editorial profile:
The virtue of a good hot dog can sometimes be forgotten with all the hoopla that burgers and pizza get, but Sammy Sausage is one place where beer and bratwurst is honored. The casual counter-style restaurant is comfortable and spacious and has a friendly staff that will talk you through its in-depth menu. There’s the steamed all-beef, a grilled sausage in a bun, sauerkraut dog, the popular chilidog, tequila jalapeño, a hot link and the ever-popular best-sellers polish and bratwurst. Oh, and let’s not forget the all-American traditional hot dog in a bun. Pair any one of these with a side of chilli, organic potato salad and a draft beer or a glass of wine. Sammy Sausage also serves a full-size chicken salad and a turkey and swiss sandwich. If you haven’t had enough to eat, order a sugar cone of organic soft serve ice cream with dark chocolate, caramel or fruit. Cindy Arora

" Nice place but poor service and I definitlly wouldn't say inexpensive! I spent almost $30 on a casual lunch. I would suggest going across the way to Pizza Antica or just heading down the street to Parkers. No solid atmosphere and no kids menu was unfortunate for my wife and i. "

" The "Bite-Size Profile" seems a bit out of date. When this restaurant first opened under the name "SammySausage," it was probably accurate to characterize it as "one place where beer and bratwurst [are] honored." Since then, however, the restaurant has de-emphasized its sausages through a series of name changes -- first, "SammySausage & Burgers" and, more recently, "Sammy's Great American Food." This is a shame, because there is really no treat like a GRILLED bratwurst, kielbasa, or hot link complete with proper skin and soft French roll. Steamed and boiled "hot dogs" are a very poor substitute for the real thing. In any event, we have found the service at "Sammy's Whatever" to be variable -- fine one evening and miserable the next, sometimes depending on the counter person's ability to understand English. And frankly, the grilled sausages are MUCH better prepared at The Dog Out, which opened recently on Manzanita Avenue in Carmichael, not far from Fair Oaks Boulevard. (And no, we do NOT own or work for The Dog Out!) The Dog Out is a bit of a drive from Granite Bay or Roseville, but the trip is worth every mile. Forget Sammy's, which presents the appearance of a business enterprise still drifting in confused search of its own identity.

" When Sammy's morphed from "SammySausage" to "SammySausage & Burgers" not long after opening, great hoopla was made over the addition of hamburgers and milkshakes to the menu. Unfortunately, neither new item was terribly good -- the burgers were lackluster, and the shakes were both thin and lacking a true chocolate flavor. We wish Sammy's had worked on perfecting the sausages instead of spreading itself thin by trying to offer everything for everybody. "
