    Owner makes you feel like a regular and a welcome guest. This is rare service.

    Gave us free grilled spicy pepper and onions to try!

    Be patient, food is made with care.
    Our arrived in 20 minutes

    Crispy bread
    Flavorful tender beef

    Everything was well seasoned and delicious.

    Support local businesses and excellent service!

    The owner was very friendly, even coming to the door to greet our party as we came in. He recommended the most popular dishes to us and checked up on us while we were eating.

    However, while taking our order (and other customers' orders), the person helping us kept switching his attention between watching the TV and taking our order. He did not make the customer feel like they were the #1 priority.

    The food did not meet the high expectations we held coming in, despite the high reviews of other customers. The sandwiches were subpar, with some soggy bread and the food not being super hot.

    Sam's is a top notch burger spot in LB.

    I was satisfied with my mean and the cost.
    The restore extremly clean and the workers are some of the nicest.
    My only issue was the wait time. It took about 15 mins for me to get my food after I ordered

    Lessened learned the food is great I will return but will call ahead even if eating there.

    One of the better sandwich shops in my area.
    Only complaint was a long wait time when I was the only order. The beef dip combo was good but with name like world famous it set my hopes high. The sauce it came with added flavor to an otherwise kinda bland sandwich but it was still decent.
    Edit: been here a few times.
    Tried the steak sandwich, beef dip, pastrami, and now the chicken sandwich on the menu.
    Was already a 4 star location but after repeated business they have earned a perfect 5 star rating.
    Customer service is good.
    The gentleman working usually who I assume is the owner is nice and welcoming.
    Great spot to eat before or after I do the hot stone yoga in the same lot as this food spot.
    Also side note as 5/23/19 there is a help wanted sign for anyone looking for a job.
    Seems like a good environment for any locals needing work also

    Pretty straight forward, great attention to detail. The chef came out of the kitchen to confirm that our order met our expectations, which it did. The food was delicious. The restroom was clean and eating area was clean. We had the pastrami, chili fries and added onion with jalapenos.
