Back in the 1970s we used to go to Sambo s Restaurant all the time. Especially late at night when the bars closed. That s when we d head over to Sambo s – every weekend at 2am – for steak and eggs. That s what I would hear every Friday/Saturday night from my circle of friends: “steak & eggs, steak & eggs, steak & eggs.”
In almost every section of Michigan, you would be able to find a Sambo s. The first Sambo s opened in 1957 and by 1969, there were almost 100 locations nationwide. Before the local Denny s, Sambo s filled our late-night needs.but there were problems arising, unknown to us.
