First time here, food was good, but not amazing. I had the country skillet, but the country gravy was thick and somewhat lumpy. Huge portion, I brought a little over half home. Husband enjoyed the corned beef hash & eggs. Servers were nice and kept my beverage glass full. I will try Sammy's again.

I had a very good breakfast this morning. I ordered the cinnamon roll French toast combo and everything was hot, delicious, and perfectly cooked. If the food was this good on a regular basis, I would definitely come more often.

A few weeks ago, I drove by and saw a sign that heralded a return of a restaurant to the space formerly housing a Bob's Big Boy. I was surprised to see the Big Boy statue still in the parking. (I was even more surprised that it was unscathed, not tagged up or vandalized!) I stopped today for a late lunch. I had read about people complaining about service. I did not encounter that at all. I was greeted right away and led to a booth. She came back shortly to ask if I would be more comfortable at a different table. I very much appreciated that offer. She checked on me frequently, but not obtrusively. There were maybe 10 tables, when I came in, which is a good sign for a late afternoon lunch. The menu is enormous. There is a mix of typical American diner food, like meatloaf, sandwiches, salads, but there are also multiple Mexican offerings. I asked for an iced tea. I got my tea, plus a basket of freshly-made tortilla chips and a small bowl of a watery salsa. The salsa wasn't as chunky as I like, but it had a good savory flavor, not hot. I opted for a combination with a tamal and a chile relleno. I was brought an enormous plate with an enormous tamal. Sadly, the tamal was mostly masa, with a little bit of dry shredded pork. I liked the sauce that was served over the tamal, but it didn't add much moisture, so I used the leftover table salsa. The chile relleno was much better. It had a large amount of Monterey jack cheese and a fluffy egg exterior. A ranchero sauce covered it. The rice was super moist, but didn't have much flavor. I liked the refried beans, but they could have used just a touch more salt and a little more fat, preferably lard or bacon grease. I left satisfied. I want to try some of the diner food. Much of the interior decorations and seating is original to the Bob's franchise.
