    Honestly this is the best place for foodies and no one is leaving this place with hunger! What an amazing place 😍... the interior is really retro old school American. The service is done with the biggest smiles and very familiar. And the food o my God what can I say ... you can only eat your plate when you're truly starving.. full plates nicely decorated and the taste of each bite reminds me of the States. I recommend you to go and try this out and I'll promise you .. you will go back for more

    If it is not the best burger I have tried in Belgium is definitely on my top ten (and I have tried many πŸ˜‚) the flavors of the meat, the curly fries, the nachos all were delicious!!! Definitely a keeper

    Very nice theme and good food. Also very friendly waiters. Cheapest meal on the menu costs 17,5 EUR during my visit, so not very cheap. Still worth 5 stars though.

    Uncle Sam's American Restaurant ROCKS!!! If you don't live in or near Oostakker, do yourself a favor and take a drive to Uncle Sam's. The interior is themed and cheerful. Some of the decor, especially outside and in the toilets was very clever. The people that own and operate the resteraunt are very friendly and inviting, they were super sweet! And the food... oh the food... We started with a appetizer sample plater, which I recommend as a whole, was very tasty. Everything on it was delicious, but the battered onion rings were the star of that show, they are some of the best onion rings, by a mile, that I have ever had. The outsides were golden and crispy, the batter, almost airy, and the onion inside, was moist and slightly sweet. So good... like, really, so so good. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich, which is common in American diners, and was happy to see that they served it with cole slaw right on the sandwich which is how it is made in most bar-b-q joints, along with cheddar cheese, tomato, and jalepenos (if you don't like spicy, I think they would probably leave them off if you ask). The pork itself was really good. It was all served on a roll, that was delicately crisp, but very easy to eat and maintain the ingredients in the sandwich, which can be a messy sandwich. I was very happy with my choice. My sandwich came with a side of curly fries, that were yummy, corn on the cobb, and a side of cole slaw. The cole slaw was pretty good, the sauce was on point. I loved it. My partner had the rib-eye steak, and it was cooked very good and was a nice cut of meat, it also came with cole slaw (a bigger portion than mine, which made me jealous), corn on the cobb, herb butter and regular fries. I had to have dessert, and they have a very nice selection, but I had noticed earlier that they had root beer on the menu, and I haven't been able to find any for a very long time. When I was young, I remember going to the A&W for chilli dogs and root beer floats. So I asked the grand lady of the restaraunt, if she would make me a root beer float for dessert. She kindly granted my request with enthusiasm! I could feel my cheeks turn rosey and I almost cried of happiness as she went to make my float. It was heaven. I can't stress enough, run, don't walk, to Uncle Sam's. RUN! Now! Git going!

    The atmosphere, service and food are fantastic. It's a little pricey but I think it's worth it. Just a small detail, most of the photos that are identified here as "Empire State Burger" are wrong, this burger lives up to its name and is a huge burger with 6 slices of bread and lots and lots of meat. It is something that not everyone can eat.

    Honestly the food isn’t that great. It was difficult to eat the burger. The only reason I would come back is for the American diner experience. The staff is dressed up according to the theme of the restaurant which is awesome. I love how the place is decorated. We will return for another try. 😊

    I went with my boyfriend for lunch and we had a wonderful time. The place is nicely decorated and the food that they serve is delicious. Don’t miss out the Milkshakes. The lady that took care of us was really nice too. For sure we will come back.

    Food was fabulous, service exemplary and the interior was a jump in time to another continent

    5 stars for the amazing interior, the warm welcome and friendly service. This place is quite unique in its genre here in Belgium. That alone is worth a visit. However, we rate the burgers below average, except for their price tag, which is way up there. The cocktails didn't really inspire us either. There's a lot of room for improvement there... The curly fries, union rings and chicken tenders were amazing though. So all in all, mixed feelings.

    As always the food was delicious, portion were super big and the loaded fries with pulled pork were my personal fav!

    Lovely and unique place to eat. Very friendly service. The size of the portions are American portions, still found a tiny spot to eat dessert. Will certainly return in the future for a fantastic expierence!
