Uncle Sam's Classic Subs

Uncle Sam's subs are delicious and filling. There's a bit of different styles they prepare, and all that I have tried are good. This location is a little less clean than others, and the interior isn't particularly remarkable. Regardless, it's still a great option if you need a scrumptious and filling meal.

Good God, I'm convinced you can't get a better cheese steak anywhere other than Uncle Sam's on the face of the Earth. I had the Ultimate Philly Cheese Steak and it was absolutely divine. The flavors of the mayo, fried onions, mushrooms, and especially the steak meshed perfectly. Best sandwich shop in Pittsburgh hands down.

Great food, very friendly people working there. Good cozy place. It's a few bucks more than subway, but well worth the extra cost, much fresher ingredients. The bread, the meat, the lettuce, it's all just fresher and better. Perfect fries, like not soggy or burn or anything, just perfect. And they give a good amount of fries. Definitely recommend.

I really wanted to give Uncle Sam’s at Pitt a 5 star rating since their subs are really very good. This is the best cheesesteak in Pittsburgh since few (VERY FEW) places in western PA know how to make a Philly cheesesteak anywhere close to what you’d get in Philadelphia (and since I spent my childhood a short drive from Broad Street, I know what I’m talking about). The negatives here for me are they don’t give you fries with a take-out order but do with eat-in, and if you want to use a debit card (you can ONLY use a debit card since they don’t accept credit), you’ll be charged an additional 99 cents for the transaction. Some people have noted the establishment is a bit greasy and run-down looking (it is), but I don’t mind. The quality of the product is good and seriously, you should see some of the cheesesteak joints in Philly; Uncle Sam’s is spic n’ span by comparison. Their chicken cheesesteaks are really good as well. Staff were friendly and quick with my order.

I decided to give this place a try after reading all the great reviews, and I WAS NOT disappointed. The cheese steak was excellent in every way. I also got a truck load of (delicious) french fries with my meal. This is definitely a belly buster, and not something you would want to eat every day; however, these guys are legit.
