124 Dalhousie St, Brantford, ON N3T 2J3, Canada
Authentic southern bbq with over 20 years of experience, serving smoked ribs, chicken, pulled pork, brisket sausage
It's a Cozy friendly place. You can smell the smokin good food. We had the fried chicken, slaw, and chicken soup. Tasted great. Their house habanero hot sauce was excellent on the chicken.
Dear Uncle Sam, we are Very disappointed. We ordered take out for the first time from your establishment as a rib hankering descended upon our household this evening. The ribs were completely burnt and the only flavour we could taste was burnt. See burnt rib receipts below. Not charred, not smoked, just burnt. You can’t be a bbq place and burn your ribs 🤷♀️ 2 stars is generous, but dear old uncle Sam’s mild wings weren’t 1/2 bad. We are also perplexed by the random handful of completely undressed/naked wings that was sent with our order. 🤷♀️ Was that supposed to be the $17 smoked chicken we ordered? It can’t be. 😬😬😬
I really wanted to write a good report but I cant. We where celebrating a 60th Birthday. I bought $90 of BBQ and left a 15 % tip for carry out. I told them the time I would get there and I was there at that exact time. I took my food home as I am a 2 minute drive. When I was home the food was cold and dry. They charge $8 more to add Brisket and it was dry like cardboard. As I said I really wanted to write a good report but I have to be Honest. The meal was a very small step above McDonald's. I love BBQ but I will never go there again.
Service was fantastic!! Food was amazing and huge portions! Good value!! Philly Cheesesteak with coleslaw as a side and pulled pork poutine!
Was visiting from Toronto and was really in the mood for bbq. I found Uncle Sam’s on google so I decided to give this place a shot… and I’m glad that I did. I chose their 2 meat plate with chicken and ribs and decided to add brisket as I was in the mood for it. This all came to about $35 which I thought was going to be a lunch with a little bit leftover for dinner. The portions are so large that I now have a full dinner and potentially some meat to mix in with a salad tomorrow. The taste of the food is phenomenal. About as any top bbq spot you’re going to find in southern Ontario. Everything was so juicy, perfectly sauced, and perfectly seasoned. The lady who served me which seems to be the owner, was very sweet and accommodating. I will definitely be back here next time I’m in Brantford.
The best BBQ in Brantford/Brant area, by a landslide!!! Just came across this gem the other day, and we’ve been back twice already! The food is amazingly fresh, massive portions and an incredibly good deal! Plus the service is wonderful, the staff are so kind and accommodating. They also play great music, I was dancing in my seat the whole time haha. They have daily specials all week long, so be sure to enjoy. We are loving the pulled chicken sandwich and stacked burger, plus the mac and cheese is insanely good!! So fresh, great quality. Come support this awesome restaurant and enjoy a delicious BBQ meal!
I love some good BBQ, this place is near by and so I decided to give it a try. The ribs were nice and soft with a decent amount of bark, the house sauce is good but not my favorite. The ribs were meaty and goodnquality cuts. The Mac and cheese was good. Very soft noodles with a classic mac flavor. Pulled pork was good but not very juicy, and slightly chewy. Fries come with a Cajun type seasoning, which I didn't mind. The side of beans were more of a stew, which I was not expecting however the flavor of it was notnto bad. The shell of the corn bread was a little burnt but still fluffy on the inside so not to bad. We got a good spread to try. The portions are a good size we ended up taking most of it home for leftovers, which was nice. So basically, we got two meals out of the deal. The service was great, and the price was fair. All in all, I was satisfied and would definitely return for some of their daily specials when I'm craving BBQ meats.
The service here is polite and amazing. We entered with a hockey team between games and they served the entire team with speed, without notice. There food was so amazing we recommended to friends and all said how delicious the food was. Highly recommend going. We have been a couple times and recommend all food, but brisket, sausage and corn bread is my favorite.
I visited Uncle Sams BBQ for the first time and won t be last , the smoke chicken with the ribs combo with amazing, the sweet potato fries were nice and crispy, the service was great and helpful, we will be back k soon .
Amazing food ordered ribs & chicken along with some sides everything was delicious. Perfect Sunday night football meal !!
Amazing food! Delicious and generous portions and not to mention great service!
I needed a catering service for our Christmas dinner at one of our locations and got simply the best. They arrived on time and the food was absolutely delicious! Thank you to Oliver and Leroy for everything.
I must say this place, the food, the service, and the wonderful people who work here are a hidden gem and needs to be recognized for the amazing quality. The lovely ladies who work here and the men and so kind and amazing with excellent customer service and the food is delicious and not one complaint with uncle Sam s. They are so accommodating also as I work around the corner at transit terminal and can run there on my break and they have my meal ready and a my now go to downtown! Thanks guys for feeding me almost every evening
Nice staff
Very delicious foods out there, soo good! Customer service is best! Cant wait to try something else next time.
