★★★★★ 5.0 Mike Ball · Nov 2025

A hidden gem. Maybe 25 tables available for seating. Breakfast served all day. We ordered the two top specials for the day and a coffee, after taxes was $28.59. Food was fine, eggs were rich farm flavors. No complaints.

★★★★★ 5.0 Misty Spitler Jenkins · Oct 2025

We stopped in at Sam’s Kitchen after visiting UVA, and it was such a pleasant surprise! The place has that classic, welcoming diner vibe that makes you feel right at home. We both ordered grilled cheese and fries with brown gravy on the side, and everything was cooked to perfection and crispy fries, gooey cheese, with deliciously rich gravy. The service was friendly and attentive, and the cozy atmosphere made it the perfect spot to relax after a long day. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in Charlottesville with great comfort food and a warm, local feel!

★★★★★ 5.0 Katherin Ochoa · May 2025

Such a cozy, welcoming spot with great service! My husband and I were just passing through town and stopped in for breakfast, what a pleasant surprise. We had an amazing meal! The bacon strips were the best we’ve ever had, the pancakes and waffle were delicious, and the chicken fajita eggs were absolutely amazing. It took a little time for the food to arrive, but it was well worth the wait. Plus, the prices are very reasonable. A great find!

Hidden gem! I almost don't want the world to know about this place, but they deserve a review and all 5 stars cause this place is awesome and my 5 year old's absolute favorite place to eat at! Fresh food, home made and really great prices! Vintage atmosphere:) we love it and would highly recommend!

Visited this spot for breakfast, I wouldn’t go back. While it is a family run business which shows from the “mama” being yelled out by the staff members. The food was subpar, the potatoes tasted like the oil they were cooked in. The waffle wasn’t bad, but not anything that you can’t get somewhere else. The decor and vibe reminds me of a flee market. It’s definitely a hidden hole in the wall spot that doesn’t seem to be too busy.
