Love eating here! The food is always great, and the people are friendly. It’s very nice place for a meal.
Hadn't been here for years but will definitely return. Ashly was an exceptional server. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. I love great service. I had ordered avocado toast, thinking it was just avocado toast (the menu listed additional things it had on it below the price, which I didn't think came on it). When it arrived with all the fixings (which I couldn't eat), my family told Ashly I was vegan, and without hesitation, she went and brought me a plain avocado toast. I asked her to charge me for 2, but she didn't! The restaurant definitely didn't need to do that, but I appreciate it and will definitely return. The avocado toast was delicious and I'm sure many others would have enjoyed it how it usually came served, as well. Love when restaurants are inclusive and I can join in on breakfast, too!
Very much what you would consider to be a classic family restaurant in decor, service and menu. You feel like nothing has changed in 20-30 years at this place. Food was decent and portion size fair. Service was excellent and friendly. Prices are fair. Closes pretty early, but I suspect that has more to do with the average age of the guests. There's not much to say about this place other than it's a solid unpretentious restaurant.
Food and service was very good. Good portion and very accommodating staff, i would recommend!!! The only downfall I would say is the New York Steak could be better. Thanks Ashley and lin
OMG! If I could give this one million stars, I would. I LOVE this restaurant. Its homey, its lively, its welcoming. Ashley, The waitress that served us today was so nice and friendly. And as you can see, the food was amazing. I ordered Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo, and it was mmmmmmm, YUM!! If you haven't been to this restaurant, then go NOW! I promise you, you won't regret it!
Sammy's Restaurant is a delightful spot for breakfast enthusiasts! Their amazing breakfast options are a real treat, with flavors that burst with each bite. The chicken pesto wrap is a must-try, combining savory chicken with vibrant pesto for a satisfying meal. The classic omelette is cooked to perfection, and the veggie omelette is a delicious choice for vegetarians. Not only is the food fantastic, but the service is also top-notch. A great place to start your day on a delicious note!
This breakfast spot in Scarborough is a must-visit. In my experience, their food tastes even better than that of big food chain breakfast restaurants. The staff offers a warm welcome and outstanding service. There are plenty of options to choose from, and the ambiance is beautiful. Additionally, there is parking available on site.
Super cute Mom & Pop restaurant! Our server was excellent! Food came out fast and hot! A huge plus for me was the tea pots are large, not those minis you get everywhere else! Portions were great. Booths are private. Washrooms are downstairs so be aware, anyone with mobility issues. This was not my first visit and it wont be my last!
Great place for a family meal great prices and excellent service a1
Lynn is the greatest!
My fav early morning breakie place ...
I have been eating at Sammys once or twice a week for a few years. The food is good, large portions, very reasonably priced, clean, excellent service. I recommend this wonderful restaurant on a regular basis. Why would I go anywhere else ...I LOVE Sammys!!! Parking: Lots of free parking
Gr8 place and AWESOME service! Food was really nice & the Prices are very decent! Food
Good spot for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Lots of options and friendly staff
Good food and very friendly service! The gravey was not the best, but all else was good. Interior could use an update.
Nice lady worker and very friendly and observant, eager to please
Service was great steak was kinda tough
Excellent service, great food.
Food and service was amazing and prices are reasonable
The server Lynn is the meanest person. I dont know why anyone comes here
Lovely diner with good tasting and affordable food. Lots of choices in the menu that I would definitely try whenever I have to visit the Hospital nearby.
Great breakfast (thats the only meal I eat here) good coffee and good staff
This is a great hidden gem in Scarborough. The food is fresh and reasonably priced. Our Server was very friendly and seemed happy to be working at this establishment. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Everything is awesome
The food was good, I really liked the atmosphere... I had to wait too long to get coffee, I dont know... I ordered my coffee and was treated very rudely. I want to give it another chance... someday.
