Garbage

by W4hl

This place dosn't hold a candle to Peppis on the North side.

I got a steak, and the meat to fat ratio was about 80% fat 20% meat... GARBAGE / White Rubish Subs.

You people need to go to peppis for the best sandwhiched in town...

Impressive Subs

by theneilbmtc

I recently went to Pittsburgh for the summer, and being a Philadelphia native, I was a little skeptical when people described Uncle Sam's cheesesteaks as "Amazing". I decided to give them a try. I had half of their famous cheesesteak and half of the Italian Sausage Sub. I must say I was not impressed with the cheesesteak, it lacked that Philly touch and I don't even think they had whiz! However, the Sausage Sub was very good and the fries complemented it well. I suppose the cheesesteak is an adequate substitute until you've had a real cheesesteak, and is likely the best in Pittsburgh. The other subs I tried while I was in the city were impressive as well.

• Pros: Most of the subs, fries, quick service
• Cons: Cheesesteak

Packed around noon lunch, and for good reason

by awesomefabulous

Uncle Sam's (in Oakland) is my favorite place to get a cheese steak in Pittsburgh. The atmosphere is also fantastically old school and the portion of food is hearty. If you avoid the expensive soda you can stuff your face with amazing subs and fries piled high with Frank's and ketchup for under 6 or 7 bucks. Love this place. Some complain about the wait time but that is to be expected from a place that makes everything when you order it, nothing here is sitting around. If you don't have a lot of time to waste at lunch go a little bit before noon or around 1 to avoid the crowd.
