A friend and I had a nice breakfast while my car was being repaired at ECO Muffler. Good serve, good food, busy when we arrived around 9:20. Despite the crowd the noise level was fine. I would recommend! read more

I was on my way to my office and went to stop at this place that I remembered as being a donut shop, but it has clearly changed hands over the years. The sign out front says Bella's but inside the menu says Sam's. It is right on the corner of school Street next to St. John's church. The place is somewhat small, but has about six tables and maybe about eight stools at the counter Service was quick coffee was served in a diner type mug and was very fresh and hot I ordered two fried eggs, bacon, home fries, and wheat toast Prices were about the same as most other places which these days tends to be expensive due to food costs. The eggs were cooked perfectly. They were a ton of well fried home fries. The bacon was crisp, and the toast was thick. Coffee was kept refilled as necessary. The waitress and who I believed to be the owner, were both very friendly. The place seem to be busy with food delivery orders, but on this rainy holiday week morning there weren't a lot of other customers. I will definitely keep this in mind when looking for a breakfast place in the area read more

Sam's Restaurant - Bacon, eggs, home fries, and toast - Diners Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

Great service with quickly delivered food that was tasty. Loved the plants and window jewelry which were all available for purchase. The menu has many items, like any good diner does and the atmosphere was light and airy with big windows. read more

I'll be honest and say the food was fine and the waitress was good. .....But it wasn't until after we ordered that from our blind spot seating did we notice something. I went with my mother and brother. After a while of talking and waiting for our food, my mother was like "..... Do I hear a preacher?" ..... to which my brother and I stopped and focused on the noise around us. We indeed heard a preacher. From this point on, we noticed and couldn't escape hearing a religious preacher on the television, that was set to some sort of religious channel. ..... What the fuck? ..... So we come to eat breakfast and this place is forcefully playing Christian sermons out loud? I'm sorry. My family isn't religious. I know people who have been hurt by hyper religious people. If you are religious, fine. Keep it to yourself. Don't force it on your patrons. We felt VERY uncomfortable about it and scoffed our food down just to get out. I don't know who's bright idea it was to have church in the middle of the restaurant but don't forget what your God says. Exodus 35:2 - "Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death." .....So why you even open on a Sunday? Do you not believe in what you forcefully preach to your diners? Separate your religion from your business. It's absolutely ridiculous. I have a video of the audio but Yelp won't let me upload it. Would love to show everyone. If you aren't Christian or are Atheist, AVOID. read more

Less than one star - my breakfast took 50 minutes to come out of the kitchen, and then it was the order. The take out orders seemed to be flying out the door. I'm not sure why a restaurant wouldn't take care of the patrons sitting inside of the establishment. just bad. read more

Sam's Restaurant - Sam Special is great!! 3 Eggs and the works! Should of taken picture before indulged! - Diners Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

We had breakfast on Sunday, April 7, at 10:30. Seated immediately and waited on promptly. Food prepared exactly as requested: crispy bacon, sausages, medium toasted raisin bread, eggs over easy, home fires, blueberries inside the pancake, real maple syrup, decaf coffee with milk. The home fries were so good that we did not add ketchup! (We usually soak our home fries in ketchup). Quality of bacon, sausages, and the raisin bread was excellent (not the cheap stuff). Atmosphere was pleasant. Staff friendly. Artwork, plants, and suncatchers on display are for sale and adds to the ambiance. Parking available on side street. Our breakfast was perfect. I left a tip for the chef as well. read more

Absolutely disgusted, halfway through one of my egg Benedict's when I saw something which I thought it was a string of cheese when it's pulled really thin but realized there was no cheese on this order. Upon closer look I was DISGUSTED to realize it was a VERY LONG blonde hair, absolutely disgusting. BESIDES the hair there was also no salt in the food and it was very bland. Stay FAR AWAY from this place read more

Sam's Restaurant - A LONG blonde hair in my food - Diners Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

I was craving breakfast food and Sam's was down the street, so I decided to try it. I originally wanted steak and eggs but they were all out of steak for the day, so I elected to get the corned beef hash. The waitress recommended it, gave me the ingredients and was super kind. The food took less than ten minutes, and it tasted great! The eggs tasted fresh, the corned beef hash was surprisingly yummy despite being from a can, the toast was not dry or burnt, and the home fries were phenomenal. The waitress was extremely nice, and I would recommend Sam's just based off of her customer service. The prices, portion sizes and atmosphere are great! They will be seeing me more often. read more

This place is very small and when we got there every table was full. It was a short wait thankfully there was a table leaving within 5 min of us getting there. The service was okay, i did sit waiting for a water, I watched get poured, that was sitting there for 5 min while the waitress took two other tables order before giving me the water. The food was delicious though. I had the eggs ben and the Canadian bacon was cooked great. My friends feta omelette she said was great and we both finished it all. The hot chocolate was a bit weird it was kind of like I was drinking the powder, I love chocolatey drinks but it was just odd tasting. read more

