Perfect little diner, great food, home style friendly staff. I go here rarely because I'm always either broke or it's too late in the day but it's always delicious and the staff are people you could hang out with. The Woman, who I think is the owner, has commented on both breast cancer awareness shirts and pride shirts I've worn when I've gone in on multiple occasions, only good things and she seems to be a lovely woman. Absolutely love this hidden gem of a restaurant.

If you are looking for freshly made food at great prices you need to come here. Every time I go in for breakfast it's always amazing. Between the chicken fried steak, country breakfast, french toast deluxe and not to mention all their lunch specials, you have a lot of great options. On top of the food, their servers are super nice and attentive. If you haven't been to Sam's Cafe yet, you are missing out!

The food here was nothing short of excellent. The service was very friendly and motivated and we were served without much wait. The prices were also quite competitive when compared to other cafes that I've dined at.

First time at Sam's Cafe. Staff friendly and were seated quick. Place was almost full and arrived at a good time. Waiter would come by asking if more coffee was needed. We ordered the chicken fried steak w/ 3 eggs. I wasn't expecting when the plates came to the table. Awesome portion and good. FYI...for the Month of May if paying cash, you don't pay sales tax. 10% off for Seniors
