“ This place will always be 5 stars! Very friendly atmosphere and great food! I haven't been here since I was little, of course since my mom was here. Either way, never too late to visit great memories! Thank you Sammy's!! ”
“ I remember when my mom worked here. I'd always see her. She'd get me a shake with my fav wafer, and a hot dog while I'd open pokemon cards. Best days ever. Even though that's the past, I still enjoy the food and the customer service! If you're ever in Milwaukee, please stop here! xoxo ”
“ Awesome Chicago style hot dog, super tasty and good fries too. Their fountain drinks don’t taste nasty and taste fresh. Love this place ”
“ Long time local establishment. Been going here since I was in grade school. Shakes are great. Best hot dog in the area. Owner is a genuine hard working small business guy. Love the feel of the inside. I wish they had a larger eating space with games and pinball like the old days, but I imagine a spot like this is much more cost effective. I no longer live in the area, but I’ll always stop by if I’m in the area! ”
“ So I had not been here in quite a while. I used to live literally a few blocks from Sammy's. After a recent trip to the doctor I was trying to figure out what my daughter wanted for lunch before I took her back to school. I said how about a chili cheese dog? Anyways, we went to Sammy's and ordered two chili cheese dogs and also a cheesy beef. She ate her entire hot dog and then more than half of the cheesy beef as well. She couldn't stop talking about how delicious it was and she wanted to go again the next day. So if my 9-year-old raved about the place that much, they must be doing something right and I have to agree. ”
“ Great reasonably priced burgers. Sammy gives a lot to the community and has had many of his workers with him for a long time. Their Chicago dog nearly brought a friend of mine to tears because it was done correctly. ”
“ Hot dogs, mozzarella sticks, and shakes are great. We've never ordered anything else because we like these so much. Only negative is the location for us. Sure wish they would open a restaurant in Oconomowoc again. ”
“ This is a 5 star for fast food. Service was great, staff was friendly, was nice to converse with the owner, don't get that much anymore. Food was as good as portillos or any place I have been in Chicago. Place was cleaner than your average hot dog stand. ”
