My food is delicious. Started with a cup of clam chowder, house made. It really hit with the white pepper added. Monte Christo, my vote best in the state. Doubled with the house made jam made by the owner, a perfect blend of(you’ll just have to find out for yourself) made to perfection. Have not ate here in over decade but this place is good again. Better than good.

Wonderful place to get a simple breakfast or lunch. Staff was friendly and we where seated fast. The food was comforting and delicious. The strawberry rhubarb jam was especially yummy, and upon asking about it we learned it's made in house. Definatly worth comming back to try more of the menu.

We had a very hardy breakfast at Sami's City Diner. I had the traditional breakfast. Wife built her own omelet and our son had a gigantic breakfast burrito. The food was great and the service was outstanding. We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast and it was our first time having reindeer sausage. It was very good as well. They give you plenty to est and the service is very good.

This was so good I can't stop thinking about it a few days later! Everything was made to order, fresh ingredients and the service was great too. I love the pitcher option so we never ran out of drinks.

Basically what you would expect for a diner. Nice style clean quintessential diner feel. All day breakfast served until 10 at night and they have shakes and adult beverages as well. Our breakfast burrito was great, on par with many breakfast burritos I've had at Mexican restaurants. I was happily surprised. The sauce was ok and they had Tabasco and other hot sauces at the table. The burger was solid. Better than some of the other places I've tried in Anchorage already. I would get it again. My only gripe is that it is a little pricey especially the malts I found to be a little too expensive but it was certainly good. I would have preferred more shake and less whipped cream but hey. I would leave a 4 star but they were fast efficient and clean and food was cooked great so only issue is with price. Maybe they could consider a happy hour for the Malts and shakes.
