Really love Sam’s! The Chilaquiles are my go to choice and if the sun is out, a table in the sunshine is pure perfection. The staff is efficient - I would welcome a little more friendliness if they are taking notes. Also I would buy a latte every time if they would put in a mug rather than a clear glass. Lately choosing iced tea instead. I especially love coming on a weekday when there is generally no wait time. The heaters are well placed and going on cold days is still really nice.Parking: Be willing to walk 5 min and you can find free street parking.

Big portions, decent price and good food. Only problem is they don't have ICE water. Some people like ice water not room temp.

The greens come with a good amount of pork. And the cornbread with it is delicious. Also loved the corned beef as a side (very filling, even for a side portion, I think).

My husband and I enjoy a locally owned restaurant. Sam's Log Cabin absolutely did not disappoint. We loved the food, service, and atmosphere. All of the food is over the top delicious, and the pancakes with Vermont syrup. *Chef's Kiss*. The pancakes here are one the best pancakes I have ever tasted in my life. The chilaquilles are not made how I am used to, but they remind me of how my grandmother used to make them. Texas style and very delicious. I am not sure if that is the same inspiration for theirs, but either way, very good. I also love how everything we have ordered here has been organic, fresh, and wholesome. The orange juice is freshly squeezed, which is the icing on the cake with any breakfast meal. Also, some of the staff here are bilingual, which is great in my opinion.Dietary restrictions: They can make accomodationsParking: There is street parking available.Kid-friendliness: My toddler loves to come here. There is a wide open space to take him walking around when he comes restless sitting down.Wheelchair accessibility: We do not use a wheelchair, but their pathway come in handy for strollers.

Needed to find a restaraunt for lunch with outdoor seating. Fresh organic well prepared brunch food. Not a lot of vegan options, great for omnivores. Self serve coffee. Street parking. I'll be back.

Amazing food, service and location. A wonderful place to get breakfast (6 people max). Make sure to wait out front after you put your name down. I recommend spending the time waiting out front to look over the menu. Hosts and servers are very kind and helpful. Food is really amazing, the French toast is quite scrumptious.Vegetarian options: Not a lot of vegan options, but a couple salads. Non dairy options were soy and oat milkParking: Parking on both sides of street. You might have to walk a little bit. 90min parking is enforced so set a timer and make sure to move your car before it’s up.

Good food but not great service. They make you get up a go to a station across the restaurant to get water, hot sauce and coffee refills. Then the bill comes and the automatic tipping options start at 20%. If I have to get up from my table to put my meal together, that isn’t full service and isn’t worth 20%.
