Sam's Cafe — Restaurant in Ceres

Get there early because it fills up quick. Tons of locals. So I waited 7-8 minutes. If there is room, you can sit at the bar. I was greeted as soon as I got in. Talked with some locals outside and suggested the chicken fried steak and the biscuits and gravy. I was served water right when I was seated. Minutes later order taken and I received my order in 6-7 minutes later. I ordered chicken fried steak with biscuits and gravy and hash browns. You can also choose country potatoes or bread. For the biscuits and gravy or a pancake or french toast and of course eggs however you want it. The cost was 17.99 but WELL WORTH IT. The portions are huge. The biscuits and gravy it’s own plate the chicken fried steak on it’s own plate and eggs and hash brown on another. The chicken fried steak covered in country gravy. The steak is seasoned to perfection reason why I say this is because the gravy was bland in my opinion. I tasted the biscuits and gravy and it seemed that the biscuits were made daily and seemed homemade. Soft and delicious but the gravy was just bland. The eggs were just eggs and the hash browns were just hash browns. This place a gem. The 4 women that run around get the food and check you out and then clean up to get the next people in are remarkable. Service with a smile and the cook or cooks are ROCKING. I would definitely come back and great job...

September 23rd. 2023 Early this morning, I was having breakfast at this place.

LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE AND HUMANITY FROM THE OWNER.

When I witnessed the OWNER of this restaurant treating another elderly customer very poorly. THE OWNER has NO CUSTOMER SERVICE whatsoever and NO humanity for others.

The restaurant has a rule that all customers need to wait outside until they get a table assigned. Which I understand!! However, rules could be deferred depends each scenario.

A family came in with an elderly lady ON A WALKER, they were asked to wait outside in a chilly morning and to expect the older lady be standing up until a table was available. This treatment is unacceptable.!!!!! And worse to say it was THE OWNER OF THIS BUSINESS who asked this older lady to wait outside.

Sometimes rules must be different depends on each situation. THIS ACTION WAS NOT KIND NORE CONSIDERATE AT ALL to the stage of this older-lady on a walker specially knowing how cold this morning was….

I WITNESSED THE OWNERS TRUE COLD-HEART TOWARDS PEOPLE & FOR THIS REASON I WILL NO LONGER COME TO THIS RESTAURANT NORE MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

I will not support a business whose OWNER shows NO CARE and HUMANITY towards other.

I hope you...

I came here about a year ago with a business partner, and the food was great, and the service was great. However, today’s service made it so that I will not be returning to this place. I talked this place up to my fiancé, and today I was embarrassed. The atmosphere was very cold and cliquish. I saw several people receiving nonstop service as well as regulars. My orange juice never got refilled. I received burnt toast, and the potatoes tasted like the water they were soaking in. The Tabasco sauce on the table had suds in it, and I did not trust putting it on my food. Towards the end, the waitress became friendly all of a sudden on our way out. The "garbage" omelet was decent, but I almost finished it completely when my new toast came back to the table. I will not be coming back, and I’ll let all my friends and family know about my experience this morning because it ruined it. We should have went to Denny's how we originally intended because we already know what to expect and their service has been great lately. I just thought i'd be spontaneous since we were...
