What our towns say.

This place is an SF staple. I came with a group and we were set up on the covered outdoor patio, which had its own bar—perfect for a group. We had our own space, didn’t have to wait on drinks, and could be as loud as we wanted. It was cool outside but surprisingly warm under the covered patio. The service really stood out. Our host and server were warm, attentive, and super accommodating. I had the sniffles and our host made me the coziest whiskey sour—honestly appreciated that more than anything. Our server handled our group effortlessly and didn’t miss a beat. We had a limited menu. I ordered some fried bites (maybe mushrooms?), the petrale sole, and tiramisu. The tiramisu was light, airy, and moist—really nice texture and flavor. The rest of the food was just okay and could’ve used a bit more seasoning. Overall, great vibe and standout service. I’d come back and try the lunch menu.

Title: Famous Historic Spot with Cute Vibes 🍽️✨ This is a legendary, top-ranked restaurant with a very cute and cozy interior. The food is exceptionally fresh and the flavors are alright/decent. It is definitely worth a visit for the historic atmosphere and the lovely decor!

A Timeless Experience at Sam’s Grill ​My wife and I recently visited Sam’s Grill in San Francisco for lunch, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. ​The highlight of our afternoon was undoubtedly our waiter, Stefan. It is clear he is a true class act who has mastered his craft over several decades. Stefan defines what professional service looks like; his attention to detail, polished demeanor, and genuine care for his guests made our lunch feel special at every single turn. ​If you are looking for a quintessential San Francisco dining experience where the service is as impeccable as the meal, I cannot recommend Sam's Grill—and specifically a table in Stefan's section—highly enough

We had dinner at Sam’s Grill and were seated in one of the private cabins. Unfortunately, the cabin was very dusty, you could literally see the dust built up on the walls, and we were sneezing the entire time we were there. The food was plain, with no flavor or spices. On the bright side, the service was great. Sadly, the experience overall didn’t live up to expectations.

Our absolute favorite in SF FiDi. This is an iconic SF institution and an absolute gem with exceptional (sea)food, classic drinks and attentive, classic, warm service. Shoutout to Michael! We‘ll keep coming back for Friday‘s after work…

Sebastian Kluger

My first time trying this food on my way through Swift Current. The handsome funny guy was very knowledgeable on the quality of the food. He promised me a delicious meal and he delivered. Pulled pork poutine with a burger and mango milkshake. I highly recommend it.

Robert Cochrane

Great burger with homecut fries at a very reasonable price. Their regular burger comes with 2 patties, if you order the regular combo I believe it was $16. You get your 2 patty burger, homecut fries and drink, I also added gravy to my order. The burger was brought out hot and juicy, fries were also hot and crispy. Was very impressed with the quality of food. If you're in the area definitely worth checking out.

Bruce Upton

Great poutine! Love the curd cheese. Handsome funny guy gave the best costumer service.

Alexandra Lamoureux

First time coming here just passing through town from Alberta! Had a great experience. Our server was fun... food was so good! Come see Handsome Funny guy, he will hook you up!

Kaylene Graham

First time coming by with the family. “Funny, handsome guy” was running the whole show on his own on a Good Friday where a lot of places were closed. Service was great, food was great. Milkshakes were outstanding. Much better alternative to the fast food staples in town.

Marc Ruel

Incredibly delicious, simple and satisfying, what more could you ask for. Burger and poutine, i will absolutely be going back for their food. The only thing wrong is very limited seating, if your wanting to sit and dine...but well worth trying if you haven't already

Michael Doherty

The food is good, it has greasy spoon/chip shack style offerings but it's pretty much take out only. Service was friendly.

Samantha Thibert

I tried the butter chicken poutine, and it tastes amazing! The fries and the cheese are also outstanding compared to other poutines I’ve tried. I’m excited to try other menu items soon.

Rocky Lessard

Just had a quick stop at Sam's Grill. I had the crispy chicken and fires. The service from Darshil was great. Very friendly. Definitely recommend anyone in the Iroquois Falls area to check out the spot.

caprice turner

The employees are very friendly and eager to please. Their food is something worth trying, made fresh everyday it's great to have. The wait time can be a little long from time to time, but trust it is because your meal is made fresh. I highly recommend Sam's Grill!

Michelle Perreault

I had the pleasure of dining at Sam’s grill on grand opening day and I was completely blown away. The service was impeccable ; our server Hinal & Umang was knowledgeable about the menu and ensured we were well taken care of without being overbearing and The food is where this place truly shines. Every dish we ordered was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented and I highly recommend to visit this place.