Awesome hidden gem
ABSOLUTELY shocked I went in here to eat food I ordered food I looked in the back the cook was sitting with his feet up on the counter on his phone . The young lady serving was very nice. Ordered my food and while waiting I watched the cook cut up raw chicken then with the same dirty knife cut up my brisket and place it on top of my Mac and cheese. The place is very dirty they have all there knives and tongs sitting in filth together. Good place to get sick and ruin your week ! He should be fired
i am a regular customer. this is the best place in brantford. extremely clean, the workers are very friendly and the food is amazing
Every meal we have ever ordered has been 10/10. We tried the fried chicken tonight and it s our new favourite in town. A great price for fried chicken on Wednesdays!
Service super fast, friendly Food is the best. Love yall Definitely a must try :) fried chicken Wednesday Food : 4/5
Service was fantastic food amazing best ribs in town thank you oslety for helping me !very nice lady
Found the restaurant while googling a place to have dinner before seeing a show nearby. Small location but wow amazing food and service. We had the philly cheesesteak sandwiches with fries and sweet potatoes. The portions are huge so come hungry darling. We absolutely love it. This was real steak grilled to perfection with wonderful bbq sauce, peppers and onions mixed in on a crusty sub bun so the bread was not mushy. Extra sauce on the side. The fries were thick and crispy and a large portion. The sweet potato fries came with a nice sauce on the side. Loved that. We could not finish the fries so took those to go. The service is warm and welcoming. Lots of smiles. We will definitely be back next time we are in town. I was excited to learn there is also a Stoney Creek location. Thanks for a great meal!!
Very bad food. .served cold and uncooked.
Not good. Just got home from there. Food was served cold and chicken was not fully cooked. Totally dissatisfied
Great authentic smoked foods. Clean and great service. Highly recommend.
Great local spot for quality BBQ.
Stopped in here before a show at the Sanderson Center yesterday evening. Staff were super friendly and helpful. We ordered the brisket poutine which came with huge slabs of beef brisket on top and also ordered some ribs, fries, and onion rings. All the food was fresh to order. No complaints at all. Decent canned beer selection as well, maybe throw a few White Claws or Vodka Sodas in there for more selection.
the best food ever ive been to many rib fests and this was my top choice every time greatly recomend
Best service ever, Oslety was so kind and helpful ,thank you so much..and the food was amazing,love it. Thanks
This joint this food wow. This is big trouble for me, I can end up going there everyday. I just love it.
After college, wide variety of options
Excellent BBQ. The kids love it, and I do too. The daily deals are fantastic!
best smokehouse in Brantford everything is good on the menu
Excellent restaurant! Always greeted with a big smile! Food Excellent, everything is really good! Very good specious ones!
Best smoke house in town! You have to try the Brisket Loaded Macn Cheese but everything in that lil restaurant is smoking delicious
Best BBQ in town, big portions. If you like smoked to perfection brisket this you next stop
I am a food courier and have delivered many delicious smelling meals to some pretty lucky people before trying it myself. My partner and I happened to be in the area one night and stopped in to try it ourselves. I was a little thrown off by the pricing but considering the portion size you get a ton of food that even I couldnt finish in one sitting and believe you me Ive been known to eat some buffets out of house and home... Great food! Great staff! Great music! I dont want to step on any possible copyright infringements when I say this, but you definitely Gotta eat here!
I ordered 2 full racks of ribs for pick up with only 15 minutes notice yesterday. They were ready when I arrived to pick them up and they told me there was a special of the day on half racks so they would give me that same deal which I really appreciated. The service was friendly and fast and the ribs were absolutely delicious! Fall off the bone and full of meat and smoky flavour. I would 100 percent recommend them to anyone and everyone! Thank you for a great meal! :)
Dropped in there from out of town, wonderful dining experience, great food, excellent service, will most certainly will be back next time Im in Brantford, thanks
Wow. Great food. Fast service. Tons of food. I highly recommend. Parking: Parking was no problem today Wheelchair accessibility: Left wheelchair outside of bathroom because didn t seem like the door would close if brought it inside. There are no steps to go in.
Amazing food and great service,I will definitely be back .
Great food and super service
Amazing food , always consistent and genuinely friendly service.
I was there for the first time and a very kind girl helped me and helped me choose what to order and I couldnt love it more, thank you very much Oslety
I ordered a bbq box (which includes ribs, whole chicken, sausage l, pulled pork, beef brisket and sides), 2lbs of wings and a couple extra sides...omg incredible! The best bbq I have ever had. My whole family was so pleased! I am so happy to have found this Stoney Creek bbq! The portions are amazing, the staff was fabulous and we will definitely be going back soon and often!
Ordered through skip and upon receiving my mashed taters they tasted . Off I called the location and the woman who answered the phone was outstanding. I ve spent 40+ years in the service industry and this woman s help was so appreciated. The food I ate was excellent. Go..this is a jewel of a place
Best bbq restaurant Ive been to. Looking forward to going back.
Hands down the best bbq in brantford
Best bbq place in town
Every meal I ve received from there has been beyond delicious Highly recommended if you look for some good bbq Food : 5/5
Food was all good!
Grabbed take out on a Saturday night at the recommendation of a friend and we were really impressed. Great atmosphere with friendly staff. The servings were gigantic and so fresh and delicious. The ribs, pulled pork and chicken were all perfectly cooked and well sauced. The chilli, Mac and cheese fries and onion rings were equally fantastic. Even though they d sold out of cornbread, the staff recommended the garlic bread and through in an extra side of delicious coleslaw. Price was really reasonable. We ll be back!
