I and three other friends were visiting Brantford from the states as we have a friend living there. I wanted to try a place that sold poutine and Sammy’s did not disappoint! It was very relaxed and our server was very friendly. The food was pretty good and the prices were good too.

I’d say 3.5 but I rounded up bc the server was delightful. Everything was good (burger, wings, cold beer, veg sticks and ranch) - as expected from a lil hometown pub but the wings were so dry and tiny. The flavour was really nice but I had to take a drink with every bite, talking like chicken jerky texture! My only suggestion is to reevaluate the wing meat supplier and make sure the cooks don’t fry the things to high heaven.

This was my first time trying out this spot. I was visiting my dad in Brantford so we decided to give it a try. I had the Buffalo chicken sandwich with fries as my side. My dad got the fish and chips with the chips made into a poutine. My sandwich was really good. Lots of sauce on the chicken. My only issue was the bun. It was too thick for my liking. My dad loved the fish. Two big pieces that were tasty. We didn't have to wait long either for our order to be ready. The staff are nice and made sure I got a re-fill of my diet pepsi. The poutine was just ok. Only down fall was they used shredded cheese instead of curds. If they got curds my dad said it would of been perfect. We saw their wings coming out of the kitchen for others and they looked amazing! Big and juicy so next visit we'll be trying them. We'll definitely be back in the near future. The waitress informed us that the meat loaf is homemade as well as their Alfredo sauce.

I have frequented Sammy's for many many years. I fell in love with their food and service from my first visit. Great and friendly atmosphere and I always have lovely service. Food is amazing as well. Have had their wings, fish and chips, many appetizers, burgers and sandwiches. Today's visit we had 4 cheese spinach dip, and I ordered a bacon cheddar burger with poutine as a side. I was so full from the appetizer and poutine (refuse to take cold fries/poutine home) that I didn't get to touch the big juicy burger until later. I won't remove any stars as it's just a side, but the only improvement I suggest from a poutine enthusiast is to switch to curds vs shredded cheese. Unfortunately never get dessert from here as always to full, but their dessert menu looks delicious. Thank you Sammy's for the amazing food and service all these years! Please don't change.

In short, I wouldn't come back or recommend this place. Please read on for more. Walking into this place today mid afternoon we were greeted....by a customer. There were no staff to greet or seat us, so we took the advice of the random customer sitting near the front, grabbed our own menus, and then sat down. After a while, an older lady came to serve us. Initially she was quite pleasant. But when asked about whether the soup of the day was fresh and whether folks like it, one could tell she wasn't eager to answer the question though she did remain somewhat pleasant still. I did also mention that I write reviews and that I am looking forward to trying the food, as it was recommended by another local. The waitress didn't seem particularly receptive to that. We ordered some soda and shortly after that showed up, the soups did as well. Immediately after setting the hot bowls down on the table the same server who took our order told us that "the cheese sank into the soup" before promptly walking away. Indeed, there was a little bit of cheese hanging over the edge of one side of the bowl, and no more cheese to be seen without digging to the bottom of the bowl. The cheese should have been on top of the soup, floating on top of the croutons but was instead at the very bottom, prompting a salvage operation with the utensils to rescue it. The croutons were incredibly soggy, as if sitting in the soup for a long time. They disintegrate in your mouth and taste of nothing. The onions on the other hand were nice, and though I am sure they sat in the soup for a while too, they at least had some texture and gave the soup some much needed substance. The cheese eventually was salvaged and tasted okay, but was mostly in a big blob, which explain why it sank to Davy Jones' locker in the first place. The broth was a little under seasoned but when had with the ball of cheese it was pretty decent. Overall I found it a bit watery. When our mains arrived, the soup bowls were not cleared from the table. I ordered a bacon and cheese burger with a side of mashed potatoes and my friend had a salad and a wrap. My friend commented that the wrap was actually pretty good, and that the salad was okay because "it's hard to f^@! up a salad". My burger actually tasted nice. There was less tomato and more lettuce than I would have liked, but that's okay. There was also a little onion and what looked like a thin film of melted cheese on the patty. The beef itself tasted well seasoned and was hot throughout. It seems it was cooked well, and there was a consistent temperature and browning. The mashed potatoes on the other hand were not good to say the least. I could tell right away that they tasted microwaved, because the inside was warm (not hot), the outside was piping hot, and they had a sandy texture and inconsistent flavour. They were overly garlicky as well. A little is nice for taste, but the garlic taste was quite strong. After getting our bills, we came up to the front and I had mentioned my feedback to one of the other ladies there. She was actually very pleasant, and apologetic about the experience. As she was responding to my feedback (in a very positive way mind you) the older lady who had initially served us and now standing right beside the lady I was talking to gave us a pretty mean look. Despite that, I left a 10% tip, even though I felt I probably shouldn't have. I only did because the other lady was very nice and expressed genuine concern for the feedback, letting us know she'd tell the kitchen. I understand this is more of a laid back establishment, but I have to say the decor feels like it's from 1979. My friend said "I feel like I'm in a movie.". While there was that one saving grace at the end, I don't think this is a place I would go again, even when hungry. If the food quality and the service improves, that might change. Until then, I can't recommend this place.

