Sammy's Restaurant Review

There's a new restaurant here that John and I just went to and I had to write a review now because it was good for a college town place. It's called Sammy's and I think their motto has to do with "famous pie shakes" or something like that. It started in Provo and now moved up here. Just for that reason, I assume some BYU student started it, but I have no idea. Hope you enjoy the review!

Food Quality 8.5/10
So close to getting a 9, which is near perfect. It went down .5 because the fries were horrid. Here's a run down of what I got.
Fries: I don't know if they wanted them to be bi-polar (if you can describe fries that way) or what, but they had fat slices, skinny fries, and rotten ones. We didn't eat the rotten ones, which still had the skin on them, the fat ones weren't cooked all the way through, and the skinny ones were crunchy. They appeared to have some seasoning salt on them, but looks can be deceiving considering I couldn't taste the paprika, salt, pepper, celery salt, and whatever else is suposta be in seasoning salt. We added a little more salt and drenched them in Cats-up to make them enjoyable.
Burger: I don't remember what the burger was called. I think it was sammy's big butt burger or something. It had meat, some sauce, thin slice of pineapple, provolone cheese, and the rest of the normal toppings on a burger. DELICIOUS! Lot of flavor, the bun was toasted, the meat was cooked to perfection, the veggies looked fresh, and it was just good. Tons of flavor in every bite!
Shakes: This is how they make the shakes: fill the cup half-way with ice cream and then add a real piece of pie and mix it in the shake mixer. We got a raspberry cheesecake and an Oreo cream. Both had the perfect amount of sugar and tasted amazing.

Price 9/10
Great deal especially on Tuesday! Every Tuesday is buy one shake, get the 2nd one FREE! Our burger was $5.50, well worth it, and the shakes plus a side of fires were an additional 5 bucks. Our bill was $11.50 plus tax, but that's not all. Thanks to the buy one, get one free Tuesday, and my amazing coupon text messages, we got a free pie shake and a free fountain drink! Did I tell you John and I usually only order one meal and share it. This place, we left full, but not uncomfortably full, and only took our shakes home as left overs. For everything we got and for the price, we will definitely go there again, but probably only on Tuesdays.
Oh, and the cheap theaters are right down the street, so if you need a good date, make it for Tuesday, get a free shake, and get $2 Tuesdays at the theater! 8 bucks for a date total! Worth the money. That's where we'll be next week!

Customer Service 3/10
Horrid! When we got there, there were about 3 couples there and 1 girls apartment of people already eating; not a lot of people=not busy. In line there were 3 orders ahead of us and we were #4. There were only TWO people working there and it took a little more than 10 mins to get our food, The lady making our shakes seemed to be taking her precious time and the lady cooking in the back was walking around at a leisurely pace. Plus, I don't think the cook knew how to mult-task and she only made one order at a time because it took a while.

Cleanliness 5/10
I couldn't see my reflection when I sat at the bar. I mean, it wasn't dirty or anything, but it didn't sparkle in my mind. I could see back into the kitchen and the grill area had little burnt pieces of food that appeared to have been on there for several days. It's definitely no In-N-Out kitchen.

Atmosphere 7/10
It really screams out "come visit college kids". Right when you walk in, there is a huge U-shaped bar that most people seemed to like. It was raised up with stools so you can watch the workers move around in the middle. The walls have a few decorations, but could use a little more. Then there is another room that you can go into and their idea of tables were slanted desks that I had in 2nd grade. Hated them. The feel of it was like being in elementary school again which I'm sure the 50% el ed majors at BYUI love. Then there is a stage for singing stuff. That saved it so that it looked at least a little hip. Other than that, neat place to hang out on a date, but not a place I would bring my family or have a 10-year-old's birthday party.

Overall, I'm going to go again on Tuesdays. Great price, and the food is D-lish! (minus the fries). I'd recommend it to anyone craving a burger. Now, put Sammy's burgers together with McDonald's fries, and you've a company that will monopolize.
