“I have searched for the best biscuits and gravy in Central Illinois. Sam's Cafe is the best I have found. The biscuits are real biscuits and the gravy tastes close to homemade. The service is great and friendly. It's an old fashioned looking diner on a busy city street, Try it.“
“We always seem to come at the oddest hours like 1 am, 3am, etc... But every time the young female manager working is so wonderful and double checks our order Everytime for accuracy, we just love her . But the new hostess with the blood hair, she just stood their and watched me stand at the front as she ignored me and three other people to continue to clean off a few tables for ten minutes then finally helped us work our to go orders ..“
“If you like Waffle House, you'll feel right at home here. It's a very typical diner setting. Probably one of the last places to have a smoking section back when it was acceptable (it doesn't anymore). Food was great. Great view of a busy street area for slight entertainment. There was even a homeless/sign holder guy out there on the corner. So you really get the full city feel, but in a diner setting. Excellent. The 4-star was because there's a juke box (completely unnecessary in an already packed house), that decided to turn itself on and really ruin the moment while me and my wife were trying to have lunch together. Get rid of it. It's a diner not a bar. Otherwise good place.“
