Sam's Cafe - Half Moon Bay, California

Came to give this eatery a try as I came into Half Moon Bay. Service was excellent, my servers were very polite and attended to our requests as kindly as possible. It did not take a long time for our orders to arrive at our table, and the food was delicious.

I ordered the corned beef hash and eggs with house fries, and I savored every bite. I’ll admit I was a tad skeptical about the large potato dice, and was anticipating that the taters weren’t cooked well, but I was wrong. They were delicious, and surely complemented the eggs and hash, too!
I ordered a pancake on the side, and my perception was that they were from a box mix due to the texture and flavor. However, it doesn’t dismiss the fact that the pancake was still tasty.

If ever I return here to Half Moon Bay, I would love to come back here, maybe even for lunch!

Excellent breakfast. However, providing just a single slice of toast for a $31 meal is unacceptable.

Great breakfast and fast service! Prices were a little higher than what the outdated menu said, but the food itself was very good and the orange juice was very fresh!

The wet burrito was awesome, big portion, couldn’t finish it. The homemade hot green La Negizita sauce made every bite special! The albacore fish melt was tasty too!

From the outside, Sam’s doesn’t look like much, but inside, it’s cozy and inviting. A classic breakfast spot. Nothing fancy.
We had the Eggs Benedict and Huevos Rancheros—both were good. Portion sizes were good.
However, in my opinion, the prices are quite high for a classic breakfast. The Huevos Rancheros was $20 and the eggs Benedict were $19. A cup of tea is $4. To me that is a little steep.

Sam's Chowder is rich and flavorful.

I tried the Blue Crab sandwich this visit, it wasn't as good as Dungeness Crab, so if you're a Dungeness Crab fan I wouldn't recommend the Blue Crab option.

I've had Sam's Lobster Roll in previous visits and that was a good choice.

Don’t Hesitate. Stop here for the best food!

Just a stranger in this town passing through and needed a breakfast spot for a seven year old and 4 adults, one a vegetarian. This place was close and we took a chance. It was the best decision ever. Service was amazing, food was excellent and from checking out the other customers- it’s a solid local spot. 11/10. Also, they have the best homemade hot sauce.

Food and service are good. However, most of their breakfast dishes cost around $20, which seems pretty overpriced compared to other local breakfast places. The real winner is the salsa negrita!
