text: I knew I would make it here one day and last Saturday during a tour of the Pitt campus I was provided the perfect opportunity to pop in and give this place a try without going out of my way And I will say itI am glad I did not cross the Birmingham Bridge just for this Still something about it is charming and authentic and well original And the food was not allll bad nnFirst the good The fries were plentiful and amazing I realize they probably never change the frying oil but I am sure that is exactly what makes them so tasty And the gravyget the gravy It elevates the fry experience to a whole new level Also tried these fries with cheese plain old ketchup and bare naked Delicious any way you go nnThe disgusting The hot dog I am sorry but I do not get the hype I like my hot dogs plump juicy and preferably allbeef This was shriveled crunchy crusty overcooked and wellI do not know what is in a hot dog but it was not all beef I realized after ordering that you can in fact order an allbeef dog but that leads me to the next pointnnThe confusing I know this is part of the charm and what makes this place an institution in Pittsburgh and a gripe from a newcomer is worth about a penny but wow The menu is super busy and all over the placeleading me to miss the allbeef dog option And I had absolutely no idea where to physically place my order dogs in one section fries in another beerpizza in another Fortunately it was mid afternoon not too crowded and a polite kid behind the counter had a surprising amount of patience with me nnIf for no other reason than a six pack of beer I am sure I will be back at some point during my time as a parttime Pitt student
