Uncle Sams

Whenever I’m in Brighton, I make sure I head to Uncle SAMs at least once! The burgers are soooooo amazing! The milkshakes are not too bad either! Please open one up in Croydon!

Quick. Cheap. Tasty (ish).
Not how most people would want to be described, but Uncle Sams delivers what you’d expect and not much more.
A friend and I were whizzing through the area in need of a quick bite before an appointment and this was a welcome stop off. A cheese burger meal and a bacon burger meal (with fries and drink) for just a tenner. I’m in. They are also super speedy. I received my order within 5 minutes (I timed them) and that was with 3 other food orders ahead of me.
Taking no pride in their presentation my burger was rather hastily slopped together, but that gave it a rather reassuring freshly made appearance in stark contrast to the artificially uniform burger fare of more famous fast-​food chains. In my haste to eat, the cheeseburger barely touched the sides. But there was no need to linger as the taste was so-​so.
There are a small number of tables if you fancy a sit down. If you want to drop in and pick up an order there are a handful of parking bays or you can nick a residential spot round the back. There is one toilet which is a bit shabby, but it has disabled access.
If you’re after your bog standard burger and chips on-​the-​go then this is certainly worth your custom. But if you’re big on burgers, then this doesn’t quite cut the mustard.

I’m fond of Uncle Sams. I can get a very good cheeseburger meal for just £4. I haven’t ventured to try the other meals they offer (or their chicken nuggets), but I assume that they are all of the same quality as the cheeseburger I get. The burger is made fresh, and this is reflected in the taste. The only negative I have with my meal is the flat cola I get on a consistent basis. I usually go here once a week, and each time I hope that in the week that I was gone, they fill up the CO2 tank so that their pop isn’t so flat. But it’s been 4 weeks, and it’s still the same. What just dawned on me is that I’ve been to this Uncle Sams for 4 weeks straight, and have only ordered the Cheeseburger Meal. I definitely need to vary it up next time.

It is easy to say if I am going to get burger and chips and my favourite chocolate milshake I would go out of my way to go here. It is a little more expensive then normal burger shops but I could happily eat this every night of the week.
Everytime I get an Uncle Sam’s I am well happy with what I get and although not gourmet, it’s one of lives little treats that you have to have if only infrequently for people who want to stay in shape.
It does have a good range of other products that you would normally find in a traditional local take-​away and even vegetarians would enjoy the selection of vegetarian burgers that they offer.
