Samantha's Restaurant

Samantha's breakfast food is amazing! Their breakfast is still one of my favorites in the area. Definitely worth visiting if you love local breakfast places!

I see homemade biscuits on the menu and I instantly think traditional buttermilk homemade biscuit. This was not that. This was more of a roll. Other than that... I thought the breakfast we got was OK. The wife and I got the egg, hash, meat, biscuit plate. Everything was cooked well, service was great... my coffee cup, I never saw the bottom of the cup. The thing we did try was the Bacon Cheese Stuffed Tator tots. Fantastic. I know a little odd for breakfast. But well worth it. Overall the cost was cheap, food was good, if we are back in the area... we'll be back.

I grew up in this area, and Samantha's was a common option for my mom and me. Back then - and I'm dating myself - they were open for dinner. I have fond memories of coming here with my mom and, when in town recently, decided to stop in for lunch. It was like stepping back in time. There were a few updates to the interior but it was largely the same (and I am 100% convinced it's the same cash register at the counter). Service was excellent. The waitress was warm and friendly.I was tempted by the German fries (my typical order) but went with the turkey bacon melt instead. It was grilled to perfection. The French fries on the side were good enough. It's the local breakfast/diner that made me fall in love with local breakfast/diners. You're not going here for a Michelin-rated experience. Enjoy the local flavor and the local gossip.

Sunday morning should be a peaceful day for a breakfast but not at Samantha's. I was seated and waited 20 minutes to be served. No water and asked three different people. ...but then it got real interesting One of the employees kept shouting from the kitchen she needs to find another job, over worked etc. Employee disputes need to be taken out back. A mist snickers it was embarrassing. Not sure if this employee was a waiter or cool because was slow and food and presentation horrible. How can you mess up eggs and toast? Burn the toast and serve the eggs hard as a rock. Go to Samantha's Portage and save the disappointment. That location had great staff and more innovative menu with taste!

We just love Samantha's for breakfast! The staff is always friendly and the food is ssssoooo gggooooddd! My kids love the big pancakes with chocolate chips. My go to is the Greek omelet with extra feta. I don't know how they manage it but every omelet is perfect with no burn or brown spots. (I need to know how to do that!). Today we walk in and the staff looked a bit stressed. They said we only have one cook today so your meal may take longer than normal. We told them not to worry, we are not in a hurry just here for a good breakfast. Our food was perfect and really not longer wait at all. People, please remember to be kind. Places of all types are short staffed and things are not "normal". Continue to support your local businesses!

Nice atmosphere. People were friendly but Service was slow. I ordered the eggs Benedict and he ordered the chicken fried steak and eggs. I was excited because I love eggs Benedict. Unfortunately, my food was lukewarm and the hollandaise sauce had way too much lemon in it. All I could taste was lemon. His gravy over his chicken fried steak tasted like flour and salt. We won't be coming back.

Everything was delicious and fresh I had a ham and cheese omelet. Highly recommend this wonderful breakfast place across from the University

What a nice surprise. Samantha's was so good this morning for breakfast. It's always ok, but today was outstanding. On this cold, snowy morning with lots of cars in the parking lot, I got a booth right away and coffee within 1 minute. Everyone was sprinting around helping customers. Bacon, eggs, shredded hash browns and rye toast delivered in short order. All perfectly prepared, just like it should be!! It wasn't too noisy, a quiet conversational ambiance. Very clean and attractive.

Went there on my sister's recommendation. Got the Cubano sandwich and potato dippers. Really good. Potatoes not what I expected, but good nonetheless. They're like Frito dippers.

Food was ok, average. Service was excellent. Ambiance is casual family situation. I would go if I had no other option but not my top choice bc food was ok. I ordered burrito and ultimate scramble