So we ordered for the first time on Saturday as we were having a small gathering of approx 4 adults , 3 teens and a child. I selected the Bbq box combo with two sides and purchased an additional side. First off, I called initially on the Friday evening to to ask which item would be best to feed 6 to 7 adults and I was greeted and spoken to with nothing but one of the kindest attitudes. I regret not asking her name so I could credit her in this review. She even assured me that she would be at the restaurant the following day when I called back to place the order after 11am and would make sure it was taken care of. My husband went to pick up the food later on Saturday at 4pm and was provided with the same amazing service as I received over the phone. Now, the food . Holy moly I was not expecting the love the food as much as I did. Firstly, I love that they cut up all the meat so you and your guests can easily grab your portion, second it comes in solid catering foil pan and lid for easy warming in the oven. And finally every single bite we took from the chicken, to the ribs, to the brisket was smoked bbq heaven! Myself, my guests, including the kids loved it. The fries were seasoned and delicious (not soggy at all), the coleslaw and bbq beans were delicious! I m telling you right now from the service to the food, we will most certainly be back there very soon. To all of you at Uncle Sam s don t change a thing please! Keep doing what you re doing.
Amazing food!! Mouth watering
Oliver and team. Wanted thank you all for your unbelievable job yesterday at the Nanticoke Imperial Oil site BBQ. You served over 600 very happy operation and trade personell. Your staff killed it. Not one unhappy customer. If folks are looking for the best BBQ these folks have it going on. Thanks again see you soon. Cheers.
Best bqq I have had in a long time , very friendly service , definitely will go back I highly recommend , we had the 3 meat and sides , there was so much meat worth the money
I stopped by here for some good BBQ and was not disappointed. The ribs fell off the bone and the chicken was nice and tender, the sauce was great. Food
I have eaten plenty of bbq in my day, from Texas bbq to carolina bbq and I also do my own bbq on a kamado. I had ribs and chicken and it was ok at best, plus trying to a eat quarter chicken dinner with plastic forks that was supplied was absolutely useless. This was my first visit and I feel like I wasted 50 bucks. Will I return? Probably not.
The food is that BBQ experience youre all looking for. Good prices and portions! Food
Food and service was amazing
Great food for the price would definitely would return when in brantford
We should have taken pictures but we were so hungry! We visited Uncle Sam s for the first time today. My wife and I shared a pulled pork poutine. It was OUT of THIS world. The sauce, with the gravy, and the melted cheese curds and crispy fries! We got it with 2 pops and could have probably fed another person! I highly recommend and we will definitely be back to try the next menu item
A must if you love BBQ. The smash burger and ribs are absolutely amazing. The fries are seasoned perfectly. Truly an amazing place. Will be coming here soon.
First time for us. Order for 4 adults. Delivery order thru an app. Not sure which was used, but came in good time. Order was correct. Oh my goodness, we were all raving and very pleased with our orders. Yup, raving. We don t usually think BBQ. It is now our favourite restaurant in town and one of our favourites in general. Lots of meat on the ribs, on chicken. We had brisket, pulled pork, sausage, ribs, chicken. Melt in your mouth. Delicious.The chicken with their bbq sauce was unbelievable good. Tender. Juicy. We all agreed it was our favourite. Holy smokes I said, we will NEVER go to Swiss chalet again! Everyone enjoyed their sides. I had caesar salad and the mac and cheese. Very good. The mac and cheese did not have the creamy cheese sauce like in one of their photos. More homestyle and much less cheese. It could be cheesier for my tastes. But still good. The caesar was very creamy. Very good. We were very pleased with their prices, and impressed with how much we got, and the high quality. My daughter announced this is now our go to/ special occasion restaurant. We didn t even think of taking pictures, we were enjoying it too much! Lol Recommended.
I ve been to about ten smokehouses in and around the GTA and tried Uncle Sam s last week. Hands down the best food and value out of any other place I ve been. Their ribs especially deserve a mentioning for their tenderness and great amount of meat on the bones. Their chicken is easily the best chicken I ve had from a BBQ joint. All sides rocked. New favourite spot in Brantford 100%. Can t recommend enough. Please don t ever change your ways, Uncle Sam s!
10/10 new spot for sure
Was missing a slice of Calgary as Its not too common to come across BBQ restaurants around here. Came across U.Ss in a quick BBQ search and I was super excited to have the food match my expectations. I didnt dine-in so all I can speak on is : Their online order system is a breeze and their service (via phone was super helpful). I always ask for my sauce to be served on the side as I like to have a bite of just pure protein and everything was juicy, tender... The meats tasted good enough on their own without the sweet+tangy sauce - which was good, but I could take it or leave it. So happy to have found this place and i cant wait to dine in eventually. I recommend everything. So Get everything. Grandslam.
Food is always great and consistent. Cant go wrong with the brisket and the best fried chicken !!
Amazing food and customer service!
