I ordered delivery through Seamless. It took 20 minutes beyond the estimated delivery time, but when it got to me it was still warm.
I got the Italian beef, cheese fries and mozzarella sticks. The beef was solid, not the best, but tasty. Same with the mozz sticks - not amazing, but good.
Everyone keeps talking about the fries. They were good - but I think the delivery was rough on them. I'd recommend only grabbing them in-store.
Overall - tasty, 7/10 would order again.
Disgusting, bone-dry rancid, inedible rib tips, free of bbq sauce.. Shriveled, dry and crumbling "hot links". Soggy, grease laden, limp cold fires. all served in a jumbled up mess. Delivered ice cold an hour and a half after I placed my order. All sent directly to the garbage, which was an insult to the garbage
Review Source:I am a very regular customer (dozens of orders) and I have really tried to be patient. Â From the first order, months ago, they are constantly forgetting things like sauces and condiments. Â OK, no big deal. Â I want to love the place because it is something like 3 blocks from my place and pretty reasonably priced. Â Most of the time they don't have soda in two liter bottles, which I am not really sure how hard it is to keep in stock, but OK. No big thing, right? Much of the last month they have been out of italian and BBQ beef. Â Again, not sure how you run out, but OK. Last few orders, it seems like we haven't been getting proper delivery change. Â OK, small thing. Â Today, the same guy I have placed literally fifty orders with in the past is particularly snarly. Â It takes 50 minutes to deliver two cheeseburgers and fries three blocks, and everything is cold when it arrives. The burgers are shoeleather and COLD. Â Done and done. Â The owner of this place should sublet it to someone who is competent.
Review Source:Nasty! Nasty!
I've tried this place twice & this past Sunday was the last time I'd go here. French fries are under cooked, cheeseburger super dry (this tells me they are either using old beef or just throwing frozen patties on grill), Gyros - burnt and dry ( again tells me this meat has been sitting around for awhile). I have to say the onion rings are awesome! Like old dry meat, this is the place for you! I should of went back and demanded a refund.
Hits the spot for greasy food cravings. Â I have to mention in my review that the fries are to die for...I don't know what they do to make them so delicious but try them, you will not be disappointed! Â I like the grilled chicken pita. Â My only complaint is that it does take a while to get the food, for a fast food establishment. Â But that may be a good thing because it shows the food is made on the spot.
Review Source:so Ive decided to come pay a visit since i haven't eaten here in a long while.. they are not the same anymore.. the BBQ sauce is more bland, fries are greasier then ever, and the place is dirty .. dint think i will come back anymore since there are much better places around to eat at.
Review Source:Placed a delivery order at 4:57 pm today. Â The man on the phone told me 30 minutes. Â I called at 5:45 and he stated the delivery man was on the way. Â I live approximately a mile away and 5 to 15 minutes ride depending on street traffic. Â It is 6:04 and I am still waiting. Â Will update when food actually gets here and review on that. Â So far they've gotten a 1 star.
***Update***
SERVICE:
Food was delivered at 6:22pm. Â I asked the delivery guy how cold must my food be since he left 45 minutes ago to deliver it. Â I felt the bag and opened the food and it was still warm. Â The delivery man stated that he just picked up the food and came here right away....whatever. Â Had to tip the man anyway, it wasn't his fault. Â
FOOD:
For waiting 1 1/2 hours for my food, i wouldn't say it was worth the wait. Â ordered 4 wings with mild sauce on the side and 1lb rib and 3 wings. Â The wings were not as flavorful as I'm used to, but being doused in BBQ sauce, they did the job. Â The rib tip and wings combo was covered with bbq sauce and fries thrown over it. Â Fries were somewhat soggy from the being in the container and the sauce. Â They were a bit to the salty side, but I'm into to more salt anyway. Â The rib tips were ok....could not be compared to a place like Famous Dave's. Â They were cut really really small and at least a quarter had more cartilage than meat. Â Probably will not order again. Â The sauce is more towards the sweet side than tangy, which i like.
The 4 wings not doused in sauce was ok. Â My brother liked it. Â His fries were crispier and mild sauce was good, more tangy. Â A hungry teenage boy enjoyed.
Overall I'll give them 3 stars. Â If service was what they stated it, Â maybe 4 stars.
I had a combo with hot peppers. Â The beef was alright. Â I dont mind some gyro meat. Â The sausage was so old and nasty I took one bite and threw it out. Â The hot peppers were not crisp like they had been sitting out for ever. Â Sam's needs to get its act together before any serious competition for Chicago slop shop moves into the Granville/Red Line stop area.
The fries everyone was raving about? Â Limp, near tasteless except for an excessive amount of salt. Â In a city that has duck fat fries, and up market hamburger joints around every corner, you have to at least try on the fries. Â Quantity doesn't equal quality. Â They had a tub of them under the counter and do look fresh-cut, but something just isn't working.
The new brick facade coming on this place isn't going to help you feel any better about eating such a poor example of Chicago "slop shop" style food. Â If you say you are serving Vienna beef products, again uphold some dayumn standards puhhhleaze!!
Give me that greasy bag of fries!
If you step inside this establishment and walk out with anything, please make sure you get at least their fresh-cut FRENCH FRIES. Â I have never had a more tastier set of greasy potatoes in my life. Â Believe it or not, they serve them in a greasy see-thru paper bag - which is fine by me.