Good food and service. Best burger and milkshake I had in a long time from a restaurant in Hearst. I will be going back a lot 😊❤️

Vicky Vachon

Sysco food cooked randomly and slowly in a hot little restaurant without AC but with plenty of flies already... Bun not toasted, one patty medium rare, one paddy well done.. upcharges on the 'signature' for cheese and bacon.... There's a delivery of potatoes sitting in the heat in the middle if the floor where the public can touch them... I had to take my drink out if a cooler of cold water... who else has had their hands in that water? Low effort restaurant... all image and no substance... I will give them a month to srt themselves out and then try again... Given the disappointed looks from the rest of the people here, the 5 star reviews are likely bought... if you want them to seem more authentic, don't include pictures from a month ago of a restaurants food that opened a few days ago... come on... at least try...

Canadiana North

My first impression could have been better. I wanted a chicken burger and a mango smoothie which neither were available. The fact that the bevrages are in ices coolers on the floor didnt quite impress me either. I hope there will be room for improvement as the food looked delicious.

Josee Tourville

Great restaurant staff always smiling and a special thank you to Hinal for the great service

Nathalie Therrien Gagnon

James and Shruti are amazing employees the best thing about a business is the people working with customers and providing absolutely ample value to what they provide. The Donair!! FIVE STARS. The atmosphere FIVE STARS! I am a new visitor and will continue to support and share my experiences with Sam’s Grill. Greatly appreciated and by far the BEST DONAIR IN KWC area. No competition at all.

Christopher MacLean

Well today, my wife and I decide to give Sam Grill a try for the very first time. As we saw the place as we were driving thru Waterloo as we were originally heading to Burger King, but I can tell you , I am so happy we stop at Sam Grill in Waterloo. Customer service was amazing and the restaurant was in amazing shape and very clean and very nice. We were greeted by a nice gentleman as we entered the restaurant and he served us the whole way thru and brought our food to our table. My wife ordered a Hot Dog with Bacon, cheese and mustard and relish and fries and pop. I ordered a burger with bacon and mustard and onion and with fries and pop, we also ordered an order of battered mushrooms. All the food was fresh and hot and very tasty. We will definitely be a repeat customer for Sam’s Grill Waterloo.

Kw Nightwalker

we dined here recently. this is a must try place. juti the owner told me that everything is made fresh on site and you defo can tell. the cheese burgers rank very highly compared to other local faves. we also had the spicy and butter chicken poutine. wow!! the butter chicken is hands down the best in the city.

Dave Marsillo

Sam's Grill in Waterloo recently opened up and the food is great. Hamburgers are homemade and fresh,many types of poutine to try. Prices are reasonable. It only takes 5 minutes to prepare and you can dine in, take out or delivery. The place is bright and has 2 televisions.

Ann Josling

I went to the Guelph location a few years ago, and it was definitely NOT memorable. So I was a little hesitant when my husband suggested trying this place yesterday. However, I'm glad we went. Super friendly staff, and a very clean, welcoming environment. The menu boasted a Donair, and I was sold. It was delicious, as well as the onion rings, and poutine.😅 We were too hungry when we got home that I forgot to take food pics.🤷‍♀️ We will be back again though.

As everyone else on these reviews say, its fresh and its clean! Gravy is made in store, No powdered garbage here my friends! The patties and fries are made per order, nothing blanched, no added spices. Just pure clean Beef, the trueway to enjoy a burger. Salt and pepper are available at the front counter. The prices are good for Ontario, our food prices may be gone to heck right now but they serve a nice juicy burger and poutine for under $20. Me and my family went very close to closing time but the Owner seemed very enthusiastic about serving us nonetheless, you don't get that in most places! If you want a good, clean burger, this is the place, if you want a charred greasy breadcum and spice stuffed burger, Try somewhere rated less than Sam's Grill. Lol

We stopped in for our first visit and I have to admit... We are disappointed we hadn't been here sooner. My chicken burger and fries were possibly the best I have ever had. Full of flavor and juicy for every bite. Fries were crispy and I was happy to find malt vinegar was offered for them. The burger and poutine combo was incredible also. Possibly the best burger in our area for the simplicity of it's ingredients. Double burger with cheese and bacon... Nothing fancy and it holds its own with good, fresh flavors. The poutine was full of cheese and awesome gravy... Great portion size as well. We will eat the donairs later or tomorrow... The meals were super filling. The staff is beyond friendly and are willing to make sure you are fully satisfied with your meal. They really want you to appreciate what you are paying for. We will be back to try more of their items.

