Uncle Sam's in Sheffield

It was nice and would go back but I did mention it was for my daughters 16 and nothing happened. Not to worry.

Food is amazing 🤩 service was fantastic

It's an institution that's remained tenaciously more or less the same for 5 decades. Love it.

Hasn't changed in probably 50 years. The food is amazing, the service is second to none and the place (decor) Hasn't changed, even the train still goes round over head 😀.

Really good food at good prices. All the staff were so friendly and helpful. Not been since I was a child, so it was lovely to bring my own children and find that it's still just as good!

Just had a Friday lunch here and it was fantastic. Staff brilliant, food brilliant and prices were a bargain. Highly recommend coming here.

This place is still as good today as the first time we went over 40 years ago. The cheese sauce is legendary. The service is great and the food is amazing. It's probably the same little train, running round the ceiling. Love it x

Great vibe. Top burgers. Decent price.

As always sue and all the team . Wonderful meals for all Suzanne's family on her 65th birthday do . Keep up the fantastic work you all do . As Always you make everyone feel special welcome and cared fof . Thank you xxxxx

Absolutely Love This Place… I brought all 20 members of my family here to tell them all I was pregnant.. love the restaurant and love the staff. Come quite a lot and couldn’t fault it anytime! Thankyou for all your nights of lovely food, best cheese sauce around & Great atmosphere Laura, Joe & Archie

No nonsense American themed diner. You don't last over 50 years without a reason. The food is good and you get plenty of it. The service is good with very friendly servers and the prices are very reasonable. What more can I say. I'll go back next time I'm in Sheffield.

This place is great. 40 years since my first trip for a school mate’s birthday it remains the tastiest hamburger I’ve had. The cheese sauce remains and wonderful mystery and the person who served us may well have been there the first time I went according to her! Great fun and a fixture every time I head to the UK. Thanks!

Always good a for a meal out. Been a few times now over the years and the staff are always lovely. One of the nicest places in Sheffield 🌸

We have been coming here since our children were small. We have done the same with our grandchildren who are now ten years old. It's become a family tradition. We had another lovely meal here today and the standards never drop. The food is excellent and the prices are very reasonable. Nicki always looks after us, and we will continue to come back. We love it. Please don't ever change.

Been going for over 40 years always same top quality. Still going went this week for grandsons birthday.

My first time in Uncle Sam's for years but it was amazing and just how I remembered it. Food and service absolutely excellent. Will be returning again soon. Also, it was excellent value for money 👍🏼

Great place, was quite on the evening we visited ( football was on) excellent food very reasonably priced, staff polite and friendly, had a great evening. Would highly recommend a visit of this well established Sheffield eatery - 53 years and going strong!!

A family favorite since I was young! I now bring my children and we all love it.

Early evening visit. Not really changed in over 40 years, still excellent quality food with American themed menu and American sized servings 😊❤️

1st visit 5 stars. 2nd visit 1 star. Medium steak arrived medium rare..should not drip blood. Fries arrived with 3 bean chilli instead of rice. Assortment of dips left on counter which we managed to retrieve 10 minutes into our meal. Ordered 1 and a half pint of light cider ..served 2 pints. So upset to post this utterly negative review after having had a perfect steak here only weeks before

First time tonight for my sons 5 th birthday Big portions and a value price very reasonable. Staff was great with him Will visit again

Enjoyable and meets expectations!

This place used to be nice for food but it's drastically gone downhill recently. Quality of the food when i visited about a month ago was very poor, even Maccies would give better. The burger was way overcooked, all i could taste was burnt charcoaled meat which was disgusting, chips were overcooked and the bun felt cheap, was falling apart. The prices have gone up considerably given the bad quality food. From looking at the kitchen it appeared the food was being cooked way too fast because of a busy day but that does not mean that quality should suffer because of their drive for greed. Whilst paying at the till, I saw my coke was £2.75 on the bill but on the menu when i looked earlier it was cheaper. The waitress said it was the kids menu which is an easy mistake to make as the 'kids menu' is not that clear when your in a rush to order as it's on the normal menu for adults. The waitress removed the coke from the bill but displayed a patronising attitude and pulling a face at me like an immature child. The kids menu should be seperate to avoid these easily made mistakes which are designed to decieve and trip people up. I will most certainly NOT be coming back to this restaurant. I would be surprised if it survives due to the shockingly bad food and inflated prices!

