    diners sitting at tables in a diner
    Ed M.

    This is one of my go 2 breakfast and lunch spots in Hobe Sound/Stuart area. Great food, staff rocks and the ambiance is a '59's diner. Ask for Big Nate and tell them I sent ya!

    This place is always busy and we know why - it's the best spot for breakfast around our little area! We love coming here on the weekends, you seat yourself at any clean table - service is quick and everyone works together to ensure the customers are happy! Food is always great - nothing fancy but I don't want a fancy breakfast on the weekends. I want a mom and pop breakfast joint that serves out great food every time and you can ensure that is what happens here!

    Pancakes and bacon

    The shopping center is run down and dirty yet Sammy J's continues to sparkle nonetheless. This is a breakfast/lunch diner with a repeat clientelle from the neighboring communities. Most of the time, the food is really good but during season...the food comes out very slow and cold. Everyone seems to adjust acordingly and I didn't see any frustration on the the happy faces of customers nor did the constant influx of people seem to faze the waitstaff. Our order of pancakes and a basic egg plate took forever to get to us and positively took a backseat to the grilled cranberry orange muffin even tho it arrived late and with one side missing a huge piece (the waitress was willing to replace it but we opted to keep it) it turned out to be pretty good. The breakfasts on the other hand were cold and the pancakes were thick and tough. Why doesn't anyone serve a decent portion of butter with pancakes? Uuurrrghhhh. All said, we probably are going to take a break from this place until maybe summer. Afterall, there's so many items on the menu we haven't yet tried. Until next time...

    This is my second visit to this great little restaurant. Visited a few weeks ago and had an…read moreexcellent experience. So, why review again? Experiences can be one-offs that aren't truly representative of the restaurant. You place your order at a station right at the entrance. They bring your food to your table. One note: you pour your own coffee (or tea in my case) at the coffee bar. Nothing fancy, with plastic ware, styrofoam cups and baskets for your food. But, as in my previous visit, the service was excellent. The girl taking your order is always pleasant and helpful and she will visit you during your meal to make sure everything is ok. I decided to try a different dish. This time I ordered the Taylor Ham and egg "hoagie" (they call it "pork roll" which means they come from south Jersey). In addition to my hoagie I also ordered a cinnamon roll. The delightfully fresh bread hoagie comes jam packed with two eggs and plenty of Taylor Ham. I ordered my eggs over easy to assure plenty of yolk and that's exactly how it arrived. Be forewarned, the sandwich is big (my brother took 1/2 home) so make sure you leave plenty of room or better still share with your guest. As mentioned, I also wanted to try their jumbo cinnamon roll which I had passed on, on my previous visit. The server asked if I wanted the cinnamon roll grilled. I chose to have it heated and buttered (via microwave), which threw a curve at my server who had obviously never had that request before however, it came out exactly as I had requested. A warm, moist cinnamon roll with melted butter provides the perfect salty/sweet balance that made this a delight to eat. Although full from our sandwiches, we couldn't stop until we demolished that jumbo cinnamon roll! The bottom line: As with all my reviews my "customer so what" ... would I come back? Since this is my second visit in the span of two weeks, the answer is obvious... absolutely.

    What a HUGE disappointment and a ruined Mother's Day dinner!…read moreSadly, we have been coming since they opened and will not be back, and will be sure to warn others to not waste their money. A 5pm reservation would make one think, quality service and a fresh hot kitchen! Well something certainly has changed in the last few months because we received neither! After explaining to our server how excited we were to be there for Mother's Day and how it was our parents first visit we placed an order of 3 appetizers (all more bland and less hot than they should be) - keep in mind the restaurant was mostly empty. As we waited for our entrees (an unusually long time) our server didn't check on drinks or water. When 3 of our 4 entrees did come out, we waited for the 4th as manners would expect. Five minutes, 10 minutes, still nothing. When I finally was able to flag down our server there was some excuse about "mixed up tickets" and that a "manager would be right over." 15 more minutes, all were done with their meals as my husband still awaited his entree. No manager, no server. Completely unacceptable. As my sweet husband cut into his filet, completely over cooked and rubbery, was supposed to be medium- he dare not send it back as everyone else was done and he felt terrible. To make matters worse, my father's fish, was loaded with blood line, ruining the flavor of the meat of the snapper. The least they could do was send a manager over. $200 later- (no alcohol) we will definitely never be back and you shouldn't waste your time or money either. There are plenty of other great restaurants around that will take far better care of you and your family.
