Man did this place disappoint no one greets you when you walk in, it's seat yourself, which is…read morefine, but a welcome greeting goes a long way. The place is decorated nicely and clean. The food left much to be desired. Our table of 7 ordered a variety of dishes such as the Rise and Shine, Country Breakfast Skillet, a pancake, and breakfast sandwich. The grits were watery with zero salt or butter. We tried to doctor them up by adding lots of salt and butter but it was useless The eggs had no salt or pepper although they do a nice job of cooking over easy eggs which some places fail at. Homefries, which were really hasbrowns, were mushy and bland. The pancake was dry. The bacon and toast were good.

My husband and I were able to carry a conversation and could hear one another. Now the chairs at the table were comfortable!! I would come back as one of the main reasons!! The decor was eye catching and unique. Mikey ordered the pork chop special no substitutions allowed for the fries and no problem with that hey it's the special! I ordered the smother chicken based on the recommendation of another yelp post. Excellent flavor. Chicken was nice and tender easy to chew (I have issues with eating certain foods). Honestly the chicken be served without the cheese on it and just the veggies on it and it would be good. If we drive through town again we would stop in.

I've been visiting Tipp City for the past ten years to see my in‑laws, and every trip we make our…read moreusual stops--the Hotel Gallery across the street, Harrison's, the familiar favorites. And for all those years, my wife kept saying, "We really should try Sam & Ethel's." Somehow, this was the first time we finally made it happen--and I'm glad we did. We came in for breakfast the day before heading back home. We arrived around 9 a.m., and here's a tip for first‑timers: call ahead to get on the waitlist. You don't need to be present, and it can save you a little time. We thought we were next, but another couple who had called ahead slipped in before us. It felt a bit unfair in the moment, but honestly, good for them--they used the system the way it's meant to be used. Once seated, everything that followed was exactly what a classic hometown breakfast spot should deliver. The menu is full of comforting options--silver dollar or plate‑size pancakes, buckwheat or regular, with or without pecans, all served with hot syrup. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully made. I ordered the BELT (Bacon, Egg, Lettuce, Tomato) sandwich, which was excellent. They asked if I wanted cheese and offered several options; I chose cheddar, though it didn't end up on the sandwich. Honestly, it was still great without it. I also tried a silver dollar buckwheat pancake with pecans, and it was fantastic--nutty, warm, and just the right amount of indulgent. The coffee was a little weak for my taste, but that was the only small miss. I also sampled some of my wife's breakfast burrito and my mother‑in‑law's toast and hash browns. The hash browns were especially memorable--you could really taste the potatoes, thicker and less fried than what you'd find at a Waffle House. The buttered toast was excellent too, simple but done perfectly. And I have to mention our host, who delivered one of the funniest, most unexpected lines of the morning. She walked up and said, "Can I hit anyone up..." then paused just long enough for me to wonder what was coming next, before finishing with, "...with coffee." I was briefly alarmed, then immediately reassured--and I couldn't help but laugh. It was such a genuine, human moment that added to the charm of the place. Everyone at our table enjoyed their breakfast, and the wait--especially for a Saturday morning--was surprisingly reasonable. My father‑in‑law picked up the check, which was a thoughtful way to end a really pleasant meal. After a decade of visiting Tipp City, I'm glad we finally made it to Sam & Ethel's. It's easy to see why it's a local favorite, and it's definitely earned a spot on our regular rotation from now on.

I heard about this place from a friend and thought I would try this place. Breakfast was okay , I ordered the Biscuits and Gravy and was disappointed by the Sams Club Biscuits. They were not good. It took a lot of gravy to make them even soft enough to swallow. Pancakes were good but nothing special. My Wife and I went back for dinner thinking maybe it was better. I ordered the fried chicken , it was dry and over cooked and tasted like it just came out of box in the freezer. My wife ordered the Pork Chop and Home Fries . The pork chop had a funny taste to it and didn't seem to be fully cooked. The home fries were black , I have never seen black home fries and they were not edible to day the least. The server was apologetic and nice about it but nothing was done. We probably won't be going back. I would also like to add that when my wife walked back to the restroom she overheard loud cussing and laughing coming from the kitchen that was just not appropriate for a family diner. Certainly not impressed with Loretta's. read more

This is such a great place for home cooked meals that are so reasonable. They always have about 20 different pies for dessert and the staff treats you like family. Lynette is amazing. Been eating here for years sometimes almost every day. You must try them. read more

At either rate, TRY IT! The breakfast portions border on ridiculously large, so bring an appetite, share, or prepare to ask for a to-go box. The hash browns are magnificent, and the egg sandwiches always toasted to perfection. Hubby loves the country-fried steak with eggs over easy, and the daily breakfast special (it's the same every day) is mammoth: 2 eggs, hash browns or home fries, your choice of meat, 2 slices of toast, and coffee for like six bucks. This is hangover medicine, for sure, but also just a great place to grab a bite while reading the Sunday paper. The atmosphere is as country diner as you get--booths, generally packed at breakfast time, with a counter with stools at front. There are photos of the food all over the walls, and white boards displaying the gargantuan menu are everywhere. Expect lots of dudes in hunting gear or overalls and John Deer hats--that should tell you how real this place is. It's truly great "down-home" cooking. Lunch and dinner menus are wonderful too--they serve buffalo burgers from a nearby ranch--though as you can tell I'm super partial to breakfast. If you're in the area, or just traveling through, be sure to check this out! (Note: They only take cash, though there is an ATM near the cash register)

We phoned at 5:50 pm stating we wanted to inform them we we were ready in space 3 but were early. She stated she was bagging it up as we speak. Eleven minutes went by and no order. My husband walked in. Our order was setting there. The lady said I am not sure what happened your order is ready it has been setting there. My husband said we have been setting in spot 3 for 11 minutes waiting since we phoned and was told then she was bagging our order. She had no response and he walked out. We tipped $5 on the $30 to go order, come on now! I asked my husband to count the chicken it was all there then we drove home. The chicken was dry. In the past their broasted chicken has ALWAYS been good. This tasted old not fresh but yet it was hot however, not seasoned. The fries were as if they were at the bottom of the bag. Several small pieces versus the larger fries. I have never been served them when I have ate in their restaurant before. I thought that was odd. The coleslaw appeared to be days old. I was not impressed due to the taste of the food and lack of getting me my order on time. I will be choosing someplace else to spend by hard earned money. Too many disappointments here.