Our first time here was a great experience.. Looking forward to going back
Wow!! The food was so delicious. We got the Super Bowl box special. My favorite was the pulled pork and the ribs. Its all soo good. I will be back and dine in the next time. Yummo!!
Love it!!!!
Just had our first of many meals here. We werent expecting that much from a BBQ place in Stoney Creek but it blew us away. The smoke they got on the brisket and chicken was superb!! The 1/2 chicken was huge and juicy! Voleslaw is creamy and a huge portion. And the sauce.....omg devine!! You must go. Trust me. Youll love it!
This place is incredible, probably the best bbq place Ive ever been to. I would definitely go again
Good food id give it 6 stars if i could
Excellent meal and service Dont miss this gem! Food
Delicious food, cool staff, excellent portions. I got the Chicken Bowl....mac n cheese, Greek mix, and rice and beans, topped with chicken and BBQ sauce. Sooo tasty and very filling. My son got the Pulled Pork sandwich, which was massive, with great BBQ sauce. Definitely will be back!
You can tell they put a lot of care into what they do. Great bbq sauce, and the pulled pork was so tender. Higly recommend
We got the 2 meat with side and ordered an extra order of sweet potato fries
I recently discovered Uncle Sam s BBQ house. A charming hidden gem. Despite its small size, the flavors here are huge! We tried the chicken wings and half a chicken meal, and it was simply fantastic. The staff were friendly and the service was quick.
I have now dined in twice. I love the BBQ. I think the service is amazing. I wish they had more drink selection. Pulled Pork is wonderful. The BBQ sauce is just right. Coleslaw is refreshing. Chili is pretty amazing as well. Next time I go I will be checking out the ribs.
First time ordering from here. Got take out. Food was amazing. Perfect BBQ flavour, BBQ sauce was delicious. Large portions, and we got a little something extra for our first visit. Thank you so much. We will be back.
Sooo delicious! I loved the brisket
You have to visit this place! Service was amazing. Good incredible. We will be back!!! Don t second guess - if you want smoked food this will be your go to once you try!!
A sleeper BBQ joint that continues to surprise and satisfy. Better than any BBQ outside Slows in Detroit.
Wanted to try this place as you don t come across authentic bbq joints too often. I stopped in for lunch on my day off from work. I was surprised the place was empty as it was during the lunch hour. I ordered the lunch special which was a Cuban sandwich, and I chose Mac n cheese as the side. All in all everything was really good. The pulled pork on the sandwich was tasty, and the bun had a nice crunch from being grilled on the flattop. The Mac n cheese was creamy and was done right. I m eager to come back to try something from their large menu of smoked bbq meats. All in all everything was good and I would recommend you give it a try.
WOW! Im new in town, so it took me a bit to find this place... all i have to say is WOW! outstanding! I didnt catch the name of the nice lady at the front counter but she was a real sweetheart! Food is mouthwatering, like really though... my words dont do it justice, if you havent had this food... you havent lived yet. 100% recommend! Local businesses like this one make me happy to have moved to Brantford. Thanks again!
Amazingggg place to order from for some real comfort foods. We ordered online for delivery. It was fast and price was worth it for sure. The portions were huge we ordered the pulled pork with sweet potato fries. They were incredible and the sauce was so yummy!! We also ordered the smash burger; absolutely the best burger I have ever had and the mashed potatoes were so delicious!! We will definitely be ordering again!! I ve never ordered somewhere and been so happy !! I must have said 20 times after my meal how amazing it was. And I ate the entire thing lol. Never happens. So so good highly recommend!!!!!!!
Incredible value and taste. Now become out weekly order for our game night. Always surprised in the best of ways.
Fantastic place with plenty of amazing food followed by some of the friendliest staff youll ever meet!
Came in for dinner today and ordered the grand slam, highly recommended. Everything was delicious and service was prompt, finger licking goodness. Definitely added some quality muscle tissue after this feast with leftovers to boot.
Food was delicious!! Kids loved the seasoned fries!! Was hot and fresh! 10/10. And the staff were amazing!!!!
A friend and I wanted BBQ so we Googled restaurants in Brantford (as we arent from there) and we found Uncle Sams! We were NOT disappointed, not only was the food amazing but the customer service was just as good! Will be spreading this restaurants name amongst my friends, and will definitely be returning!
Wow, Uncle Sam s Ribs are for real, simply the best! Cooked to perfection, tasty and falling of the bone! Highly recommended, 5 stars!!!
Like menu!
Brisket sandwich is a must, great value and fast service.
Just stopped. Grabbed a chicken sandwich and mashed had a friendly chat while I was served a great sandwich and I will be back 100% reasonable price for a lot of good food
Absolutely delicious!
Fantastic food. Great service. Enjoyed their smoked brisket. So tasty. The dish came with Cuban rice and mac & Cheese. I left the restaurant with leftovers. I ll be back.
The Brisket is A-mazing! But try the fried chicken too! Nice place and great people!
Amazing ribs, and the sauce on them so good. I recommend anyone to come eat here.
Pulled pork was huge and delicious, the chicken fingers and fries were tasty and everything was ready in 10 minutes.
