Sam
Anker has resided in Santa Rosa since 1949. She was raised
in the restaurant business with her mother owning a local
bakery in Montgomery Village named Dot’s Donuts. At
the age of 16 Sam went to work outside the family business
at such Santa Rosa favorites as King Cole Pancake House, El
Rancho Tropicana, Rick’s of Coddingtown, Michaelangelo’s,
and Omelette Express. After 25 years of working in a variety
of restaurants, Sam decided to open a restaurant of her own.
Many folks encouraged her, while some said it was a risky
venture. Sam decided to take the risk and approach the project
with the mind set that she would create a restaurant that
was based on fun. A place where people felt that they had
a home away from home, where they were called by their first
name and were truly appreciated for their daily patronage.
It was the beginning of something new. A place
where folks could enjoy a quality, home-style meal that
was prepared under immaculate conditions with a staff that
strives for excellent service and attention to detail. People
often ask where the name “Sam’s For Play Cafe”
came from. You
know what they say– “All work and No Play...”–so what
better name than “Sam’s For Play Cafe”!
During
the past 20 years, Sam’s has won numerous awards for exceptional cuisine.
