Sam's Cafe

This is a great place to have a tasty & economical breakfast. I’d visit anytime I was in Champaign. Service was quick & efficient. Meals were a perfect portion size & made fresh to order. It was easy to park on the street, we visited on the weekend & didn’t have to feed the meters. Nothing fancy, but perfect for a great breakfast. Cash only, so take note before you visit.

Excellent breakfast spot, the prices are very fair and the food is great! The French toast was the highlight of the visit - the toast is cooked with a batter and dusted sugar. Truly amazing. The biscuits and gravy were good but the hash browns were a bit oily. Everything was great overall. Note that the establishment only accepts cash. Definitely plan to be back!

Great classic American breakfast and extremely affordable! Workers are friendly and eager to serve. Recommend this place.

Walked in, waitress said hello, sat down and waited. Out of 13 tables there were about half of them full. I watched a cute guy come in after us and sat down at the bar. The waitress didn't even look our way, and made her way to the guy who walked in after us, with his drink. (Must be a regular, he didnt even have to order it) I guess you gotta know someone to get good service. Food is good tho. I have been waiting 5 minutes now for a refill, but the cute guy has her attention.and he got his food first too! Oh well. Tips reflect service. They aren't a given. Had to ak a different guy for a refill.

Food was a bit Greasy. They Cash Only. Sign on the Register Not the Door. Had to Venmo lol. Not How It use to be.
