About Sam's Grill
Sam's Grill has been family-run since 2011 — one family lit a grill in Guelph and never changed the recipe. Patties pressed by hand every morning. Fries cut from Canadian-grown potatoes. A vegetarian gravy the whole table can share, and a room where a kid's birthday and a farmer's lunch break happen side by side.

Amazing food and great value. The burgers are juicy and satisfying, and the poutine is loaded and delicious. Sam’s Grill Guelph is easily one of my go to spots when I want comfort food done right.

Passing through and saw the sign for Poutine, very good. Burger was a lot like a US five guys burger, very good. Service from "handsome funny guy" was very good. Would definitely come back.

As everyone else on these reviews say, its fresh and its clean! Gravy is made in store, No powdered garbage here my friends! The patties and fries are made per order, nothing blanched, no added spices. Just pure clean Beef, the trueway to enjoy a burger. Salt and pepper are available at the front counter. The prices are good for Ontario, our food prices may be gone to heck right now but they serve a nice juicy burger and poutine for under $20. Me and my family went very close to closing time but the Owner seemed very enthusiastic about serving us nonetheless, you don't get that in most places! If you want a good, clean burger, this is the place, if you want a charred greasy breadcum and spice stuffed burger, Try somewhere rated less than Sam's Grill. Lol

Great food and quick service, their shakes and poutine were great.

Came to Cambridge from Windsor to watch my brothers football game and decided to stop by. I got a small pulled pork poutine for around $13. The portions were excellent with plenty of pulled pork and gravy. My only complaint is that the accessibility washroom was a little nasty, but that’s a price I’m willing to pay for such delicious poutine. I’ll be making sure to come back here anytime I’m in Cambridge!

Sam’a Grill Burgers and Poutine in Oakville is one of those spots that leaves you with mixed feelings. On the one hand, if you’re looking for top-quality burgers and poutines, it may not be the best place in town to satisfy that craving. The overall taste and quality of the menu could definitely be improved, especially if you’re comparing it with other burger joints in the area. That being said, the experience wasn’t entirely disappointing, as there are still some positives that stand out. The staff at Sam’a Grill were very pleasant and welcoming. From the moment I walked in, the employee made sure I felt taken care of, which really adds to the overall dining experience. It’s always nice when the people behind the counter are polite and attentive, and that definitely made my visit more enjoyable. In terms of the food, while the poutine didn’t quite meet my expectations, I have to admit their Nashville Hot Chicken Burger was a highlight. It had the right balance of spice, crunch, and flavor that made it stand out from the rest of the menu. For that burger alone, I could see myself giving them another try in the future.

Sams is a tough spot to review. Every single thing I have ordered made me say, "thats pretty good, but not as good as the one at XXXX." That said, I haven't had anything that wasn't good and I didnt finish. I guess thats my review, they aren't gonna blow you away, but aren't gonna let you down either. Sam is a super nice guy and Im glad to have this option in town! The poutine is definitely the best thing on the menu, real fries, real curds!

Incredibly delicious, simple and satisfying, what more could you ask for. Burger and poutine, i will absolutely be going back for their food. The only thing wrong is very limited seating, if your wanting to sit and dine...but well worth trying if you haven't already
Michael Doherty
Great food. Burgers are top notch, fries are very tasty. Jalapeño poppers are perfect and the oreo shake is a must. Service and atmosphere rated lower at no fault of the person serving me. As it was dinner time and seeing only one person on the floor to take orders, money and also prepare the food. As well that individual is probably required to clean the grill, fryers, lobby, tables, bathrooms every floor and every garbage at the end of the night. It is astonishing to me how the owner of this place only has one person working. If the owner reads this review you should always have a minimum of two people working at all times. Not only for the customers to have good service but also for the employees to be able to work safely. Employees have the right to have breaks and your customers deserve to get good service. For a place with amazing food stop hurting your employees. I could see the stress on your employees face when 6 people were in the restaurant at the same time. Do better. My rating for the food is 5 stars, but your disrespect for your employees needs to end.