Great place.Hasn't changed with the new owners. Quick, happy server. Food was good, hot and plentiful. Coffee was fresh and refreshing. Great place to talk to others at the counter. It's definitely a Family atmosphere. read more

Best breakfast take-out we've had! This was our first time trying Sam's. We ordered for the family: Banana and strawberry Nutella French toast Kids' French toast with scrambled egg & cheese White chocolate chip & marshmallow pancakes Western omelet Hot coffee Iced coffee Everything tasted very fresh. The pancakes and French toast were light and fluffy and deliciously flavored. The omelet was perfectly made, fillings were diced nice and small so they didn't overpower the omelet. Home fries came with the omelet and were crispy crunchy outside but soft inside. Yum. First time the kids ate everything on their plate! Coffee is delicious too, tastes freshly brewed and perfectly made to order. We will definitely try Sam's again. Maybe dine-in next time. What a gem of a place! read more

Ordered through DoorDash, waffles and home fries, they canceled the waffles, never notified me either thru the app or called, and just sent me home fries. read more

Good enough. The waitresses don't exude warmth and the place gets overwhelmed when Mass lets out. Claustrophobic like many breakfast places. Food is what you would expect, no complaints. read more

I have been to Sam's a handful of times now and it never disappoints. The coffee is good, food is yummy and service is friendly and prompt! The chocolate chip pancakes are my favorite, always cooked perfectly and so so delicious! The two lovely waitresses that are always there are excellent too. I've begun to look forward to going to breakfast at Sam's every weekend now. read more

Sams was the go to every morning. Great customer service on time with your meals. Now since there is new management, the business has come down. They get most of the orders incorrect, you can order a breakfast sandwich 30 mins ahead and it is not ready. Yet in still they want money upfront no order ready. Making you late for work saying it will be ready. This is my last time with this new management. I miss the old Sams. This is not it all. read more

French toast with no syrup, a grilled bagel burnt beyond being edible, with no cream cheese, cold home fries and sent me a hot chocolate instead of chocolate milk. Then to top it all off, the miserable wildabeast that answered the phone. Glad she started yelling at me on the phone. Wrong person to screw with dumbdumb. You're supposed to be a manager. Don't ever speak to a customer, who order you just crapped down your leg like they did something wrong. read more

OMG , how do you say "no toast" in Portuguese? We can't communicate with this waitress. Whatever we take away from an entree, it gets added. She also doesn't know who orders what as our dish took a tour of the restaurant before it ended up in front of us. She also can't hear anything, as we say the word "check" and she walks right by us. read more

The price is right and the coffee is good. But. After I got my food the waitress sat down at one of the tables. I think I only got a refill on my coffee because she had to answer the phone so she was up anyway. I got the cinnamon french toast with two scrambled eggs. You get a lot of french toast but it was just okay. As were the eggs. It wasn't the best diner food I've ever had. The staff greeted most people by name and most of the customers are probably regulars and as a newcomer I felt slightly out of place. Certainly no one went out of their way to make me feel welcome. No one was rude and the food was fine and filling but I didn't see any reason to go back. read more

I love Sam's. I love rolling out of bed on a weekend morning, rounding up my hungover room mates, and going to eat a plate of pancakes and bacon walking distance from my house. The food is great for diner food, and unlike my other favorite spot The Wheelhouse Diner, there is never a wait. I don't know what it is though, but one of the waitresses always scowls and gives attitude to my friends and I when we come in. I don't get it. I'm clean, I'm polite, I never take more than a minute to order. I swear to god I've tipped this woman like 40% trying to win her over and she still scowls at me the next time I come in. Well lady, now I'm giving you a 4 star review so people will goto your diner. Is that enough? Can we be friends now? Please? Finally? read more

Since I like diners, and Sam's was within walking distance of my apartment, I tried to eat here twice. Didn't actually manage it. The first time, I was by myself. I was also on crutches, from an accident. The place's policy is, seemingly, that people by themselves must sit at the counter, however many tables are free (four of them, at that point). I pointed out that I really couldn't sit on the counter's tall stools, and needed to extend my injured leg. No dice. So out I hobbled to IHOP -- happily, only two blocks away -- where they didn't care where I sat. The second time I came in with my wife, 25 minutes before closing. Now it's the LAW that a restaurant HAS to serve you, whether you come in 45 seconds before closing or not. Still, they said they were "closing" and declined to serve us. So out we went to IHOP, which seemed to feel that they were in the business of peddling food. That aside, even by the low-rent standard of diners, this is a dreary, dingy place, and could stand with a fresh coat of paint, a bit of degreasing, better lighting, and for the linoleum to be pried up and burned out back. (You might note that of the horde of pictures posted, only ONE is of the interior -- and it's a tilted, out of focus shot -- and most of those are posted by "Yelpers" who haven't actually posted any reviews. Obvious conclusions are obvious.) One wonders how this dump stays open -- given the experiences of other reviewers -- and I can only think that there must be no other non-chain diners at this end of Quincy. read more

