It’s a very cute place, but it felt like many of the positive reviews are driven more by nostalgia than the actual experience. The food was mediocre at best. I was especially disappointed with the chilaquiles and ended up ordering a second dish because of it. Unfortunately, the service was lacking a lot as well, we were never checked on, and we had to work hard just to get someone’s attention to ask for the bill. I would definitely not come back here

We love Sam’s Log Cabin! The best brunch place with amazing food, especially the pancakes and the French toast. They have specials everyday and refills for coffee. All the seating is outside but with heaters and it’s a great atmosphere. There might be a wait on the weekends.

Food was fresh and well prepared. Portions were large. A little pricey for breakfast. A lot of options though.

I'm having to change my review from over 6 years ago and it's literally heart breaking! My family and I have been going here for close to 10 years, and I've noticed a slow decline in their quality. My last time there was about a week ago with my 13 year old son, we decided to go out and grab some breakfast while my wife was outta town for business. We ordered the same thing we typically have which is the biscuits and gravy, first let me start with I assume was a new server, she was a young Hispanic woman with rediculously long fake eyelashes who acted like we were bothering her with our order. The breakfast arrived and the first thing I noticed was the white gravy was just gravy with virtuously no meat, so I tasted it and the biscuits were dry and bland, then I asked for some extra gravy hoping it would come with some meat in it, I again was disappointed. When I spoke to the waitress she basically dismissed me. I don't know what is going on with Sam's, but that definitely turned the tide for me. That was a signal, time to find a new breakfast spot. Sorry Sam's, I'm out.

Sam's is my go-to brunch spot :) i usually stick to classic breakfast stuff but everything looks good. I love the coffee bar and all the nooks and crannies. the main reason i keep coming back is the open garden vibe! sometimes butterflies flutter around, and there are lots of plants and trees that are homey and well maintained.

What we had that was good was really good (Cornmeal pancakes were delicious and the French toast was great too) but what wasn’t was really disappointing and that could have easily been avoided. My husband ordered the biscuits and gravy and I can only assume that they had run out of biscuits, as what he got was gravy over a hamburger bun. We would have been completely understanding if our server had let us know they were going to substitute the biscuit out, although we definitely would have chosen to order something else, but no one ever mentioned to us that there would be no biscuit in the biscuits and gravy. There were a couple other pretty obvious substitutions made to our orders, which we were also not told about before the food arrived. I just wish someone had told us up front about the changes that would be made, as we really wanted to like eating here.
I just did understand why I had to stop talking and get up to get water. They brought me some cold food and told me the hot sauce is next to the water. Im done

Adorable!!! How I didn't know this existed is beyond me!
My friend was in town from Tokyo pre-Folsom festival and we were looking for a lil breakfast, before driving to Pt. Reyes.
Did a lil search and this spot looked cute as a button. Rustic with a lil outdoor garden area to sit. I saw a stage, so I assume there is live music sometimes.
Anyways....food was great. I had grits and eggs...lovely. For my taste, it just needed a dash of hot sauce; but I always need a dash of hot sauce for cheese grits. I finished my plate in record time because I was famished.
My friend got the Reuben (I know ...for breakfast?), but he said it was delicious and filling.
Fresh squeezed OJ was excellent and pulpy and the folks working were very kind indeed.
I definitely plan to go back to try their collards because they sounded like they'd be a lil bit of heaven. Specials board was interesting as well.

Nice place to get brunch. Seating is all outside, but a lot of it is covered so you can mostly get shade. Menu is not huge, but has good variety, with some good Mexican style options. Main downside is we tend to eat brunch on the later side and they're usually out of scones by then, and if you can get the scones (varying flavors) you definitely want them.

The Good the bad the ugly
Good: Atmosphere - cute, rustic outdoor area.
Bad: service was very non welcoming to first timers. We almost felt guilty asking for anything and were heavily redirected to go walk and get your own. No available inside seating because staff has taken over the dining room as their closet rack and staging area. Which you will have to pass through if you need the restrooms.
Ugly: Food was not good. Terrible bacon. Grits.. an abomination. Bad Mac and cheese.
This spot should have a classic American vibe you should feel like you have escaped the hustle and hustle and are getting superb food and service. However it was the opposite. Surrounded by dogs everywhere it felt more like a dog park with a good truck on the back and tables.
It has now become a joke for us when breakfast options come up. We will never return. Not even with our dog. Extremely disappointed.
