More about Sam's Log Cabin
Before it became a place for eggs and pancakes, the cabin served as a betting parlor and a speakeasy, and later as a roadhouse. Mike Daillak and his partner Rhasaan Fernandez bought the restaurant in 2010 and have kept the focus on fresh food from local suppliers. The Infatuation reviewed it in July 2026, and KTVU featured it in a segment in August 2026.
