Sam's Grill · Cambridge

Cambridge is Sam's home base — head office, flagship, and the kitchen where every new partner family learns the press. It suits the brand: a city stitched together from three river towns (Galt, Preston, Hespeler) that kept their Main Streets and their manners. The Grand River runs through the middle of it, the old stone mills still stand, and the wall in our store carries the line guests photograph most: First we eat, then we do everything else.

Every Sam's Grill is run by the family that owns it — ours is no different. The Rajni family has been behind the counter in Cambridge since April 2019, pressing the patties, learning the regulars' names, and arguing (gently) about whether the Barnyard Burger is the best thing on the board. Come decide for yourself. Guelph taught me how to run one store. Cambridge taught me how to run two — and that's a different thing, because you can't be in both rooms at once. The standard has to hold whether I'm standing there or not. Eight years between them and I still walk in and check the same things: the beef, the fries, whether the room feels like somewhere you'd sit down. If it's not good enough for my own table, it doesn't leave the kitchen. That was the rule in Guelph in 2011 and it's the rule here.

Meet Rajni

Rajni opened Cambridge in April 2019, eight years after lighting the first flat-top in Guelph, and he runs both the same way. Same promise: homemade food, made fresh every day, served warm to everyone at the table. Cambridge is where the rest of Sam's Grill gets planned, but he'd rather be on the floor than in a meeting.

Came to Cambridge from Windsor to watch my brothers football game and decided to stop by. I got a small pulled pork poutine for around $13. The portions were excellent with plenty of pulled pork and gravy. My only complaint is that the accessibility washroom was a little nasty, but that’s a price I’m willing to pay for such delicious poutine. I’ll be making sure to come back here anytime I’m in Cambridge!

So we've been going to this location for quite a while and have always have great service and food, but we went last Tuesday july 14th and we walked in, 1 of the workers was sitting in a booth on her phone, probably on break and we stood there for a good 5 mins before she went and got someone to serve us, the food was ok, not great and the milkshakes were just chocolate milk. After spending $45 on 2 burgers, 1 fry and 2 milkshakes you would hope it tatse great and come with great service but no. Not sure what happened to this location but we wont be back. It was great at one time, they greeted you with smiles and hellos, not anymore.

I would give it better stars, but the ceiling in the dining room area has a lot of dirt in it and it hasn’t been cleaned in 4 years!! Why do customers need to sit underneath the dirty ceiling.

We ate-in at this location and the restaurant was clean, well decorated, and plenty of seating. The customer service was friendly from the staff the second we walked into the building all the way through to them bringing our tray to our table. The food was tasty, Cooked to perfection, and topped the way we liked it. We had two regular cheeseburger combos and upgraded to the milkshakes! A little pricey for two people, but worth it as a treat!
