There have been a variety of restaurants have called Liverpool home over the decades, but there’s one in particular many would bring back in a heartbeat if they could.
Uncle Sam’s was an American-Italian restaurant which opened on Renshaw Street in the 1980s and later relocated to Bold Street before its sudden closure in 2019. The Liverpool eatery was regarded as a “special place” by diners, with some pointing out its unique features and food - including its fish pond and bbq ribs that were “the best”.
The family business became an institution and served our city for nearly 40 years. Uncle Sam’s was owned by Egyptian-born Hamdi Bichara who, despite being in his seventies, still worked at the restaurant “day and night” until its closure.
