I checked this place out for lunch today. The first thing you notice is how small it is. It looks like an old post office that was converted to a cafe. Then the server and owner greet you like your family. They have so much pride in what they do and are very excited about the new building they're moving to. It's really nice to see that kind of attitude in a small restaurant. The food reflects the above comments. The chicken wrapped in pita was marinated and seasoned well. While you can find this and a Greek salad at another place they just do it better. For example; the salad had artichoke and Greek olives instead of canned black olives. The feta cheese was real brined feta, not some American watered down cheese. This is a gem of a place for great Mediterranean food! I can't wait to check out the new place when it opens. Meantime check out it out now for great food and a staff like no other read more

Food is great service is great have eaten here twice this week Could not ask for anything better read more

Great food! Great service. Worth a visit! Sam is great and stops by to ask about food. Dessert is great as well! read more

See all

First time going with a friend and we were pleasantly surprised! The food is amazing and the staff is very friendly. The parking and finding the back entrance can be tricky but they have signs to help you out. The portions are huge for the price you're paying. read more

I can say nothing bad about this place! Awesome food, great waitresses, the owner/chef is very friendly and makes some of the best tasting/quality foods around! read more

What a great find!!! Had an errand to run in the area searched Yelp and found Sam's. Our new go to. Arabia was super server. Took such good care of us. Funny too. The menu is expansive. Food was great!!! read more

Great place for lunch or a nice dinner. It is obvious Sam cares about the food and his staff. Super fresh and served by a great staff. Sam is very likely to come out and visit with his customers to ensure they are satisfied and answer any questions about the food read more

Great food never have had a bad meal!! Sam is the best cook in Grayson and probably in all of Gwinnett

Most tender gyro meat, you simply cannot go wrong. I've tried one-a-many of hummus, and this is hands down the best in the south, I've gotta say. Rice is amazing. Baklava is always nice and moist with the best syrup poured over. Also, I know a good tzatziki sauce when I try one. Simply amazing, if you're a Mediterranean food lover like I am, you simply cannot pass up this opportunity. I could go on and on about that gyro meat. Also great atmosphere. Good amount of checking in on food by the chef, Sam. Lovely wait staff and just a cute homey feel. It's a small restaurant but (take it from a European) that's how they are on the whole eastern hemisphere so... representative of the Mediterranean vibes, no? I like it, it's got somewhat of an old school neighborhood joint feel. LOVE THIS PLACE. read more

Sam's is what a locally owned restaurant should be, but rarely is. It's owned by the chef, and the chef cares about your experience. The menu is an eclectic blend of everything Sam likes, and Sam loves good food from all over the world. Of course the Mediterranean dishes are off the charts, but the Prime Rib is some of the best you've ever tasted. And the Bacon Bourbon Jam Burger os just drop dead delicious. Service is informal, friendly and efficient. Occasionally you may wait for a certain entree, but you must realize that nothing is off the shelf here. Most specialty dishes are prepared to order. And in the middle of it all is Sam! He's a little guy with a larger than life personality and enormous talent. If you are tired of the chain restaurant experience, Sam's got the cure. Wash it all down with a craft cocktail, a cold beer or a fine wine! read more

Everything was fresh, the employees were so kind and patient. Can't go wrong with gyro wraps here

Used to love Sam's our family visited 3-4 times per month. We haven't been back in about 2 months due to the restaurant always being out of our favorites and unpredictable hours. Hopefully they have gotten their order fulfillment back under control! I miss their food as it was always delicious, but it was frustrating to not be able to satiate the cravings for their food when they were consistently out of things like hummus--at a Mediterranean place. Perhaps I should leave them my number and have them call me when it's available! read more

Packed on a Tuesday night! That tells you something about the restaurant right there. Add to it that parking was limited due to construction around the place and it only reinforces the truth that this is a great restaurant. Cindy was my server and she was attentive, friendly, and had great recommendations. Tried the blackened shrimp and key lime pie. Both were excellent. What made the experience even more enjoyable is Sam (the owner) took the time to meet all the people in the dining area. Great food, great atmosphere, great service. Easy to see why Sam's was packed on a random Tuesday night. read more

I just don't get it. Every time I have eaten here the wait for your food is terrible. Usually at least an hour from order to being served. Having to ask the server to refill your drink? Really?? Not on my list to eat at, too many better choices to be had. Nice people just overwhelmed in the kitchen. A hour plus for eggs and bacon, nope read more

Absolutely love Sam's on Main! Great food, service and atmosphere! Its even better now that they expanded in the adjoining building.

