    Ultra Uncle Sam's Special
    Greg T.

    A lunch favorite when my wife and I go shopping out in Robinson, Uncle Sam's has great cheesesteaks and skinny fries in a casual environment. The counter service style makes it easy as we just walk up, order our favorite and sit down and wait for our number to be called. Our go to, the ultra Uncle Sam's Special, has lots of peppers, onions, mushrooms and tomato along with the cheesecake on a fresh French bread loaf. It is a satisfying sandwich for two along with those crispy thin cut fries. Grab a high seat up front or a comfy booth in the back of the restaurant and enjoy. Love the classic diner feel!!

    Uncle Sam's is a local chain that currently has three restaurants in the Pittsburgh area. It specializes in making submarine sandwiches in a wide variety of flavors, and it also offers some other foods such as fries and salads. My husband and I ate dinner here for the first-ever time. When we first entered the restaurant, five employees were standing at the counter, and none said hello to us. They did, however, promptly take our order, process our payment, make our foods, and bring the foods to our table. I ate a Special-Italian sub, and my husband ate a turkey sub. The subs contained fresh ingredients, but we were not thrilled with their flavors, so we ate only about half of the subs. We most enjoyed the French fries that were crispy and tasty.

    The Uncle Sam's Special Steak sandwich was packed with beef, mushrooms, peppers and onions, french fries were fresh and the cherry cola was crisp all for a very reasonable price!!

    This place is so good and I love when this is dinner. Fries come free if you eat in. Pretty good bottled beer selection and a few solid drafts. The sandwiches are amazing! Soft fresh bread. Each sandwich is cooked to order. If you can sit at the counter and watch them cook I recommend it.

    Wow... This place has AMAZING subs and is popular!! A small group (co-workers) of us came in on a weekday for lunch, but we got there on the tail end of the lunch rush, around 1PM... There was a long line to place the order, but it was impressive watching them manning the grills they had... making sandwiches and subs! I tried their Uncle Sam's Special Steak and it was great... Their fries are really good too, but I heard they're free/included if you dine in. The place was packed, but we still got decent service and enjoyed our lunch. Can't wait to go back!!

    Classic diner feel!

    First time here. Loved the classic diner look. Great customer service. We had a sandwich, and chili-cheese fries, with a Troeg's draft beer, which didn't disappoint. The menu is simple, with salads, sandwiches, chili, and fries, but definitely enough choices, including vegetarian options. Will definitely be back! Of note, they have Coca-Cola products! Bonus!

My husband and I visited this particular DiBella's Subs in Robinson Township one time. Menu items include submarine sandwiches (e.g., salami, ham, turkey, corned beef, tuna, roast beef, capicola, chicken, cheesesteak, meatball, and veggie), salads (e.g., pasta, macaroni, and potato), and cookies (e.g., chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin). For lunch my husband ordered a 10-inch grilled chicken Philly sandwich. After he paid and had his receipt, an employee asked him if he had ordered a different sub, and he corrected her, and then she dishonestly told another employee that he had "changed" his mind. After many minutes, an employee handed him the correct sandwich. Including tax and tip, it cost about $16. The restaurant contained many tables and chairs, but we got the sandwich as takeout. My husband said that he liked the taste of his grilled chicken Philly sandwich.

    Does anyone else remember when DiBella's used to load up their subs with meat?…read more The quality and quantity of the food has really slipped over the last few years. There was a time where you could bite into a DiBella's sub and there would be a generous portion of meat on it. Now? Most bites are just a lot of bread and toppings. I have never had an issue with the service here. Unless you consider not loading up the subs part of the service. Everyone is friendly. Because there is so little meat on the subs, I would now consider them too expensive. On a scale of 1-5: Food - 2 Service - 4.5 Price - 2

Genius! My Hook & Ladder arrived looking like it had been run over by the actual fire truck, soggy bread that dissolved into paste, "smoked" turkey that tasted like wet cardboard marinated in regret, and mayo so thin it was basically flavored air. Portion sizes? Adorable! They must've switched to the "Toddler Menu" when I wasn't looking. And the crew my god, the crew. Every single employee behind the counter was an imported worker, clearly flown in on the "We Refuse to Pay Americans" visa program. Not one local soul in sight! They were polite in that dead-eyed, soul-crushed way you get when your paycheck wouldn't cover a Happy Meal. Orders wrong? Naturally. Enthusiasm? Zero. It's like they hired a call center to assemble subs. Pro tip: if your wages are so insulting that nobody in a 50-mile radius will take the job, maybe, just maybe, pay people enough to live. Nah, too logical. Firehouse Subs: now proudly serving budget bin sadness in a firefighter hat. 10/10 for cost-cutting, 0/10 for literally everything else. Avoid unless you hate flavor and joy.

There was an appetizer that I had never heard of or tried before, so I wanted to try it (similar to a pani puri). I was ordering for takeout, but they said if I wanted this I really should eat it in house immediately because the shell would get soggy and not be as good. I appreciate the tip because I would not have otherwise known that. And I am so glad I ordered it because it was delicious! The combination of the sauces with the shell and contents was a flavor blast. Definitely something I will order again. For the bowl, I did a build your own. They also have pre-designed bowls that might help if you are feeling overwhelmed with the choices. I made mine with white rice, paneer tikka, tiki masala sauce and several of the toppings. The portions were generous and they answered my questions about ingredients and let me sample sauces while I was making my decisions. When I thought about adding something that sounded good, they advised me against it saying it wouldn't work together with what I had already put in (but weren't pushy about it). I appreciated the feedback. The bowl was delicious and filling. I enjoyed every single bite and it was the kind of meal where I was actually sad when it was gone because I enjoyed it that much. I'm not in the Robinson area that often, but I would definitely come back any time I'm around.

We ordered 2 sandwiches at 6:10 PM, the wait was a little longer than anticipated and was ready at 7:00 pm. It smelled mildly "fishy" but it is fish after all. First impression, it did not appear as advertised. It was missing the sauce and lettuce pictured on the website. I took three bites and unfortunately, the fish was hard. It seemed over cooked which may have contributed to the time it took to receive it. The grease also tasted old. The Mac on top was again, overcooked. The French fries were cooked well, but they had so much old bay seasoning and salt it was difficult to eat. I wish this were unique to my order, but I was dinning with three others, all ordering the same thing, and we all had the same complaints. I did request to speak with someone in the kitchen but they said they didn't have time as they were quite busy. The brewery was full and outside seating was also starting to fill so that is understandable. The bartender at strange roots had us write our names on a piece of paper and said the kitchen will refund the meals. I contemplated ordering a burger instead but didn't want to wait again so we did leave to dine elsewhere.

One thing I wish we were told is that there is a surcharge to use a credit card and there was a charge for the salsa. Both those things were a surprise. I love how this place has history. The grandmother owned the Ritz Hotel in Bridgeville and her 7 Up sign from the hotel graces the walls. All the old black and white Heidelberg photos are fun to see.
