10 out of 10 on food, three out of 10 on service. Our favorite breakfast spot in Corvallis and will keep coming, but have to put up with silly rules and slow service. That will ignore you after you sit down. read more

Food service environment 10/10 everything was amazing prices were appropriate and would recommend to anyone. Our server was fantastic today. He was friendly and kind. We appreciated his great customer service. Especially when I added on a bunch of extra muffins at the end! read more

Excellent food and bakery and coffee Jazz background. Strange ordering, but efficient. Gets noisy when full.

Sam's Station in Corvallis is a true gem. Their shirred eggs with gluten-free bread hit all the right notes--creamy, savory, and deeply comforting. The eggs come baked with a mix of tender veggies and Tillamook cheese, and that gluten-free toast? Surprisingly fantastic. Crisp outside, soft inside--perfect for soaking up every bite. The space has a quirky, welcoming vibe--like brunch at a friend's house who actually knows how to cook. Friendly staff, great atmosphere, and food made with real care. If you're gluten-free or just love a good breakfast, this dish is a must. read more

A bit slow, just owner and cook working a very busy floor that includes walk-in to go and dine-in. The menu is specialized delights and many of the dishes take more time to prepare. As delicious as it is, I had a house coffee in lieu of a specialty coffee because I didn't want to wait. Plan your visit with plenty of time and you can't go wrong. read more

We love Sams they always have fresh muffins and if your lucky enough ive never had better brownies. I often get an espresso milkshake and it truly is gone in seconds and makes my morning that much better! read more

Cute ambience and wonderful breakfast food with a unique taste. Very good coffee as well

The sandwich bread I brought home was 5 star.. didn't realize they made loaves to take home! Hazelnut Gorgonzola and it is fantastic. I've also had breakfast here in the past and love the ambience. However as past reviewers have mentioned, the service can be really slow. I only come when my day is open. That said, the Shirred Eggs are very good. I also appreciate the local artists always on display. Great local, independent place. read more

Came here for breakfast, always look forward to it. Found a hair in my shirted eggs, took it up to the counter. They were very gracious agreed to make me another one. Offered a pastry as a consolation. Felt like I shouldn't have had to pay for it and didn't feel like it was very well handled. Unfortunately, we won't be back.Plus I know they are very busy but felt the place was extremely unorganized for an established restaurant. read more

Absolutely amazing dining experience! Service is fantastic. Ambiance is delightful. But the food is AMAZING! I got shirred eggs and it was an incredible meal! It came with toast and jam AND a delicious muffin. Their chai is probably the best in town! Highly recommend this gem of a restaurant! read more

Their Special Menu is the best.Had Baby shrimp and Dungeness Crab Frittata is the bomb. Service is great and the food is amazing. The place is nice and clean. Location just right where we live read more

The service is unbelievably slow, but at least the staff is surly and the prices are high.

This is the place to come when you're fighting and hangover and you need fuel. The sun was shining and we were finally able to enjoy some outdoor seating. Be prepared if you get the shirred eggs they are very runny and egg forward similar to the inside a French omelette. I liked them but they're not everyone's cup of tea. Afterwards I'd suggest heading over to the co-op which is without question the best grocery store in Corvallis. read more

Sam's Station - Shirred Eggs - Salad Near Me - Corvallis, Oregon

Tried this place from an online recommendation. Prices were reasonable and food was ok, but had an issue with service when we didn't want to be seated on a table wedged against a corner. When we preferred to sit elsewhere, we were intentionally ignored by the hurt server. We were eventually helped by someone else who did her best, but I think the whole resturaunt was understaffed. Won't be returning. read more

The food is very good. The service is good. Sadly they no longer give you a bit of a cookie or other dessert along with the bill like they used to do. read more

I love eating here. The coffee Sam's Station roasts is delicious, and they make some really yummy lattes with it like the Early Riser or Katherine's delight. The shirred eggs are my favorite thing to order, especially the chive herb Parmesan version. The muffins that come with the shirred eggs are yummy as well. There's a nice selection of bread and muffins, although muffin flavors are seasonal. read more

Love everything about this place! The people are so nice and the food and coffee are delicious. Great baked goods too. So much is made in house which I love. read more

Great & friendly service. Food was served promptly and the food was fresh & delicious, I was unable to finish what I ordered so I ended up taking it home for a future meal. Definitely will be back! Shoutout to my server, I apologize for not getting his name but he was relatively new to the job and provided excellent service. Thank you! read more

Great for coffee and cinnamon rolls. They roast their own and it is better than most. Service first rate. Parking a bit tight but you can park on the street . read more

No complaints, but also no compliments. It's cool that they make quit a few things in house however those items (Jan, ketchup, coffee) weren't special, not bad, just ordinary. And the brunch menu was a bit over priced read more

Super delicious food and pastries. Their coffee beans are some of the best you can get in town. Plus friendly service.

