I love this place. All of the subs are excellent. My experience has always been that they get your order right. I personally like to call ahead for take out best. It’s ready in 15 – 20 minutes even on a Friday night at 6pm! For take out you still get a generous portion of freshly fried French fries! Just make sure you have cash– they do not take credit cards! There is an ATM right beside the entrance.

Delicious subs! Lots to choose from. Quantity and quality for a reasonable price. Gets crowded around noon. Better to go earlier or later. Great place for subs!

I would probably choose Uncle Sam’s over Primanti Bros any day. The subs are much tastier and filling here, but at the same time they are not overly greasy or messy like those at Primanti. If you get the options with lots of veggies or meat, you’ll get what you want. One sub plus free fries will definitely fill you up for less than $ 10. And speaking of the fries, I actually consider them the best part. Crisp, thin-cut, and not at all soggy. Put them in your sandwiches if you want to, but I prefer mine separate, and they do that right here.

You get what you pay for. Their fries are excellent… thin, crisp and hot, and their submarines are alright, a bit on the dry side and basic for me personally(I like the meat in my pepper steak subs to be a bit more juicy and more cheese).

Just what I wanted… Great Italian Special Hoagie! The cheese fries were awesome too! So far the best hoagie I’ve had in Pittsburgh.

Best cheese steak I have ever eaten. Had the ultra with mushrooms and peppers. Bread is good, and the steak is not overly greasy or salty. Fries were crisp and cooked nicely also. Tables were clean. They brought out the subs to us.

RUDERUDEPEOPLEATCOUNTER. Brian is very rude and the young girls are rude too. Very expensive and just okay subs. If you do take out, you don’t get fries. Only if you eat in. For $ 2.09, you can give fries… esp when there are little kids there. RUDEANDNOTWORTHIT!!! Better subs around here! And nicer people too!

Uncle Sam’s is an awesome, cheap sub shop with throwback wooden chairs, free french fries if you’re eating in, and classic brown mustard bottles for your table!(Mustard trumps Ketchup all the way!) My boyfriend and I eat here a lot on summer weekends especially, since parking and walking in Squirrel Hill is so gross during the winter. The subs here are fairly simple with plenty of vegetable toppings, and I never leave feeling sick from overly greasy food. The friendly staff also wrap up any leftovers you may have, which is a great service to offer! It cuts down on the mess of everyone doing it themselves, and it’s super convenient when you’re a pixie like me and can’t always finish your entire meal.

This is definitely our favorite sub shop in Pittsburgh! The quality of food is way better than the Oakland location. The staff is friendly and professional! They also accommodate my boyfriend’s vegetarian request to segregate his sub from the other meat subs on the grill.

Maybe I am just a hater for all subs that are not Jimmy Johns. But I find these subs to be just okay. However, they could have just been over hyped and so I wasn’t blown away by them when I first tried. I’ve tried the cappicola and philly cheese steak. Like I said, they were good but not amaaaaaazing. One great perk tho is that if you sit and eat inside, you get free fries with your order. Also, if you’re considering Uncle Sam’s you should check what the special is for the day. They have different deals everyday that are really sweet deals! Another tip is that they only take cash! I know this particular location has a PNC bank/ATM right next door but for those that don’t have PNC, they also have a generic ATM inside.

50c on soda refills and free fries with your sub but only if you eat in. Uncle Sam’s is about nickles and dimes and the food’s quality doesn’t justify. Every sandwich has a healthy dose of lettuce, tomato, an onion, but the spongy bread is too sweet. Sometimes the Italian tastes overcooked or old, like bad prosciutto. The steak is gray and bland. My go-to is the portabella, still my favorite after years. Ketchup on the trash can door and rickety dining room tables and chairs. The back half is depressing and the window-ed front half cramped. Atmosphere at Sam’s is as thin as the service. Come for lunch and an afternoon of shopping on forbes avenue maybe followed by a film at the manor, but it’s tough to justify with great pizza at Aiellos just a few blocks down Murray.

Sometimes you just need some meat in your life. Sometimes, as a college student, you try to save money and avoid buying meat. Sometimes, you lose this battle and end up at Uncle Sam’s. I ordered a cheese steak sub($ 7.44 including tax) to go. It was delicious! They actually put a decent amount of cheese on, and the lettuce, tomato, and mayo were put on in balance with the rest of the sandwich. There are other sandwich choices that looked good as well, and the sandwiches are made pretty fast. The workers were super nice, and I will definitely come back to try out more options! CASHONLY!(PNC is on the same block, there is an ATM in the store, and Citizens is over 2 blocks.)

Every sandwich I’ve ever had there was delicious. The people are nice and the service is fast. Cheap too.

I go out of my way to go here for not only the food, but the workers too. Everyone is so friendly. The food is always great and now that they know my taste in foods, they will try to make me a sandwich to my liking without me actually ordering it. They have never failed me. The workers love their job, always laughing and they get along so well. It feels like a family atmosphere when I walk in. They don’t take credit cards but they now have an ATM in their establishment. You used to have to walk to a bank for cash, but now everything is under the same roof. Can’t go wrong with their food and their waffle fries(special order) are so good.

I would eat at uncle Sams subs once a month at max. It’s fine every once in a while. The Subs are greasy, and there are no free refills. NOFREEREFILLS!!! Be aware before you go if you plan on getting a refill it will set you back 50 cents! The best part of the restaurant is the fries. If you want a delicious grilled sub, go to peppi’s.

My husband and I ate here once because we had heard so much about it. We both ordered the ultimate cheesesteak. The prices are very reasonable. For two cheesesteaks, a ton of fries and one medium drink, it was under $ 20 for the two of us. The cheesesteaks were delicious, very tasty. What bothered me was the bread. It seemed liked any generic bread you could buy at the grocery store. This is not a chain restaurant and it is known throughout this area, one would think they would have better quality bread and fill them up since the food didn’t fill up the roll they gave me. Also, the fries, you could tell they just came from a freezer bag. They weren’t terrible but they weren’t amazing either. All in all, the price is right and food was tasty but it’s not the best hoagie I’ve ever had, nor do I think it’s anything super special. We might go back and try a cold sandwich instead of a hot one.

Everything a sub place should be. Perfect fries. How many other places can you honestly say that about? Its always too oily or too salty or too big. But never here at Uncle Sam’s! Uncle Sam’s special was hearty enough to feed both of us — fresh bread, plenty of LTM and yummy steak & cheese. Warm and filling. And fast too. Love it. Only complaint was that the tea was obviously forgotten about during the brewing process… too bitter. Not sure if that’s my texan southern tea high expectations talking though.

My go-to place for a good hot sub in Pittsburgh, and another great place for large portions at decent price. Favorite is the cheesesteak with mushrooms and an extra egg on top. Fried egg on a sandwich is a must, especially this sandwich. The bread is more chewy than crusty, but for this sandwich it works well because the bread sucks up all the juices but doesn’t get soggy. I’ve also tried their potato and egg sandwich. Really simple, but it tastes so good and satisfying. For some reason all of their fries(classic fries, waffle fries, sweet potato fries, etc) taste so good. They’re fresh, crispy, and nicely salted.

Eyed this place from the library across the street while I did some research and stopped by when the library kicked me out at closing time. The good reviews on Unilocal sold me. Wish I had just been a good girl and gone to the grocery store like I planned. Decided to «just get some fries» from Uncle Sams. Felt the rumbly tummy even while I was eating them. Seriously? From fries? Not going back.