My friend who is a local takes me here when I visit. The food here is much better than the appearance of the restaurant! Also, great place to go if you want to hang with the locals. I give this place 4 stars because the food is always great, for its local charm and value. Not exactly my first choice but I know I'll eat well here. Great eggs and home fries. read more

Exactly what I was hoping and expecting. Decent breakfast, served quickly and no waiting. I had three scrambled eggs, home fries and toast, and an Italian sausage. All solid. My kid got the chocolate chip pancake, that was really good. Not a place anyone should go to every day, but definitely a good place to go to get some hearty American breakfast read more

Ordered Uber eats, they gave my food to someone else so my driver had to sit and wait. He then delivered us the entirely wrong meal(because that's what he was given). When I tried to call Sam's their phones are disconnected. Total mess and 100% will never even attempt to eat here again. read more

I have tried this place on multiple occasions because it's close to home! So far there have been eggs shells in my omelette a bunch of times and today the paper that separates the cheese! I'm done with them, I love supporting small businesses and the people in there are really nice but I cannot anymore ! read more

Corn beef hash was burn and disgusting, I can't believe whoever is behind the grill would serve this to customers.

Sam's is a nice local diner - there's nothing too wild and crazy on the menu (eggs, meats, pancakes and french toast), but service is good and quick and the prices are great. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Quick, reasonably priced and tasty. Yes, they make you sit at the counter if you are alone but the waitress that was there on Friday morning was really nice about it. I have been going here for 15 years and I will continue to come here as long as I can. read more

I have been to Sam's several times since moving to Quincy. The food is very good and the prices are quite reasonable. I have never had to wait for a table. However, the service is very mediocre. Every time I've been there, I have had the same server. I wish I knew her name. She seems more interested in standing by the cash register looking at her phone than providing good service. I have to wave her over for refill on my drink, wait for her to get my check when I'm done eating. Once I saw my food sitting in the window for several minutes. The chef saw me looking at it so he rang the bell several times and yelled for her to pick it up. He gave me the "I'm sorry" look from the kitchen. Like I said everything else is pretty good. This place could flourish with some improvements in the front read more

Julie and Nicole are two of my favorite people. Have been enjoying breakfast with them for years and look forward to many more. Thanks Sam for keeping such great help. read more

They do breakfast- and they're awesome at it. I love the corn beef hash with the freshest eggs in Quincy

Fast, friendly and affordable. I love sitting at the breakfast bar. The TV normally has the news on it, there are also sometimes newspapers available. The menu is typical breakfast food, also lunch items. I can be in and out within a half hour if I stop there on my way to work in the morning. $2.99 for 3 eggs, toast and home fries, can't really beat that. I've been a few times and plan on continuing to come in! read more

Great place!!! the best views in boston and also the most amazing friendly staff at this place!!!! make you fell at home.

Live right down the street so this has been our go to breakfast joint. Very small place but so far I have not had to wait. I imagine when church next door gets out its probably packed. My fav has been the egg and cheese on a bagel for 2.95. eggs home fries & toast for 3.95 as well. Great deal, cute place. read more

Food is okay. Nothing special. Awful service, which is a deal breaker. If the servers don't know your name, they act like you basically don't exist. Took 10 minutes for them to bring us our check after waiting awhile with empty plates. Then took another 10 minutes for her to take our payment..funny thing is she waited 10 seconds to pick up her tip. We gave her 20% because we are nice and we didn't even get a Thank You. I will not be back and it's a shame because I live nearby and am always looking for a reasonable breakfast spot. I'll pass. Thanks ladies. read more

This is a great little local diner style type of place. It is small with only about six tables and counter service. It's open only for breakfast and lunch. I have only been for breakfast so can't comment on the lunch. They have an excellent breakfast special featuring three eggs any style, toast and home fries for $2 and change. They also have reasonably priced breakfast plates featuring pancakes and eggs, omlettes and breakfast meats. I have also had their eggs benedict which was quite tasty. Last time I was here I had their pancakes and eggs with a side order of bacon. The pancakes are nicely done and very fluffy. Portions are good sized. My plate of pancakes included three large ones. Sadly, no real maple syrup, just some stuff in a squeeze bottle, but, it's a diner type place, you know. Waitresses were friendly and efficient although we had to wait a bit of time the last time we were here to catch a waitress's attention after we had paid and wanted a bit more coffee. Overall, though, it seems easy to grab a quick bite here. We saw many people coming in for take-out which seems to be popular with the hospital crowd. They also had some delicious looking muffins on display up by the register. Highly recommended as a good value for yummy diner breakfasts. read more