Very tasty,
I hesitate to leave this review because this little secret place might get busy. Once you eat here youll be back over and over. OMG! It reminds me a bit of Freddys BBQ Joint on House of Cards but much nicer and cleaner. The cooks will talk you up. Humble little tables. But the food OMG!! 6 out of 5 stars. Food
Uncle Sams is a very nice,calm environment. I enjoyed the food very very much!
Unforgettable flame-grilled sandwiches, soup, sweet potato frites. Fast service, with a genuine smile : )
We will absolutely be ordering take out again! Food was delicious, portion was large & cost was decent for the 3 meals we ordered!
Great food, great customer service. Had gotten a pulled pork sandwich, and its amazing. Definitely will be back
Had a catered meal by Uncle Sam s at Brant Rod and Gun Club. The ribs and chicken were absolutely delicious. Looking forward to coming into the restaurant for another meal.
Cashier didnt seem very happy but the cooks were friendly :) 15% Laurier discount for staff and students as well! Pulled pork was great & huge. Only wish it had more sauce. Sweet potatoes fries are delicious!
The best food ever. OMG, it s just amazing. If you come once for sure you ll come back. We live in Mississauga and now each time we come to Branford my family for sure is not going to miss this amazing restaurant. My two teenage boys really get feed here with the amazing food and a generous portion, In another words: Food Quality Quantity Sevice Love it all. Thank you Uncle Sam s, hope you open soon in Mississauga.
I was meaning to try this place for a long time! So glad we decided to try tonight, absolutely delicious . I got the brisket sandwich and hubby got the Philly cheesesteak and also tried the beans. The portions are huge as well!! We will back Uncle Sam (my new uncle lol)
O.M.G!!!! Tried Uncle Sam s for the first time tonight and I have to say it s our new favourite place! We ordered BBQ chicken, wings, chicken fingers with fries and onion rings. Everything was sooo good, fresh and hot! We will definitely be back!!
The service was great and we got our lunch fast. The trophies and awards on the counter & wall are absolutely earned. Will absolutely be back and dying to try their award winning chicken
Just left Uncle Sam s Smoke House. Ordered the 3 mean. Ribs,chicken and brisket w mac and cheese and sweet potato fries. Also got an order of beans to go. OMG. Ribs were fall off the bone delish! So was the chicken. The brisket was lip smacking and the sides. Yummo! When we went to Texas be had Texis bbq ribs in San Antonio. Let me tell you this Brantford Gem is 150% BeTtEr! We are already planning what to order next.
Great staff, friendly ppl . Amazing food.
Stopped for lunch, had enough for dinner too! amazing eats, highly recommend.
My brother had went in for lunch and told me about this place. So we went there in the evening. Lots to choose from. The food was delicious definitely will be back for some fried chicken.
Best BBQ in town, with so much variety for everyone. The entire menu is authentic, delicious and from the heart.
Best BBQ we order only order from Uncle Sams now!
The meats are delicious, the sides are tasty, the portions are generous, the sauce is slightly sweet, but you can have it on the side if you like. Takeout is popular but they do have a nice but small seating area if you want to eat in. No fountain beverages are available everything is bottled beverages from their cooler. They do have glasses if you ask. Service was very friendly and we got our food fast. Dietary restrictions: There are good gluten-free choices.
If you have never been here you must go!!! The food is absolutely amazing. Ribs fall right off the bone and the bbq chicken is so good
We LOVE uncle sams! Not only is it affordable for families the food is AMAZING, huge portion sizes (I always have leftovers for lunch the next day) and staff is very friendly and welcoming. My husband tried the fried chicken yesterday and said it was the best he s had!
ITS ALWAYS A GOOD TIME WOAH OH WOAH OH OH WOAH OH OH
We were looking for some comfort food on the first night we moved, ordered a pulled pork sandwich, pulled pork poutine and a pound of pulled pork. Everything was delicious from the pulled pork down to the bun it came on! Only reason its not 5 stars is because in the sandwich we found a small peice of plastic. Dont get me wrong I still finished the sandwich but just a little surprised we found the plastic.
I heard really great things about this restaurant so today I decided to try it out. I thought this place sold hot dogs; which was my reasoning for going in today and they only sold sausages in between a baguette. The lady that greeted us, asked if this was our first time visiting and we said yes. The sausage was okay but the customer service was really disappointing. The lady knew it was our first time and we didn t understand the menu fully. To make a long story short, there was a lot of miscommunication and we left without getting everything we wanted such as condiments. I kept asking questions like can I get the cheese on my sausage and she s like I can put a little bit . If I had to pay for it, she could ve just explained what condiments were included or extra and I would ve paid. We wanted ketchup and mayo on all 3 sausages, we got it on only 1. I really had high expectations for Uncle Sam s, therefore, I just wanted to see and try it for myself. I hope the customer service is better for this reader. Response to owner: As I mentioned above, it s the miscommunication. All you had to do was TELL ME WHAT CAME WITH IT AND WHAT S EXTRA AND I WOULD VE PAID. That s all. We were genuinely confused during the entire transaction. Please don t come after me because you didn t communicate properly.
Awesome pulled pork sandwich. Sweet potato fries were crisp Great Value for the dollar.
