| - I've been to this Sammy's location a few times now, and every time it's the same mediocre experience. It takes 10 minutes just to choose something from the monstrous menu, and by the end of the experience, only my hunger is satisfied. I don't know about you, but I usually go to a restaurant for more than just filling my gut. Let me explain.
The Sammy's menu doesn't seem to know what it wants to be. Yes, their main draw is pizza, and they dedicate an entire page to this noble cause. But then you flip the page, and they have a bunch of tapas dishes. Okay... I don't get it, but I'll go along. Then you flip the next page, and there's full-on entree dishes with no clear theme. I know that variety is good, but I also expect some cohesion among your menu items. For me, it just makes the decision process difficult. Nothing stands out among the random dishes.
As for the execution of the food, I've never had a memorable experience here. I was hungry when I came in, and now I'm not. Hunger has been quelled, and that's about it. I've tried the flatbread pizza (bbq chicken, maybe?) and oak roasted chicken with asparagus. I've tried something else, but I don't remember (and I usually remember what I eat).
It's a decent atmosphere for business luncheons, but I wouldn't choose it on my own dime.
