Don't let the warn cover fool you, Sammy's Cafe serves good food at reasonable prices. We stopped by early one Sunday morning in our ongoing tour of Diners in Southern California and my wife and I were pleasantly surprised by the food and the service. I also love the fact that Sammy's is open at 6 AM on a Sunday as we are both early risers. My wife had the Bacon Cheddar Quesadilla and I had my standard evaluative Sausage and Eggs with a side of Biscuits and Gravy. Both my wife and I thought the food was good and is traditional American style Diner food with distinctive Mexican flavors. Both her and I are eager to return to try a more traditional Mexican meal for lunch or diner. read more

I ordered the fried chicken dinner and literally the pieces were tiny. I mean the leg was smaller than my thumb! I'm not exaggerating...The mashed potatoes had gravy on them that was cold in clumps. When I pointed it out to the manager her answer was "I know". This experience was terrible...yelp requires me give a star rating 1star being the lowest but seriously this place doesn't even deserve that. Unfortunate. read more

The service is always great ,the food is better than before. Salsa we very good. Food served fast and coffee was hot.

EMPTY PLATES SHOULD TELL YOU ENOUGH! This place is very clean, food is a strong 4.5 and the servers are fast nice and accurate. Did not have to ask for anything it was offered upon arrival of our meal! read more

Sammy’s Cafe - EMPTY PLATES SHOULD TELL YOU ENOUGH - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rialto, California

Have seen this place for some time, decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, it's not all that happy. First of all, the service was good. My server was attentive. Started out by ordering a diet coke. When tasted it, it was flat, so I exchanged it for a strawberry lemonade that had almost no strawberry flavor. I ordered there 8oz steak with a salad. When I got salad, my blue cheese dressing was very runny. Got the steak, and it was so thin and tough that I did not enjoy it. The whole time trying to eat my meal, I was fighting several Flys. The only part of my meal I enjoyed was the loaded baked potato. read more

This place has wonderful food, but you need to regulate your cooks. I ordered a Turkey Melt, but substitute tuna (I'm allergic to most meats, and hate that, but here I am having to substitute A LOT). I paid the Turkey Melt price, but received a regular Tuna Melt with just tuna and cheese. I specifically wanted the cheese, avocado, tomato, and Ortega chillies that comes on the turkey Melt, and when the girl showed the cook, he threw on avocado and gave it back to her (cursing her a bit while doing so). The other waitress looked at me with a thumbs up, saying it's good now, and the other girl (the hostess) could only apologize because she felt bad. Needless to say, I ended up with a Tuna Melt with avocado. Sammy's is lucky to have such wonderful business among the patrons of Rialto, but if your cooks continue to be jerks to staff and customers, it could all change. Not happy about the service (and my husband even said, that's why you don't tip takeout before checking the order). read more

Very quiet little diner. We were actually the only other people in there besides one guy by himself . The waitress was polite. We were craving breakfast at 2:30 PM and we got it !! it was great. I even ordered a ranch salad just to make sure they have hobuttermilk when I go back this place, reminds me of these old American diners that are slowly dying, I will be back and I hope that we come during a time where we can run the show and feel like we own the place again food great service. I can't do anything but give them a five star. I can't really find a flaw besides the fact that the side salad doesn't have cucumbers with that wonderful ranch. Oh well, I'll just sneak a cucumber in next time because since we had breakfast, I'm craving that steak and shrimp plate and there's a few other things I want to scratch off on my list. We will be back. What a cool little gym hope this place is keeping the bills in the green and stays open I will say that the outdoor landscape was one out of 10 they really should focus on that but sometimes it's hard to make ends meet either way. Food is what counts staff was polite. Homerun. read more

Amazing place! Been here twice, enjoyed the food each time and can't wait to go back again! read more

Don't waste your time coming here. They'll never take your order. They'll pass by like million times. I even told the hostess and still no one came by to our table. They only brought our drinks and that was it. We left and no apology or anything from the hostess. This was today 10/23/24 @11:37 and we did payed our sodas. But Angelica never came to take our order!!!!!!!!! read more

Service was terrible. The food was not great either and we trouble with the waiter because apparently there is a part of the menu you can only order if you are a senior. Really disappointed and all the staff looks lost. They forgot to give us our silverware and even their syrups was not good. I am not the type to leave reviews, nonetheless bad ones. Y'all need to work on improving the cafe read more

The food is okay no military discount. The potatoes were terrible. The coffee was OK not great. Do you need a new cook?

Food - wait for food and service was good! I would suggest the cinnamon roll platter!

The service was very good this location is nearby and I always wondered if it'd be good and I went there first time and it took me by shock how amazing this food was. The whole time this place has been near me and I've never tried it until now. I won't lie a am a picky eater and a little skeptical on what I try but this was worth trying! I liked the inside with some nice music playing in the back very calm atmosphere it was very soothing to stay there for a long time. Will definitely come back!! read more

Food is crap, landscaping is crap, need to finish painting, finish cleaning the outside, if the food is on the menu make sure you have it available read more

Food was good and the server was very good. The cashier was rude tho. We would still go back.

