Ordered a veggie burger. It’s like it came fro. The 1980’s. Who uses a mushed vegetable burger these days with so many good plant based burgers available? Dissappointing!

About 6 months ago, I ordered a sandwich with chicken and fries for the first time, they were so good that, since then, when I don't have time to cook, I only order from here. delifery fast, the food hot and very good and the man who brings it is very nice and friendly. Thank you . I should mention that I have digestive health issues but I have never had any problems after eating at Uncle Sam's sandwiches. I am very happy and recommend with confidence.

£10 for a large meal deal, with quite possibly the worst chips I’ve ever had. A chip both small & soggy as well as dry. A true feat of culinary skill. Avoid. Horrendous. If you don’t want to work there, leave

I ordered and the lady behind the till had dirty hands and nails. She took my order and told me 10 mins. I went back after and there was a man complaining about not receiving his food the previous night. The man behind the till refused to pay him for it. I got my food and went to eat, they gave me the wrong burger but I thought oh well and ate it. I had a few bites and something was off, the mayo? The chicken? Not sure. I ate a chicken bite, no idea what’s up with it, tasted fishy and off… I decided not to eat anymore as was making me feel ill. I took the bag back in and said it was wrong/something didn’t taste right. I didn’t get a refund so I left it on the counter.

I usually love Uncle Sams and have done for over 30 years. I hadn't had one for ages. We had just spent 7 hours in A&E so I was super hungry and stopped here on the way home. I was so very disappointed as there was something not right with the burgers. They tasted exactly like the ones you get from the fair or the odd car boot. Nothing like flame grilled beef at all. It didn't stop there as the chilli sauce was definitely not Uncle Sam's chilli sauce. It was like a way cheaper version. Overall extremely disappointing 😞

Made an order from uncle Sam’s only for two people two burger meals. Both burgers turned up wrong completely different to what was ordered. Both drinks were wrong and there was no milkshake. When I called up after trying a few times. I finally got an answer to someone who gave me a number which turned out to be the same number that I’d already called on, I was then ignored and hung up on until eventually, I received an answer to no one talking. I stated that I’d placed an order and had been trying to get through. At that point. He then hung up on me and declined every call after that. Ive now been left with no food and highly frustrated, I must say the customer service was appalling as someone with autism this was really difficult to try and resolve on my own and the response that was giving was rude, never experienced something like this in my life. Utterly disgusted.

Was queuing after paying for my burger today and the guy making it hawked like he was going to spit in it. It wasn’t like a sniff or cough it was like a full blown flem hawk. I wasn’t the only person who looked horrified so I may not be the only one to make a comment today. That was enough for me! I just said that was f…ing disgusting and walked out. I’m not judgmental and I’m not raciest but that was wrong. I used to live off uncle Sam’s before relocating now I won’t go near there.

The guy does not pay his drivers on time and makes out that he doesn't have any money when he drives top of the range cars and then talks rubbish about his staff on the phone and in the store which a lot of customers have seen and heard. I feel sorry for the drivers. One chef, Raj, goes on his phone then doesn't wash his hands before handling raw meat. Please guys do not eat here or work for him there are better places to work for or have food at in Worthing. I know drivers who have not ever been paid and some still waiting for the wages to come in drips and draps when they have blls to pay and families to provide for. No sane person would believe this a suitable way to run a business and keep any employees. Just Eat / Uber Eats / Deliveroo etc. Should consider removing this establishment as it will cause them to have a bad name also.

Had a chicken burger last week and thought it was slightly chewy and pink inside when eating it. Wasn’t quite right so I threw the other half of the burger away… Only just recovered from being violently unwell with food poisoning all week. Absolutely awful.

Too unpredictable. Acceptable at the best of times. I have been overcharged by £8 in here previously. Tonight, they got 3 out of 4 burgers incorrect. We had to build our own burgers to correct the mistakes. At £28 this is really not good enough. I ordered in person and couldn’t check the order until I got home. The place wasn’t even busy. If you want a decent burger, don’t order from here.

Poo. Usually order from Lancing VIA JustEat but thought I would try UberEats, couldnt go with Lancing store, so had to settle with Broadwater and it was absolute poo. Mozzarella sticks were COLD and mozzarella wasnt even melted, only got 3 instead of usual 4. Milkshake was wrong size and wrong flavour. Burger, the bun was grim, cheese wasnt even melted, was like eating a slab of cheese. Absolute let down. Broadwater store can get in the bin and take the food with them. 💋 xo

On Saturday night we placed an order for the whole family. The place was really quiet. The order was very large (over £90) & when I made a joke about it being all for just me they didn’t get it at all (not an issue) but looked absolutely disgusted at me!!!! I collected the order & went home (a 5 minute drive) & giving everyone their food, we realised we had two large milkshakes missing. We thought never mind & would give the store a call after dinner. As we all started dinner we realised that it wasn’t the normal quality & that the food was a mixture of burnt, stale or just missing food & drinks. Just to top it all off too it was all cold. The food was inedible for everyone so it went in the bin, and those who received their drinks had those. I called the store expecting it to be a straightforward apology & replacement food or a refund but spoke to someone from the store who kept forgetting what was even wrong with the order & didn’t know what to do. I assume they were new so asked if I could speak to someone who could put through a refund. He went off the phone & could hear him speaking to a colleague who very bluntly put there was nothing they were going to do about it & it wasn’t their problem. The person on the phone then came back to me & said they couldn’t do anything & to contact Just Eat, then apologised. Just Eat are being less than helpful as they don’t do refunds, so I just wanted to warn anyone thinking of ordering from them. If you like 2 shreds of lettuce in your wrap, crunchy burgers, burnt dry chips & an imaginary drink though, this is the place for you!

It's a shame uncle Sam's is so poor now. 20 plus years ago it was the best burger ever. However this Worthing branch had a seriously money grabbing owner who would water down sauces and charge for extra salad. The veggie and chicken sandwich are horrendous quality now and the double dipping of the chips is just another level of tightness. Even if they gave 50% discount I would not use it because it's not worth the calories with disappointing beige, bland food.

Rude 'Manager' a few weeks ago who ignored us for a few minutes for no apparent reason & then went to serve someone else who had just walked in, despite knowing we were waiting. Today we couldn't buy in the takeaway, had to order online yet unable to order certain items on the app, I was willing to substitute a veggie burger for extra veggie bacon - I think they added just one extra rasher so that & £3 delivery charge added on is a rip off. Food was over 30 minutes late, phone line disconnected so couldn't even ring to find out what was going on. No apology for lateness, food was stone cold & god knows what happened to the bun - it was ripped in 4 different places. Gave our number to the driver to pass onto the Manager to speak to him about the issues, but surprise surprise he hasn't called. Won't use again.

I originally placed an order with deliveroo who not only delivered my meal late and cold but without my drink it took delivery half an hour to deliver my meal when the restaurant was less than 5 minutes away. The takeaway company was not interested in helping me and regardless of it not being uncle sams problem they offered to help me with a fresh meal and a drink and extra fries to make up for the inconvenience. Uncle sams is amazing and I can't thank them enough for delivering a tired hungry person's meal and being so understanding.