Honestly, the food LOOKED delicious. However, all us agreed that the food lacked flavor which was quite surprising. Service was acceptable but not remarkable. Ordered 2 chai tea and they were also unflavorful. Said one in our party, this is where flavor goes to die. Wish we could have given a better review but its what we all thought after eating here. read more

This was one of the first spots I went to when I moved to Corvallis. The owner was so welcoming and the food was great! They had good distance between tables for Covid and a good system for entering/exiting and keeping a distance. No touch menus were also a nice touch! Definitely a good portion of food and we had leftovers to take home. Also the lemon muffins are as delicious as they look :) read more

Sam's Station is a hidden gem and an exceptional place for breakfast and / or lunch. Great homestyle meals with wonderful coffee and pastries, too. Look forward to their amazing golden potatoes and breakfast dishes (shirred eggs, frittatas, scrambles) and more! They have excellent soups, sandwiches and fresh produce. It's a great local restaurant with art on display and a friendly vibe. Definitely recommend for breakfast, brunch or lunch. read more

They act like they don't want your business, on top of all of the guidelines associated with Covid, they have an additional set of guidelines and are pretty negative about handing out that additional guidance. Really doesn't seem like they want customers?? Hard to understand because the food is so good. read more

Came here to find a more local vibe and was a bit disappointed with my food. I had the shirred eggs and they were unseasoned and soggy. Maybe that's how they are supposed to be but it wasn't my thing. The waffles were good and the coffee was very yummy. Go for the coffee, for sure. read more

I had a fennel sausage omelette and it was good. The coffee was mediocre and the ambiance was pretty good but a bit loud. But the prices are outrageous. $15 for an omelette plus coffee and tip means $20 for breakfast. The food is a little better than Broken Yolk but not enough to justify the price. I wish the Glenwood would open a Corvallis branch. read more

2 day old stale cinnamon roll (I asked. This is for the second time in a row. I used to love these things), potatoes burnt black on the outside, yet paradoxically, still raw and crunchy on the inside. Still a generous portion of spinach in the omelette. Overall, not what they were before the pandemic. read more

Great food but the service is terrible. The food is full of amazing flavors but you have to wait close to an hour for your food. I would recommend their Mary's peak if your a coffee and ice cream lover. read more

Sam's Station - Waited 40 minutes just for this... - Salad Near Me - Corvallis, Oregon

Food is interesting and different. I love the fact that there's salad on my breakfast plate. The wait is always killer though no matter how early we get there, which makes service slow. Will keep coming back but the manager has to do something about the servers' schedules. read more

I ordered a mocha that was piled 3/4 high with fake whipped cream. The egg dish was mediocre. The service was good. Since they don't have gluten free options on toast, I asked to substitute a small portion of potatoes or salad...no substitutions. I won't be back. read more

RUN. Run far away, this place is TERRIBLE!!!!!! I've had bad service, but this was just ridiculous. We were a party of six and ordered a couple of salads, sandwiches, soups, and one Eggs Benedict, and several coffee drinks. Twenty minutes later, we were told they're out of pastrami, english muffins for the egg's benedict, and roast beef. The folks in our party settle for something else. We ended up waiting AN HOUR AND A HALF for our food that was mediocre at best. How does soup, salads, eggs, and sandwiches take that long? I honestly thought we were on a TV prank show. One of the people I was with had hyperglycemia and was almost passed out because his blood sugar was so low-- I had to give him gum because nothing was on the table. They are so lucky he didn't faint or anything. Another friend I was with had her sandwich delivered and the waitress said it was made wrong, takes it back, only to bring the same plate back five minutes later. The chicken salad sandwich was more or less bread, lettuce, and a thin layer of mayonnaise heavy chicken salad. When our check came, the waitress made no apology and nothing was comped. I went in with a few others and the owner/manager/old lady with an attitude that was at the register basically just blinked and said "what do you want me to do?" Something tells me if we were ten or twenty years older we would have been treated differently. Again, no apology they started making excuses and said "We're a small establishment" "It's a Sunday, our busiest day" "You came during the Church Rush" um, I've worked in food service at small establishments--- this is UNACCEPTABLE. You don't make excuses to the customer and give them attitude. You own up to the fact that your service is rotten and the food is OK at best. When all is said and done, they took off the coffees and two sandwiches. Big deal. If I wasn't with friends I would have left after waiting 20 minutes and wouldn't have given them a cent. There are so many other places in the area, please whatever you do don't waste your time or money here. read more

