Years ago I tried an Italian beef sandwich at a shop in Portland. It was so good. Since then I have tried them several places and been disappointed. I tried it at Uncle Sammys today and it was delicious. Flavorful and plentiful. I had the fries with their house made fry sauce, all was really good. I’ll be back! Plus the staff was really nice. Give them a try.

We recently enjoyed a company lunch at a food truck, and everyone at my workplace was thoroughly impressed by the homemade chips, tater tots, and Philly cheesesteak sandwich. But it gets even better! Wow, wow, wow! Having lived in Eugene my entire life, I had never tasted a sandwich quite like that before. I opted for the Philly cheesesteak with a BLT, and my taste buds are still tingling. I will definitely be back for this delicious sub! They were super fast as well!

Holy moses this place is good! I'm from the East Coast so I feel equipped to judge a good philly. This place is legit. Where do they source their bread??? It's like I'm back at college, it's maybe 2am, and I'm ordering a delicious, hot chicken philly. Except I remember this sandwich! Amazing combo of pepper Jack and the hot cherry peppers. Not over sauced like many places do. Each bite was so full of flavor. I ordered the middle size and I could have finished it, but I saved half for my husband because it was so incredible. Tots were great too! Perfect amount. They are generous with their dipping sauces. Fast, super friendly service. Very fair prices too. I will be back bc I should try that Buffalo Chicken sando. Thanks Uncle Sammy's!

Best sandwich I’ve eaten. My job takes me all throughout Oregon in Washington and I work with several restaurants and eateries, so I’ve had a lot of sandwiches in my lifetime. I can safely say that without hesitation I would drive hours for this sandwich. An added bonus is the friendliness and customer service I’ve experienced from Cory and staff. If you are within 100 miles of junction city, you owe it to yourself to come eat here.

Awesome local sandwich spot! Stopped by Uncle Sammy’s in Junction City and was seriously impressed. The Fire Philly sandwich was packed with flavor—perfectly grilled meat, melty cheese, and a soft toasted roll. You can tell everything’s made with care. Service was friendly and fast, and portions were big enough to keep me full for hours. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area!

I was raised just outside of Philadelphia, so I’ve got high standards when it comes to Italian subs—and let me tell you, Uncle Sammy’s absolutely nailed it. The Italian sub, paired with their homemade chips, tasted just like home. The ingredients were super fresh, the bread was perfect, and every bite brought me back. The owners are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they put heart into what they do. If you’re in Junction City and want a real taste of Philly, you have to give this place a shot. Uncle Sammy’s is the real deal!

Got the Buffalo chicken sandwich and it was damn good. The fries and fry sauce were good too. Tasted like something I could've gotten from a local place growing up in Buffalo. The guy who was working was friendly and the food was done fast. Only (minor) qualm is that the sauce could stand to mixed into the chicken better, a spicier option wouldn't hurt either. Absolutely recommend if you like a good sandwich.