Kim Hodge

Phenomenal food, incredibly friendly staff, and unbelievably good value for your dollar. We had delicious poutine and burgers, all gluten-free, hot, and very yummy! Staff made sure we were looked after. The burgers are made with patties made in-store and the butter chicken poutine is out of this world! Hot, tasty and savory. Biting into these burgers is a total 10/10 experience: it's clear the staff works to make the food high quality, and to improve on perfection, even! A new style of cooking the patties has dropped this month, and it is delightful

Ra & Zia Family

10/10 spot you need to come for the food it is SO good!! Driving home from Montreal we decided we needed to stop somewhere to eat. After looking online we stopped here and man are we ever glad we did. This spot is owned by a husband and wife team who work hard to ensure top quality ingredients, including fresh meat, gravy, chili along with all other ingredients. You can feel the passion they have in their restaurant come to life in their food. They are also super friendly, kind, and keep their restaurant very clean and organized. We wanted to try a bit of everything and man was it ever good. We enjoyed it immensely. If you’re looking for a place to eat in Brockville this needs to be your go to. I’m just sad I can’t come here more often but will be stopping here every chance we get when driving through Brockville.

Michelle Nowacki

Just finished lunch here and had to leave a review while still sitting at the table. The ingredients are noticeably fresh, the burger patty had that proper handmade texture you don’t get from frozen pucks. What really stands out is how clean everything is; the dining area, the open kitchen view, even the condiment station is spotless. Ordered the classic cheeseburger and fries, and you can tell they actually care about the food they’re putting out. Nice to have a local spot that prioritizes quality and cleanliness.

Bekir C.

Well well well …. Today’s the Grand Opening of Sam’s Grill Burgers & Poutine in South Porcupine and normally il wait a few weeks before trying anything new out but they nailed it!! Chicken Burgers,Double Bacon Cheeseburger and the classic curd poutine is a 10/10!! 👨‍🍳🍔🍟😍❤️! Amazing Staff and Great Service, thank you Sam's Grill South Porcupine , Food was amazing!!

Renee Beauvais

Just got our first order from them today. I ordered combo #4 (double patty burger and poutine) the burger was amazing and routine had a nice thick gravy and cheese curds. I also seen a promo for vegetarian gravy for those who have a specific diet. My hubby ordered the donair and he said he really enjoyed it. Then we got the milk shakes and enjoyed that too! Great new addition to the north thank you for great and very quick service!

Sabrina Laforest

This place is top tier, it taste like Timmins poutine did 20 years ago! Fries crispy, gravy tasty, cheese is actually good cheese! Service is awesome, the place is clean and slick looking. They got solid prices, and great deals on Uber! Highly recommend!!

S Villeneuve

This location is clean and well taken care of as compared to other fast food restaurants. We ordered the combo 4 and combo 2 for dinner and it was really good. The beef patties were well done and juicy. The chicken patty was also really good and it was a nice big piece of chicken I was full half way through it. Will definitely want to try the other menu options when we are in Timmins next time.

Shelby Anderson

I recently visited Sam’s Grill and had a great experience. The place is clean and welcoming. Their chicken burger was very tasty, crispy, and fresh. I also tried the buffalo chicken poutine, which had crispy fries and delicious gravy. The food was served hot, and the service was quick and friendly. It’s a great place to enjoy burgers and poutine with friends or family.

Khushi Chauhan

Stopped by to try this Burlington restaurant this week after seeing a few social media advertisements. Food was decent, burger itself seemed fresh but overall portion sizes were a bit underwhelming. I had the burger poutine combo surprisingly not that many fries were in the box. The good, restaurant was clean, gentleman behind the counter was nice. The bad, the restaurant really need to have its kitchen exhaust looked at. Not sure but it either needs a good cleaning or it wasn't working. All you could smell when you walk in there is kitchen grease off the grill and deep fryer grease in the air. Based on the color of the fries and the taste, the deep fryer oil is also due to be changed. Atmosphere gets 2 stars because you end up leaving with the grease smells on your clothing after being in there. Restaurant was clean however the air quality wasnt.

Bill M

The hot dog I just ate here was, quite truthfully, the VERY best hot dog I have ever had in my entire life!! Not only was it so tasty I ate it all despite being on meds that suppress my appetite, the service was also quick and the worker at the counter was patient and kind. My only complaint would be that the fries were lacklustre, but in comparison to the hot dog, what wouldn't be?? And I'm sure had I not just eaten one of the top five best meals of my life, the fries would've been delectable!! Sam's Grill, I will be back and I'm so very excited for that day!!

