I love that they use an online reservation program so we were seated shortly after we arrived. We had a variety of entrees including Shrimp & Grits, corned beef hash, lazy stack, cheese omelet, and a couple of trusty plates! Everyone was happy with their entrees and had plenty of food. Highly recommend and I look forward to going back again soon!

I wish I had more of an appetite to try some of their other dishes! The pancake was what you would expect. It was pretty good! I don't know if I would get it again just because of how big it is, but it's a fun novelty that groups of friends should try.

A glass display case sits empty at the hostess station displaying nothing but lots of smudgy fingerprints. A fitting analogy to the current Courier unfortunately. Patrons come in for lunch and wait several minutes for somebody to seat them. The service suffers from understaffing. I ordered a Veggie Dagwood sandwich. Remember Dagwood Bumstead and his multi layer skyscraper sandwiches?? Not here! This was more of a very dry bread sandwich. Where are the layers of veggies? The layers of cheese? The alfalfa sprouts? The sauce? My sandwich was served with a stale pickle. I asked if I could order a side like potato salad. They had coleslaw - $4 up charge. The place needs to be cleaned up! Put a little pride into the menu.

We are heading back to Wisconsin, from Florida (day 2). We were ready for lunch and a driver…read moreswitch so I was in charge of finding a place. Reviews on Yelp were not stellar for the area, for a quick sit down meal, until I saw Sammy's listed. Even though it was not right next to the highway we decided to head there. I believed it's a locally owned small business and they were still serving breakfast, Parking was not a problem and when we entered, we were greeted immediately. Our server came to our table shortly after sitting, she was pleasant, and checked in with us multiple times. My husband had biscuits and gravy; which was perfectly seasoned. One friend got an omelet with pancakes, she said everything was good, especially the pancakes because she's really picky about those. My other friend got the supreme burrito. He said was good but nothing he would get again. When he cut into it, it fell apart because there was nothing binding it together. It had plain ground beef and lots of lettuce His only suggestion would be to add some type of sauce or seasoning, offer sour cream. I had a BLT, fries, and coffee. The BLT was a normal sandwich and tasted good, the coffee was good, the fries were pretty basic and by the time they got to me, they were on the cooler side. I only ever planned to eat a couple otherwise I would have asked for a replacement. I scored this a 4 star because it was a nice place and if someone was asking for recommendations I wouldn't hesitate to send them here.

We ordered a spread of eggs, hash browns, French toast, waffles, oatmeal, and biscuits with gravy. The oats were instant, the hashbrowns were a little soggy, and the waffle didn't taste like much.