Sam's is where I go when the McDonald's is just too far to go for a cheese burger. I try not to spend too much time in the place cuz its none too clean, and no one seems to wear gloves. And while the offer delivery, there is hardly ever a guy willing or able to walk my food and grease a block and a half to my apt. Maybe if I drank more I'd find this place more appealing.
Review Source:This is the only place I know of that gives you a big paper bag of fries, wrapped in a plastic bag because the grease has totally soaked through. Â
Even the pizza puffs are wrapped in a little paper pouch, put into a paper bag that's wrapped in a plastic bag because of all the grease.
Hell, you'll probably gain 10 pounds just by opening the door and walking into the place because it just oozes grease.
But that's when you know it's gooooood.
Oh Sam's... I never know when you're going to be open, but that's just part of your charm. Â You've always been there for me though with your greasy food and a mountain of fries with faux cheese on top... for only $3.50.
What surprised me most about this place is that the fries are actual fries, cut from real potatoes. Â None of that frozen crap thrown into the deep fryer for me! Â Nothing here is good for you but really who cares at 1am after a night of drinking??
For what it is, it's great! Â Like every other reviewer says, it's good, greasy food. Â The fries are amazing, the bbq beef sandwich is tasty. Â I personally didn't find it to be that spicy, but it didn't need to be...it's a good tangy sauce with a little kick. Â Sam's is conveniently located right off the red line stop at Granville, it's cheap and has a decent selection of greasy, filling, meaty fare. Â I don't think it's air-conditioned, so don't be surprised if you find yourself sweating while eating in during the summer. Â The dining area is no-frills, you're better off not asking to use the bathroom unless it's an emergency, and the kitchen looks well-used, but from the vantage point of the cash register where you order, seems very clean--which is one of my hang-ups with a lot of other cheap bbq places. Â
  The food takes a few minutes to come out (so don't be impatient) but the staff is friendly and you can watch the people walking by on the street for entertainment.
Right next to the Red Line (And by extension Gino's) Sam's is one of the few places I've found in Edgewater to get greasy, alcohol absorbing food. Â Coming from upstate NY, I've gotten accustomed to the "Garbage Plate" to do this (Look it up, it's glorious) but just about any of Sam's meals do the trick. Â Granted, it's not the quickest place to get food, so you might actually have to *gasp* wait around and chat with your fellow customers for a couple of minutes.
Also, the prices at Sam's are ridiculous. Â I'm talking get lunch with the change you found in your couch cheap.
Sam's is the ultimate in greasy food.
If you order a six piece chicken wing meal for lunch, you won't have to eat for the rest of the day.
Order a gyro cheeseburger and eat it in front of a mirror so that you can SEE the expression on your face as you taste the exploding flavor in your mouth.
Try to eat one of the massive gyros in one sitting. Â I dare you.
Feel your sinuses clear out as you wolf down a BBQ Beef sandwich.
Best fries in the city.
The only mediocre thing I've ever had at this place was a Philly Cheese Steak well over three years ago, and I don't even like those very much.
It's not the fastest place in the world but quality takes time. Â Sam's is heaven.
Ya don't come to Sam's for the ambiance . . . ya come for the FOOD! Â And the reasonable prices. Â The place is set up like a fast food joint, with tables, so you order at the counter. Â But don't expect the food "fast." Â But that is also exactly why this place is a half step above "fast food." Â The quality is much better, so the wait is definitely worth it. Â Typically, I order a full slab of ribs (dinner) and a rib-tips dinner for a buddy and myself, and we never even finish the rib tips. Â The fries are great, and they lather everything with plenty of bar-b-que sauce. Â My wait is typically 15 or 20 minutes, but you can call your order in ahead of time; or order there and pay, go run an errand, and come back. Â If you're not in the mood for ribs, there are other things on the menu, including the regular fast-food fare. Â I also recommend their chicken (bar-b-qued or not). Â Burgers are above average. Â And please, no reviews from disgruntled vegans or calorie-conscious twigs. Â This is real food for real people. Â Not a salad bar. Â One of many great little joints on Granville. Â Enjoy!
Review Source:Famished after a day of moving furniture from one apartment to another, my cousin and I walked into Sam's -- the only restaurant on Granville that was still open at midnight -- and got ourselves a full slab of ribs, chicken wings, fries and a side of cheese. Although we were the only dine-in customers (pick-ups and deliveries were still quite popular that time of night), we had to wait about 20 minutes for our order...hungry as we were, the wait seemed like the longest 20 minutes ever. Good thing the owner -- who juggled many hats: cook, cashier, bus boy  -- and his Man Friday had amusing stories to share.
After what seemed to be an eternity, our dinner was finally ready! The huge  slab o' ribs was definitely worth more than the $14 we paid!! The chicken wings were crisped just right. Overall, the meal was perhaps one of the biggest and best midnight "snacks" we've ever had!!!
I've gone back a number of times since and just like the first time, I've always had to wait longer than I would have wanted to...Some customers lose patience and walk out, but there are more of those who, like me, know that patience is a GREAT virtue especially if it means being rewarded with a great meal of (inexpensive) tender, juicy ribs!
PS: the owner just hired more people so service might improve in the coming weeks...
I went here a couple of times while I was at Loyola. Pretty good greasy, fried chicken at really reasonable prices. And they have a good sized menu, including snacks and desserts. On a student budget, it was great place to get a yummy meal. Haven't been here since -- but still looks like it remains the same!
