Pains me to say this but I supported this place for years,ate here at least once a week when I lived in nsb,we moved hours away and would allways drive back because of how good it was.Today was a terrible experience,waited 35 min for our food,apparently there was a mix up with our ordering being giving to the wrong customer and they ran out of brisket and had to pick it up at a different location.We waited patiently because I get things Happen.The staff was very friendly and made it right by offering a free drink and rack of ribs.The only issue is the food was very bad,I’ve ordered the same thing for 5 years pulled pork,chicken and side of brisket.order total was $47.00 sadly I was very disappointed in the food,brisket was very fatty like a lot of fat,and portions where very small and was cold.also ribs where not tender they where very ruff and tuff,coleslaw was very watery and not good,the toast was good like allways pulled pork was good.over the years I feel like portion sizes have gotten smaller which I understand.But man I didn’t feel the love in the food I ate today and it saddens me because I used to love this place .Not sure if I’ll go back but as of right now I feel like I’ve been let down a lot,from the wait time to the portion and the cold food and quality of the food.THE staff was very friendly and did everything to make up for the inconvenience and I would of been fine with that if the food wasn’t cold and ribs over cooked and tuff and brisket being just fat with little true meat.Maybe I’ll give it a chance again but I won’t drive over a hour to eat this anytime soon hopefully it was just a bad day.

I edited my previous review. When they have food it is good. Problem is that lately they have been running out of food. Out of the last 5 times we been there 3 of those times they either did not have gator or lobster. Sometimes both. The owner told us that if we where not happy just let him know. So the first time it happen we brought it to his attention. Told him we drive a half hour to get here and you where out of lobster. He got offensive. Guess we won't tell him anymore. So tonight we go there and my wife tried ordering gator meal and lobster roll. Guy behind the window tells her that they have no lobster and the gator they just got in and is frozen. I should of told the guy we'll thaw it. I guess this is what happens we you have 3 restaurants in a quarter mile. Service goes down hill. We will never go back to this place. I'll drive to Hulls they won't be out of food. Very disappointed in this restaurant. They forgot how to take care of there customer.

Stopped by here to have a planning meeting with a couple after their venue tour, I got the brisket Mac and cheese and it was phenomenal - as a KC native that says a lot! Service was equally impeccable, they also had watermelon crush which I was so excited for 👌😂

i had Really high hopes for this place (maybe that was the problem), i wanted so badly to finally find a local late night eatery with a variety of affordable eats...unfortunately, the food was bland and the customer service (i.e. Lack Thereof) was worse. Both people working the day i went acted like they didn't even want to be there, and Especially didn't seem thrilled about ME being there 🤷♂️... guess i'll have to keep looking around NSB

Uncle Chicken catered my retirement party. The food was amazing! Everyone loved the variety, the sides complemented the pork sliders, ribs and chicken wings. He was extremely helpful and friendly. After setting up the food he offered to pick up any additional items we may have needed. I highly recommend Uncle Chicken for your next event, lunch or dinner!!!!

May not be a good reviewer but I came here expecting mostly chicken dishes, fried and or leading the choices. I would describe the menu as more eclectic Hispanic southern fare. We had to wait some time to find an employee. We were the only ones here at 5:45 on a Monday. We ordered the chicken quesadilla and the smoked chicken tacos. The menu was vast of non cohesive options. The kitchen did not represent a clean environment and the seating area and fenced storage was worse. Truthfully the quesadilla was very good and if nice portion size. The smoked tacos was average but the lettuce and tomatoes were fresh. The meat may have been over smoked in taste. The bag included a couple of forks by no napkins or sauces. All in all good food but nothing traditional about the experience.

Been wanting to try this place and yikes. Burnt gyro meat in a flour tortilla. Our food came cold because the pager we were given didn't work. Everything was bland and underseasoned. I don't understand how this place managed to get 4.8 stars. Given the reviews, we will probably give them another try in the future.

First time trying Uncle Chickens in NSB. Saturday 11/9/24 was National Chicken Sandwich day. Chose to visit 'Uncle Chickens' for ONLY that reason. It's literally a takeout window (like a food truck), with some picnic tables outside with loud kinda reggae music which was cool. Most of the strung patio lights were burnt out, making for limited lighting and kills the outdoor seating vibe. Basically on the menu not all their sandwiches are served with fries and the chicken sandwich was one of those. Odd as you would think it would be their number one seller. With that said, we paid $15 for just a sandwich and another $7 to get a side of fries to split between my husband and I. We know we could have chosen a 'different' sandwich on the menu (which came with fries at a lesser price) but it was 'National Chicken Sandwich' day like I said, and this was a chicken place, if you get my point. We also asked for cups of water which are normally provided for free at any restaurant with a food order and they said they could only sell us bottles of water. We declined. They give you a little pager device to tell you when your food is done to go back to the window and self pickup, yet they ask for a 'tip' when you order and pay. I don't get it. When you pickup your order it is on easy to carry trays to be able to walk it over to your picnic table location. The chicken sandwiches were good, but nothing extraordinary like we were expecting from other reviews. We're foodies, and try new places a lot and have had similar size and quality for more economical pricing elsewhere. The sandwich was served with lettuce, pickles and tomato and packets of mayo. We used GPS to get there, & there's actually another Uncle chickens across the street from their location. Same owners with different food selections we were told. Fellow foodies this was a one and done visit for us. Sorry Uncle Chicken, not worth the hype. I hope this honest review sets experience expectations a little better. The best part of the meal was the guy at the window when we first walked up explaining everything. He's a gem, super sweet , and the reason we didn't walk away and go elsewhere. He's also the reason why you got a five star for your service.