The interior seemed clean and good atmosphere. The pricing are a bit too high for what you receive. On the breakfast platter it states three eggs but when I received my plate it looked like I received half of one egg. The food was good and the service was also pretty good. read more

First time trying this place and possibly my last. Service was good. The food is where the problem is. So first off I ordered a salad and was told I could sample the soup to see if I wanted that instead. That never happened. I was given a soup so I decided to just eat it. I ordered the chicken dinner. At $13.99 I would expect the pieces to be big and they were not. Tiny like chicken wing pieces. Some of the pieces had try spots on them and the chicken was beyond sweet. I've never tasted chicken that was sweet. I felt like I was eating a sugary dessert. My garlic bread was missing in my order and waited 5 minutes for it to arrive. My baked potato was not cooked thoroughly. I ordered my son a grilled cheese sandwich with fries and that was yummy. On the menu it says the drink is included, but the waiter kept telling me it was not. My meal was a disaster. I have no plans in returning. read more

This place is my new favorite. The food is really good, flavorful, the staff is really nice, good atmosphere and clean. Service is fast.

Was just passing by and saw that this place is now opened. It's honestly not so bad and price reasonable. I had ordered the grande skillet it came with toast, bacon, and sausage. It tasted pretty good, better than most local places I've been to. And the portion was average, I could only eat half of it because of how much came with my meal. My boyfriend had their house breakfast and the pancakes tasted good and it they were pretty big. They have lots of options on the menu. One thing I didn't like was that since it is a new business they kept the old shades from previous businesses and it was already old and breaking apart, had stains on it. Overall the setting seemed new and clean. read more

The food was bland when I received my order which was, spaghetti with light can tomato flavor, salad with a watery ranch with no flavor and country fried steak with heartburn from so much preservatives. I asked my waiter just to hear that I'm right. Hey waiter your country fried steak is frozen isn't it? Waiter ( Yes mam sorry we don't make it fresh, why ? ) well it tastes horrible and I have heartburn now. I literally threw all my food away because it was so bland basic frozen food flavor. It reminds me of frozen TV dinners, which i only five times in my life. Cook at home people trust read more

Great place to go for dinner or breakfast , food is good love their menu Mexican and America food both so good ! BUT they need to stick to their business hours the Yelp has that they close at 9:00 PM we always rush to go there for diviner but their door is closed at 8:30 ! This had happen to us several times already. Will be great if they closed later than "9:00" pm really 8:30 PM read more

1st time trying them out. Extremely happy. Ordered the chicken nachos. Glad that it wasn't a bunch of chips with hardly any toppings. Nachos had beans, chicken, pico de gallo, guacamole, y crema. 100% fully loaded. Fajitas Trio: chicken, beef y shrimp. Love their side portions of beans n rice were full portions, you can see by the pic. All was to o, but next time we will sit n eat. ...oh yeah ordered extra guacamole and it was at least a cup n half...normally it's a 1/4 cup. read more

Sammy’s Cafe - Trio molcajetero. Chicken nachos. Extra guacamole. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rialto, California

I think the menu is hit or miss. The Philly Melt, appears to be a winner, at least my folks think so. The pot roast melt---------BIG SWING AND A MISS. I don't think I have ever had a pot roast that was this bland and mushy. There really wasn't any cheese to be a "melt". I would leave fewer stars, but maybe it was just an off day. Still, just to be safe.....don't order the Pot Roast Melt, you will be disappointed, unless you like very bland, very dry pot roast, with no cheese, even though it is supposed to be a melt. read more

Food was good service was ok not they best but the food was good but the service was nice first time I went then they next two times they seem lazy read more

Great place, great people and food. We're now regulars and enjoy our time there. I'd definitely recommend Sammy's!

The cooks here NAIL these recipes! They cook everything so damn well! The seasoning and spices the overall taste is amazing! The waitress's and waiters are always so welcoming which is huge for me. Never really a wait to sit and even if there was I would wait for this food. I always get the chicken fried steak it's the best I've ever had! (And I've had many) you should come, bring your friends and sit in Andreas section cause she always takes care of you!!!! read more

I absolutely adore the food and everyone that works there is really nice. Highly recommend.

Good food, reasonably priced with a Mexican flair. We have never had to wait for a table.The service is great and they always keep your coffee cup full. I totally recommend Sammy's. read more

My husband and I decided to grab a bite to eat here on a Friday night. We had never been and, honestly, didn't know what to expect. What we found was friendly service, delicious food, reasonable prices, and local patrons. It is really your typical local diner, but the menu items were numerous and I heard more than one nearby customer raving over their meal. I ordered the shredded beef taco and relleno plate. The rice and beans were delicious, reminding me of my mom's homemade rice, and the Relleno was savory and spicy. Yum! The taco was also scrumptious with plenty of added veggies and a crispy shell. To top it off, we ordered the oversized cinnamon roll as a take home treat. We will definitely be going back! read more

This place is hands down the best Mexican food ever! They serve big portions the staff is very friendly and on it.

Very good food and great service! Will definitely be back. I'm glad there's a nice breakfast spot close to where I live. I have already recommended Sammy's Cafe to my family. Give them a try! read more
