Sammy's Sandwich Shop

"I was not greeted when i walking in. They did not have in hair nets. They had no visible hand sanitizer. No one had on a mask. They had the ice bin open the whole time. Mrs.Sue was trying to remember who came in first but she was skipping over people then when you corrected her she was upset.They were yelling all over the restaurant. It’s only one person cooking. Two people working. When I did get my food some of it was cold. The tea was extremely sweet. The service and atmosphere was chaotic and unsatisfying. It will be a cold day in the Bahamas before I go back!"

"Sammy’s is a True Old School Burger Joint! Sidney Bajjalieh and his mom and dad own and run this joint. His mom and dad are still at the flattop griddle flipping high quality hamburger meat with a line out of the door sometimes. When you approach the building and walk in it’s like watching an episode of That 70’s Show or any thing circa 1965 to 1985. It’s an incredible Birmingham MUST SEE & EXPERIENCE! Family Owned and Operated since the mid to late 1960’s. The BEST BURGER IN TOWN!!!"

"I was on my way to airport and stopped at this gem. The sweet older couple working behind the counter welcomed me in and had me sit at the main counter. The menu is limited, but I had no issue. The burger was incredible, and the other menu items looked great going to other tables. Ill be sure to return when I'm back!"

"Let me start by saying it was a little confusing walking in for the first time. I wanted to place a carry out order and wasn’t sure where to do so. Do you go to the register? To the counter where people are eating? Do you take a seat? Not sure which is correct but I took a seat and was warmly greeted within minutes and my order taken. The food was done very quickly and the service was extremely friendly in this (you can tell) family run restaurant. The environment was clean but kind of what you would expect from a kind of “hole in the wall” diner. I would say it’s overpriced for what it is, I only ordered a cheeseburger and an order of fries to go and my total was over $13! That’s steep in my opinion. The cheeseburger was really good, my only complaint was that the bottom bun was really thin and soggy and I ate it immediately upon walking out. The fries were just OK, probably would just order the burger when I go again. At the price point I won’t go a lot, but the burger and the service were both good enough for a return visit! Definitely worth a try."

"Just a really, really good hamburger served by a great family. The Hamburger steak platter (pictured) was lovely. Just lovely. Great food, and conveniently located near BHM."
