Sam's cafe and grill in Jacksonville - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The moment I stepped foot in the esteemed establishment, I felt more at home than I ever had in my life. I couldn’t tell if it was the handome and welcoming employees or the smell of the food that gave me this sensation, but either way, this is an experience that one could never forget and one that people will yearn for and desire 24/7. You will be addicted to visiting this restaurant, almost like a drug, but unlike any pharmaceutical, this experience doesn’t deteriorate by the amount of uses. Every time you visit this establishment, the experience is as good as the first time you came. For this reason, I have given this place 5 stars across the board with pleasure and nor sign of regret.

The sampler plate is delicious!!

Running errands, it was lunch time. Found this spotless great middle eastern cafe. Great service. Only suggestion, add a gyro wrap and grape leaves combo plate

We have a business in the same complex. The food and service is always excellent. Prices are very reasonable.

Really good & was prepared fresh

I don’t normally do reviews but I Was craving a Greek salad so I gave this place a try and I was not disappointed! Huge portion extremely fresh I even tried Falafel for the first time it was full of flavor and it made my mouth water! Will be returning soon thank you

Ive been here about 4 times and i try something new everytime and everything has exceeded my expectations. It is so tasty like its homemade. obsessed with this place and i almost never leave reviews but this small business is really nice. Ive tried grilled cheese sandwich, grilled chicken salad and the cheese burger and its all tasty. Great for lunch breaks and very affordable.

Very delicious and decadent food..I seen this place on google and decided to try them this morning, they definitely didn’t disappoint me and my wife will be making this a regular Breakfast/Lunch spot

1st time ordering. Based on the reviews I got the Chicken Shawarma Greek Salad; it definitely was a hearty portion. I felt full but not overly stuffed. The taste and freshness of the salad was amazing! I look foward to trying more menu items in the near future. Nice hidden little gem!!

Very quick and always delicious! I have had the mushroom burger, bacon burger, and steak and onion wrap and they have all been amazing! The people who work there are kind and very nice and the service is top notch, this is a must-try spot in the Baymeadows area.

Greate owners, family owned and operated and they are lovely, friendly and always smiling. The food is awesome and the prices are awesome....and to top it all of....the baklava.....mmmmmm

Just tried Shawerma and it was so good! Really nice place with delicious food.

Food and service were both great! I had the chicken shwarma wrap, fries and a drink for about $15 including tax and tip. The wrap was very flavorful and perfectly balanced, the fries were regular crinkle cut; but tasted fine. My friend had the kufta kabob, he liked the flavors overall but found it a touch dry. I do wish the place had more decor and atmosphere, but it was clean and well lit. Will definitely be eating here again!

We were in Jax for our new home selection design centers and Sams cafe is the one that we found near by, but we were extremely lucky to go to this restaurant, great food, kids loved the food and Sam’s baklavas that he offered for my kids were delicious ever. Great owner and other staff too . The lamb gyro was delicious!

Great place to grab a bite after work, owner couldn't be any nicer 👍

Good food with friendly service. Nothing fancy but I do recommend eating there.

Ordered the steak and onions in a pita pocket combo. After tax it was just over $10. Service is fast, friendly, the food was hot and the price was reasonable. The steak was not very good due to the fact it was very chewy. It wasn't seasoned very well either, but the you can always add salt and pepper, but what can you do about chewy? I chewed and removed from my mouth more than I was able to ingest. A suggestion would be to marinate your meat longer. I would try this place again but would try a different type of protein.

1st time in. I'm not big on Mediterranean food, but it was good

A friend and I were in Jacksonville for a business trip and we found this little place. The food was very good and the folks were friendly.

Delicious food and lovely family owned restaurant! Really fresh and healthy tasting. Highly recommend for authentic Greek food!

Sam and his family/staff are sure to provide a delicious spread for your hunger. I've stopped in over lunch for takeout with no wait time despite a full house (so the secret of their good food is getting out!). Most recently placed a large cooperate/catered order with the cafe and not only was it praised by the entire team, it was healthy, fresh, timely, and abundant! Be sure to give Sam and his family a try. If you're looking for recommendations: the hummus and meat option is a killer snack and all house made. Any lunch platter is sure to delight (plus a great excuse for a Greek salad) And baklava to go is a pistachio treat everyone deserves!

Absolutely worth the price. I got a steak in a sack and the flavor was great and the fries were cooked perfectly. Will definitely be returning

1st time ordering from sams cafe. I got the Chicken Shawarma Greek Salad; it was definitely a hearty portion. I was extremely satisfied with the taste and freshness of the salad. The staff were also very friendly. I look foward to trying more menu items in the near future.

Absolutely awesome. My wife and I loved it.

Hands down the best Mediterranean food in Jax! Prices are great! Not easily seen from the road so make sure you don't pass up this gem! I drive an hour just to eat here and have never been disappointed. The owners are so very nice and welcoming. Give them a try and I promise you will be back!

So good y’all!! My only wish is that they were closer to the house.

Good tabbouleh and hummus pita!

Food was excellent! Service was great and quick! Go get yourself some Sam's. My office has been near here for the past 3.5 years and I've been missing out!

Got the chicken and hummus lunch. Hummus truly hit the spot that day. Highly recommend the falafels too!

This place is great - falafel is freshly fried and the tabouleh also amazing -

The food here is always fresh and tasty. I have ordered numerous items for breakfast and lunch, always satisfied!

Wow! What a hidden gem. My husband and I found this place by searching Google maps for middle eastern food. So happy to try it. It was Friday afternoon around 1pm. When we walked inside we were happily greeted right away and the place was very clean and organized. This is a no-frills place and the food, prices and service make up for it. There are pictures of their popular menu items so you can see what you're ordering. We ordered for take away. My husband ordered the beef shawarma wrap with fries and drink, I ordered the grilled chicken with hummus and tabouleh. Additionally we ordered a side of Persian rice, and the hummus with beef. Everything was absolutely fresh and incredibly delicious! My husband even wanted to go back the next day, but we were sad to see that they are closed on weekends. We will definitely be back.

Great place to get a great meal and great service.

We had the vegetarian sampler. Best tabouleh ever. Fresh, delicious food. A real gem

Amazing food. I am a constant customer. I was searching for someone who can make shawarma sandwiches. We tried so many places but finally found someone who makes the best shawarma sandwich! amazing sauce, amazing taste, very clean restaurant, and unique foods. Mr Sam and his wife are very nice too!

Omg, I just had the BLT sandwich and it was soooo good! Nice amount of bacon, fresh lettuce, fresh tomato, the right amount of mayo, and toasted to perfection! I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch today. Plus the place looked nice and clean! I will be back!
