It so exceeded my expectations on every level. It&#8217;d decorated with rustic Americana, about a dozen tables and booths.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I ordered the ham steak and eggs and was presented with a thick slab of quality ham prepared just the way I requested. I opted for \u201cAmerican fries\u201d for the potato, thinly sliced crispy rounds, and marble rye toast.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Everything was superb including service and follow up, including getting chatted up by the manager and the chef.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">It was about a 40 minute drive for me. Well worth it. I&#8217;ll hit it again and explore more of the menu.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">You can find the full menu on Zomato. It&#8217;s pretty ambitious for a small joint.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Thirty miles Southwest of Milwaukee, eighty miles NNW of Chicago (map below). Opens early, seven days.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18571\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18571\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/20190305_095858-Copy.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-18571\" src=\"https:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/20190305_095858-Copy-400x311.jpg\" alt=\"Sam's Diner Review \u2013 Waterford, WI\" width=\"400\" height=\"311\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18571\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Ham steak and eggs, American fries<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/sams-map-Copy.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-18572\" src=\"https:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/sams-map-Copy-400x284.jpg\" alt=\"Sam's Diner Review \u2013 Waterford, WI\" width=\"400\" height=\"284\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View Menu, Reviews, Photos &amp; Information about Sam's Diner, Waterford and other Restaurants in Milwaukee\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zomato.com\/milwaukee\/sams-diner-waterford\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none; width: 200px; height: 146px; padding: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zomato.com\/logo\/17178654\/biglink\" alt=\"Sam's Diner Menu, Reviews, Photos, Location and Info - Zomato\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sams Diner Review \u2013 Waterford, WI<br \/>\nSams Diner Review \u2013 Waterford, WI<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sam&#8217;s Diner Review \u2013 Waterford, WI There are a few times in my life when I&#8217;ve had a plate put in front of me at a restaurant and I&#8217;ve sighed and said \u201cthis is art.\u201d When\/where this has happened, it&#8217;s never been dependent on the price or the number of stars, or some fancy name&hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/?p=18569\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Sams Diner Review &#8211; Waterford, WI<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4,11,16,31],"tags":[1184,2279,3747],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18569"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=18569"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18569\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=18569"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=18569"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=18569"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