Just had an amazing experience at Sammys. The people make you so welcome at the place, and the service is excellent. Truly feels like entering a family home for you meals! Staff is so friendly, so nice! We literally were spoilt for choice. Based on our lunch feels for the day, we were recommended a few things and we loved our meals. Also, these guys are so generous with their portions. Happily stuffed and left with big smiles! We tried the lunch menu today (highly recommend the moussaka!) and we will be going back soon to try their breakfast!
I went in to pick up a liver dinner. The attendants were really sweet and helpful, informing me of all the options that were available with my order. The place is very clean with a warm atmosphere. Everyone should go to Sammys!
Maybe the best breakfast spot in Scarborough. Good value.
I would totally recommend Sammys Family Restaurant because.....they have... Great breakfast Great prices Great staff Food : 5/5 |
I used to go here on a regular basis years ago with my mother and loved it Was in the neighborhood yesterday and decided to drop it for dinner. Big mistake. After showing us to a table the waitress said nothing and tossed our napkin and utensils on the table and I reiterate Tossed!! After about 15 minutes of her walking back and forth past us with no acknowledgment of our existence and dealing with every every other table we decided to get up and walk out worst service ever. I was extremely disappointed..
Food was tasty, service was friendly - enjoyed my time there eating dinner!
This was one of the best diners I have been to. Great prices and astounding food. The service was excellent and quick. I would definitely recommend everyone to try the breakfast here.
Staff was so friendly and attentive, Food was delicious, hot and fresh! Really great prices ! We ll definitely be back highly recommend.. no pictures because we ate so fast ! Kid-friendliness: Nice family/diner style restaurant
Friendly staff clean environment food was spectacular!
Its hard to find the right words but I just want to say that the staff are great, quick its got a sense of community and the food is simple wholesome and a good variety and the prices are unheard of these days and really at value for money Can highly recommend them. I particularly used to like getting a breakfast on the run which is anytime of the day I really cant say enough about the the crew and chef at Sammys. Its becoming institution. Enjoy Some coffee choices would be nice after all these years and it would make it a great coffee place too. latte.. hint hint
The tastiest American breakfast I had so far. Very generous portion as well as food tastes delicious, cooked as it is supposed. What also surprised me .Price!! Doesn t seem they increased the pricing for the last 3-4 years. Even felt a throwback into cheaper times Overall: great food and affordable prices - my recommendation!
Very hospitable service and good food. Will come again!
I walked in with my family, got seated and walked right OUT after our interaction with the waitress around 3:00pm today. When we asked what the most popular item on the menu was, we were told that it was a broad question, followed by an unenthusiastic recommendation (provided for the sake of the question it seemed like). Her condescending tone of voice was enough to make us leave. Please speak to this individual about proper customer service.
A really nice mom & pop spot! I used to pop in for lunch when I worked in the area & and have tried different items on the menu...never had a bad experience! Burgers and souvlaki sandwich are especially delicious.
Just enjoyed one of my favourite dishes made to perfection- smoked salmon eggs Benedict with delicious potatoes on the side
A nice place for fancy English breakfast. Waitrers are just okay and home fries meh. Relatively cheaper than Sunset Grill and Eggsmart. Food : 4/5
Nice restaurant with a wide, varied menu
Since I was a kid and it was called The Suburban. Always good food and service. May have changed ownership over the years, but always good food in a clean place
Always good food
It was good overall, had the steak today and it was delicious. I came in the past a few times and had other items. The wait to get the food is between 10-20 minutes, which is a bit too long. So far i have tried the steak, meat lovers breakfast, cesar salad, and milkshake. I will come back again to try other things if the price doesnt go up.
Great place for breakfast
Amazing food
The food was delicious (fresh, well-seasoned, perfectly cooked, nicely-presented with the salads looking and tasting very fresh), the portions were generous and the staff were very friendly especially the chef. There were many patrons who seemed happy as well and the place has a cozy atmosphere. We ordered the Salisbury steak and fish & chip dinners. Its a treat to find such a restaurant with affordable prices!