Always loved this place. Staff and food are first class. A jewel.

Came here for a staff night out, amazing service. The two waitresses were amazing. Great chef and all so friendly. Thank you so much.

Excellence isn't a term I use flippantly, however, I feel the meal and service alongside a family friendly atmosphere the term is totally justified. The sharing nachos to start were crisp, fresh and accompanied by chilli, guacamole, salsa and cheese. The Ribs were perfectly cooked and fell off the bone tasting fantastic! The combination platter of chicken and ribs with sides of fries and sauces was perfectly cooked and our daughter informed me it tasted great. Our other meals were both burgers again both were excellent quality. The service was excellent and we felt very welcome, nothing was to much trouble providing colouring options for our children for entertainment. In my opinion the prices are great value for a restaurant and a great experience! Thank you and we look forward to seeing you next time at Uncle Sam's 👍👏👏

Food not as good as it has been. Feel it's a bit pasted it's sell by date Time for a change

Food and service were excellent, reasonably priced definitely will be going again. Highly recommend the pizza, margarita as a base but can add various toppings to make your own.

My grandfaughter was given a free choice of where she would like to go for her 16th birthday. Out of all the places she has been taken to over the years, she chose Uncle Sams. The service, food, staff friendliness and of course the owner Sue were all lovely as usual. We have been visiting here for 40 years and it still excels. If its not broke don't mend it springs to mind.

We love it here! Lovely staff and great food

Their Mild Chilli Chicken is the business

Another fantastic meal here with family, service the best, food always perfect and the atmosphere brilliant. Top notch service even remember our requests from the last visit. A refreshing change to see a team who enjoy their jobs and are seriously good at what they do. Great prices too nothing is over priced like most places Ecclesall road or town. Thank you

Cheeseburger legendary, smaller than i remember though Staff friendly and helpful The train is still running around the restaurant must have done some miles over the years Very noisy we could not hear each other

One of the best and most authentic American burger joints I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing, I've been going to Sam's for decades and it never disappoints.

Best cheeseburger in town. The runny cheese sauce is delicious.

Been going here since 1971 can’t fault it burgers and or Baltimore chicken

Family friendly and great food. Draught Budweiser, and their homemade chilli is excellent.

Great food & great service as it has always been.

great atmosphere, food was fantastic combined with brilliant attentive service. Booked table of 6, seated quickly to reserved table. Food was spot on, great portions and really tasty. Train still going round which keeps the nostalgia. Thank you - see you soon.

Uncle Sam's Restaurant is an absolute standout in the world of dining, where exceptional customer service takes center stage alongside delicious cuisine. My recent experience at Uncle Sam's left me not only satisfied but truly impressed by the level of care and attention provided by the staff. Upon realizing I had mistakenly ordered the wrong item, I approached the staff with my error. Despite my assurance that I was prepared to pay for my mistake and didn't expect any replacement, the response I received was nothing short of extraordinary. The gracious lady serving me insisted on ensuring that I left not only fed but genuinely happy. Without hesitation, she took it upon herself to whip up a fresh pizza that surpassed all expectations. This exemplary display of customer service speaks volumes about the dedication and commitment of Uncle Sam's team to ensuring the utmost satisfaction of their patrons. It's rare to encounter such genuine care and generosity in the service industry, and it left a lasting impression on me. Beyond the outstanding service, the food itself was nothing short of perfection. Each bite of the freshly made pizza was bursting with flavor, a testament to the culinary expertise present at Uncle Sam's. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Uncle Sam's Restaurant not only for its delectable cuisine but also for the unparalleled customer service that sets it apart. Whether you're a local or just passing through, a visit to Uncle Sam's is an absolute must for an unforgettable dining experience.

We love this place. Everything from the service right through to the food is fantastic. After all these years, it’s still consistently busy which says more than a few words on a review ever will.

Service was terrible, food not served quickly therefore not hot although it tasted fine.

This was our 1st time and I called to book as we were in the area and wanted to make sure there was availability. The Lady was very helpful and I asked about Parking which depends on the time of day so allow extra time after 6pm can park for free on the main road, Nothing was too much trouble excellent service Great Selection of food and Very Reasonable prices Very good portions and came out Hot No Complaints from our table Only 1 small niggle the very large table behind us was very Vocal but would definitely Visit again when next in the area...

