Sammy's

Sammy's is a little burger and milkshake place at 27 North and 100 West in Provo. They have a few places that you can check them out online the first is on Facebook, another is on Blogspot, and the last one is on Twitter.

When i went there, i was not expecting much of anything. I was so surprised. It is just a little shack in downtown Provo, but when you go inside you feel somewhere else. As you walk in there are bar stools that are right up against the counter where they have the condiments for your burger. I think it gives the feel of a hometown diner, which in a place like this I like.

There is only one down side that i can see. When you order, store policy is that you order at the register which is located at the front right next to the door. I went during the mid-day lull so it wasn't too bad, however if you go during either the lunch rush or dinner rush, it could be problematic.

After you order what you want to eat, you just sit down wherever and wait for the food to be made. When your burger is done, they bring it out on a plate and ask you what you want on it. They do have some variety but not as much as i would like. I got the 'Over the Border Burger' which was amazing. Almost all the condiments were on it including avocado which at some places you have to pay extra for.

Eating the burger is i think the best part of it. :) But what threw me off was how much it filled me up. I went there kinda hungry and i left there stuffed. All i had was a soda and the burger. I was looking for something lite to eat to hold me over till dinner, but what i got was my dinner. That is one surprise i can deal with.

Another plus is that on the wall they have 'Text Sammys to ##### to receive a discount' IN THE STORE! I just got a new Verizon phone and so i texted it. I received a free soda, and free refiles. Needles to say, i was surprised.

Two other things that i liked. I was talking with the employees and they were telling me about some of the free stuff that went on there. I believe either every Friday or Saturday there are free concerts in the parking lot beside sammys. They talked with me and told me about them and invited me to go. I am hoping my schedule will permit me to attend the concerts.

The other thing is the music they had playing. The play list was great. It had a lot of popular songs but also I believe there was nothing that is questionable that was played. The music play list was well done so that everyone could enjoy it. That is a huge plus.

SUMMARY

I highly recommend going to Sammys, not just for the food though. I think that it is a great place to hang out with some friends any time of the day. The food is great, the service is great, and the price is great. I will be attending Sammy's often.

  1. I love Sammy's!! It's fantastic. I go there for their sweet potato fries, which are simply TO DIE FOR. Try them with fry sauce AND caramel! (They taste like french toast with caramel!)
