Last time we were out on the West side for a counter, we happened to notice Sammi's Deli -- in the shopping plaza off of Dover Center Rd, a block behind Lorain in North Olmsted. So we went back over on a Saturday morning, planning to check it out before making a stop at Guitar Center just down the road.
Around 11:00, the place was full -- seems to be really popular. Fortunately we got 2 seats at the counter without waiting. Service was friendly and pretty efficient -- Sammi's appears to be a family-run operation, with the owner (maybe Sammi?) cooking in the back and the rest of the family serving and cleaning out front.
We both opted for breakfast -- bagel sandwich with egg, bacon and cheese for Cam and a veggie omelette and coffee for Ted. Both with sides of home fries. The food came out very fast. Portions (particularly the omelette, but also the home fries) were really big -- well worth the price. While reasonably tasty, there was really nothing standout about the meals, and for sure the potatoes could have been cooked a lot longer -- no effort to make them well-done as requested.
Overall, a decent but somewhat average meal -- it was fine, but maybe not our favorite in that part of town. Side note: this was counter #74 -- next up, our diamond counter visit!
Cam says: "Fair service with limited atmosphere. Decent food quality. I give it 4 frying pans."
Ted says: "Clean and efficient place, friendly service, decent value but pretty average food. 5 pans."
