Customer Reviews

"I got the BLT and fries as to which you can see I ate it faster than a picture could be taken. The atmosphere was great with comfortable seats and the staff was extremely knowledgeable about portions and were friendly. Price is nowhere near bad and the food was served at a very fast rate. The bacon was cooked perfectly. Will absolutely dine here again! Thank you for the meal!"

"It was exactly how everyone has described it to me for the last 30 years. We finally went to get their well known burgers. Not disappointed at all. Outstanding burger cooked to order. The hand cut fries were cooked great as well. The prices were amazing. Don't wait..just go!"

- Connie S.

"Ordered lunch from here yesterday. All in all it was a fine enough experience. I ordered a cheesesteak burger with fries to go. The fries were good. They were fresh cut and were fried perfectly. My only gripe is they weren't salted. But the fries themselves were really tasty despite that. The burger was solid. And it was quite large as well. The burger itself had good flavor and was thick and juicy. The steak on top was utterly forgettable though. It had no flavor at all. If it had been removed from the burger I wouldn't have noticed at all. However, the onions, peppers, and cheese were delish. I would say for $20, the price is a little steep. So I'm not sold on the value here. But the food itself was fine. Will I be back? Maybe. I make pretty good burgers at home, so it's hard for me to spend $20 on one when it doesn't blow me away."

"This place was a treat. Straight up 80s vibe. Brings back memories of childhood. Food in the service were great. I would highly recommend."

"I had lunch with a friend @ Uncle John's Place in Mansfield. A homeless man walked in and asked the table beside me if they were going to finish their food that the waitress had just delivered. The waitress told him he could not bother the customers, then proceeded to ask if he would like a bowl of soup that she could give him a bowl for free. I was impressed by this. I don't know of and have never seen a restaurant do this in our area. Not only was I impressed by their food, but the generosity for the less fortunate. I strongly recommend this place. "

"Great food, service, and atmosphere. We started with an order of onion rings and fried mushrooms. The onion rings were the best onion rings I've had in a while. The people who ate the fried mushrooms said they were delicious. The batter on the fried mushrooms was crisp, light, and didn't make the mushrooms soggy. The fresh cut french fries were very good. Others who I was with enjoyed the Reuben sandwich and an amazing hamburger. We sat at the bar, and the service was spectacular. The restaurant was very clean, including the restrooms. All of the staff that we interacted with seem to be enjoying their job and serving the customers. We will definitely return to Uncle John's Place when we next visit Mansfield."

"Husband and I popped into Uncle Johns to try the burgers we heard so much about. And they did not disappoint. These burgers melt in your mouth. Portion size for a great price. So delicious, the flavor was like smashing! . Cooked just the way I love my burgers. The ladies behind the bar are super, friendly, talk with us like we had been going there for years. My kind of place. It isn't a large dinning area, but the nostalgia here, worth the trip inside. Some really nice art work on display, just go check it out. This little gem sits on the West corner of downtown Mansfield. Grab a burger at Uncle John's when you get the chance. You love big juicy, well seasoned burger, this is worth the visit."