Just got our first order from them today. I ordered combo #4 (double patty burger and poutine) the burger was amazing and routine had a nice thick gravy and cheese curds. I also seen a promo for vegetarian gravy for those who have a specific diet. My hubby ordered the donair and he said he really enjoyed it. Then we got the milk shakes and enjoyed that too! Great new addition to the north thank you for great and very quick service!
Sabrina Laforest
Good food and service. Best burger and milkshake I had in a long time from a restaurant in Hearst. I will be going back a lot 😊❤️

My first time trying this food on my way through Swift Current. The handsome funny guy was very knowledgeable on the quality of the food. He promised me a delicious meal and he delivered. Pulled pork poutine with a burger and mango milkshake. I highly recommend it.
Robert Cochrane
What a spot! Went to Sam’s with the family (12 of us) after an Activate outing and what a great decision that was. Wanted something simple & quality with options for all the kids and adults that didn’t take over an hour to have a big family dinner. The girls there were incredible. They took great care of us. I came up with a secret menu item (Hamburger Poutine with all the supreme veg poutine fixings on top… ssshhh!). They made it happen, we had a good laugh and they went over and above surprising us with some delicious cheesecake and cookies to share with the family. We will be back and thank you for taking great care of us. You won’t regret dining at Sam’s!

Burgers are GREAT!!!!! So happy they have a gluten free bun option. Though not impressed the last time I ordered the bottom of the bun was so hard, I could have used it to hammer nails. Was inedible! If you go in and get EJ he is Great! He is friendly and makes a great burger! Anyone else gives attitude and is rude, and will give you stale food. Wont order unless EJ is working.

The hot dog I just ate here was, quite truthfully, the VERY best hot dog I have ever had in my entire life!! Not only was it so tasty I ate it all despite being on meds that suppress my appetite, the service was also quick and the worker at the counter was patient and kind. My only complaint would be that the fries were lacklustre, but in comparison to the hot dog, what wouldn't be?? And I'm sure had I not just eaten one of the top five best meals of my life, the fries would've been delectable!! Sam's Grill, I will be back and I'm so very excited for that day!!

The owners/staff at Sam's Grill in Brockville always find a way to make a visit to a "burger joint" a memorable experience. They attend to their client's needs, make the experience personal and memorable. You actually feel like they value your business and are thankful for it. Oh, and good food too ;)
Jason Kelsey
Great service and the most delicious donair and mango shake I have experienced 😋 👍👍👍very fresh ingredients and great value for the money😊👍👍.
David Williams
This location is clean and well taken care of as compared to other fast food restaurants. We ordered the combo 4 and combo 2 for dinner and it was really good. The beef patties were well done and juicy. The chicken patty was also really good and it was a nice big piece of chicken I was full half way through it. Will definitely want to try the other menu options when we are in Timmins next time.
Shelby Anderson
Ordered off Uber and my order was missing the fries and portions were small, I gave them a call to advise and they made it right, and personally delivered what was missing and then some. A business that works with customers to fix an issue is great in my books. Thank you guys, food was very very good so I will order again!
Kat Holliday
James and Shruti are amazing employees the best thing about a business is the people working with customers and providing absolutely ample value to what they provide. The Donair!! FIVE STARS. The atmosphere FIVE STARS! I am a new visitor and will continue to support and share my experiences with Sam’s Grill. Greatly appreciated and by far the BEST DONAIR IN KWC area. No competition at all.
Christopher MacLean
The food is good, it has greasy spoon/chip shack style offerings but it's pretty much take out only. Service was friendly.
Samantha Thibert
Forgot to take pictures. Very good experience. The regular burger was a perfect size for us. Even though its 2 patties, its not over filling. We liked the burger better than the chicken burger. Fries were very good as well. We liked how everything was customizable. No set toppings youre stuck with or have to aks not to include or pick off. Our order came out very quickly.
Mark D
Nice little place, great burgers and good poutine.
Shannon Papps
I ordered their fresh-cut fries and fiesta poppers, and I just wanted to say they were amazing! Hands down some of the best and crispiest fries I’ve ever had from a fast-food restaurant. The fiesta poppers were also delicious. Definitely a great experience!!
Melanie Stamp
Well today, my wife and I decide to give Sam Grill a try for the very first time. As we saw the place as we were driving thru Waterloo as we were originally heading to Burger King, but I can tell you , I am so happy we stop at Sam Grill in Waterloo. Customer service was amazing and the restaurant was in amazing shape and very clean and very nice. We were greeted by a nice gentleman as we entered the restaurant and he served us the whole way thru and brought our food to our table. My wife ordered a Hot Dog with Bacon, cheese and mustard and relish and fries and pop. I ordered a burger with bacon and mustard and onion and with fries and pop, we also ordered an order of battered mushrooms. All the food was fresh and hot and very tasty. We will definitely be a repeat customer for Sam’s Grill Waterloo.

