I came with my dad to Sammy's Café for breakfast. My dad mentioned this is one of his go-to spots to go to with his coworker because they are always quick and friendly. This location of Sammy's Café is off Foothill Blvd in the same plaza as Vons, but it is on the outskirts by the Vons gas. As soon as we came in we were welcomed and seated. They had a really large menu, with all of the diner classics and some Mexican breakfast specials too. We focused on the breakfast since we were both in a breakfast mood. My dad has the Pork Chops & Eggs ($17.59) with hashbrowns and wheat toast and Coffee ($?). I had the Bacon & Eggs ($14.99) with country potatoes and biscuits and gravy and an Orange Juice ($?). We both enjoyed our breakfast and my dad had food to take home for a subsequent meal. I think this might be one of the spots for our rotation. I'm looking forward to trying more of their menu in the future. read more

Came here for some brunch, and I was pleasantly surprised by this place, the service was top notch, the waiter was very attentive to us, the place looked like a diner clean, and nice. The food was decent, I ordered the chilaquiles with meat, I was happy they served it with a cooked jalapeño, the fried tortillas and red sauce were delicious. I wasn't that impressed with the fajitas they served with it, the asada didn't have much flavor. The egg was cooked perfectly which really made the meal. My fiancé ordered the chicken and waffles and she said it was delicious. One piece of her waffle was a little soggy, but she wasn't upset. I would definitely come back to this place if I'm in the area for sure. read more

Food was mediocre, server was kind. Over priced for diner food. I got the veggie omelet And the veg were still cold and hard. read more

This is such a cute diner. Great American breakfast food and great service. Friendly, attentive. If you like mom and pops - this is for you! We asked for crispy bacon which is usually hard to get at most spots, they got it right the first time! Crepes were yummy! read more

So glad we found this location as we love Sammy's. So friendly and comfortable. Service was impeccable and food was good and affordable.

We love to try all Breakfast spots in Southern California (near our areas) sadly we won't be back, overpriced for what you get, food didn't seem like it was "home cooked" like out of a can, not what we are used to. It might be someone's cup of tea, but not ours read more

Anazing food and service! The cinnamon rolls are SOOO good! You should definitely try them out sometime!

Came in to try a different place. It's a cute 50's style dinner. Totally dig the car prints on the booth seats. We noticed a handful of regulars. Food was good and good selection. I got corned beef (from the can) I think it's the best lol extra crispy. We enjoyed it and probably come back. read more

We had been to Sammy's numerous times for breakfast, which is very good... so we decided to try dinner.. There were five of us ordering a variety of menu items.. We started with onion rings while we waited for our 5th guest and these were quite satisfying.. For Dinner, three of us had the Shrimp Dinner ( 2 for $30) two had salad and I had the chili beans we all had baked potatoes.. We all agree dinner was a solid 4.5.. The other two had country fried steak.. The one who is hardest to please gave his dinner a 10!! We topped it off with Hot Fudge Sunday's !! Overall excellent!! read more

A great little diner in Upland CA in the VONs parking lot. It's on the backside of burgers and brews It has an extensive diner menu with breakfast items through dinner. American and Mexican. We ordered breakfast this time and it was wonderful. Our server Fernando was exceptional, attentive but not over bearing. Noticed drinks were low and refilled them without being asked. All good things and a great job by all staff there read more

Headed over to this café after a massage at Body Centre Spa (check out my review) Honestly, I didn't expect this spot to be so busy. They have an extensive menu, specials for the day were; Cheese Blintzes with 2 eggs sausage or bacon for $14.69 Breakfast Sando ham, eggs, avocado, cheese, on a grilled sourdough and potatoes $12.99 Chilaquiles Rancheros $16.99 See what I mean?! Anywho, we opted for Sammy's weekly special; choose one , strawberry pancakes, chocolate chip pancakes, half banana French toast, half strawberry waffle which came with 3 eggs, e bacon, 3 sausage links and hash browns or country potatoes for $15.99. My partner wanted regular pancakes and I added sourdough bread. That was more than enough for both of us! If we were ever back in the area, I would definitely give them a visit! read more

Their service, their workers and their food is great. We go there all the time. It's like part of home

