    I saw the billboard and wanted to check it out. Cool place. Reminds me of places like Al's Beef in Chicago. Had a Chicago dog. Counter dude chastised me for not ordering a gyro. Next time. Tasty dog and bun. Fresh veggies and sport peppers. Can't do spicy like I used but the peppers were great. Old school julienne fries. Greasy but delish!

    Good greasy spoon or fast order type food. We got gyro plates and the food was good, order came out fairly quickly, and was accurate. Service is fine for an order at the counter type place and we will back to try more menu items.

    Sammie's is your basic American food quick-stop. If you're looking for low-cal health food, it's not here. Here's where you get your Brats, Burgers, Hot Dogs with all the trimmings. Large portions. Quick service. Reasonable price. It's very busy at lunchtime with locals and repeat customers. For me, the food is just so-so. I love a great cholesterol-soaked Cheeseburger & fries but Sammie's doesn't deliver Great, just good.

    The food was great. It came out quick and hot. I got a cheese burger and it was well seasoned. This was my first time going but it won't be last.

    The sandwich was sloppy and it was upside down.Also not fresh. Made my tummy ache instantly like a laxatives. The Philly cheese is awful.onions tastes like soap. The fries always cold and never crispy.This how the fries came that's 3 dif fry. What happened to Sammies? I remember enjoying the food. Now it has become just like every Round Lake comfort food joint. Just not satisfying 😕

    Delicious Food and very well maintained restaurant. The staff here is phenomenal and was helping me find my lost card even though they never had too. 10/10 Will return again.

    Always Fantastic Chicago Style Hot Dog ! Its been great every time all the time. I've been here many many times over the years and have seen the same people getting their favorite's every time. Always Coming Back. "Always get the sport peppers on your dog here - Home Run !"

    Consistently good food. On par with Portillo's. Don't like their chili in the chili cheese dog. Dreamsicle shake is amazing.

  • 3/5 Kevin L. 7 months ago on Google
    Thought it was going to be better and cheaper was told it was It really wasn't that bad but it was just different The beefs didn't taste like normal beefs but they did throw a lot of gyro meat on there so you might want to ask for an extra pita but it was almost 40 bucks and that was just my mom and dad not even my order yet but yeah so I came to over 50 bucks for two beefs with mozzarella and peppers One of those was a meal and then got a gyro meal and they upgraded it for a $1.75 to shake instead of a regular drink and it came to over $50 which is pretty outrageous I think but hey my dad's diabetic we had to eat something fast and it was done The gyro was good though Great service my beautiful ladies and a variety of different shakes from Cherry,banana , pineapple, etc . Which disappoints me I got a banana and cherry shake It was pretty good and I ended up leaving it outside the car because a handful of napkins flew out of my hand so when I went to grab them cuz I don't like littering some of them were behind the stinkiest garbage can Cuz we were parked a little next to it and ended up seeing a crack pipe on the ground behind the garbage can kind of threw me off a little bit and I guess I forgot my shake on the ground disappointing on both parts but I'm glad some kid didn't find it instead!

    Good fast food made fresh to order. A very clean establishment with a friendly staff. If all Sammie's locations are as good as this one then I'll probably become a regular.

    the french fries are very greasy and watery seem from a day before. bad food

  • 5/5 cleangene17 1 year ago on Google
    We always get the gyros here. It's very good! I especially like their fried mushrooms! Their Italian sub sandwich is pretty big and a good value, although it was pretty soggy the last time I had one. My wife usually get's the polish which she recommends.

  • 1/5 Steven L. 5 months ago on Google
    Says it's Chicago style food, most definitely not but I guess ppl out here don't know any better. Priced to high to hv low quality food

  • 5/5 Jennifer B. 1 year ago on Google
    Best fast(er) food in Lake County. I love their gyro, its my favorite! The fries are done perfectly and are fresh cut, not sitting under some heat lamp. A go-to place for a quick and delicious bite!

    I grew up on the North West side by Portage Pk. and we used to ride our bikes to Sammies little stand to buy "Gravy Bread" for a quarter. It was French bread dipped in the beef juice it was cheap and we loved it. But when your talking HOT DOGS I might be partial but Sammie's WINS HANDS DOWN! Other joints might have hand cut fries but Sammie's adds an extra condiment that as far as I know no one else adds, no it's NOT KETCHUP. Along with the usual mustard, onions, bright green relish, tomatoes, pickle, sport peppers and celery salt on a poppy seed bun Sammie's adds fresh cucumbers and believe me it makes all the difference in the world. Sammie's is no longer in the city and that's fine cause neither am I so they have several locations that I can still enjoy their dogs at. Give one a try, you'll see the difference.

Sammie's has several locations in the northern burbs and I get one of their dogs regularly. Try one and you'll see the difference.

    Food is okay, nothing to write home about. Service is pleasant, lovely people. They can't get everything right on a to go order ever, apparently, so check carefully before you leave!

  • 5/5 Sean H. 9 months ago on Google
    Was really in the mood for an old fashioned hotdog and Sammies didn't disappoint! Took about 7 mins to get my order, fries were real potatoes and not some frozen bag, and the staff was very friendly. The only bad thing I could say is that they aren't open 24/7 so that type of joy could be possible anytime.

    Philly Cheese is what's in the pic, great decision.

  • 1/5 N M. 1 year ago on Google
    Was double charged by the restaurant AND the "BringMeThat" service for my single order. Was told by an employee I would be contacted by a manager, that was 5 days ago. BringMeThat has not responded to a single email in 5 days, their customer service number does not pickup, and voicemail is full. I will be filing a dispute with my credit card company and filing a report with the better business bureau for both establishments. Sammies refuses to rectify issue as well, despite this being on their partner BringMeThat. On top of all that the food was not good at all.

  • 5/5 Kris S. 1 year ago on Google
    Sammies is our go to hot dog stand. Great hot dogs, burgers and gyros. Service is friendly. This over regular fast food 100 times.

  • 5/5 A S. 1 year ago on Google
    These guys are on it. They took down the specifications for my gyro without complaint and my food was perfect. The other locations kinda made me forget what that felt like. Very professional. I actually came by over a week ago and meant to leave a good review. A particularly bad experience somewhere else reminded me how great this was. Favorite location.

  • 5/5 M B. 1 year ago on Google
    I've been visiting this place for over 10 years and it's the best FF place in the area. I'm from Chicago, so I know a good hot dog & fresh cut fries when I taste them.

  • 5/5 Stephanie F. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is decent for the price. Service is quick and the fries are always fresh. I definitely recommend the double Sam burger.

  • 1/5 Dave P. 1 year ago on Google
    I immediately left upon hearing conspiracy theory radio being played through the dining area by the establishment’s management. How about keeping your politics out of my lunch please. I’ll be taking my money somewhere else.

  • 5/5 Julie H. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious rib dinner! Tasty barbecue sauce and cooked just right! Girl at counter was really nice! While I was waiting, I played the slots and won $65.00!!

  • 5/5 Syndee M. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent experience! Friendly staff, clean dining room, delicious fresh- made food. The chicken fajita pita was A-MAZING! Chocolate shake was soooooo good! Yum!!