Caden Tinker

Hey guys, so this was my first trip to Sam’s Grill, and I have to say that we were pretty impressed. The restaurant inside was very clean and from what I could tell by looking behind the counter, they were also extremely clean and well kept. Only one girl was working the grill, but it was slow and she was helpful and she made an order fast. We got two pines and burger combo The pins we got were size smalls and they were still massive and my burger combo was decent.. . I still highly recommend I feel like the price point was fair for sure Go check it out if you haven’t already support these guys because I believe they’re worth it 🔥🔥

dabawlmsam LIVE

Pretty good poutine. We had 1 regular and 1 smoked meat poutine. Both very tasty with traditional cheese curds, very important. I would have liked to have seen a little more smoked meat but overall pretty good.

Mark Crowshaw

Wanted to try a new place tonight so we decided to order from Sam's Grill. I am politely giving 4 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐ as my family was happy with the meal. It was a 3 for me at best. Family enjoyed the taters, cheese burger, bacon cheese burger and chicken fingers. Fries looked perfect in the pictures on Skip, however they are not similar. Potato's are not peeled to make these fries- game changer for me! Ordered specifically as the fries and poutine looked amazing... Not great! Hot dog was decent a little dry as cheese and all the toppings were hiding behind the dog!

Katherine Bennett

Came to Cambridge from Windsor to watch my brothers football game and decided to stop by. I got a small pulled pork poutine for around $13. The portions were excellent with plenty of pulled pork and gravy. My only complaint is that the accessibility washroom was a little nasty, but that’s a price I’m willing to pay for such delicious poutine. I’ll be making sure to come back here anytime I’m in Cambridge!

Aidan Bommarito!

So we've been going to this location for quite a while and have always have great service and food, but we went last Tuesday july 14th and we walked in, 1 of the workers was sitting in a booth on her phone, probably on break and we stood there for a good 5 mins before she went and got someone to serve us, the food was ok, not great and the milkshakes were just chocolate milk. After spending $45 on 2 burgers, 1 fry and 2 milkshakes you would hope it tatse great and come with great service but no. Not sure what happened to this location but we wont be back. It was great at one time, they greeted you with smiles and hellos, not anymore.

I would give it better stars, but the ceiling in the dining room area has a lot of dirt in it and it hasn’t been cleaned in 4 years!! Why do customers need to sit underneath the dirty ceiling.

Ash Dol

WELL I CANT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT MR FUNNY HANDSOME GUY ,so friendly and a very happy guy . Great burger I would recommend this place for sure . He makes the best mango shakes. You got to try them

Judy Larson

We ate-in at this location and the restaurant was clean, well decorated, and plenty of seating. The customer service was friendly from the staff the second we walked into the building all the way through to them bringing our tray to our table. The food was tasty, Cooked to perfection, and topped the way we liked it. We had two regular cheeseburger combos and upgraded to the milkshakes! A little pricey for two people, but worth it as a treat!

Lauren Ferraz

I was initially drawn to Sam's Grill by their appealing online presence. However, my dining experience was somewhat underwhelming. While the restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly, the burgers fell short of expectations. The patties were thinner than anticipated and a bit dry. The abundant processed cheese and well-placed onions were a positive, but the iceberg lettuce would have been a better choice. The additional toppings were limited in selection and average in quality. The fries were also average. While Sam's Grill offers a better burger experience than fast-food chains, it doesn't quite match the quality of higher-end burger joints like Five Guys or Burgers Priest.

Hamont Reviewer

Sam’a Grill Burgers and Poutine in Oakville is one of those spots that leaves you with mixed feelings. On the one hand, if you’re looking for top-quality burgers and poutines, it may not be the best place in town to satisfy that craving. The overall taste and quality of the menu could definitely be improved, especially if you’re comparing it with other burger joints in the area. That being said, the experience wasn’t entirely disappointing, as there are still some positives that stand out. The staff at Sam’a Grill were very pleasant and welcoming. From the moment I walked in, the employee made sure I felt taken care of, which really adds to the overall dining experience. It’s always nice when the people behind the counter are polite and attentive, and that definitely made my visit more enjoyable. In terms of the food, while the poutine didn’t quite meet my expectations, I have to admit their Nashville Hot Chicken Burger was a highlight. It had the right balance of spice, crunch, and flavor that made it stand out from the rest of the menu. For that burger alone, I could see myself giving them another try in the future.