All the other reviews nailed it on the head...except for the one negative. The food is so flavorful and fresh! When the owner/chef comes over as soon as you sit, explains the menu and makes recommendations, cooks your food himself, and then presents it to you himself you feel like the queen of Grayson! Now granted we went at a slower time on a Sunday (before the lunch rush) but still! Sam is so friendly and welcoming and we will be back again and again. They have a great brunch menu on the weekends and you can order from their full menu as well. The omelets were so good and those country potatoes were the best! read more

What a wonderful experience! My family and I were impressed by the reviews but even more impressed when we got inside. The food was flavorful, fresh, and filling! Sam the owner greets everyone and personally ensures everyone's order is exactly what they want. Rachel, our server, was so personable, attentive, and sweet! My husband had the Caliente burger, I had the Gyro, and our daughter had a vegetarian Mediterranean salad...all of the food was delicious!!! We will definitely be back! read more

Love this place you can order anything and always have a pleased palette. Sam The owner always comes up and asks us how we're doing and how the food is. Such a great place. read more

Sam's on Main - Mediterranean Near Me - Grayson, Georgia

Definitely my favorite local restaurant and one of the best gyros I've ever had, but it doesn't stop there -- the American style food (burgers, fried chicken, Philly cheesesteak, fries) is just as good as the Mediterranean. Some of my personal favorites are the gyro, the flatbread gyro, the gyro dinner plate, the Philly cheesesteak, and the Wisconsin blue burger. read more

Sam's on Main - Gyro dinner plate and fries - Mediterranean Near Me - Grayson, Georgia

First time visiting, but it won't be my last! Came in with two friends for lunch. It was fairly busy inside, but not at all chaotic. Our server Ally was very sweet and attentive, and Sam (the owner/chef) came out to welcome us to his restaurant and make sure everything was delicious (it was). The food came out quickly and everything was delicious. I highly recommend the hummus and the gyro - both were very good! Also, per Sam's recommendation I tried the country potatoes as my side and BOY were they good! Perfectly seasoned (without being spicy) and full of flavor, crisp on the outside and smooth on the inside...to die for! Overall, I highly enjoyed my experience at Sam's and I will definitely be back soon to try more of the delicious food! read more

This is such a great local restaurant with very fresh and delicious food!! We went there for brunch today and I must say it's the best breakfast in Gwinnett. Lunch and dinner are great too! Great experience every time. read more

The best restaurant around. All food taste so delicious and so fresh. Staff are very professional and friendly. We are so lucky to have this place near our house. We go there for breakfast, lunch brunch and dinners. read more

We came for lunch and had a fantastic experience. We were seated promptly by a very friendly waitress and the food was flavorful and tasty. The owner made the rounds about halfway through our meal to make sure everything was good. Great food and wonderful service. What more could you ask for? read more

Everything on the menu is amazing. Owned and operated by someone who really cares about his food tasting good and his patrons being happy. Every time I visit here I leave feeling better. read more

They moved locations and both times we visited since the food takes 45 minutes or longer. We like supporting local but the menu is probably way to big for the kitchen staff to keep up. Food is very tasty but just slow to come out of kitchen. read more

We were recommended this restaurant by a friend who is local to Grayson...Although small, very clean and cooked to order fresh food gyro meat was incredibly tender in the serving size more than fair my husband had the lamb burger - it was to die for so tender and moist the fried potatoes are a must order and the chef came out and greeted everyone definitely will be returning here soon read more

