"Few things in life can revive you after a night of making friends with bourbon like the glory cakes at Sam’s Morning Glory Diner in Bella Vista. This cash-only spot specializes in dense pancakes that are so addicting that you’ll want to eat them down to the last forkful–or apple chunk, caramelized banana, or blueberry. Weekly specials come in varieties like strawberry cheesecake and pumpkin that have been infused into the batter. The result, no matter which stack you order, is a pancake that will bring you back to life more than a cup of coffee ever could." - candis mclean, alison kessler
"There are mornings when you feel invincible. You know, meditation at sunrise, early morning yoga, post-class green-juice mornings. And then there are mornings when you need a plate of cheesy eggs and potatoes, served with a side of more fried things. For the latter category, Sam’s is the right choice. This brunch institution has been around for more than two decades. Just don’t schedule any plans afterward, unless those plans include a nap and leftover pancakes." - alison kessler, candis mclean
"A longtime Bella Vista favorite, cash-only Sam’s Morning Glory Diner serves restaurant-quality breakfast, brunch, and lunch food at diner prices. Think warm buttermilk biscuits, fresh-squeezed orange juice, homemade ketchup, hot coffee in stainless steel mugs, and a daily menu of creatively named specials. Sam’s is also a better option for vegans than most diners, thanks to a daily tofu scramble." - Olivia DiPasquale
"There are mornings when you feel invincible. You know, green juice at sunrise, early morning spin, and you’ve checked off four things on your to-do list before noon. And then there are mornings when you only want a plate of cheesy eggs and a stack of pancakes. On mornings like this, Sam’s is here for you. This Bella Vista brunch institution usually has a long line on the weekends, so Mondays are an ideal time to go and avoid the wait. Just don’t schedule any plans for after plates of monkey french toast and veggie frittata, unless those plans include a nap." - candis mclean