Excellent customer service, they have free refills not just for coffee but for tea as well. Chef was accommodating and prepared liver and onions for brunch. It was delicious. We also had the steak and eggs. Unfortunately, steak was rubbery and lukewarm.
Ive gone here a few times and each time has been pleasant.
This is a great little greasy spoon in Scarborough! the prices were average the food was good the service was great, good variety of food on the menu Parking: Although it is free parking due to the construction from the TTC subway line parking can be limited
Asked for eggs well done they come raw bacon was cold potatoes also cold
This is a cozy and clean restaurant. Their food is so good! I had brunch with eggs and sausage. It was a large portion. It was so delicious that I ate the whole plate despite it being big. The homefries really are the best.
Fantastic little family restaurant! Fantastic menu and extremely reasonable prices. Will definitely be back when in town
Very busy early this morning. Food was mediocre. First time we tried this restaurant.
My Place I love going to Sammys. Whether its breakfast or lunch, they never disappoint. Service is awesome Staff are friendly and accommodating Generous portions Reasonable pricing. The only downside, is the washrooms are down a sleep set of stairs BUT has dual hand rails. I walked with a cane so thats an important thing for me. The perfect neighborhood place to go for good food at reasonable prices.
Great Burger!
Had breakfast at this location. The portions for the price you pay are fantastic. The sausages and ham could be of better quality however. It was a bit overcooked and dry in some parts, but overall the rest of the food was good.
Amazing food at a good price. One of the best mom and pops restaurants that I know of!!
Local restaurant with regular locals. At very affordable prices and good food! Highly recommend for breakfast, the home fries are delicious with crispy edges and soft middle. Food : 4/5
Always great service the very good food
By far my most loved stop for brunch. The food is to die for, cozy atmosphere, wonderful staff, and unbeatable prices. I don t think I ll want to go anywhere else for brunch ever again!
From the outside it doesnt look like much. I lived in the area for years and never tried it. Was introduced to it when I was visiting a friend. Great big portions. Good quality food. Big selection with a focus on all day breakfast. Food is delicious and well priced. Building is a bit dated. The menus are just lists with no images. If you can look past that this is a hidden gem!
Great food, great service, great prices !!!
Has a great Veggie burger, staff is attentive and pleasant
Sammy restaurant is an awesome place to eat. The food is very good, It doesnt look like much from outside, It is a family run restaurant. I recommend the open face turkey sandwich Food : 5/5 |
A Scarborough gem! Food food, generous portions and friendly service... all at reasonable prices. Food : 5/5
Ok ok
Love having breakfast at this quaint family restaurant. No fuss, nostalgic breakfasts.
Great place clean good food friendly atmosphere
Great place for breakky
I love this place! I come here a lot with my boyfriend and his family and we always get Amna as our server. She s so friendly and gets our orders done very quickly. We always look forward to the food and the service here. The food never disappoints. I also love the hot chocolate here compared to other places. Overall great experience and super cheap.
Always an enjoyable experience. Good food and friendly staff.
Loved the place Food was amazing Food
Great family restaurant, has breakfast all day. Food is standard pricing for a breakfast spot. Portions could be a little bigger, they re on the smaller side for the pricing. Restaurant is clean and comfortable, and service is wonderful! Good coffee. Recommend if you re looking for a good breakfast/brunch and don t want to travel far. I hope they get their front window fixed soon!
The french fries taste like cod and the windows are boarded up. Definitely disappointing experience all around...
Friendly & warm family place. My omelet was great!! Service amazing!!
Dietary restrictions: I wish they would have a halal menu Food
Mariana is the best ever! Our server has worked for many years. She is so lovely. I used to go to another location that she worked almost every day. I moved to Windsor but am visiting Toronto. My friend Wendy and her Mom told me they go to Sammys on McCowan and I had to go back with them. Who do I see when I walk in? Mariana! She had her usual gorgeous smile.. and welcoming demeanour. I will be in Toronto for awhile and will going back for sure! I had the steak and eggs with 3 over easy eggs , home fries and eye toast. A meal fit for a Queen! Mariana makes the ambience better too! Vegetarian options: Eggs, home made home fries. Salads, fries, pastas...lots of stuff! Parking: Right out front Kid-friendliness: My son used to love Sammys
Amazing service! I forget the name of our server but she was so attentive and kind. Great breakfast for a wonderful price!