Sahil Nain

Food - 2/5 Service - 4/5 Ambiance - 2/5 Price - Inexpensive Ordered Nashville Hot Chicken Burger, Chicken Wings and Poutine. All of them were very tangy and didn't taste well, the sauce was not good, and also the chicken felt stale. It was not worth it, probably not going back there again.

Burhanuddin Lokhandwala

Ordered a veggie burger and veggie supreme poutine to go. The service time was reasonable and the coupon I had for the veggie burger was honoured. Got the order home and the food was very good. Would visit this location in Oakville again!

Dale Sellers

Tried their pulled pork sandwich/burger many days ago and while it was good, I've had a few better ones. Maybe it's just not good when delivered , as the sauce inside makes the burger become soggy, so will give it a try again in store if I can.

Raghu Rajendran

Ordered off Uber and my order was missing the fries and portions were small, I gave them a call to advise and they made it right, and personally delivered what was missing and then some. A business that works with customers to fix an issue is great in my books. Thank you guys, food was very very good so I will order again!

Kat Holliday

Good staff and tasty burgers ,staff was patient while I chose my order, which I appreciated. But it was insanely hot inside; the AC clearly isn’t working, staff are sweating by the grills, and I couldn’t even sit and eat. I had to go back to my car. Owners need to fix that instead of just printing bills.And for a fact iknow it’s been like this for a long time.

h vardhan

Forgot to take pictures. Very good experience. The regular burger was a perfect size for us. Even though its 2 patties, its not over filling. We liked the burger better than the chicken burger. Fries were very good as well. We liked how everything was customizable. No set toppings youre stuck with or have to aks not to include or pick off. Our order came out very quickly.

Mark D

19.50$ for a snack and a can of pop? Crazy. Straight up ripoff. Figured a regular poutine was comparable to a regular size literally anywhere else. Menu photos look much larger than the provided cat bowl. Price to portion size is a joke. Really light on the cheese and gravy, the last 1/3 was just dry fries. Picture scale - I wear a medium glove. lol.

David Ebel

Whether delivery or dine in, I've always enjoyed the food here. Their burgers are my favourite, and the poutine is delicious. They have really nice milkshakes as well. They bring all the boys to the yard. Looking forward to trying the donair next visit! Thanks.

Matt

Great service and the most delicious donair and mango shake I have experienced 😋 👍👍👍very fresh ingredients and great value for the money😊👍👍.

David Williams

Sam's Grill is a family favorite! We have tried nearly all menu items. Full flavor, full portions, decent price and deals for families. The fries are delicious, and always hot. They make delicious poutine ** Newfie poutine is just like down home.The donair is also a must try! The staff are very kind, and work hard. Much respect.

Joanne Fredericks

It was fine. Poutine was to go- gravy was poured on fries- was like a soup when I got home. Had lunch @ Queens day before and felt like Queens was better value and quality.

Chrissy Paton

Great little place on the main road. Clean and bright when we walked in. The employees were friendly. They claimed to have Vegan food on their front doors but when asked it is only a burger, the veggie poutine has diary. They seemed a bit confused between vegetarian and vegan which concerned us a bit. We took a chance on the veggie burger. It was good. The fries were good. Maybe needed a bit more salt but it was a good lunch! I would go back.

Angie L

Quite possibly the best burger and fry place I've been to. I ordered for an overtime window at work and was incredibly happy with the food. I had the hot and spicy Poutine and it was out of this world. If you're looking for good burgers and fries, Sam's is the place!!!!

Jeff Gruntz

Burgers are GREAT!!!!! So happy they have a gluten free bun option. Though not impressed the last time I ordered the bottom of the bun was so hard, I could have used it to hammer nails. Was inedible! If you go in and get EJ he is Great! He is friendly and makes a great burger! Anyone else gives attitude and is rude, and will give you stale food. Wont order unless EJ is working.

H D

Don't order online or check it before you leave. Didn't have cheese selected, can't eat cheese, paid 80$ for the order including tip. Tossed the cheese covered burger in the garbage and had cold fries for dinner

Simon Stokes

20 dollar chicken burger that's paper thin terrible customer service rude front desk asked how much for a milkshake and told me about seven dollars had to explain I needed a total with the chicken burger included and server was acting like I was making him do extra work then it took roughly 45 minutes to produce the order at which time my milkshake had completely melted I'll definitely never eat here again

ryan fowler

I think that sams grills food is good but my favorite part is always the service! The staff is always polite and punctual, especially E.J. They are always sweet and they dont fool around and waste time which is a big pet peeve of mine. Would recommend!

Addison Sampson

I had a veggie burger and it was so delicious…best burger I’ve ever had… This is definitely going to be my go to place from now.
