I visited Sam's Grill for a burger this evening, and unfortunately, I had to wait for 10 minutes before an employee took my order. To my surprise, the same employee who took my payment also handled the food with his bare hands. It was quite unhygienic and I had to request him to remake the burgers after washing his hands. The experience was rather unpleasant, and I ended up throwing away two burgers. This incident has made me reconsider going back to Sam's Grill, especially after two years of being a regular customer. It seems like they try to prevent customers from witnessing their cooking process, possibly indicating a lack of proper hand washing policy.

Let me preface this by saying all I am reviewing is the donair as it all I was interested in havingI am Halifax born and bred and grew up eating donairsSadly not a lot of places have taken on the task of offering this item in Toronto in spite of other cities like Edmonton adopting donairs as the official food of the city like Halifax doesI know a good donair when I’ve got one and this one is not badThe biggest thing to note is the pitaThough Halifax donairs were started by a Greek pizza shop owner, the modern day donairs in Halifax virtually all include Lebanese pitaThe difference being the Greek pita is more fluffy and thick rather than thin and crispThis difference is notable to me and really the only reason I didn’t give a five star ratingThe meat was very nice, expertly shaved not to thick with perfect sauce to meat to veggie ratioThe sauce was a bit grainy but not overlyI liked it and will try it again though there is another whitby based donair spot that has a better offering

So fresh and filling! Felt like I was eating a healthier version of what is the epitome of fast food. The veges were yummy and fresh and the onion rings were a great potion as well. I’ve gone there twice now (just a burger and onion rings is under 20 CAD).
Great and understanding staffDietary restrictions: Very understanding of my allergies

Came across Sam’s Grill while looking for a quick bite to eat with my husband and was pleasantly surprised. We had the burger combo with poutine and the donair. The burger was really good! Cooked to order and tasted similar to a smash burger. The poutine was also really good and were fresh cut fries. The donair was also quite tasty. Will definitely return!

If you love Nashville sauce, you might want to try their Nashville Hot Chicken Burger! Oh yum - you can also add your favourite toppings.We also tried their Barnyard Burger which is a fusion of beef and pulled pork in BBQ sauce which is my husband’s go-to and loved the Butter Chicken Poutine.Ask them for their signature hot sauce if you love spice! I loved it.Must try their milkshakes - we tried their Oreo Shake and Mango Shake.

Glad to try this place!Had craving for burgers at night. Checked Ubereats, and a bit debated between fast food chain or a local burger place - and found buy one (Original burger) get another free deal at Sam's Grill. The burgers were loosely packed, with two generous coarsely ground meat patties (well done but juicy) between the fluffy buns. I got "everything" as the toppings - but the delivered burgers were not soggy. Veggie toppings were fresh and crisp, giving it a great texture. Loosely packed with fluffy buns, standing tall. Delicious X 2! Great deal! Their poutine has a good reputation. Next time for sure!

Saw there web page so I thought I would try the Donair. It was $12.99 m+ tax and there might have been 2 oz of chard meat in the pita that, sorry to use a pun but left a bad taste in my mouth.The portion sizes depicted on the walls in no way reflected the portion size of the food on the grill nor the prices charged.....

Good burgers. 3oz patties, but very reasonably priced. Hits the spot.
