Quick info
About Uncle Sam's
Uncle Sam's is a fried chicken takeaway at 31 Lewisham Rd in London. The chicken is sold by the piece, and customers choose which piece they want. Wings come as flat wings or drums, which lets an order be built around a preferred cut. Burgers and burger meals give the menu a second main option beside the chicken. The fries are cut thicker and come with peri peri salt. The shop is open daily.

Customer Review Summary
Fried chicken is the main draw, with reviewers calling it tasty, spicy and crisp, and one preferring it to KFC. A few like being able to pick which piece they get. Peri peri chips come close behind and are called delicious, while another reviewer praises thicker cut fries that are crisp outside and soft and fluffy inside. The burgers, chicken strips and a biggest burger meal with a chocolate milkshake also get mentions. Several reviewers say quality has slipped since the owners changed, prices rose and the shop rebranded, and one singles out the hot wing recipe as having gone downhill. One reviewer describes getting dry side breast and centre pieces when the server chose for them. Another reports raw chips and pink chicken, with no willingness to put it right, and one reports food poisoning. One diner who asked for all flat wings was handed all drums.
