Uncle Sam's Restaurant

I’ve probably ordered the pizza here in excess of 50 times, my favorite being the Philly Cheese Steak pizza (depicted below). Their pizza is par excellence the best around the UT campus, and their other menu items are good too (the fried pickles, for example). If you’re visiting, you’d do yourself a disservice if you don’t come down and get something from Uncle Sam’s. The inside is always clean and relatively quiet, even when busy, and the staff is friendly considerate. 10/10 would recommend.

PLEASE disregard any negative reviews of this place. My mom moved to Knoxville six months ago and has yet to find a good pasta restaurant. We wanted to find a nearby option, so we decided to try this place and were blown away! The owner took our order and confidently said, “If you don’t like it, I’ll pay for it,” which immediately put us at ease. The food arrived hot and fresh, and we devoured it so quickly and we still had leftovers! The owner even showed us around the kitchen and we were so impressed with the freshness and cleanliness of everything. Coming from someone who works in the service industry, this kitchen was truly impressive! Needless to say, we’re already planning our next visit before I fly back home. Also, try the cheesecake! It’s worth the calories, I promise! ❤️😂

The owner is super friendly and works so hard to make this place the success it is! Uncle sams is clean (especially for being in the fort) and has great Italian food! We love their specialty pizza -- specifically the chicken Alfredo! I also highly recommend popping over to the coffee shop next door to which is also owned by sam! They are great places to study, eat, or chill!

Pizza was delicious, very cheesy! Me and my mom also got free drinks since it was our first time here! Though there was something in my sprite… overall the food and service was good.

I walked in with no real idea of what I wanted for dinner but was told by a friend to try this place. Sammy, the owner greeted me and made me the most delicious, hot chicken alfredo with fresh mushroom and spinach that isn't on the menu. And it came with really fresh hot breadsticks on the side. He said they've been in business for 3 years. How did I not know about this place? I'll definitely be back with friends. Try them... you won't be disappointed and may become addicted. Thank you Sammy...
