Sam's is always a great choice when choosing a meet up spot for dinner from the west sider to meet up with the east sider! Comfort food was the goal for tonight! Check - liver and onions, rice pilaf and gravy, green beans and a tossed salad. One sorority sister had the all-you-can eat walleye/cod special and never ordered another serving. lol My other sorority sister had the half slab of ribs, fries and green beans. They both had a bowl of gumbo that they loved. Service was excellent and the setting was find with Wheel of Fortune playing on the television above our table. read more

So we were in Royal Oak celebrating my birthday along with my new son in law that had never been to Detroit! Ferndale Grill was always my go to restaurant when I would come to the D and it was my dad's favorite place to bring me to before his passing last year. So it was a little bitter sweet coming back but it felt like home. From the home cook meals to the staff being so accommodating seating all 10 of us and getting our orders right and fast and hot! And the portions were huge! read more

No frills! Tasty with ample portions. Fair prices. Great service! Only negative is because of how its tucked away, I always drive by it and have to circle back around to get there. Can't see anyone being disappointed stopping in and by the looks of the people coming and going while there, I'm probably right read more

Where to begin when everything was fantastic?! What a hidden gem! Angie was a fabulous waitress! We had two kids in tow and she made sure they were well taken care of in all the best ways; from their delicious hot chocolates to their smiling pancakes. (Which were so cute!) Each and every one of us cleared our plates save for a bite or two. A sandwich, a Gyro, Mozzarella sticks and two pancakes were devoured. All of our food was hot and fresh! We were greeted warmly the moment we stepped in the door too. Thanks so much for a pleasant night with great food during all the chaos of the world. We will definitely be back! read more

The Ferndale salad was terrible no taste to the vegetables and the ranch was watered down very disappointing!!! Will not be returning anytime soon! read more

The salads here are great! Everything seems fresh, huge serving and solid toppings. Everything else on the menu is hit or miss. This is bulk cheap food from a restaurant supply joint that isn't even Gordon Food Service quality. Way below that and that's saying a lot. But the real 2 star experience is in the service. It's awful. They used to have great waitstaff. Fast, friendly but my last couple of visits it's been the same two women working and I think they share a brain cell. Dead eyes, no clue on the timing of food service, will take forever to get a drink. Your party will order beverages and they will bring over one at a time. Like nobody can carry two plastic cups of pop at once? It's just weird. One person will receive their soup and then all the mains will come out before anyone gets their dinner salad. It feels like the twilight zone. I think I'm done with this joint. read more

We went for a birthday dinner on Saturday July 5th, we had eight ppl in our group. First time here. Definitely won't be the last! Fantastic service from Brittney. She was so nice, so quick, went above and beyond! Food was GREAT!! read more

We saw an add on email for this restaurant and thought we'd give it a try. Boy, we are glad we did. The food was tasty and the portions were above average. The menu has tons of choices to pick from. We had the meatloaf dinner and the hamburger steak dinner. Both came with mashed potatoes and a vegetable. We also had their soup. Everything met and exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this establishment. read more

This place has been here forever. After church we came here for a late breakfast/early lunch. The wait time was only about 5 mins and then we were seated. Take notes....THIS is how an order of hashbrowns is supposed to look and my omelet was absolutely loaded... bacon, sausage, corned beef and ham with cheese and peppers of course. The pancakes were straight up perfect. Will be going back. read more

My friend has mentioned Sam's as a place for good food in Ferndale. When she and I were in the area, we came in for lunch. We had the fish and chips and a bowl of chili. The fish is amazing, and the portion sizes are also great for the prices. Overall, it's your average diner going by looks, but I would return for the delicious fish and chips. read more

I'll be eating here again. great food. perfect prices and service was on point. very clean inside and out.

Even though the place was nice. I discovered hair in my food after I had taken a bite. My attempt to resolve the issue, was not good management denied that it was present, stating no one has "That Kind of Hair" when clearly the Dishwasher guy did. They were rude and dismissive so at that point I chose to leave. Please if you go there check out your food and the plate and utensil, for cleaniness. read more

Gyro omelet is the best I've had in Detroit! The Best! Seasoned perfectly and the Buttery Pancakes are Awesome! Me and hubby goes here as often as we can preferably 7ish in the morning the waitress at that hour is so nice and informative about the meals we order not like other waitress other places we go. Top to the Morning to the chef!!! Love it and will be back Thanks read more

Stopped by Sam's for a carryout last night. It definitely won't be my last visit. I ordered delmonico steak and eggs with hash browns and Texas toast. Everything was pretty good. There were a few disappointments, but overall, it was good and a dish that I'd order again. I ordered the steak medium. It was tender and cooked at the correct temp. It was a nice size for the price paid. Under $20 for the meal. I was grateful for real toast as some restaurants barely toast bread. It was also packaged separately, which I appreciated. I asked for cheese on my eggs, which I didn't receive, but the eggs were good. Good customer service. My order was made quickly. I will dine-in next time. read more