Family birthday meal out party of 10 Food was fantastic Staff very helpful and attentive even though it was a full restaurant. Not our first trip and it won’t be the last

Family birthday meal out party of 10 Food was fantastic Staff very helpful and attentive even though it was a full restaurant. Not our first trip and it won’t be the last

Went tonight with my grandson for his birthday, great staff . Very welcoming and lovely and reliable burgers as always. Benchmark stuff

It's been 30 years since my last dining experience at the best place to eat in Sheffield. Best dirty cheesy burgers in town..

Best burger ever. We enjoy a family meal at Sam’s every so often and if you like cheese burgers this is the place to go. The staff are fantastic also.

Amazing place, great food and service. 5 Star

Went for my birthday dinner and everyone was super friendly. Food was so nice too and came out quickly. The lady working was really good with the kids at the table too so we didnt feel like an annoyance when they were a bit unsettled.

Food was great, enjoyed a beef chilli burrito with salsa, sour cream and guacamole, salad and side of chops, very tasty, burrito doesn't have rice in, I sctually preferred it without

Too easy to eat and drink too much here. Good value and great service.

I travelled with my son from Somerset to visit our 92 year old Mum/Gran and to celebrate my son’s birthday we decided to go back to one of our favourite all time restaurants. This place is just so special, atmosphere, originality and of course the absolutely delicious food. It is a small kitchen but sitting nearby I could see how slick the staff are working together with the friendly waiting staff to get food out as quickly and deliciously as possible. They obviously have a lot of pride in what they do and want the customer to have a lovely food experience. No wonder this restaurant has survived many, many years while others on Ecclesall Road have failed.

Family meal for my birthday tomorrow.uncle Sam's is back to it's magnificent best.had the Sam's burger and it was delicious .great service and decent price

I’ve been coming to this restaurant since a was a boy. Almost 30 years and it’s always been exceptional. The best burger in Sheffield and an absolute bargain. I would give more stars if I could.

Been going here forever always brilliant, the food, the service and friendliness

Our family favourite restaurant, great for little kids and even better for older teenagers.

Always a friendly welcome here. Excellent service and fab food 👌

Very friendly staff, and quick service. Pricing is very good and the burgers are nice. Portion size also good. If you want an American style dinner it's a big tick

We used to come to Uncle Sam’s for kids’ birthday treats for years in the 90s and 00s, and only stopped when they all flew the nest. Today we made a family return trip for our post-Christmas get-together - three of those children with their own families, and granny. It was everything we remembered - friendly personal service (meals ordered by guests’ names were delivered by name - fabulous), and they even put on a special menu item that we requested for old times’ sake. And the train is still running round the room! You don’t go to Uncle Sam’s for fine dining, but you’ll find a more than decent menu that includes a great selection of all-age friendly burgers, burritos, chilli, and hot dogs, and the kind of desserts that make children’s eyes pop out when they arrive (try the banana split, or beg in advance of the off-menu knickerbocker glory). The service is everything you could ask for in a family restaurant - organised, unfussy, and friendly without being gushing.

I have been going here for quite a few years now. Excellent food, very quick service, and the food is quick to arrive. The prices are pretty competitive for this sort of place too. We booked in advance. I recommend the dinosaur ribs! Fantastic service by Nicola as always.

It's not Christmas without a trip to Uncle Sam. The bigger burger is worth it..and has to be hawiian!

Lovely food and wonderful, friendly staff. Only started going about 2 months ago, will be regulars from now on.

First time I've been for over 35 years and still the same great experience. A varied menu, food all of really good quality, friendly service and reasonable prices. Even the train is still there!

Best restaurant in sheffield. been going here regularly for at least a decade. best food, best waitresses, best atmosphere and an amazing location and place to eat with family! would 1000% recommend to anyone who loves american-style cuisine!

A real chicken burger with fries. Had Christmas log and coffee for dessert. Love the train that runs round a track above the diners. Yes I would return

Simple but tasty burgers, been coming here for years and the kids always love it!

Always been a great place to get a traditional burger...other great dishes available but I like the burgers

We love Uncle Sam's, we don't come often but the food is lovely. Staff were attentive and fast when we arrived. As it started to get busier, we couldn't get their attention for more drinks, napkins, etc. An extra pair of hands would've made a massive difference. That said, we enjoyed good food, and the kids loved it 👍

Been going here for 10 years, have always felt welcome here and the atmosphere is terrific. i know many of the waitresses by first name basis and the food i would consider the best american diner in south yorkshire! special thanks to sarah and sue

1st time here in many years. Had a burger and chips for lunch. Lovely atmosphere; great service; fab portions; great value.

