It's true what others have said–the people in here act like they have no idea what is going on. Goodness. I'm reading off of the menu. YOUR menu. Why are you looking at me like I'm growing a third nostril. Items are very overpriced, too. The only reason I would ever go in here is its super-convenient location across the street from my apartment.
Simple Sams should be SO much better than it is, but it seems obvious they're simply coasting on the steady stream of customers they get due to the location. With few other options within a couple blocks, this place never seems empty, but if it got any competition, I think they'd be out of business in no time. They're taking their customers for granted, and that is pretty frustrating.
First of all, Simple Sams simply isn't that clean. It's always a little messy and seems a bit dirty. It feels a little gross getting food there.
Things are very expensive. Okay, it's a convenience store charging convenience store prices, but I still only use this place in an emergency.
The shelves are usually half empty, and the wine section is the saddest wine selection you've ever seen. Based on the wine section, you'd think the place was going out of business in the next week.
I have found their food a very mixed bag. I ordered a bagel with cream cheese, took it home, and unwrapped it to find the cream cheese was spread so thin it could hardly be seen. Who eats a bagel with cream cheese this way? You're supposed to schmear it on thick and tasty! On the other hand, the sandwich I ordered was pretty good, if pricey. I also stopped once to get a pound of sliced beef, and after paying around $12 per pound, I opened the paper wrapper (no plastic?) to find the meat dried out.
It's nice to have a place like this in my apartment complex, but frankly the residents of the neighborhood deserve better. Simple Sam's really ought to be trying a bit harder. Lots of folks would love to support a locally owned business, but they just are doing enough to get by.
