Breakfast Bliss at Sam's Family Restaraunt – A Culinary Masterpiece! 🥓🥚

Ladies and gentlemen, prepare your taste buds for an epic adventure, because Sam's Family Restaraunt has just redefined breakfast as we know it! I’m talking about their "One Egg, Bacon & Hashbrowns with White Toast" breakfast—FOR ONLY $10.49! Yes, you read that correctly. Only $10.49 for a breakfast that will have you questioning how you ever lived without it.

Let’s start with the egg. Oh, the egg! This is not just any egg—this is an egg that has been cradled by the breakfast gods themselves. It’s cooked to absolute perfection: the yolk, a golden orb of happiness, ready to burst forth like a tiny sun spreading joy across your plate. And the egg white? Fluffy, delicate, and pure, like a cloud that’s decided to grace your morning with its presence. One egg to rule them all!

But wait, there’s more! The bacon. Oh, the bacon. Imagine the crispest, most succulent strip of bacon you’ve ever encountered. Now, multiply that by infinity, and you might come close to the magnificence of the bacon at Sam's. It’s not just bacon; it’s a crispy love letter from the universe directly to your taste buds.

And the hashbrowns? Dear Hashbrown Connoisseurs, prepare to weep tears of joy. These golden-brown beauties are fried to crispy perfection, with a tender interior that could bring a tear to a potato’s eye. They are the stuff of legend, the kind of hashbrowns you’ll tell your grandkids about.

Let’s not forget the white toast. It’s no ordinary toast—it’s a toasty symphony! Lightly browned, perfectly buttered (if you ask nicely), and with just the right amount of crunch to make your breakfast experience truly complete. I’m convinced that the bread must be handpicked from the finest loaves in all the land.

Now, the coffee. Oh my, the coffee! If caffeine were a superhero, Sam's coffee would be the caped crusader of your morning. It’s rich, robust, and smoother than a jazz saxophonist on a Sunday afternoon. One sip, and you’re ready to take on the world—or at least order a second cup.

In conclusion, Sam’s Family Restaraunt doesn’t just serve breakfast—they serve an experience, a journey through culinary excellence, and all for the low, low price of $10.49. If you haven’t tried it yet, drop everything and get to Sam’s immediately. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry (tears of joy), and you’ll wonder how you ever lived without this breakfast masterpiece....

Sam's desperately needs to update their interior. The decor is trapped in the 90s and the place has seen better days. Their low prices make ordering a plate of pancakes easy, and the food is genuinely good.

You can tell that most of the customers are repeat customers that usually show up with some family members and groups of friends because the menu has very reasonable prices, making any visit easy on the wallet. The staff seem to have a friendly demeanor with the customers they personally know, but our table was left quietly in the corner with little interaction with the waitress. Not necessarily a bad thing.

On the other hand, the wait staff yell across the restaurant when they're calling customers from the door to the table, and the wait will be miserable. We spent about 1h45m total in the restaurant including waiting in line and dining. To me, it felt a bit slow.

I also hope someone from the staff sees this so they can clean up behind the cash stand. It's all a bit unsightly and there are lost relics on the shelves with notes stating it was left on a table more than two months ago in May. To me, that just indicates they are not dusting and cleaning the shelves for months at a time. Not good!

Altogether I give Sam's a genuine "Okay" rating, but I probably won't be back anytime soon. The usual customers will probably continue to love this place and patrons will line up out the door regardless. It's...

Ehhhhhhh... Not worth it. Wife and I couldn't finish our meals because the food wasn't great. We got two deluxe breakfasts and wish we just went to Tim's or Robin's. The food was expensive and I feel like we didn't pay for the food just a massive amount of disappointment. The sausage was just gross and tasted undercooked. Our toast was old and chewy and not buttered. Hashbrowns were just frozen freezer burned potato chunks and were only edible with massive amounts of ketchup. We got sunny side up eggs and they were cooked over easy. The bacon and ham were fine. How does breakfast get messed up? It's the quickest and easiest meal to serve. As a side note; Why do I want an orange slice in my eggs? Who does that?

We were curious to try this since they have a big cult following and people rave about it. We won't be back because it is highly overrated and expensive. I feel like half of the island doesn't have taste buds anymore or they just never had actual food fit for human consumption because the worst restaurants are rated well. And if the excuse is because it's a cheap "greasy spoon" or whatever diner then you've never had real diner food from an...