Hey guys, so this was my first trip to Sam’s Grill, and I have to say that we were pretty impressed. The restaurant inside was very clean and from what I could tell by looking behind the counter, they were also extremely clean and well kept. Only one girl was working the grill, but it was slow and she was helpful and she made an order fast. We got two pines and burger combo The pins we got were size smalls and they were still massive and my burger combo was decent.. . I still highly recommend I feel like the price point was fair for sure Go check it out if you haven’t already support these guys because I believe they’re worth it 🔥🔥

They advertise Halifax Donairs. They are correct! I am from Bedford, just outside of Halifax. I have had tons of Donairs in my lifetime and these are the real deal! King of Donair are the best. They were the first and oldest company to invent and bring the Donair to Canada. Sam's has gotten the correct spice combination down. The only thing they need to work on is finding the correct Pita bread. That is not the same. Too soft and fluffy. I would suggest throwing the pita on the flat top with a little oil to brown it up slightly like they do at King of Donair. They have added Garlic into the sauce which is not original but it works. All I can say is this foodie approves and highly recommends Sam's!!!
Scott Hall
I tried the butter chicken poutine, and it tastes amazing! The fries and the cheese are also outstanding compared to other poutines I’ve tried. I’m excited to try other menu items soon.
Rocky Lessard
The burgers are amazing! They're just like your own backyard burgers, homemade patties, fresh lettuce, tomatoes and onions. The poutine is delicious, but the portions are huge, so if you order both, you'll need a friend to share it with.
Kim ODell
Pretty good poutine. We had 1 regular and 1 smoked meat poutine. Both very tasty with traditional cheese curds, very important. I would have liked to have seen a little more smoked meat but overall pretty good.
Mark Crowshaw
we dined here recently. this is a must try place. juti the owner told me that everything is made fresh on site and you defo can tell. the cheese burgers rank very highly compared to other local faves. we also had the spicy and butter chicken poutine. wow!! the butter chicken is hands down the best in the city.
Dave Marsillo
Phenomenal food, incredibly friendly staff, and unbelievably good value for your dollar. We had delicious poutine and burgers, all gluten-free, hot, and very yummy! Staff made sure we were looked after. The burgers are made with patties made in-store and the butter chicken poutine is out of this world! Hot, tasty and savory. Biting into these burgers is a total 10/10 experience: it's clear the staff works to make the food high quality, and to improve on perfection, even! A new style of cooking the patties has dropped this month, and it is delightful

I would give it better stars, but the ceiling in the dining room area has a lot of dirt in it and it hasn’t been cleaned in 4 years!! Why do customers need to sit underneath the dirty ceiling.
Ash Dol
Ordered a veggie burger and veggie supreme poutine to go. The service time was reasonable and the coupon I had for the veggie burger was honoured. Got the order home and the food was very good. Would visit this location in Oakville again!
Dale Sellers
I had the pleasure of dining at Sam’s grill on grand opening day and I was completely blown away. The service was impeccable ; our server Hinal & Umang was knowledgeable about the menu and ensured we were well taken care of without being overbearing and The food is where this place truly shines. Every dish we ordered was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented and I highly recommend to visit this place.

