The staff was pleasant. The pop and fries were good. The frie portion was a bit smaller then other places.

Friendly and fast. Counters, tables and benches were clean. I like the curved bench seats. Comfortable without a cushion. Food was tasty and hot. My Chicago dogs had fresh veggies and the fries were crunchy, tasted fresh and cooked in clean oil. I’ll stop in again.

The food was so good! I wish we could eat here every day but we were only in town for a couple of days! The Philly cheese steak was so delicious and they made it really fast too!

Great place…nice people! We bought gift certificate at wrong Sammies. I called and explained to young man. I anticipated a “problem” but when I arrived, he returned my money without a problem. That’s a class (and kind) act.

I grew up on the North West side by Portage Pk. and we used to ride our bikes to Sammies little stand to buy “Gravy Bread” for a quarter. It was French bread dipped in the beef juice it was cheap and we loved it. But when your talking HOT DOGS I might be partial but Sammie’s WINS HANDS DOWN! Other joints might have hand cut fries but Sammie’s adds an extra condiment that as far as I know no one else adds, no it’s NOT KETCHUP. Along with the usual mustard, onions, bright green relish, tomatoes, pickle, sport peppers and celery salt on a poppy seed bun Sammie’s adds fresh cucumbers and believe me it makes all the difference in the world. Sammie’s is no longer in the city and that’s fine cause neither am I so they have several locations that I can still enjoy their dogs at. Give one a try, you’ll see the difference.

Along with the usual mustard, onions, bright green relish, tomatoes, pickle, sport peppers and celery salt all on a poppy seed bun. Sammie’s add fresh cucumbers which makes all the difference in the world. Sammie’s is no longer in the city but neither am I. Sammie’s has several locations in the northern burbs and I get one of their dogs regularly. Try one and you’ll see the difference.

Quick and efficient, very affordable, and the food is fresh and delicious! Burger was juicy, shrimp was amazing, and fries were perfect. We are SO glad we found this place. We live in Indiana, but we WILL be back!!!

I’ve been there 3 times, two times they burnt my fries, and the last time they burnt my burger so the patties were charred around the edges. I’ll be looking for a better place to go, I feel like I’ve given them a few chances.