Have been eating here for a while and sadly will not be coming back. Took the family out for breakfast and waited 50 minutes for food to hit our table after the orders were taken. Coffee came fast, but after fifteen minutes of looking at my empty cup, I had to approach the counter to request more for me and others. Service has always been slow here, but this set a record. When food finally came, salad dressing that was ordered did not appear until 5 minutes later, and the condiments requested did not appear at all until I made an additional request. Post-meal, the check still did not arrive promptly until I went to the counter, again, to ask to pay on the spot. 'Well, it must have been busy,' some would say. Midway through our 50 minute wait, however, there were five open tables at one point, and all of them were never filled up during our stay. A family near us, who were seated just after we were, still had not received their food after we'd already got ours, ate, and left. Perhaps they never did. I've eaten at great restaurants. Busy restaurants. Popular restaurants. They've often bee packed and, if the place is well run, there's never much of a wait once seated. I will say the wait staff was very nice, friendly, and pleasant. I blame management here. The food was good, so no complaint there, but hardly gourmet. It strikes me, however, that a two egg breakfast should go for something under $15 a plate. There used to be less expensive and basic items on the menu, but those are gone with a recent menu change. I blame lack of competition for some of this, for if a place opened across the street that got the basics right: good food, decent value, and prompt service, then Sam's would fold in a hurry as they approach the first but fail in the last two outright. Finally, I approached the manager (owner?) to tell her of our experience, her response in its entirety was "OK." If that was my response to a courteous and honest customer who offered a respectful but dissatisfied critique of their experience, I'd have been fired from any job I've held. What that communicated to me was that she feels she can serve any pedestrian fare she pleases, price it as if gourmet, and make the customer wait nearly an hour, to boot. My response? There are plenty of other breakfast joints in town that serve decent food, don't overcharge, and serve it up in a fraction of the time; I'll be taking my business elsewhere. read more

We went right when they opened for some omelets. The server and atmosphere was kind and nice. My boyfriend really likes that the photographs hang at an angle so you can see them better. My special coffee was excellent and sweet like I like it. Food was good but nothing too different from another breakfast place in town. Convenient to walk too. read more

Well. It Took them 45 mins (not exaggerating) to get us coffee and tea - yes hot water and a tea packet. Then they ran out of items and didn't let us know - just brought our food out, after over an hour had passed with substitute items. Poor employees were under staffed. read more

I don't get to eat here very often because of the hours they're open (or closed, I should say), but it's always a treat. I'm only updating my review because I can't believe the people griping about the service being slow. It's slow because this is a small restaurant making everything from scratch. They aren't microwaving prepackaged food like Applebees. I chose Sam's Station for lunch today because I was meeting a friend I haven't seen in a while, and I knew we'd be able to linger. Sure enough, three hours later, we finally left, full of delicious soup and sandwiches. They always bring a little baked treat out with the check, which is a good way to sucker you into buying dessert. I would rather wait longer for my food than have an impatient waitress ask me how I'm doing every five minutes. Definitely try their soup/sandwich combo. I haven't had bad soup here yet. But don't come here if you need to eat and run, because it takes time to prepare really good food. read more

Sam's Station is a hard one for me to review. The food is delicious. The potatoes are especially good (and unlike some other breakfast places in Corvallis, they are homemade, not out of a bag). The baked goods are excellent. The portions are just about perfect -- not too huge, but not stingy. The service isn't great. I've never had anyone be rude, but they are often not very attentive and I have had to wait for coffee refills many times. Also, one weird thing: when you order toast with your meal, they bring the teeniest little cup of jam I've ever seen. It's *maybe* a teaspoon. OK, it could be a tablespoon. But it's not nearly enough for two pieces of toast. So, if you order toast, ask for extra jam, because if you have to ask for it after your meal comes, you'll be waiting. One thing I love is that when they bring your check, they bring little bits of pastry with it (samples of their many muffins and breads). It's a nice touch. read more

Been here twice. Once for Lunch and once for morning coffee and a muffin. Morning coffee and a muffin - Wonderful. Had a specialty mocha and it was delightful. The muffin was excellent. The person behind the counter taking my order was ok, it was slow and there was plenty of time to be friendly but the whole transaction from taking my order to giving me my change was very flat and dull. Lunch - Had a excellent pastrami sandwich. You have the option of a half or a whole, well.... A whole is actually 2 sandwiches! Plenty to fill me up for lunch and take some to go. =) But again, the service left me with a bad taste in my mouth. At the table was ok, not great but ok, but as my co-workers and I walked out, we said thanks and bye to our server who was at the espresso machine and her response was, "yup", in a flat tone without even looking at us. Really? We are not bad tippers and even if we were, that isn't cool.... read more

Had brunch at Sam's yesterday with two girlfriends. The food was excellent, the service was very slow. If you are in no hurry, then all is good, provided you are not waiting for a table. The fried potatoes are awesome! The "Matts favorite" was also excellent (potatoes, sausage, pineapple and fried eggs). I don't know that I would have liked the shirred eggs, but my friend said they were good. The French toast was made with sliced up cinnamon rolls, and looked like a flat version of monkey bread. They also had just plain eggs, meat and toast for $8. The baked goods have been good in the past, we didn't sample more than a quarter of a snicker doodle (good!) this visit. read more