Been eating here since 2009. Used to be great food. Consistently provide sub par take out quality. Grease needs changing as fries are dark brown and fish batter is dark brown and brittle/burnt. Happened more than one time. Customers should not have to notify a restaurant their grease needs changing. You would think that is something you would just know to do BEFORE giving customers bad food. Emailed owners directly with no response.

This is the best swiss mushroom burger I've had in a long time. Just wish there were sweet potato fries as an option but I didn't truly miss out as they're fries were made the best way. Fresh and thick cut fried to caramelized perfection , hence the poutine (no cheese curds just melted cheddar/marble) was great too. The corn muffins are also a must have. Can't wait to share with friends and family about this spot. Parking is a mystery here though.

Stopped in at Sammys in Brantford for dinner the other evening with the wife and mother in law. Upon entering we were warmly greeted and seated by one of the friendliest waitresses Ive met in a long time. Cold drinks on the table before I could get my coat off and an order of breaded pickle spears shortly after. Fridays special was a belt busting plate of fish n fresh cut fries including slaw and homemade tartar, that my overly enthusiastic wife thought that she could conquer ! And conquer she did... but I had to listen to her complaints of over indulgence all the way home! My mother in law tackled Sammys jaw dislocating Swiss mushroom burger with fries, which I might add she gracefully mastered consuming with little but namanum noises slipping by each bite. I myself dug into a towering bacon cheddar burger loaded up with all the fresh condiments and a pile of fries that I couldnt complete . Gotta say that Mary and her Crew served up a great dinner. We will be back

Had fish and chips but the fish inside the batter was not good and there was more batter then fish for the high price we paid. The cole slaw was ok, french fries were ok. Parking: Parked in front of the restaurant, I dont know if it was free, went to pick up our food, had to step into snow piles to get to the restaurant. I didnt see any other parking besides the street.

i will ALWAYS give this place a 5 star review but after lastnight i think it deserves more than just 5 stars. Lastnight i went here for Dinner with my family for my birthday we had Rebecca as our waitress & if i could id ask for her anywhere i went to eat to be my waitress i would, so sweet, always joking around, always came back to make sure our food was okay even when she was the only one serving tables & she still killed it! she would always laugh with us & had such a contagious bubbly attitude, she definitely deserved the outrageous tip we gave her. Service was beyond standard met. As for the food i can never say anything wrong, hot, cooked to perfection, came out super fast the cook that brought it out was also very nice & accomadated everything weve asked for, ketchup, dips, anything you asked for he was on it. nothing was over cooked, portions were huge where if you ate half of it & were still full looked like you barely touched it. prices are amazing & the only thing i can say about this place is i wish it was in a better area of town! thanks Sammys!

Wow,.. wow, just...wow... and not a good wow. This place 10 years ago was amazing. I told people to eat here, which says a lot. Tonight was a total letdown. 1st - the pop was disgusting, it tasted flat and watered down. 2nd - dirty utensils. 3rd - fries were cold, under cooked and saturated in oil. (Their fries used to be TOP notch) 4th - the ribs were over cooked, really tough. There was no fall off the bone meat, it was hard to cut them with the sharp knife provided. 5th - bbq chicken breast was served cold 6th - plum sauce tasted weird and was very runny. Maybe theyre watering that down too? 7th - my wife ordered wings, she got ribs. **we mentioned the mistake and the waitress immediately fixed it and the kitchen sent out fresh wings... BUT we ordered sauced wings not a dry rub flavor and they were dry and flavorless. This place has changed and not for the good. Which is unfortunate, they used to be a great pub for really decent bar food. Dont eat here, even if someone else is paying.

