Is this the same Uncle John's on17947 s. Halsted ?

No! I talked to and read articles about the fight over the name... apparently a family member "took" the name to open his own "Uncle John's" but imho: the one in Homewood is awful (just like when they were in Richton Park). It's too salty, overcooked and the flavor just isn't there. I will never buy from the fake Uncle John's again. I live right by it and I'd rather drive into the city for real Uncle John's!!!!

Same franchise not the same owners

Yes
