Excellent breakfast. However, providing just a single slice of toast for a $31 meal is unacceptable.

Great service, clean, nice atmosphere. I had the blueberry pancakes. The pancakes themselves were delicious and perfectly cooked. Unfortunately, they were pretty spare with the blueberries. There should have been more given the upcharge. And the syrup was oddly not sweet? I kept adding more, but it didn't seem to make a difference. It was really thick syrup, too. Like unnaturally thick. They need to get a better quality syrup, or offer maple as an extra. I would go back, but I'd maybe order something else.

Considered coming here for breakfast, but then I saw how the owner responds to negative reviews on Yelp. Instantly reconsidered.

Came to give this eatery a try as I came into Half Moon Bay. Service was excellent, my servers were very polite and attended to our requests as kindly as possible. It did not take a long time for our orders to arrive at our table, and the food was delicious.

I ordered the corned beef hash and eggs with house fries, and I savored every bite. I’ll admit I was a tad skeptical about the large potato dice, and was anticipating that the taters weren’t cooked well, but I was wrong. They were delicious, and surely complemented the eggs and hash, too!
I ordered a pancake on the side, and my perception was that they were from a box mix due to the texture and flavor. However, it doesn’t dismiss the fact that the pancake was still tasty.

If ever I return here to Half Moon Bay, I would love to come back here, maybe even for lunch!

Great breakfast and fast service! Prices were a little higher than what the outdated menu said, but the food itself was very good and the orange juice was very fresh!

From the outside, Sam’s doesn’t look like much, but inside, it’s cozy and inviting. A classic breakfast spot. Nothing fancy.
We had the Eggs Benedict and Huevos Rancheros—both were good. Portion sizes were good.
However, in my opinion, the prices are quite high for a classic breakfast. The Huevos Rancheros was $20 and the eggs Benedict were $19. A cup of tea is $4. To me that is a little steep.

Food and service are good. However, most of their breakfast dishes cost around $20, which seems pretty overpriced compared to other local breakfast places. The real winner is the salsa negrita!

Now open for dinner.Clean and quiet. Server was friendly, and polite.I had a good burger with fries ?My wife had fish tacos ?All was served hot, and tasty.We'll be back, it's one of the few reasonable sit down restaurants open for dinner. Most of the alternatives in HMB are pretty pretentious, this was comfortable and unassuming with good food.