Sammy's is great, can't beat their price of $9.99 for Breakfast and the staff is very friendly

Had a really good breakfast this morning. My favorite here is the Cinnamon Roll French Toast Combo. My over medium eggs were perfectly cooked. The cinnamon roll French was also really good and a beautiful golden brown. It took a while to get my first coffee refill but after that, my cup was kept full. I would definitely return next time I'm in the Upland area. I have eaten several times at the Calimesa location but the food at this location is much better and more consistent. read more

I am glad to finally have tried Sammy's Cafe. I'm always getting groceries or gas in this shopping center and see it and decided to try it for breakfast with my husband a couple weeks ago. The outside is decorated with fun cars and then we walked inside and it's a lot bigger than we thought. Definite diner vibes and lots of regulars, I think we were the youngest ones there. We were greeted and seated right away. My husband and I both did a breakfast and he got a half waffle and I got French toast as my add on. I think their prices changed recently from comparing previous menus so it was a little more pricier than we were expecting. The food was good, but I felt like something was missing. I really liked my French toast, but the strawberry was a little too much for me. I think I would stick with the breakfast and not have an add on next time because it was a lot of food. We liked it here and would come again due to the convenient location and kind service. I would like to try more of their food options the next time we stop in. read more

Very yummy food and excellent food and always has great service! I highly recommend eating the CA burger. This is one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. The meat is very savory/juicy and comes with nice toasted bread. A burger is so easy to mess up (I've had many bland burgers) but this burger is better than in n out! The side of French fries were fresh and their ranch recipe is so good. The staff is always friendly and warm. They're willing to meet food accommodations read more

My husband and I love this place. Its a typical American diner and the staff is really nice and friendly. We have never had to wait for a table. We are always seated quickly. The food is good and there are many different food options. I highly recommend. read more

There was quite a wait. They were not really paying attention to the sign in sheets so if you were watching, they went out of order. After being seated, there was another wait. We placed our order, when the food arrived it looked good, tasted good. Price was reasonable. I have to add both my granddaughter and I got sick and the only thing we had in common was the eggs. The place is loud, crowded. read more

A group of us come in every week for breakfast and find the food and service to be very good. Our server, Martin is excellent as is the rest of the waitstaff. They make sure our coffee cups are topped off. I have been in for lunch and dinner periodically and found our meals to be as good as our breakfasts. It is a comfortable place to dine. read more

I'm a first time visitor to this place. I had the eggs with pancakes that were so delicious. Service was excellent and the ambiance fantastic. Very friendly staff. I will be returning again. read more

Great food and great service! The atmosphere is welcoming and noise level is comfortable...and Victor is the best!

Haven't been here in a while, I am 90 and no longer drive, but I always LOVED to eat here. Food never disappointed in the years I ate here. I never had a server who wasn't the best, as if they had part ownership and wanted repeat customers. They watched our drinks and were quick to refill and ask if we wanted anything else, and if the food was satisfactory. I really miss eating here and I think next time my grand nephew invites me to eat out I will suggest going here but there are so many favorite foods here it will be hard to choose. My grand nephew and his son will love the restaurant because it will interest them, they love cars, which are accented.. read more

We came for breakfast and this friendly diner made some very good food. I ordered eggs scrambled soft (they were perfect!) Bacon and house potatoes crispy (again cooked perfect) and French toast delicious . They had American food, Mexican food, and even a little Jewish food (blintzes on Today's special )!! The service was fantastic. The only thing they could do better is get a better quality coffee. We're definitely coming back again. read more

Hadn't been into Sammy's Café in quite some time, so this past Sunday morning my wife and I stopped in for breakfast. We both had the Sammy's Weekend Special; Sausages, eggs, hash browns, pancakes along with biscuits and gravy. After a breakfast like this, we wondered why we hadn't come back sooner! The food was delicious and more than enough to fill us up. The sausages and eggs were cooked perfectly, the pancakes were light and fluffy and the biscuits were not too dense and the gravy hot and delicious. The service was great and the prices were extremely reasonable. What more could you ask for" We now just need to return and try them out for dinner as my friend has suggested. I highly recommend Sammy's Café for a great meal. read more
