This place was average to me. The staff was great and nice. Food was just regular nothing special. They do have a big menu with lots of food items. I got a pizza which was good. Overall if you are looking for something to eat then you can go here but it's just average nothing amazing. Once again staff was great though. read more

Holy Crap, they don't even serve KY Jelly with the food!!! They should because their prices are a rip off. Been going there for a long time and their prices have always been high yet their food is ok. Recently you they raised their already high prices to even higher. On a different note they charge their employees for uniforms and I recently read something about them getting money from Arizona, somehow. Not the best pizza, subs are decent but daaaaaamn, highest prices for food. Their coupons are a joke too. It covers the tax so you're really not saving any money or getting a discount for going there. Suggestions---find another place to go to for about 50% less. read more

*** Update**** Received a call from the manager after my review posted. He offered me a $10 credit to remedy the situation. Went back and ordered a pizza, wings and fried shrooms. Even got a text this time when my order was ready! Much better experience this time around. Pizza great as always, fried shrooms were great, even include the shrooms! :) very pleased with their response and customer service to fix a bad experience. Trying to support the local places during these trying times. Ordered online and got our pick up time. Unfortunately we waited an additional 25 mins once we got there for our order. They seemed busy so I could let that go, but it was a long to wait given we had a specific pick up time. The pizza was really good, crispy thin crust, cut in squares. Wings were good. Salad was tasty and fresh although it seems overpriced for the size. The biggest disappointment was the State of the Unplatter. It was supposed to a variety of fried goodness. What we got was a box of burnt batter. There was no cheese in the cheese sticks and I never saw a single piece of zucchini in the mess. Fries probably would have been good if they weren't burnt to a crisp. Quite a waste of $10! I would probably return for the pizza but wouldn't chance ordering anything else. read more

First time visit yesterday. Was with a friend very familiar with this place. The menu was huge, so my friend recommended the Italian grinder. He said "trust me, only get the 1/2 size" This thing I ordered was enormous and absolutely delicious. From the meat to the toppings & bread, it was total perfection. As long as we were there, I ordered a 7" sausage & pepperoni to try out as an appetizer. Again, excellent! I was so impressed by the quality and friendliness or our server, I ordered a 1/2 Philly cheese steak to take home. What a great sandwich! I had it for lunch today . I popped it in the oven for a few minutes and it was exactly what a Philly cheesesteak sandwich should taste like & perfectly blended with green & red peppers. So.... I'll definitely be back, but with so many choices on the menu, I'll order 1/4 size sandwiches of a few. This place has been around since 1980. It's obvious they know what they're doing. Really REALLY good! What a find! read more

Just wanted to pop in and say we are so glad this Uncle Sam's is right around the corner where we live. This place is "FANTASTIC " and the Staff is " AWESOME" Can't say anything bad about this place. "Always Clean" Especially During this time of Covid -19. Staff are wearing masks, gloves, and keeping the 6 foot distant and keeping customers like us "Very Very Happy" Bobby and His Crew are "Outstanding, Friendly, and they All Work Their Fannies Off." You couldn't ask for a Better Team than this." Bobby is Always on Top Of Things and Never Never Has There Been A Bad Meal and Service." Have been going there for a long long time and plan to keep going there. Bobby and His Crew need to Be "Recognized and Acknowledged." " We Love Each and Everyone of Bobby and His Team" Sincerely, Victoria & George McGavin read more

Wonderful place to visit they have both indoor and outdoor dining options as well as of knowledgeable staff and reasonable amount of options the atmosphere and staff are what really sets apart this New York pizza joint from the others prices may be above the local competitors but truly worth it read more

Uncle Sam's - Pizza Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The vibe of the place is cool. Cozy little bar and restaurant with a lot of tvs for sports. Now let me say this was our first time and we went for the food not the bar. We ordered the steak and cheese hoagie and the Philly cheese steak fries and a personal pepperoni pizza. The prices for food were ridiculously high and they like to advertise their cheese steak.... The "steak" is basically frozen steak-um meat and had a ton of grease. I should have know it wasn't going to be good when they asked to put lettuce and tomatoes on a "cheesesteak". The fries were 21$ for a large portion, it was just more fries and more steak um oil meat with this white mystery flavor liquid cheese. The personal pizza for kids was the best food and that was at best a little better than a frozen pizza. Maybe going for drinks and atmosphere and or maybe other menu items, but as far as anything labeled "steak" from here, do not get. Service was alright *IDK ABOUT ANY OTHER FOOD ITEMS, but it seems a lot of bad reviews due to the quality of their food. read more

Awesome awesome awesome, betta than Philly! When in Phoenix stop at Sams on Shea and 51. Love love love Uncle Sams. Go when there is a lay-off game, the place rock n rolls! read more