Great place Food is amazing 10/10 my go to place for something to eat now
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome BBQ joint !!! Totally worth the money. And you get a nice amount food for your money!! Definitely recommend this place, it is worth a try and to make it apart of your regular take-out rotation.
Great food and great staff, would recommend.
Amazin food and friendly staff
Most definitely the BEST BBQ. It s hard to find good, non-chain places to eat in brantford. SO happy we found Uncle Sam s. I highly recommend and cannot wait to get this for out of towners when they come to visit !
Was craving BBQ, found this place on Google and decided to check it out, we were welcomed with a warm hello and a smile from the server, the food was exceptional! Everything tasted so good, loved the pulled pork! Definetly made the right choice to come here and will be back!
Everything I had here has been A1!!! Today had the smash burger!!!
First time visiting Uncle Sam s Smoke House in Brantford. Right when you get in you re greeted by Lily the cashier, she was very friendly and recommended the proper amount of food for us. We ordered the Grand Slam and a side order of two pieces of fried chicken. I would highly recommend the brisket and my kids enjoyed the Mac and cheese and corn bread. Oliver was very friendly and was the one preparing the food. I would definitely recommend this place and will definitely be back. Thanks guys
Really nice owners, great food and theyre always welcoming.
Holy smokes!!!! This place is great!!! Great Bbq, tender brisket, fall off the bone ribs.
Friendly service and amazing food!!
Folks stay away from the big franchises! Do yourself self a favour and eat some amazing bbq fried chicken burgers they are the real deal great food great value!
I m an out of towner and discovered Uncle Sam s through my niece. It easily rivals Rick s Barbecue in Vegas. I ve had the brisket and chicken and both were tender, juicy and succulent. Large portions. Excellent cornbread and sweet potato fries. The best restaurant bbq I ve had in Canada.
Ordered a half rack combo and a side of onion rings. The ribs were burnt and had very little meat that didnt taste like charcoal. When I took the meal out of the bag and opened it up you could smell the burnt char more than the sauce. I added a star because the fries and rings were good and the last time I ordered I got pulled pork and that was also good. Edit - the staff got ahold of me after I posted this review and offered an apology and replacement meal at my convenience. Great customer service and response to criticism.
In a word Bona-fide. After one brisket sandwich I Gained a solid appreciation for NASCAR, moonshine and noodling (look it up) But seriously best BBQ north of the Mason Dixon line. Food
The food they serve is to die for! Highly recommend!! The best bbq I ve ever tried. We will be back. :)
Delicious
What a great little gem of a BBQ restaurant!! Our usual BBQ place was booked solid, so we gave this a try and WOW! The brisket was so tender, the smoked wings were amazing...the fries and onion rings were perfectly crispy!! We watched the super friendly staff work together busily through a constant flow of orders and cook it up while singing and slinging! We will definitely be back! SO GOOD!!
Great food
Dodd and sauce is fantastic! Best ribs!
Portions are gigantic! Four of us had the pulled pork sandwich with fries and only one of us finished eating it. Definitely recommend and would go back again!
A restaurant with bowls of chicken, pork, and brisket. I ordered chicken. The BBQ sauce goes perfectly with the smoked chicken and is delicious! I thought it was just rice under the meat, but it turned out to be mac and cheese and finely chopped vegetables! You can taste the shock and deliciousness. recommendation!
Great food, generous portions Great spot for BBQ!
Lily great customer service. Remind me said sure, Ill get u an extra space, no problem. Lovely lady wish she worked there more offten. Half chicken best! Must try.
amazing food and pulled pork! worth every penny and sweet potato fries are awesome, not burnt to a crisp like chucks roadhouse! very polite staff too
this place deserves nothing less than 5 stars - great freshly cooked food (try their beef ribs if you ever get a chance), awesome selection of sides and a great tasting sauce! glad somewhere in Brantford opened up. They have a rib truck as well
the Ribs are good I dont like the Chicken Ive made BBQ Chicken mine was better it was just not full of flavor and looked like it was baked. Ill not buy the Chicken again just Ribs. Food
The grand slam should get a name change. Try the strike out. The large sides arent in any way large. 1 1/2 chicken is definitely not what I received. Food tastes really good but the value is questionable. Properly sized sides for a dinner that should feed 4+ people wouldve been nice
This has to be the best place me and my family has ever ate, everything is good and real food, the good food would be good enough to go and eat, but it s the workers that make the place even better.
