With great sadness I find myself having to write a 2 star review for Uncle Sam's. We started being regular customers around 2000 at a former location in Scottsdale. Each meal was fantastic! Quality never varied. When they closed this location, we only made it to the Shea and 32nd St. location 2x a year when we had business nearby. We savored that treat for days before we went. The last time we picked up food to go was near the end of 2016. I always order the same thing: Steak and Cheese sandwich (with peppers and onions and mushrooms) and a side order of fried zucchini. I noticed that the steak had two or three inedible pieces of gristle. Since it never happened before I cut them some slack figuring they just got some bad meat. Everything else in our order, the stromboli and zucchini remained excellent. So yesterday we found ourselves in the area and ordered takeout for a Saturday night feast. Shockingly, I ended up WITH A PILE of gristle I had to pull and spit out of my mouth! This is inexcusable! This was no mistake but a deliberate cut of cheaper meat. To add insult to injury, they raised prices on their menu about 30% on most things, I keep a take-out menu of theirs and grab a new one every time we visit. The price for my 1/2 sandwich (huge!) went from $8.55-$9.05-$9.99. And now I get a cheaper cut of meat with the awkward embarrassment of pulling gristle out of my mouth at the table. The zucchini went up also, from $5.25-$6.25-$6.50. That was still very good, but many places can do zucchini. We won't be back again. It wasn't a one time fluke. I'm throwing away my menus. A great place down the tubes. Oh, and if you scroll down you will see that others have experienced the same gristle. As always, suspect positive reviews that refute numerous same food item complaints as there are companies that establishments pay retainers to to saturate media with false positives. I knew someone who worked at one.
