| - If you're famous, why is there never anyone in your restaurant? Seriously, I live right around the corner, and I've never seen more than one customer in there at a time, and it's completely empty about 3/4 of the time I walk or drive by. As one other reviewer rightly pointed out, Sammy's seems to be famous for claiming to be famous.
(Note: this is for a visit about ten months earlier - could've sworn I'd already written one.) I'd been walking/driving past Sammy's for several months after moving into the neighborhood when I decided to finally hoof it over and try one of their "famous" corned beef sandwiches. The sandwich itself was, well, mediocre at best. There was a decent amount of meat, but it was pretty average. The other ingredients were also...average - certainly nothing that would generate "fame" because of its flavor.
Service was the usual gruff, put-upon treatment I've come to expect from small businesses in da 'Burgh. Prices were okay, but no great bargain. I haven't been back.
Three stars for the sammich, 1.5 for the rest.
