COMMENTS
This former Sambo's is totally original as it was during the Sambo's era. Nothing has been changed at all. They have been present at this location from the day that Sambo's had left her and this building has been kept up to tip-top shape!

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
In a few photos, you can see that even the smallest of repairs have been made to this building. The pride in their building reflects in their food as well. Stop in. You'll be glad that you did.