The food was amazing. The staff was friendly and the service was excellent. They took our order promptly and in a convenient and timely manner. The prices were also excellent as well. They were at a price you can't afford. I would recommend this establishment to all of my friends. The atmosphere was warm and cozy. The staff made you feel at home. read more

Sam's Ferndale Grill - Great food, generous portions. - Diners Near Me - Ferndale, Michigan

We hit Sam's Grill for some Coney Island favorites. We stared with the opa- saganaki. It was delicious, served with soft, warm pita bread. The salads are nice & fresh- all the portions here are heavy! I got the grilled chicken pita- I am so glad it did! The chicken was charred to perfection. The steak fries were the perfect compliment. The food is comfort at it's finest. read more

I come here very often and it's a very nice spot. The restrooms are really clean, and the staff is so friendly. Once you've been there a few times there's a kind of family vibe since there are the regulars who frequent there often. I'll definitely be trying more things from the menu so I can share pics of the experience and keep my review up to date. read more

Food wasn't anything to rave about. Mozzarella sticks, chicken tenders and fries just tasted like they were from the frozen section. Service was fine, also nothing spectacular. Prices are high for no reason, quality of the food definitely isn't that good. Ok place, won't be coming back. read more

Delicious delicious breakfast skillet me and my husband ate off of this twice. Will definitely go back and eat this again. read more

Great breakfast. Nothing fancy but consistent favor and centrally located. The country omelet is my favorite... I can eat on it for two days. Yummy! read more

Appalling! Men's bathroom was filled with the stench of fresh urine, only to be substantiated by the obvious display of urine covering the floor! I didn't even stay long enough to thoroughly wash my hands the way I like to. I informed staff that I would like to discuss it with a manager, only to be intercepted by a waitress. This WAITRESS CLEANED THE MEN'S RESTROOOM WEARING THE EXACT SAME APRON SHE HAD ON IN THE BEGINNING, AND KEPT WEARING IT THROUGH THE REST OF MY VISIT!! EXTREMELY UNSANITARY!!! I warn anyone who's reading this to take your health and safety into consideration, don't settle!!! read more

Honestly this place is gross, old, run down and weirdly expensive. $15 for a gyro sandwich and 4 extra for fries. The saganaki was the only good thing we had. Service was not good, she dropped off the food and never saw her again. I had to go to counter to get my bill. Another waitress was hiding in the corner on her phone. I stepped on dirty silverware on the way to the front door. Will not be back. read more

Great service and breakfast. Always smiling faces and hot food. I look forward to my next visit.

Have brunch with mom today. The food was good. Service was awesome. Thanks Angie! Ambience was good as well.

I ordered a breakfast sandwich with turkey sausage and cheese they charged me 16 dollars and change I couldn't believe it. Whenever I get a breakfast sandwich anywhere I get it the same way it's never more then 10 bucks they changed me 6 dollars and change for the turkey sausage. I wanted to turn around and walk i but I was hungry and in a rush. They are way overpriced here. read more

Do you know how hard it is to find a restaurant that serves a club sandwich during a pandemic? Thank goodness for Sam's Ferndale Grill!!! Sam's Supreme Club exceeded expectations-- I tried to finish it, but I didn't want to hurt myself. Looking forward to the leftovers! My husband got the Greek salad with chicken and that was also spectacular- enough for several meals. They were very busy (usually a good sign) so there was a little wait for the food but well worth it. So glad I discovered this place! read more

The food was OK. Everything was just OK. Not complaining just saying it was a little small.

Food is delicious. There are many selections to choose. Service is prompt. Ambiance is pleasant and warm.

Short Ribs to die for! Melted in my mouth. Great soup, all homemade. Service was excellent and quick. Can't wait to try the special on another day. read more

Private lot off of busy Woodward. Inside is a typical Michigan diner. Fairly good food at a decent price. Fairly clean. Newish looking inside. It was uncomfortable because the black waitresses kept loudly insulting President Trump and his wife and praising former President Obama and his wife. There is no cause for that behavior on the clock read more

the servicehas been bad now for the last year and a half. it appears that the waitress staff who were professional have left and tge cooks who were good have folliwed. idk what happend. it used to be a descrnt eatery but now is poor on every level. everything was the worse today. they just lost a long time customer today. i have been a custimer since 2006. read more

I went there today and ordered breakfast. It was THE WORST I've ever eaten. I have NEVER GOTTEN A BAD MEAL HERE... ever!!! The cook couldn't get the eggs right, the turkey sausage was burnt and tasted old and out dated. I even expressed my disappointment to our waitress of course she was mute... Coffee was awful.. requested fresher brewed cup, that was a tad better. For 31.00 bucks my breakfast and guest breakfast was Hideous...Sorry Sam's Grill,..... read more
