Beware! Food is awful. Had a cheese steak sandwich, it was dry and cold. Almost choked on every bite! I was too hungry and it was to late to go anywhere else or I would of… French fries came out cold and undercooked && DONT order the iced tea… I think it was brewed 3 months ago… Very sad because it’s one of the few restaurants in my area that are open late.

Choice was between Uncle Sams and Zipps. We obviously chose Uncle Sams, which ended up being the wrong choice. This visit was the worst dining5 experience ever at Uncle Sams. Only 2 other tables when we came in. Ordered our drinks than our meals. Drinks arrived first and I cruised through my first pint of beer. I asked our server to change the TV closest to our table to the Diamondback game. We heard her go5 relay the message to someone. Our food was delivered and was never asked if I wanted anotherŕ beer or anything else to drink. The TV still game bbeen get teen changed. We see our server standing by the bar texting the entire time we are eating. Never offered a refill on the water my girlfriend was drinking or another beer. At this point, we feel like a burden to the server, which, miraculouslym she brought us. Needless to say, very poor service and we will never be back because of it.

I would give it five stars except for the fact that when I asked if they had bleu cheese salad dressing they said no and the reason was because the owner hates bleu cheese. Order the white pizza. Thin crust with broccoli.

I hate to do it… I’ve been eating here since 2000, this is my favorite local family restaurant. Tonight I’m dining in with my family of 5. Ordered the usual zucchini and mushroom basket and ask for a few extra ranch… I’m told they charge for any extra containers. The containers are 3 oz. are you telling me that’s enough for my 5 family members to share? The 80¢ they want to charge for each extra isn’t the point, it’s common sense. That’s not enough for 5 people!!! Totally ridiculous… Is it enough that drinks are 2.75 each? Whatever… we’ve always enjoyed this place, but I’m not supporting this ridiculousness. For the same amount of money, we could have and should have, and will be going to Hillstones’s next time! Thanks anyway Uncle Sams…

So after staying away for nearly a year due to the sad gradual decline of the place we decided to give it another shot. I guess as a kid who grew up with their delicious pizza and cheesesteaks I just couldn’t abandon them and stay away forever! Have to say, after one visit back they are well on their way to winning us back. Service was prompt, friendly, and much more of the All American high school vibe I remember than the kind of trashy strung out stripper types they’ve had working there over the past several years. But on to the important stuff, the food! We ordered a half cheesesteak, sams special pizza, zucchini, and chicken fingers for the kid. Healthy I know! The food was like I remember it, prompt, fresh, hot and delicious. My only complaint is a familiar one, they need to put more cheese on the cheesesteaks! But other than that it was a lot more like the «good old days» at Uncle Sams that I remember. We’ll be back and let’s hope they keep it up!

I go here kind of often and some of the girls there have horrible attitude and aren’t very nice however there are a couple that are nice. They have messed up my order more times than I can count but when they don’t mess up my order the food is very good

I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying Uncle Sams for decades. Their grinders are the sandwiches I judge all others by and always compare to. The pizza is very tasty as is the rest of the menu, which is quite diverse and not over priced by any means. Service is always attentive, friendly and just top notch period. I’ve since moved northwest of the valley but as fate would have it, thankfully so, I am now able to enjoy the same awesome Uncle Sams food here since this is one of the two locations they eventually expanded out to. Bottom line, I have enjoyed Uncle Sams terrific food for over 30 years across all locations and I simply cannot recommend them highly enough.

I’m going with 2 stars, normally I’d give them five stars because the food is more than excellent the girls there are super attentive and very cute, but that big dude with the bald head that stands up there by the counter looking miserable and in a hurry, just seems like he’s always in a pissy mood and always mean mugging people. maybe I’m too observant but I think when you go to a place to eat, the people that work there shouldn’t look like its a hassle to be at work. sorry, uncle sams but one bad apple spoils the bunch.

I enjoy uncle sams, I was born and raised in the area and have been eating here since I started eating solid food. It’s not the greatest food but the wings are pretty good. When you order togo it’s hit or miss. Sometimes your food is perfect, and sometimes you get 12 drums and 1 wing with an order of wings. All in all its easy, ok price, and quick.

I have been a regular of this place since they opened. When they were at Shea and the 101 I was always there. Since that location closed I now have returned to this location. If you are looking for fancy then skip this place. It is very casual, overall the service is good and I think recently there are some new cooks as the pizza crust has been exceptional. extremely reasonable prices, delicious, meaty wings and drummers, tasty cheese steaks on great rolls. Now if they would just get rid of the Pepsi and replace it with Coke they would be stellar. great place for kids too.

Worst food I’ve ever had. 32nd Shea has some wonderful restaurants. Do yourself a favor and stay away. Used to be good, but the owner seems to have skimped on quality and service.

Uncle Sam’s cheese steaks are great… but don’t try anything else.
I thought I’d try a stromboli which is rare to find here in AZ as an ex-​east coaster. I walked in and placed an order to go which is also probably a bad idea due to the fact that the person taking my order didn’t listen. An additional mistake is not checking my order and catching it before I left but I ended up with a calzone which has ricotta cheese which I hate. I had two bites and threw it away. The crust is tasteless and somehow the steak tasted so bland outside of that fresh roll. May not be back for awhile.

Remember coming to this establishment when I was young. Pizza and wings are still as delicious as I can remember. We recently visited this location and the service was great. Nice waitresses and the «Meat Lovers» pizza is a must try if you love beef pepperoni ham & bacon! I might be leaving out other meats idk lol ! Great place to go as a family. Small place but the customer satisfaction is there!

Great service, great food. Their SS Special pizza is one of our favorites. We always substitute Capicola for bacon and that combination is much better IMHO. Their patio is dog friendly but the smokers were a little annoying.
A proprietor should not permit smoking within 20 feet of the establishment’s entrances, open windows, or ventilation systems, as defined in the rules by R9−2 – 102. The purpose of the 20 foot rule is to prevent smoke from entering into areas where smoking is prohibited.

I am giving four stars because this place is pretty decent. The hoagies are huge, the cheese steaks are delicious and they have this menu called the Bail Out with mini versions of items off of the main menu, most of which are under $ 5.00.
My last visit was a little rough. We found out they were training new staff so things took a little longer than normal. I chalk it up to just being there on a bad day.
I will be back for more noms in the future.
