Austin 360
Austin s newest old school Italian restaurant is opening this week in the former home of one of the city s most iconic old school restaurants.
Sammie s, the red-sauce Italian restaurant from the McGuire Moorman Hospitality restaurant group, will open on Tuesday at 807 W. Sixth St., which for more than 40 years housed Hut s Hamburgers. Next door was Favorite Liquor Store, which has been transformed into Favorite Pizza, which will open in coming weeks, according to the restaurant group.
Sammie s is a restaurant inspired by the famed West Hollywood spot Dan Tana s, according to Austin360 restaurant writer Matthew Odam, who first reported when the concept was announced in 2019.
