Met dear friends here for a late (10 am) breakfast on Friday morning. The place was packed!!! My friends are regulars here so they knew everyone by name and we waited for a seat in the section of their favorite server. I loved that my coffee cup was kept filled, and I never felt rushed although we sat and talked for close to 2 hours, The food was fresh and tasty. I had a veggie omelet, home fries and toast. Â They seem to go "above and beyond" to provide great customer service, and the friendliness was incredible!
Review Source:i bounce between 3 and 4 stars for samantha's. Â i'll go three for a couple of reasons: (1) i'm a tough grader; (2) i'm a jerk; and (3) this is basically a breakfast place and to get 4 stars outta me it would have to really knock my socks off. Â 2 of those are true, and i always leave with my socks on, so . . . .
went around christmas time for the second year in a row. Â the best three words to describe this place are "cheap and cheerful." Â the menu is extensive and the breakfast grub is done well. Â had the eggs benny last year and had a chance to check them out again this year. Â the hollandaise is good, but not as creamy and rich as i would like.
this year, i had the glazed french toast. Â three HUGE slices of texas cinnamon toast, dipped in batter, glazed with cinnamon and sugar and served piping hot with butter and syrup. Â bring insulin.
aside from the adult-onset diabetes, i've had nothing but good experiences at samantha's. Â the service (if i recall correctly, we had the same server last year as well) has always been prompt and friendly for what is typically our (loud) group of 8 - 10. Â for the past 2 years, our group has also included small children and a kid's menu is available.
the prices are definitely right. Â most people can eat themselves into a food coma for around $10 per person and revive themselves with several glasses of oj and coffee.
as with most things out in this neck of the woods, getting here will require a car. Â however, once a vehicle is secured, samantha's is conveniently located just off of i-77.
Samantha's is a cozy Family Diner were you are generally greeted with a smile and sometimes by name. Â I worked at Samantha's in High School, and will try to give you an un-biased opinion of it.
In my experience as a Samantha's patron, there are two types of service employees there. Â Long-term and High School kids. Â Both play their role in making this a home-town restaurant. Â While the Long-term employees (usually servers) are pros and meet you at the door with a smile and a personal greeting, the high schoolers (usually hosts) often don't try to hide that they are just trying to get through their shift and go home. Â It's to be expected and has never really offended me.
The food at Samantha's is nothing to write home about, but rarely disappointing. Â You will be satisfied, and filled with warm things that taste home cooked-ish, and the service is slightly fast paced, but personal.
It's a great place to grab breakfast while you read the paper, or dinner after a stressful day.