I had the seafood pasta...no seasoning at all, very bland. I also had the calamari and lobster bisque. Both were very bland with little or no seasoning or flavor. I was expecting at the very least a little salt, pepper, or Old Bay, but I was disappointed. I probably will not go back. read more

Found this place by accident. So glad I did, though. I ordered fries with my gyro. They were perfectly seasoned, but Sam brought out an order of his Country (Greek) Potatoes...will never order fries again. They were the best tasting potatoes I've ever had. Hummus and grape leaf appetizer also amazing. read more

The food here is excellent and reasonably priced. Today was our first time coming and the owner (who also did the cooking) came out and said hello. Friendly staff, great food, and nice atmosphere. I strongly recommend this place!!! read more

Sam's on Main is a fantastic restaurant. When we arrived we were seated promptly and the owner, Sam came out to greet us. He shook her hands and told us about the many wonderful things on his menu. He even advised us on which entrées are fit for sharing. We ordered and the food came out quite quickly. My lentil bean soup was delicious, my husband's lamb gyro platter was amazing, and my daughters prime rib Philly style sandwich was wonderful. She especially loved the au jus. The service was attentive and our drinks were always full. The prices are very reasonable. Looking forward to visiting again very soon! read more

I've already picked what i want next time even I LOVED the grilled flounder with mashed potatoes - absolutely delish! Customer service was "ok" but they are extremely friendly. read more

One of our most favorite restaurants. From beautiful Benedicts & crispy hash browns covered with fresh Pico de Gallo; yummy fried green tomatoes and a delicate lobster bisque; to fantastic fried flounder or prime rib on weekends; all professionally prepared and and presented for a satisfying and tasty dining experience. A new, larger, facility is in the construction process nearby. We have never been disappointed with the food and service here since we moved to the area nearly a year ago. Sam and his crew always make us feel welcome. read more

Came again while I was in town visiting my friend. The BEST breakfast! Love it guys. See you again next trip.

Sam goes out of his way to meet customers and create a family environment. The food is good and the wait staff is attentive. We've been there many times and haven't had a dissatisfaction. If you do TELL SAM. That's the only way he will know and he'll make it right. Don't just post a negative and run. We actually love the small cozy environment. read more

Delusions gyro, and the country potatoes are amazing! Sam is very passionate about his food and you can taste it! read more

The food was delicious. Sam introduced himself and was wonderful to describe the menu options. But the server and her lack of attention was awful. We had to flag her down for everything. Our drinks were all empty for 10 + min while she passed us many times and never asked if we needed anything. We observed the table next to us get up and go to her in frustration of being passed by. Her lack of attention and care took away greatly from the experience. Would have rated 5 stars for food but service made it a frustrating experience instead of relaxing. read more

We dropped in for lunch on the way between business meetings. The service was excellent, but the food is the real story. Best kafta I've ever had!. Fresh beef, fresh vegetables, savory rice. Try it!! read more

What a surprising little restaurant in Grayson! It's Mediterranean/American and let me tell you, absolutely delicious! On top of the amazing food, the owner goes around to each table, making sure everyone feels welcome and answers any questions. My mom and I originally were going to order 2 separate entrees, but he recommended we should split the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer and the Mediterranean flatbread, which was plenty! They have big portions, and it really showed that he cared about the customer, and it's not all about the money. We even had leftovers! It's definitely one of those whole-in-the-wall locations that's a hidden gem. read more

Great hometown feel and small business owner restaurant. Everything was made to order and made us feel we were having a family dinner. Sam came out to apologize for the delay in the food - which wasn't a big deal at all - he made it right and we are already planning our next visit. My husband had the gyro and I had the chicken kabob with grilled veggies - big portion sizes. See you soon Sam and team. read more

Great little local place to eat! Have had numerous meals here - fantastic gyro, amazing flat breads and prime rib on a Friday night. All the food has been excellent and the owners are sweet, chatty and friendly. Service has tended to be a bit off. They have quite a few wait staff standing around chatting when the kitchen appears to be backed up. Have to wave around to get your check and interrupt the young waitress's conversations. Not good. So although the service needs to be stepped up a bit, the friendliness and yummy food makes it worth going back. read more
