Lunch At Sam's

"The best hamburger I've had in ages, and nice big french fries! The meat and the large bun was actually the same size unbelievable! When I first went in I thought it was just a small burger place, but they have all kinds of food on their menu loved it will definitely go back again."

"The other day I was at the bank and was hungry and wanted to get lunch so I looked at the Googles to see what was close. I spotted Lunch at Sam's. I thought of my brother, J. - Man, I haven't eaten there in forever. J really loves their burger. I should go have lunch there. Because I'm a stupid man it took me a minute to realize that I should call my brother and ask him to join me. Not because I needed help eating a burger, but because sharing a meal with someone is bonding and intimate and can allow for connection. He was busy. But we agreed to do it this week. Hello this week! I messaged J and we met at Lunch at Sam's on North Gessner. He stepped out of his Lexus looking like a Russian Gangster - velour tracksuit stretched over his belly and tennis shoes so white they hurt your eyes if you looked at them directly. I love my brother. I didn't take a picture of him cuz you could tell he DEFINITELY works from home on Fridays and wasn't looking his most telegenic. Although he works in IT, he is the least online person I know. I coulda prolly posted a pic and he'd never see it. But it's also why I can express how much I love him without embarrassment. (None of y'all tell him). I told ya - siblings beez weird like dat sometimes. Enough of the Family Matters (did I do that?!) We entered the restaurant and stepped back into 1954. The Americana just punches you right in the mouf! And a lot of it is tagged for sale so you can buy you a painting of a sunset or a stuffed goose or deer antlers or whatnot while you eat your burger. I ordered me a Mushroom Bacon Burger and had them add onions and jalapenos. Got a side of fried okra. Went over to the fixins bar and got some raw onion, tomaters and some "secret sauce". Some kinda mayo/ketchup/mystery spice/thousand island thingy. It's good. Me and the brother did some catching up and reminiscing and all in all had a very nice lunch. I gangster-strolled him back to his vehicle and we hugged and agreed to do lunch again soon. I'll be honest, y'all. The burger was just pretty good, but lunch today was one of the greatest meals I've had in a long while. Meals aren't always about the food. (Seriously, nobody tell him about this.)"

"Enjoyed the burger. Good first experience."

"Darn good grub here. Made fresh and served hot. There’s a great add-on buffet for your toppings. I love that. They have this “Special Sauce” that you can get at the buffet. GET IT! I got the bacon cheese burger with grilled onions. They don’t skimp on the onions or jalapeños so get those extras. Fresh lemonade as well. Great place. Can’t wait to go back."

"Very good place for a burger. I will have to go back and try their other items. Owner was extremely conscious of my experience which was awesome. Old style restaurant with lots of local history. It was a little pricey, but then again I haven't had a good burger like this for a while so you get what you pay for. Definitely recommend. Angus burger: 5 star Cajun Special: Grilled Blackened fish w/ shrimp: 4.5 star Beef tacos: 4.5 star Salad - chicken 4 star Grilled blackened fish: 3.9 star Steak Finger Sandwich: 2 star Drink selection: ok/good (ok, good, great)"
