About Us

Sammie’s began in the summer of 1964 on the northwest side of Chicago, in the Portage Park neighborhood, when father Dominic Guinta conceived a way to keep his sons Sam and Joe busy and out of trouble. The idea quickly grew into a beloved local eatery that has remained true to its roots for more than half a century.
At the heart of Sammie’s is the promise of quality: 100% pure Angus beef, grilled to perfection, paired with a menu that celebrates classic Chicago flavors. From hearty burgers to iconic Chicago‑style sandwiches, every bite is crafted with care and a touch of hometown pride.
With four primary locations in Grayslake, Lake Villa, Lindenhurst, and Round Lake, and a convenient spot in Round Lake Beach, Sammie’s offers a reliable, fast‑food experience that fits into any busy day. Each site carries the same welcoming atmosphere and menu variety, ensuring that whether you’re a local resident or a tourist passing through, you’ll find a familiar taste of home.
Beyond the food, Sammie’s builds community through its mobile app, loyalty program, and online ordering platform. Customers can earn rewards, access specials, and order for pickup or delivery—all designed to make every visit effortless. The result is a loyal fan base that praises the flavorful dishes, friendly staff, and consistently high standards that keep them coming back for more. Phone: 847-546-3900
