I went to Uncle Sams on 83rd Street yesterday because one of my friends in my bicycle club recommended it and actually, I had been wanting to check it out for a while anyway so when my daughter was in town from California, we stopped in for lunch.  \n\nIt's hard to figure out what this place is trying to be - a sports bar?, a family restaurant? a deli?  A pizza joint? I just figure that one out.  \n\nWe were there at about straight up noon so you would think it would be pretty busy but there were only about 12  tables out of about 50 occupied, about half just adults, about half with kids (one kid was pitching a fit so that was a bit distracting).\n\nI had a cheese steak sandwich and my daughter had a ham & turkey sandwich, both with fries.  I would give the food a 5 / 10 score.  (OK but nothing special).  You do get plenty to eat so you will not leave hungry but you will leave feeling a little bit dissatisfied about the quality of the food.  I'm not sure what the sandwiches needed but I felt my steak and cheese was a little bland.  The fries were pretty excellent.\n\nService was a 2 out of 10.  Slow, no follow up to check on the food or drinks - she only came to the table to take our order, deliver the food and then to deliver our check - that's it.  \n\nWill I go back?  Doubt it.  Would I recommend Uncle Sams to my friends?  No.  There are just too many other places in town that offer better food, better service and there are places that seem to really want you to come back - this place didn't seem to offer anything stellar at all.
