I'm not sure what took me so long to try this place but... it's definitely on the rotation of go to places. We grabbed take out a couple times in the past week and a half. Philly steak- tender, seasoned well, good meat to bread ratio Chicken sandwich, cooked perfectly, still moist. The pizza was spot on, it's Greek style so square cut. Love the crust, good amount of toppings and sauced perfectly read more

I've never had a bad meal here. The prices are reasonable and you can't beat the service. Absolutely love their onion rings. Yum to the 10th degree. read more

Great place for lunch (highly recommend their foot-long meatball grinder; it's my go-to!). Decent prices, quite close to the DoubleTree inn in town. Do check it out! read more

Great food and service! Cute homey place where everything was freshly made! And the portions are quite generous!! The burger was great and the onion rings were fabulous!!! You can tell the meats and cheese for the Italian combo sandwich were so thick and fresh. Everything was so great that we returned a second day for a light meal! Chicken tenders were amazing and not greasy!! Oh and the lemon cake was fabulous...creamy and moist!!! read more

It's just unprofessional to bill me out an hour before close when I'm only half way through my meal. Pizza wasn't anything special. F this place. read more

Great food at an affordable price. Soups are made daily. Always good quality food. Also known for their shoestring onion rings.

Uncle Sam's never disappoints. They offer a very nice selection of grinders, burgers and seafood. I highly recommend putting them on your list of restaurants. read more

Always satisfied and prices are great ! Service is awesome Always friendly and fast ! The owners are always on site and treat us like family read more

A mild mannered yet delightfully thick crust. Cheese is good. Sauce is mild. Sausage was bigger pieces and good! What stumps me is how soft and pallet pleasing this pizza is with a potpourri of only mild flavors all around. Nothing really stood out as exceptional. Id categorize this as party pizza. Totally would eat 3 slices easy but far from gourmet. It's a fluffy nice comfortable pizza. Solid 4 stars to not skew a friendly staff packed place's rating Update- it just hit me... it's like Pizza Hut w out all the buttery grease. Think of it like Pizza Hut grew up and is in her 30's now read more

I love this place. It's such a comfy, chill spot for lunch or dinner if you are looking for a quickish bite. We stopped here for lunch and it was pretty empty most likely due to it being close to 2pm. For starters we had fried mozzarella and an order of the onion straws (an absolute must!) I had the Texas burger and my mom a chili cheese dog. Both were good and food came out quick, our waitress was a little distracted and I had to get up to ask her for a refill. read more

Stopped in the other night for dinner w/ the wife. She ordered a Fish & Chips dinner, I went with the pasta ravioli w/ ricotta. I also had the pasta fagioli soup with my meal. As with our previous visits, everything was tasty. Solid meals at a great price, we're regular patrons of Uncle Sam's, but it's been a while since I wrote an updated review, so I figured I might as well do so. read more

I got the Texas burger before visiting the shooting range down the street. I've had plenty of gourmet burgers but this one really hit the spot. I'm from California, always loved the western bacon cheeseburger from Carl's Jr. and I've had the SmokeShack from shake shack out here. This Texas burger was better than either and was more satisfying than some gourmet burgers. It's got a nice ratio of well but not over seasoned meat to soft bun, fresh crispy onion rings, and perfectly cooked/crispy bacon. Was really glad I stopped by and glad they were open during this COVID crisis read more

All you need to know is: Onion Rings (which are strings rather than rings) and a Fish Sandwich. It's like a Filet O Fish on steroids...and delicious. read more

One of the worst pizzas I have ever had. Wish there was a minus rating. Fried fish and fried clam strips brought in frozen from some distributor, must be really cheap because they taste old, more coating than fish. The clam strips seem nothing more than clam juice and dough, fried up with a few rubber bands. Nothing fresh here! read more

I've driven by Sam's for years and it's always busy. Stopped in tonight for the first time and will definitely be back. Portions were great and the food was yummy. The staff were all super nice!!!! Great hidden gem in Bristol! read more

Excellent food and great customer service! Their Beef and Lamb Gyros and Chicken Parmesan are my favs-- the Fried Chicken Salad is also very good. The prices are also great. read more

Came after a great day at Lake Compounce. It was very close, which was nice. Got there in 5 minutes. At 7:00, we ordered, and our waitress was so nice. Note: it was very quiet- maybe only 3 people in the whole restaurant. Unfortunately, it took over 25 minutes for our food to arrive. Disappointing on a slow Monday night. The food was just okay. But, a very extensive menu and unique options. Large portions on some items as well. Not my favorite though. read more

Just tried this place for the first time last week. The owners say they're famous for their onion rings, and I could see why. These aren't your typical onion rings - they're thinly sliced and lightly battered and pretty delicious. Just add a little salt, and you're good to go. Also had some pizza, which has a crispy and thick, but not too thick, crust, lots of cheese and toppings, and it's all a great price. Actually, I'd say all the prices on Uncle Sam's menu are fair. Definitely recommend it if you're in the Bristol area. read more

Great place, my mom would always take me here growing up. What makes me crave Uncle Sam's specifically is their famous onion rings. Greasy fried goodness lol hey you gotta treat yourself to it sometimes, but i highly recommend their steak grinders with roasted peppers. They are BIG so beware when you purchase a large. But overall this place is good. read more