We've been coming here for 30 years, was sadly disappointed the last few visits but last night was just bad. Got takeout and had the worst cheesesteak. We've had the same order every time, mushroom pepper cheesesteak- they forgot the mushrooms and peppers and there was only cheese on one half. The steak was burned and tasted like grill and there was a hard piece in mine, I assumed was pepper but after spiting it out was part of the steak, looked like bone? Bad experience when they leave off 3 of the 4 ingredients. read more

Uncle Sam's is that place I always think of when i'm in the mood for a Grinder or great Hogie. They seem a little pricey for a full size sandwich but let me tell you these sandwiches are fantastic! Soft white bread that is piled high with your selection of meats and dressing that makes the mouth water just thinking about it. These sandwiches are made with pride and care and are not to be likened to a Subway, Fire House or Jersey Mike's Speedwich with inferior ingredients. You can barely get this mound into your mouth. Their wings, White Pizza, and array of New York fashioned eats kill. The beer flows easily here and the menu is pretty vast and will suit almost anyone's needs. The restaurant is nice and fashioned with plenty of TV's to catch your favorite sporting events. Being right off of the 51 freeway at Shea lends to easy access and provides a quick way to get on to your next venue. They have been around for years and are a staple here in the valley! This is among my first choices when it comes to having an incredible bite when I'm craving a sub. #Irishcatv2 #Vino2 #Vino2ultimate #vinosquared #rebelfoodandwine read more

My dad use to take me here all the time and the food is great as well as the atmosphere. My dad passed away this week and I place to take my son here for the first time so we can have that special moment. I'll be coming here after his funeral to enjoy some wings for sure. read more

We order from the 32nd St location almost every week. We typically get the Italian hoagie and the grilled chicken breast salad. The grilled chicken breast salad is definitely worth the money and the Italian hoagie is tough to beat anywhere in the valley. What I appreciate the most is when I call in they can remember my order and they are always so nice and friendly when I come in and know me by name which makes me feel really good. I would highly recommend Uncle Sam's to anyone who wants a quick to go at home type of sandwich or any other item on their menu. We totally love the customer service we are provided with when we go in and pick up our order it's like We are family which is an amazing feeling. Thank you Uncle Sam staff I am sure you will see me next week. read more

If I could give negative stars I would. Terrible food and management. Our server was super sweet so nothing against her. My boyfriend and I couldn't even swallow our sandwiches and we still were charged full price. They didn't compensate anything. The "manager" we spoke to was rude and condescending. The wings were ok... The ambiance was awkward. No music playing at all. I think this place should just close down for good. read more

We ordered a 14" cheese and meatball $24 for what tasted like a Red Barron frozen pizza. Might have been good after a late night beer festival, no probably not. Sorry we have no reason to return. read more

We hadn't been at this old favorite in many years and had been wanting to go back so gave it a try tonight. What a horrible mistake. Everything was inedible, except maybe the fries. Got the Italian Grinders and to break it down, like my photo, the meat that was supposed to be ham and salami was the worst quality, with a funny chemical taste and we removed it immediately. The lettuce was brown and soggy, the tomatoes were tough and the cheese tasted fake. Even the veggie sticks they threw in were brown and wilted. But most disappointing were the wings; we like hot but these were uncomfortably hot and had a strange flavor. We ate one of a dozen and it all went in the garbage. Pass this place by! read more

Uncle Sam's - Grinder - Pizza Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Love love love their steak, mushroom and cheese sandwiches. Haven't been in a while, since going keto. Went in today and the lady behind the register was awesome! I asked for sandwich without bread and she was very helpful. I was prepared to order the sandwich and discard bread when I got home, because I didn't want to be "difficult". Some restaurants are not as accommodating or make you feel odd for making such a request. She even gave me a couple different suggestions for my order. Thank you! read more

Uncle Sam's - Steak, mushroom and cheese with shredded lettuce.(no bread alternative) - Pizza Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

If you are COVID adverse do NOT go here. There is a sign before you enter saying mask wearing is up to you. That should've been our first clue. As Yelp says, staff do wear masks but they were wearing them around their neck not covering their nose or mouth. They do NOT social distance filling booths of people basically shoulder to shoulder not leaving any booths open even when they can because the place was not full. Service was very slow. Steak sandwiches were very good. The manager or owner was having a coughing fit with no mask while he was filling a glass at the soda machine. I found all this very disappointing because I was there one month ago and felt very safe at that time. This is NOT the case now and I will never return. Too bad. *** Update after owners comments: He states they are following CDC guidelines, well they are NOT. CDC guidelines say that ALL staff should wear masks. The only employees I actually saw wearing a mask were the bus boy and cook. Also CDC says to continue social distancing, this is not done at all. Even though all booths were not all occupied, there was no effort to separate customers in one booth from another. I did not witness any extra efforts to keep customers safe. Also his statement saying nobody wants to wear masks is dead wrong. read more

