Sam's Deli-Diner

MY REVIEW: Love the food..hate the employees attitudes while working the register and complaing about the boss. A reason not to go back.. I would like to enjoy my lunch and not hear complaint and cursing while I am ordering myfood. To the two ladies that love to complain, If you dont like your jib I suggest you find another one.

MY REVIEW: To me, the burgers here are easily the best I have ever had. There is something about them; I think that the owner formulates the meat specially for his operation. Yes, very greasy, but omg is it good!

I usually have a patty melt, because the grilled onions and cheese on rye just add to the flavor. However, I have had several of the other hamburgers, as well as the salads and the Ruben, and all are good. The only point of criticism is that their salads are really nothing special at all. He could do better with those.

The staff is always friendly, they work hard at being helpful and at knowing your name. Not chatty, just friendly.

MY REVIEW: Sam's prices are a great value. My last visit we had cheeseburgers, fries and soft drinks. Our order was ready in five minutes. They were juicy, hot and made just as we ordered. The staff is friendly. Highly recommended.

MY REVIEW: They just introduced a Katy Special, triple meat monster, also expanded for more seating the location at corner of I-10 & Kirkwood (behind the shell station) and have added more menu items. I eat there once a week and sometimes twice. The burgers are still big, meaty & juicy. Of course I get mine with no mustard, extra grilled onions & Swiss & American cheeses.....your results may vary but still one of the best burgers in Houston Texas!

On the comment on S*mashburger, not sure what they were thinking in Town & Country putting it a stone's throw from S*keeter's which has excellent burgers also. I have been to S*mashburger one time, and will definately give them another try, while burger was really good, was overpriced and the fries were in some child's portion thing...I like, well, a order of fries with my burger, not counted out one by one fries. So jury still out of S*mashburger for me, but will give them another try in few weeks after I get over 32 french fries I guess!

MY REVIEW: Gotta say nothing special! The counter staff scoweled at me when I came in, not very friendly... The food seemed all out of the box. Nothing original or homemade. The burger though greasy wasn't too bad, but it was so wet and greasy that the bun fell apart before I was finished. The fries were simply ok.. So the next time I went in, I got a Ruben. Not bad, but no russian dressing on it and again the bread sucked and fell apart before I was finished. So, one more try..breakfast. I got a breakfast taco and "hash browns". The "hash browns" were overly greasy chopped up french fries. It seemed like it was the left overs from the day before and thrown on the grill with some grease. The taco was a overcooked griddle fried egg on a tortilla.

I have to say I am not impressed. I may go back there for a burger, maybe...

MY REVIEW: I'm planning to go again this evening but after my last couple of visits over the summer, I wondered what has happened to my all time fav hamburger place. The usual cook & owner were not there these last few times (I guess getting the other store open). A bunch of young people were running the show.

I ordered my usual guacamole/pepperjack burger basket w/seasoned fries. When it arrived, I thought it looked different & when I bit into it, I knew why. They did not toast the bun on the grill (a must, it makes a difference). Also, they slapped the guac not in the center of burger but off to side & almost all of it was in paper cover, not actually in my burger. Also didn't taste like fries were cooked all the way as had a cold center & even complimentary onion ring was off color not having been cooked all the way.

I was SO disappointed! They were always someone we could count on for good burgers & I had even converted a few friends/co-workers who swore they'd never eat a non-handformed pattie! After my disappointing last few visits, I ended up trying out S*mashburgers @ Town & Country, nearby. OMG...fantastic! Pricier but never a bad meal! Still love Sam's Byron Freeze so will go again in hopes the "guys" are back & taking care of business!

MY REVIEW: My son first found Sam’s while he was cruising around looking for something different from M*ickeyDs or B*K for a quick lunch. He told me Sam’s would be “my kind of place” and he was sure right! I’ve probably eaten there at least 30 or 40 times in the last 3 Months and have tried almost everything on the menu in one form or another. Everything I’ve tried has been excellent! The owner is usually at the grill doing the cooking. He is very particular about how the food is presented. He is also very particular about how his customers are treated. All of the staff is very friendly and accommodating. Once they get to know you, they will treat you like family. Everything has always been clean and fresh. Your order is always cooked to your taste at Sam’s. If you want your burger well done then that is what you get. I like my onion rings cooked a little browner than most so they are crispier. All you have to do is ask. They cook the fries and onion rings fresh for each order so they don’t sit around long. One of my favorite sandwiches is their Ruben. It has plenty of corned beef! The pastrami sandwich is also good. Just a great experience in eating ...and if fried food isn’t your thing, they have cold deli sandwiches and great salads. The Blue Bell Ice Cream shakes are very tasty - don’t leave without having one for your desert.

MY REVIEW: This is to correct the previous review, which says Sam's has Reubens. The review is posted as the Katy Fwy location, which is NOT in Katy, but at the Katy Fwy and Kirkwood, well into Houston. The reviewer must have been at the Pin Oak location which is evidently in the Katy area. [Corrected]

So, today, we were looking forward to the "awesome" Reubens at Sam's on the Katy Fwy. We got there, only to learn they don't make Reubens at that location. So, we left, in search of a Reuben on the westside. Not easy, unless you want the overstuffed Reuben's at J*ason's, which we didn't. Pesonally, I would have loved to stay at Sam's. They have great burgers and probably the best onion rings anywhere. I'll be back later this week, for my much loved Swiss and mushroom burger and their mouthwatering onion rings.

MY REVIEW: Daughter LUVS the original at Katy Fwy & Kirkwood so I tried the new one today on Pin Oak. Ordered the Cheeseburger basket.

One of THE BEST Cheeseburgers, ever! Add your own ketchup at the table. Takes plenty of paper napkins. The seasoned fries were so good I had them bag 'em to go, not to be wasted. Price was very right for the value of food quality.

Gotta go, my seasoned fries are now warmed in the oven.

MY REVIEW: This was pretty good food for a family of four to eat lunch for under $15. Hamburger was a slightly greasy (that's good) and their special seasoned fries were very good. Onion rings were great. As for the service - well it's set up like a fast food place so you'll need to take care of that yourself. Their milkshakes were a little to icy but tasted good. I would give this place an overall 3.5 stars out of 5.0.

MY REVIEW: Strong point-Cheeseburgers and Shakes. My wife and I really enjoyed our hamburgers. The waitstaff/cooks were a jovial group. We will return often. I do wish they would add a Hot Pastrami & Cheese Sandwich to the menu.