Sam's Grill is a family favorite! We have tried nearly all menu items. Full flavor, full portions, decent price and deals for families. The fries are delicious, and always hot. They make delicious poutine ** Newfie poutine is just like down home.The donair is also a must try! The staff are very kind, and work hard. Much respect.
Joanne Fredericks
Great burger with homecut fries at a very reasonable price. Their regular burger comes with 2 patties, if you order the regular combo I believe it was $16. You get your 2 patty burger, homecut fries and drink, I also added gravy to my order. The burger was brought out hot and juicy, fries were also hot and crispy. Was very impressed with the quality of food. If you're in the area definitely worth checking out.
Bruce Upton

Renee Beauvais
Just had a quick stop at Sam's Grill. I had the crispy chicken and fires. The service from Darshil was great. Very friendly. Definitely recommend anyone in the Iroquois Falls area to check out the spot.

All food was excellent
Suzanne Landry
Great food and staff! The place was super busy with orders but the service and food quality never went down. Shout out to the cook today, he was killing it.
Nate P.
Just finished lunch here and had to leave a review while still sitting at the table. The ingredients are noticeably fresh, the burger patty had that proper handmade texture you don’t get from frozen pucks. What really stands out is how clean everything is; the dining area, the open kitchen view, even the condiment station is spotless. Ordered the classic cheeseburger and fries, and you can tell they actually care about the food they’re putting out. Nice to have a local spot that prioritizes quality and cleanliness.
Bekir C.
Great restaurant staff always smiling and a special thank you to Hinal for the great service
Nathalie Therrien Gagnon
WELL I CANT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT MR FUNNY HANDSOME GUY ,so friendly and a very happy guy . Great burger I would recommend this place for sure . He makes the best mango shakes. You got to try them
Judy Larson
Wanted to try a new place tonight so we decided to order from Sam's Grill. I am politely giving 4 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐ as my family was happy with the meal. It was a 3 for me at best. Family enjoyed the taters, cheese burger, bacon cheese burger and chicken fingers. Fries looked perfect in the pictures on Skip, however they are not similar. Potato's are not peeled to make these fries- game changer for me! Ordered specifically as the fries and poutine looked amazing... Not great! Hot dog was decent a little dry as cheese and all the toppings were hiding behind the dog!
Katherine Bennett
Burger and poutine feels better than fast food restaurants. Make sure you grab it when its fresh.
Peter
I recently visited Sam’s Grill and had a great experience. The place is clean and welcoming. Their chicken burger was very tasty, crispy, and fresh. I also tried the buffalo chicken poutine, which had crispy fries and delicious gravy. The food was served hot, and the service was quick and friendly. It’s a great place to enjoy burgers and poutine with friends or family.
Khushi Chauhan
Sam's Grill in Waterloo recently opened up and the food is great. Hamburgers are homemade and fresh,many types of poutine to try. Prices are reasonable. It only takes 5 minutes to prepare and you can dine in, take out or delivery. The place is bright and has 2 televisions.
Ann Josling
The employees are very friendly and eager to please. Their food is something worth trying, made fresh everyday it's great to have. The wait time can be a little long from time to time, but trust it is because your meal is made fresh. I highly recommend Sam's Grill!
Michelle Perreault
Staff member was super friendly and offered suggestions on menu item. Food was quickly and prepared hot to order!
Lorna Knipe
Tried their pulled pork sandwich/burger many days ago and while it was good, I've had a few better ones. Maybe it's just not good when delivered , as the sauce inside makes the burger become soggy, so will give it a try again in store if I can.
