What Bill Fisher doesn't like about Sam's Log Cabin:
Good food but not great service. They make you get up a go to a station across the restaurant to get water, hot sauce and coffee refills. Then the bill comes and the automatic tipping options start at 20%. If I have to get up from my table to put my meal together, that isn’t full service and isn’t worth 20%. View all feedback.
We had a nice breakfast here! The servers were very friendly, the decor was nice (and fun!) and inviting the atmosphere. The raspberry almond pancakes that made them a smiling face for the child were delicious and 2 was much more than the child could eat! The hot chocolate was stacked with whipped cream. We had cookies and Gravy with scrambled eggs that were tasty and filled. Also the daily special storm was good. The mochas were served in glass cups. We appreciate the outdoor heating in the early morning.
The restaurant has a modest exterior which gives no hint of the lovely back garden dining area. There are quirky hints out front of the creativity at work. The food was outstanding at breakfast, including wonderfully-prepared dishes (we enjoyed the chilaquiles, farm roasties, special omelette, and the orange zest and poppyseed pancakes). The biscuits and cornbread were superb, and the coffee strong and delicious. Our server was charming and attentive. Bravo!
Breakfast was delicious and the service was amazing. There was a bit of a wait but it was worth it. We tried the raspberry and almond pancakes, corned beef hash, huevos rancheros, Mac n cheese, and the corn chowder. Everything was tasty from start to finish. The portion sizes are quite large. Also if you love fresh orange juice, you have to get a glass. Would absolutely eat here again.
Had brunch meeting here in the back patio for the first time. Totally blown away by this oasis in Albany! What an excellent restaurant to dine and meet. Surely come again.
We enjoyed sitting on the back patio. The staff is very attentive and the food was delicious. We look forward to dining there again.
