Sam's For Play Cafe & Catering — Restaurant in Santa Rosa

Sam's - there is definitely a reason this place was a favorite with my coworkers when I showed up in 2015!

The service - great! The staff quickly learn who you are, what you enjoy, and usually know what you're going to order. This is one of the easier restaurants to go to and achieve "regular" status!

The food - Reasonably priced, generous portions. Don't see quite what you want on the menu? Ask your server! Generally, they are happy to work with you to create a meal that you'll love.

The wait - I mainly speak from experience on Sunday mornings. There is hardly any wait at 8:00AM.

I was introduced to Sam's by a good friend and quickly became a regular. Had my first (homemade by Sam) piece of strawberry pie here. Divine! Love the clam chowder with shrimp. Huge freshly made biscuits are buttery, light and fluffy. The salsa on your table did not come out of a jar, it was made in the kichen. I've had some smooth lattes and decent Bloody Mary's. The staff works together like a loving family, hustling and bustling through tiny spaces, always ready with a smile and a talent for making you feel at home. The decor is American kitsch in a roadside museum sort of style. They're too good not to give a try and remember to tip your...
