What Vishal Parmar likes about Sam's:
Anthony Bourdain of Travel Channel's No Reservations, The Layover (San Francisco) and now CNN's Parts Unknown is correct! Best fucking burger! The burger, fries and selections of alcoholic and non alcoholic in a nice old school setting is great. I ordered the Anthony Bourdain Special of Double Cheeseburger, Freshly cut french fries and a beer. FYI be sure to bring cash. ATMs from Wells Fargo, Chase along with smaller... View all feedback. What Edison Huang doesn't like about Sam's:
Sam’s been around longer than I’ve been around… tried it for the first time this year and yeah it was good. It’s not the best of the best but it was an enjoyable experience. Expect no privacy here as it’s a very small setup. They have bar seats and tables, but it’s all squished in this small establishment. I believe it adds to the overall experience. Also, Anthony Bourdain loves this spot if y’all about that. View all feedback.

If you like the idea of a unique, divey burger place with good but not great food and good prices, do it.

What more do you need? Small menu. Good food. Some bar seating and a couple small tables. The dude on the grill was cool and there was some good music.

Sam's Burger Joint is a small, old-school establishment that has been around for over 50 years and has gained quite a following, even catching the attention of Anthony Bourdain. The burgers are described as clean, fresh, and delicious, leaving customers feeling satisfied without guilt. The owner, who runs the place single-handedly, serves up quick, friendly service even in the face of demanding customers. The atmosphere is described as charming and reminiscent of old New York City joints. While some have had less-than-stellar experiences with the food, the overall consensus is that Sam's Burger Joint is a must-visit spot for a simple, satisfying burger in a unique setting.

Late Night Munchie Goodness. A small quick eat restaurant that feels like it has a lot of history.
