complains about everything every time we go out to eat, but I finally found a restaurant in Corvallis that he did not have even ONE complaint about. The food was cooked perfectly, nothing was over priced, the servers were attentive and professional, good portion sizes, and delicious food: excellent potatotos, yummy sausage (you gotta get the german sausage) and great jam! read more

Single worst dinning experience I've ever had at a restaurant. Had to wait an hour and fifteen for our food, and once it arrive we noticed my Mom's ham and cheese omelet did not even have cheese in it. I would strongly advise those considering eating here to reconsider! read more
