We have always been fans of Uncle Sams.  It appears they shut down the location at Shea/101.  The original Uncle Sams remains at the 51/Shea and this one in Peoria.  We hadn't been there in a while so we stopped by and things just seemed off.  The salad we normally order appeared smaller (antipasto) with less meat and no cheese.  I order the meatball grinder that had 4 meatballs and one slice of cheese. It just looked sparse. \n\nWas it me? Was it a bad night?  Is it a sign of this crappy economy?  We will never know, but overall  the food is good, the waitresses are fairly hot (ours had a nice rack pouring out of her shirt) and the kids liked it.\n\nLike I have said it previous posts, in that area you can get much better pizza, subs, salads a block away at NYPD pizza, but Uncle Sams still isn't bad.  I just hate being served a drink in a big plastic tumbler, as if I am in college.
