    Half turkey club with house made chips - excellent!

    Food was amazing - the menu has a wide variety of options. Service was great, late lunch time was quiet and not crowded. Not pictured were the lobster bisque and Italian wedding soup which were home made and sooo delicious!!

    Waffles from the chicken and waffles

    Delanie's was sold and has been rebranded as West Ave Tavern. Much of the old menu has been kept and the décoré is the same. If you liked Delanie's you will like this place. Service is very good with a very friendly staff. It is a casual environment good for families or if you want to watch a game at the bar. I had the chicken and waffles - they were okay. More like chicken tenders and waffles. My wife had a wedge salad that was very good. I will go back

    $19 chicken and waffles. Funny thing, only one side burnt and they didn't even think to put that side down in the plate!

    I guess i have to begin at the beginning to let you grasp the true sadness of this visit. Party of three at about 7:10 on a Tuesday. We were sat immediately. We hadn't been there in a decade so it was essentially our "first" time. We had enough time before we were greeted to look at the entire menu, many times, decide on apps and even pick, and change our minds about entrees before we ever met our waitress. She asked our drinks and quickly turned and returned to kitchen before i could order the apps. Upon returning with the beverages, she again quickly turned away, i spoke up and asked if we could order our apps. After about twenty minutes i asked her as she was walking by if we could order our food. She commented how she was waiting until after she brought our apps. We ordered. Eventually apps came. There where more examples of the poor service (a host visited our table and saw that EVERYBODY had an empty glass and said and did nothing, then actually when the waitress dropped off the apps she again turned away quickly and i had to ask for refills. When they returned my beverage was now in my husbands cup and his in mine. Our cups were different colors, but enough is enough. Food was over sold on the menu and over priced. Burnt "house made" waffle (what waffle iron burns one side?) dry frozen chicken , with syrup that tasted like they just mixed it with cheap bourbon. I can put up with crap service and no refills and never coming to ask me if i need anything after deliver the meal, if the food is on point! Lobster bisque??? My bad for not asking if it was real lobster. $8 for a bowl that is really a cup, i mean it's actually a cup, and fake seafood. $19 for the chicken and waffles! Bad food, bad service. So sad.

The menu is a good sized and offer a variety of things but pretty much your basic burgers, starters, sandwiches and some entrees. The food was solid and not too expensive which was good. The French Onion Burg on Texas toast was really good and flavorful and the onion rings were a good size and crispy. Overall, Sammie's is a solid spot to dine in and grab a bite to eat especially for the value!

    I was long overdue for a girl's night out so I met a good friend here after work one night this…read moreweek. She picked it because she was going to be in the area. I've never been here before but I know it's a fairly popular place so I was quick to agree to the location. We originally sat at the bar but the stools were so incredibly uncomfortable, so we moved to a booth. While our server was nice, it did take her quite a while to come take our drink order. I got a "lavendar breeze" for my first drink and it was delicious. The menu is small, with the focus being on grilled cheese sandwiches. I'm not a huge grilled cheese lover, so I ordered a wedge salad (with house white French dressing) and the sauerkraut balls from the appetizer menu. The salad was on par with what you'd expect, the dressing was tasty. The sauerkraut balls, though, kind of threw me. First, it's a HUGE serving. There was around 30-40 sauerkraut balls in the basket; way more than I ever imagined would be in an order. I was expecting four or five golf ball sized balls. Maybe I've been spoiled by having some fantastic sauerkraut balls, but these were subpar, at best. They didn't have a lot of flavor and the cocktail sauce they served with them was an odd choice. While I still enjoyed time catching up with a friend and the drinks were well done, I doubt I'll come back for food. The menu just wasn't appealing to me and what I did have wasnt good enough to lure me back anytime soon.

It has been on my list for ages but it isn't close to my house and the wait is always long! But in March 2026, my bf and I braved the wait so I can finally check this place out! Overall, it is clear why Blue Door is always packed - the food, while overpriced, is delicious and made by a team of talented chef and bakers! I'll say this was a 4.5 star experience. We were quoted a wait for about 45 minutes but we were seated after 30. The case of baked goods were enticing me the entire time but I resisted! Our waiter, Steven, was funny, helpful, and had a great personality. The place, obviously, was packed, with little room in between tables. We saw quite a few patrons order the incredibly indulgent horchata French toast ($24) and I don't think I witnessed anyone finish it! To start, I got a coffee from local coffee roasters, Angel Falls, for $3.50 and my boyfriend treated himself to a fancy hot chai $6.50. It was pretty good local coffee! I wanted to try their famous croissants so I ordered the croque madame croissant sandwich with breakfast potatoes ($21). The croque madame was incredible! The breakfast potatoes could have benefited from an interesting seasoning. My boyfriend wanted everything on the menu but decided on getting the "special menu" loaded baked potato breakfast burger with salt+vinegar brined house chips (aka fries) for $24. The potato inside was a large potato latke. This heavenly creation kept him full for hours. In the end, our bill was pretty pricey for a brunch but we enjoyed every bite. I'm not sure if I will be able to come here again since we got lucky with our wait, but they keep changing their menu and something might entice me so much, I'll endure any wait!

The exterior of the building is not much to look at, but inside they have really made it charming. The entrées we chose were the classic eggs, Benedict and the quiche.
