What a great atmosphere! Highly recommended !the best food in the whole valley! My whole family loves this place! (trust me there is a lot of us between the Kingsley’s and Novotnys ) yeah (Very friendly! Prices are so good. It is just unbeatable.!
After casting our votes, my father and I decided to have breakfast at Sam's, a local establishment. Upon entering, we found only one clean table available, which we occupied. Despite our presence, the waitress failed to acknowledge us, passing by multiple times without offering any form of greeting or service. She continued to attend to other tables, providing them with place mats, utensils, and coffee, while we remained unacknowledged. Subsequently, she moved to the busser station to clean dishes, completely disregarding us. After an extended period of waiting without any interaction, we chose to leave the establishment, concluding that we would not return. My experience as a former waitress informs me that, regardless of how busy one may be, it is essential to acknowledge patrons, particularly after passing them numerous times. Such behavior reflects poorly on the establishment and indicates a lack of professionalism. It is advisable for management to address these service deficiencies to improve customer satisfaction.

If you are looking for a small town breakfast dinner filled with older people this is the place for you! There food is delicious, and the staff was great!
Parking: plenty of on street parking unless its prime breakfast time or there's an event. In which case maybe you have to walk a little bit but nothing terrible.
Kid-friendliness: About what you'd expect for taking kids to breakfast. Maybe some of the crowd will dote a little more on the children. That being said in the 3 or 4 times I ate there I have not see a kid.
Wheelchair accessibility: A little bit of a threshold bump through the doorway, no handicap button. All first floor with tables and booths.

My Granddaughters took to Breakfast for my Bday a week ago and I loved it. No it is not fancy, it is like being home. My pancake was delicious and the egg done just right. My girls loved their food also. The waitress was great! Yes I will be going back again soon!

Fabolous food and service. The workers are warm and make an effort to know you by name. The entertainment is top drawer all the way. Ralph Perry, the unofficial host, does a terrific job sharing his hilarious jokes and stories that make everyone laugh and feel quite special. Can't find a place around here that compares with Sam's. It is simply a very fine and unique place..........a place you'll want to come back to over and over again!

The food here is the best around. The service is exceptionally good. Ralph Perry is a regular patron of this establishment, and this alone draws a number of people who eagerly seek and enjoy his great warmth and humor. If you have never been there before, you really owe it to yourself to come. You will have a fabulous meal and a truly great time!

On a trip, checked online for a good place for breakfast! This was it! Nice, clean place, friendly, great food at great prices, takes cash or credit a real home town diner! Coffee was wonderful! Wish I would have had room for a homebaked muffin! Definitely will stop again when in the area! Thanks ☺️

Fantastic place to grab breakfast. Grew up in Athens from ages 6-16, and come back on occasion to visit my mother. This has become a go to spot. Fast service, great food, great prices. -

Food, service, and prices are all really good but they're only open for very limited hours. Would recommend.
Kid-friendliness: Calm, quiet atmosphere with kind and attentive wait staff. Would be well suited for calmer or older children.