Sammys is a beloved local spot and you can see why: the food is delicious, comforting, and extremely generous in portion size. And in a time when food prices keep skyrocketing, Sammys manages to keep costs fairly low. So if youre looking for local pub food, youre hungry, and youre not fussed about service or atmosphere, honestly look no further. Delicious wraps, wings, onion rings, fries, fish and chips and more. My most recent visit I was grabbing both fries and poutine to go. Despite calling my order in and getting an ETA, the staff were not expecting me and did not have record of my order on the counter. After some confusion and support from a few folks, they were able to track it down. During the ~10 minute wait at the bar, I observed several small parties eager to get a table. As it was a weekend evening, the place was busy (as usual) and staff were perhaps a bit flustered (as usual). However, the no-nonsense approach to seating, ordering, and checking out is in keeping with the atmosphere of a greasy and slightly dank rec room-style pub. The lack of parking is not only a long-standing joke but practically a feature at this point. Sammys is optimized for local families walking in. For drivers, the Tim Hortons across the street seems to be a popular choice with very low chance of parking infraction. Solid choice for pub food.

I would give more stars if I could. My partner and I were very impressed with this place. The customer service was exceptional. There was only one female attending to atleast 7 tables while answering phone orders,pick orders and the kitchen calls when the food was ready to be served or picked up. She served each customer with a very pleasant and calm manner. Since it was our first time here, we were able to ask question and place our take out order. We also noticed there was only one person working in the kitchen non stop. We plan to take my mom there to eat again. The wings were great. Will recommend it to any one who wants to have a great experience eating out.

Other than, the poor parking, the food here is always good. I often get the wings, there is a good taste selection. I havent tried all the flavors yet, but I will. They now have an updated menu.

Sammys Rec Room is a nice little old town sports eatery that has great service and comfortable atmosphere overall. There is street parking and parking lot across by the Timmies. My first visit was on April.9,2022. I was satisfied with my visit. Support the hard working middle class business/family.

The food and service have historically always been good. While the service now is still top tier, I fear that inflation has caused them to raise prices and reduce portion sizes.

Moved from Brantford years ago, but would still pop by Sammys when in Btown. Sammys USED to be top notch bar grub and atmosphere. We understand prices of everything have gone up everywhere, it sucks, but we are all affected by these times. WE WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT LOCAL! BUT, sorry Sammys, you failed today. Prices altho still reasonable, ( fish and chips, the salad with bacon, egg, chicken etc, two iced teas and spinach dip starter) , portion size has drastically decreased. But worse than that...the atmosphere just isnt the same Ole Sammys that kept us coming back no matter where we live. Very unfortunate, another favourite gone

Decided to try this place I am kinda mad at myself that I didnt before. This is a very good down home restaurant they make food to fill you up and tastes good and doesnt cost you a lot. Was greeted by a friendly waitress who didnt make me feel pressured into ordering quickly. Also the owner was friendly and was checking in on other guests asking if they needed anything. Got a Philly cheese steak sandwich with fries and it was under $15 before tip. Good sized portions and seasoned pretty well. Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu especially the wings. Seems like a good place to go watch a game with some friends grab some food and not kill your wallet plus they look like they have quite a few beers and other drinks on the menu. Only thing is if your watching your salt make sure you ask them for unsalted fries

I ordered 3 lbs of wings. 1 pound was supposed to be a dry rub and wasnt and the other two were honey garlic and mild. They are the worst wings I have ever eaten, 6/8 wings in each lb were drum sticks and they were hard and they had zero flavor. I will never order from here again. The absolute WORST wings I have ever eaten in my life. So disappointed !!!!!

Dont let the exterior fool you. This is by far one of the best places I have been to for real Fish and Chips. If you like beer battered fish and fresh cut fries, you will not be disappointed. The service was great. The washrooms clean and the atmosphere was homey and comfortable. You will not go home hungry, great value!!

December 21, 2021

Very disappointed with Sammys! Ordered 2 lbs wings with side fries and Philly Cheese steak with fries for takeout.The wings were very bland with no flavour to the sauces ( honey garlic and BBQ) Also never received my side fries. Sammys gave me a credit but I doubt I will eat there again. I think they watered down their sauces too!! Used to really enjoy their wings but I guess all good things come to an end! No star rating!

Have eaten here for over 10 years and dont ever remember having a bad meal. Place has had a refresh front and back in the last 4-5 years. Menu prices have stayed the same in some areas and increased in others which is to be expected. My wifes favorite is the Brantford Bisons wrap, daughter the chicken wings as for me if not the Cardiac has to be the Philly haha. Great place for the game, date night, family night out or any occasion in between, the Rec Room has you covered!