In town visiting, decided to come to Uncle Sam's based on their reviews for pizza and wings on 4/25 around 8:45pm. All smelled and sounded good until.... after I had picked up my order and made it all the way back to our hotel to realize they gave us someone else's food, a large order of fried zucchini and 24+ wings; we ordered a 10" pizza and 13 wings. I politely called back and before I could even state the problem the lady Debbie admitted they gave us the wrong order. I told her I would come back for the food but asked that they kindly remake the pizza so that it'd be fresh, the manager on duty, Paul agreed to remaking our order. We made it back in about 15 minutes to get our food. Upon checking the food to make sure it was right, the pizza toppings were burnt and at this point the whole experience was ruined. I told Paul the food and experience was not up to the standards I was expecting based on their reviews nor was it the food I ordered. Paul then stated we are not allowed to give refunds but we can issue you a credit. I told him I'm not from Phoenix, I'm from Denver and likely would never be back. He said refunds are at the sole discretion of the owner and when I asked to get in contact with the owner he said he's not in the facility and is unreachable at this time. Basically, all I can say is don't waste your time or money! Maybe some of you have had better experiences but this is not acceptable and now I'm out my $26 and still hungry. I'd give zero stars if I could! ‍ read more

Uncle Sam's - Burnt pizza.... likely just reheated and not remade - Pizza Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

If I could give this place zero stars I would. Where to even start. The service was very slow. We sat for 5 minutes waiting to order after she said she'd be right back. They refused to alter the calzone at all. When it came out, calzone was 95% ricotta cheese with hardly any topping at all and I couldn't even see any sauce. They charge you extra for ranch. The French fries were just frozen ore ida French fries you can get at Walmart. At least the kid liked her pizza. I will say the pizza and wings looked good that others had, but I would not come back to find out myself. read more

Got a very bad cheessteak yesterday and they wouldn't credit me a substitute. Very bad Management.i even told them I'd bring the sandwich back to no avail. I just thought it was me, but tried another bite today and still chewy and fatty. read more

The shift manager told me I complained to much? After eating here for 10 years I know what the food should taste like. Try cooking the cheese steak fresh like you use to do in 1999. You suck and your food sucks. There are better places to go where the management are not azz holes. Pay back is a bitch. read more

Came back after many years away and things have changed. The food wasn't quite as good or as much as I remembered.. The prices were a lot higher compared to what we pay at home. read more

I wanted a basic pizza that was better than what the chains could deliver and that wasn't trying to be authentic, brick-oven pizza from ye ol' country. The crust was perfectly normal. The cheese was delightfully inoffensive. The marinara sets the bar for good. The pizza whelmed me. It surprised me how well balanced it came out with my pizza toppings: pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, black olives, and jalapeños. Definitely need to added to the specialty menu. read more

That awkward moment when you realise that you get what you pay for. I actually use to really like this place. Great happy hour. Good flavors on the wings. I guess the awkward part of it all is that I'm not 23 anymore and my expectations are higher than they use to be. Like tonight, for example. I placed an easy order of happy hour wings and a brew. Well... no. I got a full order. When I informed the server ( young red head with tats behind her ears and plugs) that I only ordered a small order of wings, she offered to get me a box. I figured this was so she didn't have to get management involved with the switch or what not, despite my eager suggestion. Needless to say, the evening continued. I eat one wing... literally one! A cockroach walks onto the bar. It was small and may have been a beetle, but still... ew! ! There goes my appetite! Words of advice. If you do decide to come to good ol' Unc' Sam's, wear protection. Serves with mediocre at best. The gals working there are 12, so I don't expect much I suppose. However, the Peoria location is much better and cleaner ( it seems like). I'm only giving two stars because of the cheap beer and the decent wings. Not good!!! Just decent. I think the beer helps. Long story short. If you have a party and want cheap cheapness... well then you've found... omg... an other cockroach just walked up on the bar! Are you absolutely kidding me!? Im seriously about to freak out and walk out. I don't care if I haven't paid. This is embarrassing!!! DO. NOT. EAT. HERE!!! read more

Just not "all that". Pretty much bar food. A yelper recommended this place as being the BEST cheesesteak in town. Sadly my cheesesteak ... was .... well ... just a pretty good cheesesteak. I guess I don't know how you can screw up or enhance such a thing so I don't know what I was expecting. The atmosphere is straight up sports bar and they seem to dress their waitresses in "Hooters-esque" tops ... not my thing. Not a bad place ... just "there". read more