Uncle Sam's Restaurant - TOO GOOD - Pizza Near Me - Bristol, Connecticut

Every time I have gone to this restaurant I have had a positive experience. Their staff is friendly, polite and very accommodating. There are very few restaurants in this area who have the combination of good food, service and you always feel wlecomed. Not too mention they will go out of their way to prepare items for me which are special requests not included on their menu. With that being said my favorites are the greek gyro salad , the cheesesteak and the tortellinis when Cliff brings those in for me =). In my opinion this is the best place to eat at for lunch and dinner in Bristol. Definitely one of my favorites! read more

Excellent food, great service. Pizza is always delicious. Decided to go with a meal on our last visit. I ordered the (fried) seafood platter. For the price, it was a large order and nicely cooked. The only thing that prevented me from giving 5 stars was the beer selection. They need to add a few dark beers to the list. Otherwise, everything else was fantastic. We will definitely be returning soon. read more

Decent pizza near work. Living in the New Haven area, and working up in Bristol, it is nice to have a change of pace from the NH style apizza. Uncle Sam's is our go-to pizza place near work. Good greek-style pizza, with a good amount of sauce and not too much cheese (and the cheese is not under-cooked, which I like). I've never had anything besides pizza here, but the kids have had the fries and they are pretty good. Service is quick and friendly. read more

Been back to uncle Sam's numerous times since my last review. Just popped in a couple days ago and couldn't have been happier with food and service. Pizza was fantastic as usual. The restaurant is always clean. People are always friendly. This place is a gem! read more

Great food pizza is good to love the soups and hamburgers are great on a nice roll Anna the owner with husband are nice always hi one of the best in Bristol read more

The food is consistently good and prices are more than reasonable. This is a good place to get lunch or dinner especially if you work at Espn. There's nothing overwhelmingly special though. The inside seems dreary but the staff is accommodating. Nothing really jumps out at you but the food is good. It's a very convenient alternative to fast food at pretty much the same price. read more

Tons of great food here! They have awesome shoe-string onion rings, the house dressing is homemade and great! Service is always fast and nice and prices are fair. I recommend the Greek salad, gyros, and the buffalo chicken sandwich. read more

I'm so glad this place is right around the corner from my office. I get take or eat in there about once a week. I have had just about everything on the menu. From salads to burgers, grinders, lasagna, soup, seafood, pizza and have yet to have something I would rate lower than a 8 on a 1-10 scale. The portion sizes are big and you can't beat their prices. I hate to give away my secret but their buffalo pizza is the best buffalo pizza you will ever have! As a mechanic who's always one the road eating burgers I have to rank their burgers as my top one or two burgers off all time. But I rarely get one there because everything else is so good! Gotta love to mom and pop restaurants! Go there you won't be disappointed. Best lunch around! read more

Not a very good experience tonight. Waitress pretty much threw each plate she brought out. They must deep fry everything in the same grease because the fries and chicken tasted the same (no taste - no matter how much salt I put on fries) and then she couldnt be bothered to bring a to-go container so I could bring the disgusting chicken grinder home to my dog - which is probably best he wasn't subjected to it - bad enough I was. My tip reflected my awful experience. read more

This was my second visit to Uncle Sam's, and I've got to say that my first time was far better. That was for dinner, and the meals are mostly Italian style, very large portions, and very good quality. Yesterday, I met a couple of old former co-workers for lunch and the experience was like night and day. Our server was fine, she wasn't the issue. Each of the other guys asked for a glass of their favorite beer, and she took our order for an appetizer of calamari. She returned a few minutes later to say they were out of BOTH beers, AND calamari. OK. Stuff happens. They each ordered a glass of another beer, and we ordered a plate of hot wings instead of calamari. Again, she returned to our table apologizing profusely, saying they were out of wings AND those beers on tap. ******** WHAT?????? ******* At this point, the absurdity of it just made us laugh. O-KAAAAAY. So......no appetizer, and Heineken and Bud light in a bottle. I had told these guys about what a great meal I'd had the first time I came here............I shoulda' kept my mouth shut.... Jimbo and I ordered a fisherman's platter, while good ol' Steve was smart. He asked for a simple cheeseburger. It quickly became apparent that the "clam strips" (which were more like clam crumbs) and "fish fillet" (the kind that are coated with batter, and more batter than fish) had become old friends inside the freezer. We should have known better........ Lesson learned. Steve did say his burger was quite good, however, so there was a very small amount of redemption there. It became clear to me that: (1) Don't brag about a place 'til you've eaten there more than once. (2) This restaurant is far better suited for dinner because the food is better, and by evening the beer and food delivery guys have made their rounds. I averaged out the number of stars between my first and second visits here. Four for my first time, two for this time. I'll likely return, but it would only be for dinner, and I'll not be bragging about the place in advance. read more

Staff is very friendly and the food is delicious. The chicken orzo soup is always very tasty. I haven't ever ordered anything here that I haven't enjoyed. The buffalo chicken tenders are delicious, the onion straws are to die for. I usually order a pasta dish and those are excellent as well. The garlic bread with cheese tastes better than I've gotten at some other pizza restaurants. Whenever I visit this restaurant, I always feel welcome and at home. read more
