Testimonials
Great Happy Hour, nice staff, fun atmosphere. I love Culvers across the street, but I can’t believe they can compete with Sam Hill since the food/prices are on par but the atmosphere is way better. I’ll keep this place in mind if I need a party space…

First time here and for my 40th. The customer service was outstanding. Food was absolutely delicious. The place is a vibe. Definitely looking forward to coming back. Missing the burger picture but I ate it so fast I didn’t even take a picture.