I have always had good experiences with this place. Before ordering this last time, I looked at the reviews and got cold feet. But I decided to go ahead with my large steak, mushroom, peppers, and cheese sandwich and side of fries. I was not disappointed. It is a HUGE sandwich, overflowing with meet, cheese, peppers, and mushrooms. I really enjoy how big the sandwich is. It can feed my family of 3 and still have some leftover for lunch, if I don't get too crazy and try to finish it off myself. It is hard to resist because it is so good! The side of fries was a box full to the brim. They were still hot and crispy when i got them home. I've also always had great experiences with the staff at this place. They are all always super friendly. I don't eat here very often because (let's be honest) it isn't the healthiest option. But when I do want a gigantic tasty sandwich, Uncle Sams has never let me down! read more

Poor service during a non busy time of day. Very inattentive server and still kept forgetting items. Bills were hastily served as to usher us out ASAP, bills were delivered on mini trays and even then two bills were run incorrectly. Upon trying to correct the mistake, I was treated as if I was being difficult. If you go here, good luck on your service. read more

This place has just lost its way. No longer a fun place with great staff. Management is mediocre and not customer focused. The food is just meh. Nothing like it was 3 years ago. You can't blame everything on the pandemic so best get it together or you'll have no more customers. I myself am done. 3 consecutive bad visits and never going back. Not worth the money anymore. Prices up, quality of food lowered. Sad, it was my go-to spot for wings. Oh, if you are eligible for military discount you will not receive it on wings. read more

For a vegetarian they have great options, the pizza, fries, fried zucchini, salads, veggie hoagies/grinders are all outstanding, BEST FRIES I'VE EVER HAD THUS FAR NO LIE. Even friends and family that eat meat always say that the meat options are amazing!!! 10/10 recommend :) read more

There is a few of these around the valley, but none as good as the original one on 32nd St. and Shea. We stopped in for a late lunch bite after my Sons track meet. I ordered a Sams original toasted with some cheese fries. Wife ordered some wings and a small pizza. Son ordered a larger pizza and he was tickled to know they had pineapple! After a short wait out food arrived and we dug in. My new favorite grinder is the Sams special, I think that's what it was called. Lightly toasted and packed full of goodness. The fries were average, but good. The wife's wings did not disappoint either. Her small pizza was mediocre and seemed to be missing something. The sons 10" pizza did not disappoint as well. He quite enjoyed it actually. All in all, it was a good experience with good food and good service. If you're in the area and jonesin' for some goood bar food or an awesome grinder, look no further than good ole' Uncle Sam. read more

Have lived in the neighborhood for more than 29 years and on the last two years I have seen this continuously decline in this establishment. Food was always good but since COVID their food has been erratic some days great but mostly poor. Tried again last night but again disappointed. Two full steak and cheese and large order of frys $55.00. They told us 15 minutes we were there in ten and the sandwiches and the frys weren't right and cold. read more

This place is a mess. I ordered a lettuce wrapped salami and provolone sandwich (suggested by staff). I received a plate with a few slices of salami over very little shredded iceberg lettuce. Huh? I asked for the cheese and the waitress returned with ONE slice and informed me I'd have to pay for extra cheese. What happened to making appetizing plates, presentation, and satisfied customers? It was my first and last visit to this restaurant. I'd recommend passing on it even if you're starving. read more

The customer service here is atrocious. Uber eats completed delivery without one of the $16 sandwiches I ordered. Then Uber eats doesn't answer the phone when I repeatedly try to call. (They'll have their own separate negative review). So I instead try the restaurant to see if there is an alternative avenue to address my missing sandwich. When I was connected to the male manager, he rudely told me that my order was complete when it was given to the delivery driver. To my follow up question where I incredulously asked if he was implying the Uber Eats driver untied my bag and ate my sandwich, his smug response was "yes he ate it, or dropped it, or gave it to a homeless person, I don't know, but you'll have to call him." I was flabbergasted. I told him that's the exact kind of treatment that leads to negative reviews. He couldn't care less, and practically dared me to write the negative review. So ugh.... here I am. This place sucks. And now you see their response. Further reason not to order from these guys. It's highly doubtful that the driver opened up my delivery bag and removed my sandwich. What is instead more likely is that the sandwich was simply overlooked and not included in my order. However instead of accepting responsibility for this, they pass the blame, and treat their customers rudely. Don't subject yourself to this sort of treatment for mediocre food!! read more

One of my old time favorites after coming out here in the late 80's. Very friendly service. Great sandwiches, pizza, wings and other yummies. You can see the open kitchen when you enter. Nice! We start with a baker's dozen of honey BBQ wings with a side of suicide sauce. I like the Italian grinder with sweet peppers and the wife gets the cheese steak with green peppers and onion. Can get a little noisy when really busy. Several TVs on the wall to watch sports. Try to get there early for lunch or at off peak hours and request to sit up front in a booth. read more
