Sam's Grill · Oakville

Oakville knows quality when it tastes it — a lakeside town of harbours and tree-lined streets, where downtown Lakeshore Road has kept its independent shops and its standards. We reopened here in 2026, bigger than before, a short hop from the GO station on Cross Avenue. Same hand-pressed patties, same squeaky curds, same rule: nothing under a heat lamp, ever.

I was initially drawn to Sam's Grill by their appealing online presence. However, my dining experience was somewhat underwhelming. While the restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly, the burgers fell short of expectations. The patties were thinner than anticipated and a bit dry. The abundant processed cheese and well-placed onions were a positive, but the iceberg lettuce would have been a better choice. The additional toppings were limited in selection and average in quality. The fries were also average. While Sam's Grill offers a better burger experience than fast-food chains, it doesn't quite match the quality of higher-end burger joints like Five Guys or Burgers Priest.

Sam’a Grill Burgers and Poutine in Oakville is one of those spots that leaves you with mixed feelings. On the one hand, if you’re looking for top-quality burgers and poutines, it may not be the best place in town to satisfy that craving. The overall taste and quality of the menu could definitely be improved, especially if you’re comparing it with other burger joints in the area. That being said, the experience wasn’t entirely disappointing, as there are still some positives that stand out. The staff at Sam’a Grill were very pleasant and welcoming. From the moment I walked in, the employee made sure I felt taken care of, which really adds to the overall dining experience. It’s always nice when the people behind the counter are polite and attentive, and that definitely made my visit more enjoyable. In terms of the food, while the poutine didn’t quite meet my expectations, I have to admit their Nashville Hot Chicken Burger was a highlight. It had the right balance of spice, crunch, and flavor that made it stand out from the rest of the menu. For that burger alone, I could see myself giving them another try in the future.

Food - 2/5 Service - 4/5 Ambiance - 2/5 Price - Inexpensive Ordered Nashville Hot Chicken Burger, Chicken Wings and Poutine. All of them were very tangy and didn't taste well, the sauce was not good, and also the chicken felt stale. It was not worth it, probably not going back there again.

Ordered a veggie burger and veggie supreme poutine to go. The service time was reasonable and the coupon I had for the veggie burger was honoured. Got the order home and the food was very good. Would visit this location in Oakville again!

Tried their pulled pork sandwich/burger many days ago and while it was good, I've had a few better ones. Maybe it's just not good when delivered , as the sauce inside makes the burger become soggy, so will give it a try again in store if I can.
