Q: I freaking LOVED THIS PLACE!!! I recently visited the Keystone state and decided after hearing about Primanti's on TV and from some friends, along with my love of sandwiches, I'd give them a try. Let's just say, four days in Pittsburgh, PA. resulted in four trips to Primanti's Bros....and I can't wait to go back! My first venture to Primanti's (I went to the original on 18th Street, which opened in 1933) was at about 3:00am after having a drink or two. The original location is open 24 hours and has the ambiance of on old-fashioned sandwich shop, with that hard steel city type of vibe. I immediately liked it! Their sandwiches come with a mix of slaw, tomato, a touch of provolone cheese and french fries. I have always been leery about having fries in my sandwich but when in Rome, stick anything in your mouth. Being that it was my first trip I went with the Pitts-burger (#2 Best Seller) and a side of cheese fries. Voila! I had an instant mouth orgasm. I'm not a huge french fry guy but DAMN are their fresh cut fries a hit! Lightly salted and packing a ton of flavor. I mean I could not get enough of them and even stole most of the cheese fries from my better half. I was amazed by the flavors I was encountering as I ate my sandwich. After the first trip I knew I had to go back but I kind of surprised myself when it was less than 12 hours later. When I went back I wanted to try my favorite sandwich, the pastrami. Come to find out that it's Toni's favorite sandwich too. Who's Toni you ask? She is the adorable, spitfire, beautiful, dream of human being who has been a part of Primanti's for decades. She was easily one of my favorite parts about the experiences at Primanti's, along with all of the staff who really care and appreciate you coming into their establishment. Something we don't see enough of these days! Back to my and Toni's favorite, the pastrami sandwich. Holy schnikes! I almost pooped my pants it was so damn good. Excuse my terminology but this was a religious food experience for me. As I ate the pastrami I began to truly appreciate the combination of meat, to slaw, to fries ratio. I mean they aren't the most complicated combinations in the world but damn do those people at Primanti's make the combo work. You even get to taste the acidity of the tomato, followed up with a hint of cheese but the slaw and fries do all the work. Day three...trip three, by know I am in love with Primanti's slaw as well as Toni as I run into her again. Pastrami is the choice of the day and I'm totally assured that the slaw is simply insane. Simple in it's mixture of slaw, vinegar, some salt and pepper, oil and sugar. It's just insane to me how it tastes so good. Sticking with the pastrami sandwich I began playing around with the ingredient combos. First, I added extra slaw (on the sandwich and on the side) and then I started to bury my delicacy in hot sauce. Tons of it! I have found my Primanti's sandwich perfection! Day four...trip four and it was time to say goodbye to my brief but fulfilling edible encounter with Primanti's. On the way to the airport I make my final trip to see my love, she is there, waiting for me with open arms, giving me what I need and desire... Crap! What am I writing here? It was another round with the pastrami, the slaw, hot sauce, fries, and so on to give my pallet what it needs. I know this review is way over the top but that was my experience at Primanti's Bros. WAY OVER THE TOP! I love this place; highly recommend it and dream of a day when they open a joint down here in Texas!

Q: I have coworkers who come here all the time so finally went and checked it out. Really good and affordable food. I usually getter teryaki chicken which is not on the menu but they will make it and it's yummy! Service is fast so great for lunch and it's not very busy surprisingly so you won't have to wait. It's self seating as well. Overall good place for a fulfilling quick lunch.

Q: Went back again on Sunday early evening and had a whole sausage pie - as recommended the first time we went. It was VERRY good. Definitely a whole pie is better than a single slice. It had been a long day, so we picked a spot in front of the TV and waited for the pizza. Very pleased. Wish it was closer to home, or on the way home from work - but still not so far out of the way. Excited to go back.