Its Brantfords summer, somethings smoking in the air. I can smell it, all the way from my lawn chair. This smell, its emitting somewhere from Brantfords down town. I need to investigate, I need to get around. Traveling through Dalhousie (Dal·hau·zee), I knew I was getting close. The scent of barbecue, straight to my nose. After a few sniffs, it finally all started to click. It was coming from Uncle Sams, I better act quick. People in Brantford say, Uncle Sams is the best. Going to try for myself, going to put them to the test. Firing up barbecue Ribs, Chickens or others. Such a vast selection, my heart flutters. Serving those award winning meats, straight from the pit. I can tell by looking, its going to be a hit. After looking at the menu, the family ordered the Grand Slam. Just look at all this food, holy heck goddammm. Included is a vast array of meats, even including two sides. This can feed an entire army, I cant believe my eyes. The meal was spread open (on the table), sweat running down my face. I better cut it out, this groups not the place. Filled up my trough, not once but twice. Money well spent, well worth the price. Enough leftovers, its going to last for several days. Reheat with the microwave/oven/fryer, recook in different ways. Meals so delicious, youd shout out and cheer. What are you waiting for, why arent you here. All this food and rhyming, its been a lot of fun. Stick a fork in me fam, cause now I am done! Mic drop
Great bbq place , I got the pulled pork sandwich with a side of sweet potato fries which was soo good. The sweet potato fries came with a delicious dip to dip them in was like a spicy mayo. The sandwich was huge , enough to feed two people , my friend had the poutine n it looked great as well will have to try it the next time i go
This place is amazing .. deserves a 5+ star rating, and the service is amazing too!! best bbq place I ve had by a mile
tried Uncle Sams @ Burlington Ribfest. It was by far the best ribs out of the competition. The ribs were fall off the bone, with a BBQ sauce that wasnt overly sweet ( Im diabetic) and the beans were awesome too(my husband even says they are better than his moms) I guess we are driving to Brantford next
Ribs are 3 days old and dried up, the worst brisket i ever tasted, chicken tasted liked it was sitting there for 4 days , I do not recommend this place
Garlic pan bread, two meat combo with chicken & brisket. Mashed potatoes and mac n cheese. Snack pack with corn from Uncle Sam s Smoke House on Dalhousie. Mmmmmmmmmm......... This is a great place to order from. Will make the effort to dine in soon.
Amazing place!! Food is absolutely delicious, the staff is very friendly. I went just as they were closing, the gentleman turned the fryer back on. Over the top service:) I will definitely be back soon.
Very tasty food, spectacular attention, especially the waiter Jhonatan, I would definitely go again! I recommend The place.
We ordered 5 meals off Skip the Dishes, and the portions are huge! We have enough for 2 meals. The food was delicious and delivered quickly. We were missing an item, and when I called they fixed the problem immediately and no question about it. They delivered the missing items and added a surprise, and the food was still hot being delivered 25 minutes away. Wouldn t definitely recommend and will be ordering it again.
Been in a couple times now: hands down the best smoked wings and ribs Ive ever had. Ribs are super tender and juicy, the wings are crispy but also have just the right amount of chew, and the flavours of the sauce and the meat are to die for. Excited to try other things on the menu but havent had a chance because the ribs and wings are just too good to not order. 10/10 would recommend and worth driving in from neighbouring cities to try.
I just ordered on Skip and it was so good hands down the best it was so warm and so delicious the pulled pork and the corn bread and the smash burgers oh my god the best thing I have ever tasted they have so much more on the menu. they got the best workers they all work so hard it is so good and a must try and I can wait to get more of Uncle Sams.
Best ribs Ive had to date! Trophies everywhere. Awesome staff. I havent had anything else on the menu because I cant help ordering ribs.
Excellent food! Will be back!
My first time there I had the pulled pork It was FANTASTIC! I cant wait to try the rest of the menu.. Staff was great . This restaurant is worth the drive downtown. A definate hidden gem. Thank you again Lily.
Tried their southern fried chicken meal combo.. its was very good! staff was extremely friendly the whole atmosphere was welcoming. Highly recommend.. Food
This was amazing bbq food, and I would highly recommend it to anyone in the Brantord area. The staff was exceptional and very friendly.
It s not often that Brantford gets a true gem for dining out, and I was surprised by how amazing this place is. The ribs are perfectly smoked, perfect chew, with unbelievable flavour. I ordered the full slab with a side of Mac and cheese which was also delicious, and you are getting what you pay for. Also 15% off for Laurier students! I didn t order the chicken but I saw the pit dude cutting up an order of chicken, and I will absolutely be trying that next time. Not to mention, the staff behind the counter are wonderful, which makes for a great visit. Thanks guys!!
Place was unreal! Hottest little thing working the cash! Food was second to none! Juiciest homemade smash burger! Recommend 10 out of 10
Had the smash burger with the mac and cheese , wow best burger I had at a restaurant in a while . Highly recommend.
Delicious!
Super nice people, very friendly, quality food.
All I can say is WOW WOW WOW! The menu saying their ribs are as juicy as watermelon werent wrong. I think this food might make watermelons jealous. The staff at Uncle Sams were very inviting. On our first order, our food was ready quickly. They gave us a free bbq sauce, which Ive put on almost everything since then. The portion sizes were ginormous!!! Everyone was delighted with their meals and Ive been anxiously waiting to go back. The cornbread wasnt too dry or crumbly. It was a nice texture. We tried the baked beans, which was a a different spice profile than the brisket or BBQ and equally delightful. Cant wait to go back! Oliver and Lily are wonderful.
