| - When I was a kid, I remember the special occasions when my mom would take us shopping. Whether it be to Woolco (yes, I am that old), KMart (again, see last comment), Sears or Zellers, our trip out usually included lunch. When we would go out to lunch, quite often it was to the store cafeteria, or to a local diner. I would usually get a clubhouse sandwich with fries and gravy, or chicken fingers. With Sammy's, I have finally found a restaurant that speaks to the call back of my child hood.
Located east of Leaside, south of Overlea, north of Danforth and west of Woodbine, Sammy's Eatery is not only a throwback of my childhood, but also a real comfort spot. The environment in Sammy's is clean, cozy, and yet open. They will even host special events. Think of Sammy's as your aunt's house - she has all your favourites and hosts all the holiday dinners and family showers.
I have eaten at Sammy's once, and had orderit.ca delivery tonight. When I went to Sammy's it was for breakfast. Really enjoyed it. If you like diner style breakfast, this is the spot to check out. The crowd is mostly families, and you can tell that some of them are generational. There is a real sense of familiarity and home about this place. For breakfast I had pancakes, and they were great! Service was attentive and quick and the prices are very reasonable.
Through orderit.ca I was watching Mad Men and had a huge craving for a clubhouse sandwich. Boy, did Sammy's deliver (pun INTENDED). No half-ass cold cuts here. REAL turkey. With Christmas only being a little over a week away, it was like my holiday introduction! While placing my order, I had to go full reminiscent and have gravy and fries with my sandwich. Huge portions, very filling, very hearty and good. Just like you would expect from your aunt's house.
I think this will be my new brunch spot. Easy to get to, street parking, and not insanely busy.
Perhaps I should set up a UYE....
