    This is a no frills big portion comfort meal kind of place. I heard that the City of Chicago might have bought the land that they sit on, so their days may be limited. So get it before it is gone. Eggs and hammy at Sammy's!

    Ahh Sammy's.  If you want the same quality (or better) food than Huck Finn but cheaper then come here.  Tiny little restaurant next to the airport but very cozy.  I think if they tossed in about $5-10K into this place it could look nicer but then maybe the prices wouldn't be as cheap.  Overall good food and good service.

    We needed a good breakfast on the way home from our Chicago Midway hotel, and Sammy's came up on Yelp.  It may look not so good on the outside, but it was warm and welcoming on the inside.  The staff is excellent, and really cares about your food.  There are lots of regulars, but the owner told me that since they got reviewed on Yelp, they are getting people from all over the country.  He was pretty proud of this.

    Downside...no oatmeal.  Upside, fast service, fresh food, bone in ham, excellent prices (we both ate for less that $15.00).  This is a neighborhood place, so be ready for it to be full.  Use the side door only, off the parking lot.  

    We wouldn't go back for breakfast, but only because they didn't have oatmeal.  They have an awesome list of entrees and specials, however, for other meals.  Maybe then?

    Loved it! Agree that it may not look so great but the food and service were wonderful. Small family owned, only open till 1:00 pm. Breakfast was 2 large pancakes, 2 bacon, 2 sausage and 2 eggs for $3.95! Coffee was delicious and only $1.25. Seemed like lots of locals enjoy the spot. They do have lunch specials... Reuben sandwiches and stuffed cabbage the day we were there.  Nice to eat from outside the golden arches!

    Absolutely fantastic food and service! Not many joints on the south side are run like this anymore. Good quality cheap eats! Gonna hate to see it go...

    I love it, my dad and I go here at least once a week. I guess some people would consider it to be "dive" like but the food is great. The price you pay and the amount of food you get is just awesome. I always go home with half my plate since the amount of food is quite large. I've had both the chicken noodle and the tomato and rice soups
    and I love both of them! Everything is great here!

    Great vegetarian omelet, great service. Love the neighborhood atmosphere. Not fancy, but has a really good vibe. Would definitely return next time I fly into Midway. Thanks, Yelpers!

    Looks like a dump from the outside, but the food was good and very inexpensive. It's got some good ol' south side character :)
    Good breakfast option if you're stuck around Midway.

    After an exhausting few days of packing, we came to Sammy's after our movers put everything into our Upack containers.  We were starved and weren't disappointed at the homecooked food.  The price was right at about $8 for my chicken sandwich, fries, and a cup of delicious chicken noodle soup.  Seemed like it was a friendly, local joint where everyone knew each other.  It's probably a place for all the cops to eat at as there were nearly 7 or 8 while we were there.  Service was excellent and we were asked 2 times if we needed anything else.  It's definitely a dive from the 80's that could use in some sprucing up decor-wise, but it's not a big deal.  It's just delicious diner food at great prices!

    Sammy's is a shack across the street from Midway Airport; feel the building tremble as airplanes pass overhead!

    I know.  Five stars for a diner?
    If you go into Sammy's knowing what to expect, you'll leave happy.  It's a small...a very small family owned diner that only serves breakfast and lunch.  There is nothing on the menu that I would go out of my way to recommend or say is something you NEEDED to try if you stopped in (except maybe the 757 Burger) but when you're talking about spending $5 per person (including drinks) for a home cooked meal with great service, it's hard to not give a place five stars for being good at being what it is...

    I don't know if that makes much sense, but what I do know is that when I come to this place with my son, they cut up his pancakes into little bite-sized portions before they even bring out our breakfast.  That way I don't have to spend time doing it myself while my breakfast gets cold.  Look, they anticipated my needs just like a real live classy joint.

    Good, cheap food and great service.   Yes, the decor is a bit like you've entered a time warp but who cares? It's the best place for breakfast in the neighborhood.  Not much else to say - it is worth a visit.

    OMG, everyone needs to go to this place. It's a small, verrrry small, family-run restaurant hooked onto a bar. You will not find more reasonable food in the city, plus it is DELICIOUS! Don't get distracted by the aging decor, think shabby chic...

    Head here for Saturday breakfast / early lunch (they close at 11:30am and are not open on Sundays) or stop by for either meal during the week (open until 1pm). Servers are friendly and treat you like family.

    All the food is terrific, but don't leave without getting a cup / bowl of the cream of chicken with rice soup. It's a bit salty, but you won't find tastier soup anywhere in the city.

    Like I said above, this place is tiny! The earlier you get there (before 8 or 9am), the better your chances of scoring a table. Sometimes you may have to wait 15-20 minutes. Parking can be tight during busy times, and you may need to circle the residential block to find a spot if you aren't lucky enough to score something in the 2 tiny lots. Food is usually served very quickly.

    Tons of cops eat here, so it must be good, right? RIGHT!