Tonight for dinner, I was with my Agincourt Community Church family and we all went to Sammys Family Restaurant! I had a delicious salad, Seafood Fettuccine, and Apple Pie!! Everything was delicious and the prices were very reasonable. Thanks to the waitress for taking everyones order! Hoping to come back here again someday!!!!
Clean and friendly. Food was good will come back with Friends.
Awesome old school family restaurant. Prices are extremely reasonable for the portions and quality, especially the daily specials. I love the fish and chips and the club sandwich. Super friendly service from long standing staff. Kid-friendliness: High chairs and friendly staff
Just discovered this little hole in the wall. Service and food was excellent. It doesn t look like much from the outside but the price and portion definitely makes up for it. Planning to go back soon and try something else from there very extensive menu. Saulsberry steak was incredible and I must try!
Everything on the menu is good. Generous portions, very good service and friendly staff. Great family restaurant.
We have our retired FireFighters Breakfest Meetings at Sammys.The food is fantastic. The Customer service staff are fantastic and professional at their Jobs. Thank you Sammys for excellent service as allways. Food
This place is a hidden gem . The waitress was very attentive , great service . Prices are very good , I will be going back there again . Hard to find a old fashion breakfast with real home fries theses day . They have it all .
This place was amazing. The server was bubbly and the food was amazing. The cook here knows how to make food. I cant say anything more but check it out yourself. Price where spot on also. Great hidden gem of Scarborough. Grab some breakfast you wont regret it
Good family, neighbourhood restaurant. Very friendly staff. Good atmosphere. Prices are good. They serve all day breakfast, that s why I m here. Highly recommend for price and portion are good. Definitely coming back.
Meet there 3 or 4 times a month
Awesome little diner that needs more recognition as their food is astounding. I had the baby beef liver and onions, I know thats not to everyones taste, but it can be difficult to cook properly, and it was perfect. Tender, great gravy, and awesome value for your money. Great family atmosphere and wonderful customer service. Fantastic place. Highly recommended!!!
Food is great
Love this place but I feel like some waitresses pick and choose who sits first regardless of whoever is waiting
Thanks again for friend s recommendation about this Greek restaurant! Yummy! All of us enjoyed the meal! First Try, will come next time! Thanks for the sweet service consultant lady tonight! She is very warm-hearted and patient!
Excellent
A pleasant place with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The food is comforting and delicious. There is a good verity for vegetarians, and there are a couple of choices for kids on the menu. The prices are fair, and the service was great. * Highly recommended! *
I loved that place. Great food, affordable prices. I had eggs Benedict and it was very good. I will return again with my family!
Fantastic restaurant Great food, reasonably priced Always enjoy! Food : 5/5

Service was good.
Love it!
Awesome breakfast
I phoned in an order for pick-up, a steak on a kaiser $13.45 and veal on a kaiser $11.15. Dining at home within 30 minutes. The steak was cooked perfectly with fresh mushrooms and onions. The veal was delicious as well. Everyone was very pleasant!
Toronto needs you Sammy
Great old school family restaurant! Good food as always. Food
As usual, Sammys rarely disappoints. Just good old home style cooking/comfort food. I veered away from my usual pork souvlaki on pita and opted for the classic omelet. It was huge! I couldnt finish it along with the home fries and toast. (Note: ask for your toast lightly toasted. Mine was a bit burnt but thats not a major error).