Absolutely loved this place! Great food and lovely staff (however much they're paid, it isn't enough). Had a veggie chili burger, partner had the Baltimore burger. Floats and shakes were on point. Prices bargain for what you get. We will be back!

Quite generic Diner food, kids loved it. Especially the train running around the top of the restaurant.

The lovely staff at Uncle Sam's are fantastic, we'd booked a large table for my husband's birthday and I couldn't get to the venue beforehand to sort any preparations. The team kindly organised a special cake and balloons and unlike many venues they didn't need pre-orders or deposits. Super low fuss, yet extra special service and great tasty food that everyone enjoyed. Thank you!

We came to celebrate a teenage birthday as a family and this was an evening to remember. I have been before, but no-one else has as it is a 45 minute journey across South Yorkshire to get here. Staff were so friendly, attentive and accommodating. The food was divine, as it always is, and everyone's dishes arrived together. The staff really cannot do enough for you and this is one of the reasons I love Uncle Sam's. Off the back of our visit, members of our party have returned individually and recommended to their friends and other family members, so we are spreading the word - book Uncle Sam's! Back again in November 2023. Food was divine, hot filling and very tasty. The service was second to none. Always a great experience and excellent value. Thank you

Decent food at reasonable prices. Uncle Sam's never disappoints.

Always great food and service. Some things remain constant.

We are regulars here, especially for birthdays and special occasions. Staff couldn’t look after us better and the food is always spot on!

A Sheffield institution - never disappoints.

Absolutely lovely food and very friendly staff. Reasonably priced too. Will definitely be back soon.

Very on-theme decorations, comfortable seating, excellent meal choices and delicious food!

Great food, great service. What's not to like? Definitely be back again. Lovely to speak with the owner and her daughter.

It's been a very long time since we ate there and nothing had changed. Friendly staff, great food.

First time I've been but will definitely be going again,many times

Been going here since the 70’s. Some things have sadly changed over the years, but the burgers are still great! Very beefy, very filling! And the cheese sauce is still amazing (but smaller portions 🥴)

It happened that i went on a very busy day and it was a bit noisy. But even thru that, the atmosphere was very nice, such an american energy from it. The food as well was rly nice. Such a messy burger but delicious ahah 💜

The food and service today was as good as it was in 1976, when, as students, we first discovered the joys of US. Three still very happy, very full people. Just more grey hair! Thanks team US

Food really nice, the staff are very friendly and great service, we was a large group and the food was served promptly. Food really nice and tasty. Would recommend combination platter.

Never disappoints, always top quality and friendly staff.

Honestly the best restaurant in Sheffield proper good food good portions very reasonably priced friendly staff there's a train going along the roof what more could you want try the Coke floats I had mine with vinto

My go to place! Food is delicious and best service ever! Thank you

Have always loved Uncle Sam's since I was much younger until now, to celebrate my 51st birthday. Best nachos I've ever had so it's the simple cheese and jalapeno for me. Always friendly staff and simple but always great menu. Nostalgic? Absolutely, but that doesn't stop it from being just great. Their longevity is a testament to their consistent greatness.

What a wonderful evening at Uncle Sam’s! My sister and I took my niece for her 9th birthday and the staff made such a fuss of her, which was hugely appreciated. They really went above and beyond. The food was also delicious and extremely good value for money. A wonderful evening. We will definitely be back! Thank you!

Went to Uncle Sams last night with a friend. It was a nostalgic visit and very enjoyable. I first went to this restaurant when it opened in 1971, as my friend did. The decor is still the same. The burgers were excellent and the staff very helpful

If you've not been here you've not lived. A must go for all the family. Sheffield would not be the same without Uncle Sams

Go to Uncle Sam's. Nothing bad to say about it.

If you want real American burger this is the place where you want to go highly recommended 😊

Bet place to eat in Sheffield. And has been for many years

Great food, fantastic service. Great American style restaurant. Has been going for years is older than me. But still fantastic. Will definitely go again.

Have been visiting this restaurant for over 40 years and the top quality food and service has never changed. They serve the best nachos ever.
