“ Great meal. There's a reason Uncle Sam's has been a staple of North End since forever. Burger is juicy and flavourful. Fries crispy and fresh. Milkshake is well worth getting. Delivery in under 15 minutes. Phenomenal. Keep it up! ”
“ This is just a very small takeaway with a few seats to sit inside if you want to. The key thing about uncle Sams burgers is that they seem to be of a much higher quality generally and definitely more delicious. I've been going for years and recommend the chilli burger. ”
“ I have been coming here for too many years to mention! Food has remained superb, all freshly cooked to order and very tasty. All Star meal is my go-to with a garlic burger for afters! If you like it hot have a chilli burger, and believe me it's hot!!! Here's to many more years of Uncle Sam's in Portsmouth. ”
“ Just had my first Uncle Sams in years. Bacon burger, fries and a 7up. Chips were nice and hot. Burger was so flavoursome. ”
“ We travelled from Eastleigh to Portsmouth today (a 48 mile round trip) just to visit Uncle Sam's it's that good. I've probably visited most of their shops as when I want a burger and a triple thick shake I make straight for the nearest. Unfortunately they never had the apple pies today but I'm happy to forgive that as long as they restock soon. If you have never tried Uncle Sam's then make it top of your list and you will never go near MC Donald's or burger king again. ”
“ Uncle Sams is the place you go when you fancy a Burger King but done right. Flame grilled burgers, dressed properly, not drenched in cold mayo in an actually toasted bun for texture. Very good. ”
“ Burgerlicious..racked stacked and PACKED FULL OF FLAVOUR GREAT JOB TO THE CREW ”
“ Omg the food is good here! Can't fault it. Hot and tasty burgers, chips are nice and crispy and hot, lovely thick milkshakes full of flavour. (Puts BK and MacD to shame, they aren't what they used to be.) Quick friendly service and great vegetarian selections too. Prices are reasonable, nothing bad to say about Uncle Sam's. Just wish there was one a bit closer to home, our closest one is a 20 drive away. ”