It what 8$ for me to get 2 eggs and bacon and is what the best bacon and egg I have had
Indulge in an unforgettable dining experience where impeccable customer service and a gracious server elevate your meal. Prepare to be delighted by a bountiful and delectable breakfast that effortlessly hits the trifecta of taste, value, and satisfaction. Each mouthwatering bite reveals perfectly cooked and exquisitely seasoned potatoes, while the ham, bacon, and sausage tantalize your taste buds with their irresistible scrumptiousness, leaving you craving for more. Without a doubt, this hidden gem is an absolute must-visit, promising an exceptional culinary journey that will leave you yearning for a return.
Great burger, bang for my buck
This place has really changed the food is definitely not as good as it use to be and the prices have skyrocketed. Maybe they still have a good breakfast but I wont be back to try it.. the beef gravy is grey. Burger was a freezer burnt patty Clubhouse sandwich was meh... Fries were okay the oil was fresh
Best potatoes, for real
It is a nice restaurant. The food specials are excellent. Had fun..good service I am not so sure if I was served decaf coffee which I asked for because it was not served from an orange topped carafe. The server assured me it was decaf
Really good food. Friendly staff and great service.
Really good place for food. Reasonably priced, and the staff is always friendly. I asked for a burger inside of a grilled cheese sandwich, and they delivered a supremely tasty burger. 10/10, I strongly recommend this spot
Not bad. Friendly staff, foods ok. Nothing special but definitely not horrible. Kind of reminded me of the food you used yo fet at Zellers cafeterias back in the day
The food is ok. The only issue I have is the Potatoes that is made with the Pork chop . It tastes almost Raw to hard at times.. Only Order on Wednesday And Friday. It just Needs to be Better. Not Enough Salad Dressing for Salad.
Really cute little restaurant. Great staff, they are very kind.
Prompt service fair price and good food
I had the all day breakfast menu and it was really good! The portions were plentiful and the service was great. Definitely coming back in the future
Great food. Good prices and great customer service. Welcoming atmosphere
Clean, spacious homey restaurant, friendly staff. Enjoying this vegetarian omelette now.
Was in Scarborough for the day and stopped at Sammys for lunch. Food and service was great. Cost was very reasonable and portions we great.
Very friendly with great staff. The food was very good, and the portion sizes were also very good. Will definitely go back.
Server messed up my order twice....messed up the order on the table next to me. Home fries were not the best. Food is nothing special. Prices are ok Will not recommend or go back.. Food
Great long time neighbourhood restaurant. Greek - Canadian food with all day breakfast. Reasonable prices, decent food. Wheelchair accessibility: Restaurant is accessible, accessible spots in parking lot.
Great place for great family get togethers & awesome breakfasts. Have gone to this place often & even when prior owners were there when it was called the Suburban Restaurant.
They have a wonderful menu! Everything from steak and fish to chicken salad and chicken breast. The servers are wonderfully kind and happy to make adjustments. I look forward to dinner at Sammys whenever Im in Toronto.
Homey, friendly atmosphere
Great little place. Busy but attentive staff. So many menu choices. Prices good, portions plentiful.
My favourite place to go to
Family event. Great time. We will be back.
First time visiting and wont be the last. Great breakfast...peameal bacon and eggs.
My family friends and I meet here about 3 or 4 times a year and take the table in the back. The food never disappoints, and the coffee is awesome. The staff has always been pleasant and has never rushed us with our visit and meal. Definitely should be on everyones list! Food
They have real good breakfast
Been going there for a long time for breakfast. Food is good . O Food : 4/5
Your classic family diner, staff are friendly and service is quick! We stopped in for breakfast and it was good, hollandaise was a bit thin.
I had an amazing experience eating here, the staff was amazingly friendly and attentive, service was perfect and the food was on point. I found my go to place when I am in the area! The waitresses definitely went above and beyond for myself and two kids today! I highly recommend coming here. Kid-friendliness: Staff is great with kids and very accommodating. 5 star
Amazing dinner. Really great food at cheap prices. They would get 5 stars accepts the man s washroom reeks of urine
Christmassy vibe with music. Server was very friendly, and the meals where delicious. All day breakfast! We will be back! Food
