Sam's Cafe is a popular diner in downtown Champaign that offers a classic, family-like atmosphere with friendly and attentive service. Customers can see their food being cooked on the griddle, adding to the authentic experience. The French toast is highly recommended and often described as fluffy, sweet, and always top notch. The omelette is considered delicious and satisfying, while the double cheeseburger is specially seasoned, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The breakfast menu also includes the well-loved corned beef hash, which receives positive remarks. However, some dishes like biscuits and gravy have received mixed reviews; the gravy was found inedible by some, and the biscuits were doughy. The scrambled eggs can be runny, and the hash browns are cooked in a lot of oil. Despite this, the overall dining experience is enjoyable, with excellent service and a laid-back vibe. The restaurant is cash-only, which adds to its old-fashioned charm. Customers appreciate the quick service and the opportunity to enjoy a satisfying meal in a cozy, nostalgic setting, making Sam's Cafe a treasured staple in the Champaign restaurant scene.