Best BBQ in Brantford hands down.
good deals & good food. great for students.
excellent service. The best barbecue ribs. They were perfectly cooked and fell off the bone. The pulled pork, chicken and sausage were also amazing. the pork sandwiches are spectacular, excellent place they speak English and Spanish
Amazing food great quality best in town
Surprisingly we dont eat at many BBQ joints so I dont have much to compare it to. We ordered brisket, ribs, beans, slaw and a corn bread to go since they dont have a liquor license yet. Everything was very good with the meat a little on the salty side but we dont use much salt at home so were not used to it. The BBQ sauce was excellent and the service friendly. The portions are big and prices decent. We will go back for sure.
Great food!
The food here is amazing and the staff is very friendly! 10/10 I will be back for more
Walked out with a pulled pork sandwich in less than 5 minutes. In those 5 minutes, they impressed me with their friendliness and their champagne-scented hand sanitizer. Delicious food, $14 will feed a small family for 2 days.
Amazing owners, amazing food! Must try the brisket
Delicious poutine! Amazing service,
This place is amazing. Portions are huge so come extra hungry, everything we had was delicious. Make sure you get the corn bread, we got extra to go as it was that good
I went for the first time this evening with my brother and what an unreal experience! Firstly, the place is extremely clean and has a great atmosphere for dining in or taking out. The staff were super personable, fast and friendly. The beef rib I got was tender, filled with flavour and massive! The corn bread is hands down best I ve ever had! Oh and they also sell beer so you can enjoy a cold one with your BBQ! They thought of it all here! I highly recommend this place. 100% best BBQ in Brantford!
Glad, we found this newly-opened smoke house! We just recently moved to Brantford from Cambridge and we are delighted to stumble upon this little gem! You can never go wrong with their ribs and their pulled pork sammy. My hubby and I throughly enjoyed it!
The best go to food, they re chicken wrap was so good, along side their Mac and cheese, 100% worth your money
This place is so good!! Everything i ve tried has been delicious and you get a great portion of food. Go to place for some good food. Also everyone inside is very friendly. :)

Went here for lunch...new restaurant in downtown Brantford. Ordered to pulled pork on a bun!!! You gotta try it out!! Well worth the money ... Lots of pork, awesome BBQ sauce. If you havent been, you gotta go. Looking forward to next visit myself.
awkward seating but food was pretty good
Sooo much food!! Insanely amount of food for the price. Quality is more important, which you get first. The quantity is the bonus. I am stuffed every time I eat here. And the little things too, slice of pickle, dipping sauce, extra gravy on the meat and excellent options for sides Hands down the best restaurant in town. Thank you for being here!
Food was delicious I had the brisket sandwich and the women had ribs we loved it great guys and fast
Their Smash burger is SO GOOD. Solid 10 out of 10, very friendly staff and cozy place to dine in. Oh and the corn bread was so sweet and delicious that it melted in my mouth. Going back again !!! Food

Only good place to eat in brantford.
Nice fries
Best place to eat in Brantford. 10/10 food. Staff always nice.
We wanted to try something new, a week ago and have been back there three times since, the food is just amazing and deserves better then a 5 star rating, the customer service also deserves the same rating we just can t rave enough about Uncle Sam s finally a place that cares and takes foods serious and to the next level Parking: Every time I get a spot right out front
This is the End, better than Lancaster. You have to go to states if you have to beat their taste. Food and quantity was woww
I ordered a family meal so we could try a variety of products. We enjoyed everything except the bread and chili, but that is just down to personal tastes, not quality. I loved the pulled pork and my husband loved the chicken. The kids, well, it is meat so they loved it all
So glad I stopped in! One of the best Philly Cheesesteaks Ive ever had. Service is top notch, super clean, generous portions..do you really need a better reason? Their multiple Ribfest awards say it all. Great job! I would drive from London, ON just to eat there again. Vegetarian options: They also have salads, mac & cheese, rice, corn, soup and more.
This is by far the BEST BBQ food restaurant that my husband and I have been too!!! The food is delicious, the portions you get for the price are amazing and the staff is always friendly! We have been to a lot of BBQ places in Ontario but this our favourite by far. So much so, that we drive 45 minutes to come to this restaurant! We highly recommend Uncle Sam s!!!!!!
The brisket sandwich is fantastic!
Had a a great time and great food at Uncle Sams BBQ Smoke House tonight! The pulled pork was amazing, great BBQ spot that you have to try!
Best bbq I have ever had. Staff was very friendly and delightful made the experience even better
Decided to try this out for lunch and was not disappointed! Was shocked at how big the portion sizes were, and the price I paid to eat was fantastic! The pulled pork is insanely good, and the bun they paired the sandwich with was so soft and warm.The greek salad portion was a pleasant surprise as I have never seen a salad made with that size ingredients! The Staff was very friendly and very helpful. I can t wait to go back! Awesome job The food was amazing definitely coming back people there where so nice
Great little sandwich shop in downtown Brantford. I had the ceasar chicken wrap which was excellent. With tasty sweet potato fries. Prompt service. New decore etc. Worth checking out .
Tender, tasty rib, flavourful coslaw and mashed potato. We had a full rack and three sides which was enough for two adults and a kid. Reasonable price for the portion. First time here, highly recommend it!!!
I came in to Brantford for some business. I stopped at Sam s. It was my first time here. The food was delicious. The two workers were very friendly, recommend this place to everyone
