“Stepping into Sam's Cafe at the outlet mall today was nothing short of a delightful experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the warm and welcoming ambiance that promised a cozy retreat from the hustle and bustle of shopping.What truly set Sam's Cafe apart was the exceptional quality of their coffee. I had the pleasure of trying their frappuccino, and I must say, it was fantastic. The blend of flavors was perfect, with just the right amount of sweetness and a robust coffee kick that you hope for in a top-notch frappuccino. It's clear that Sam's Cafe doesn't compromise on quality, using premium ingredients to craft a drink that truly stands out.Equally impressive was the hospitality shown by the owner. Their genuine warmth and friendliness made me feel right at home, adding a personal touch that is often missing in many establishments today. It's evident that the owner takes great pride in their cafe and in ensuring every customer's experience is memorable.I can confidently say that Sam's Cafe is a gem within the outlet mall, offering not just excellent coffee but also a welcoming atmosphere that invites you to relax and enjoy your time there. I'm already looking forward to my next visit and would highly recommend this cafe to anyone in search of a great coffee and an even greater experience.”

“Place is amazing. Tables are first come first serve. You may have to wait for a table to open. If you have a big party it may be hard for all to sit together if it’s a busy time. Service was great! Food was great! Milkshakes are pretty amazing”

“Got there late about. 7 our order took some time to get . My tater tots were over cooked and we couldn't get a fish fry. We kinda felt rushed as they were putting chairs on the empty tables . We have been there before and had a great time. . Guess it depends on the time of day.”

“Great food great service. Four of us cost $71 with tax. We ordered 3 large platters that came with you choose of meat two side and corn bread. Then one small platter with one side and corn bread. And two empanadas. Food was delicious. The cabbage was so soft and flavorful with a bit of spice. Has to be my favorite side dish. The Spanish rice with beans was incredible. Mac and cheese was so cheesy and flavorful. It just melted in your mouth. The ribs were soft and fell off the bone. The fried chicken was juicy and crunchy. The empanadas were good but I like green olives in mine as it adds extra salt. They were still crispy and delicious. Overall it was a great experience with amazing food and great customer service. Would love to see the owners open an actual sit down restaurant.Empanadas were two for $6Large Fried chicken platter $15Large rib platter $16Small rib platter $12Empanada platter $15Tax $7”

“We came after an adventure to the outlet mall. We were all very satisfied by our experience here. Both my wife and I ordered the chicken skewer dinner served on a bed of rice with a Greek salad. The chicken and rice was deliciously flavored and cooked to perfection. The salad was also very fresh and wonderful. There was a generous serving of lettuce, dressing, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, green pepper, feta cheese, and olives (we omitted the olives). Our daughter got the fried chicken tenders with fries which were juicy and cooked well for fried foods. The server was attentive and helpful while we were selecting our meals. We were surprised to find such a great place to eat tucked away in the outlet malls. Thanks for the wonderful lunch!Kid-friendliness: They do have kid-friendly foods on their menu.”

“The place is nica and quaint, some furniture looks like from the 60s. The waitress was a little grumpy, she was in a constant rush. The food is awesome and cheap. The price quality ratio is great. 5 dollars for a waffle and 7 for a pancake. The beverages are delightful and also great value.”

“Absolutely amazing . I couldn't think of a better place to go and enjoy not only a birthday but a lovely meal ! Quick service! And food is impeccable. The staff is very friendly! I would recommend this restaurant 10/10”

“Stopped for lunch. Food was pretty good, drinks are drinks, but the bar tender knew how to mix them (bonus these days). The bill was a little higher than expected for the size of the place but still affordable. If I'm ever in the area I would definitely go again.”

“Service can't be beat! Popular place for both locals and travelers who stay at the attached hotel. The recent remodel of the hotel has been a nice improvement. Be sure to try the blue bayou wings.”

“Can’t praise this restaurant enough ❣️❣️❣️The Star Diner is the best restaurant between Geneva and Waterloo. The staff is very friendly and the food is delicious and prices are right for seniors who are on fixed income. ❤️”

“This is all around good place to eat , friendly service I had the chicken Parm it was very good and I get the chicken Parm everywhere. It’s definitely one of the best places around with better prices.”

“Best Chinese food we've had in a Long time! The crab rangoons were Amazing, crisp shells filled with an abundance of cream cheese and crab. The shrimp lo mein was tasty and there was a generous portion of shrimp. The pork fried rice and egg drop soup were both wonderful as well. The only thing we weren't wowed by was the eggroll, the shell of which seemed a bit thick and chewy. We stopped in to order take out and had our hot, delicious meal ready to go in less than 5 minutes! Very impressive. The cashier was very pleasant also. Our new favorite restaurant!”

“The owners are great people they are one of the few bars in the nearest surrounding area that actually host family trivia night where you can bring your family have great food and have a little to drink unlike most bars around the area that are meant to get people drunk and loud occasionally they have comedians and live bands the atmosphere almost reminds you of the show Cheers”

“My boyfriend and I came in and Noah was our bartender! Not only did he make the best margaritas- he was very conversational and wonderful to talk to! We ordered the steakhouse platter I think it was called- a little bit of everything - it was perfect❤️”

“When we come to Del Lago we love eating dinner at the Sociale Cafe. Food was excellent as always. Waitress was Michele who was very friendly as we had her serve us before. Highly recommend the restaurant.”
