Bacon Cheeseburger at Uncle Sam’s – March 11, 2026

I was looking for a quick lunch on my break and headed to Uncle Sam’s Saloon, tucked behind the mall. Sam’s does a good lunch business during the week and today they had a decent crowd, which felt right for a weekday rush.

What I Ordered

  • Main Entrée: Bacon Cheeseburger
  • Sides: Tater tots and potato soup

The Experience

The service was great — fast, friendly, and efficient — which you appreciate on a short lunch break. The crew kept things moving without making it feel rushed. The dining area was lively but not loud, the kind of spot where you can eat quickly and still enjoy the meal.

What Stood Out

The bacon cheeseburger had real flavor. The patty was seasoned well, with a nice sear on the outside that gave a little texture to each bite. Cheese melted over the burger and the bacon added a smoky crunch that I liked. The bun held up without getting soggy, which matters when you’re balancing a saucy burger and a lunch break clock.

The tater tots were crisp and salty, exactly what you want alongside a burger. The potato soup was warm and creamy, comfortable and straightforward — a good contrast to the crunch of the tots. Those two sides combined with the burger made for a balanced lunch that felt both filling and easygoing.

Pro Tips

  • If you’re short on time, tell them you’re on a lunch break — they move orders along quickly.
  • Sit near the windows if you want a little more light; the interior can feel a bit dim when the crowd picks up.

Would I Get It Again?

I’d get this again and I have. It definitely hit the spot for a weekday lunch: flavorful burger, solid sides, and the service was great. If you need a straightforward, satisfying lunch behind the mall, Uncle Sam’s is a reliable call.
