Problem: Less than good here, not terrible, but I see no reason to come back. Chicken yakisoba was really boring. The chicken had zero flavor, it didn't taste seasoned at all or marinated. It tasted like a plain grilled chicken thigh. The noodles were lifeless, no flavor and mushy. The dish had no flavor. It was noodles, veg and chicken but nothing else. Ordered an egg roll, it was mushy. One bite and that was it. Also, I guy in wheel chair had no place to sit. This place has 4 rows of booths and no place for a wheel chair. A little inconsiderate.

Problem: I used to love this place, and even thought it was better than Chipotle until the last few times I went here. Last Friday I decided to stop in after work and pick up two steak salads for dinner. For one, the staff doesn't listen to a word you say and you're constantly having to repeat yourself which is really annoying. I was watching the employee make my salad and noticed that she barely put any rice in the salads, so i asked for extra rice. She moves onto the steak and she barely put any steak on the salad, which highly annoyed me. I would've asked for extra steak but I knew they would charge me for it. The next employee who handled all the other condiments was super slow and didn't listen worth a shit. I told him easy on the lettuce and his idea of easy and mine are too seperate things. I always ask for two extra dressings because we love it that much, and we always know that there is an extra charge for it which is fine. I get up to the register and my jaw almost dropped at the cost, it was $26 for two salads. Two salads that barely had any meat, very skimpy on the condiments, the tortillas were like rubber, and there was more lettuce than anything else. I was in a rush and just wanted to get home after a long day at work. I reviewed my receipt and noticed they charged me extra for the rice, which highly pissed me off. My fiance called them and asked them if they charge for extra rice and he was told that since we both had rice and beans they will charge you for an extra side if you request extra rice and/or beans. That is absolutely ridiculous! I know for a fact that rice and beans aren't that expensive, especially when you're buying in bulk. For shits and giggles we went to their website and put together an online order, and we made sure to ask for extras and we were shocked at the prices they are charging people. Here's the breakdown of what all the "extras" condiments will run you: Sour Cream +$.59 Guacamole +$1.99 Cheese +$1.00 Chip Strips +$1.00 Pinto Beans +$1.00 Black Beans +$1.00 Shredded Cheese +$2.00 Rice +$1.00 Steer clear of their guacamole because they let it sit out for too long, and then the guacamole turns a lovely brownish-green color. Don't even waste your time voicing your issues with the manager. He's useless, rude and needs to get off his Cafe Rio high horse. He once talked shit to me because I told him that I didn't want a lot of lettuce on my salad. He scoffed at me and said, "What's the point in even getting a "salad" if you don't want lettuce on it? It's kind of stupid, don't you think?" I let that snide remark slide and still decided to return, but after this last visit I'll never return. The reason why I gave this place 1 star is because they don't have an option for 0 starts. I think this place sucks and I think that they're knickle and diming their customers. We'll stick with Chipotle where you can get as much extra rice and beans as your little heart desires. Plus, I can feed two people with a bag of chips w/ salsa & guac, two burrito bowls with extra meat for $21.

Problem: After spending my lunch sweating because of the lack of air conditioning in this place, a 2 star review is kind. On 7/19 for an 11:30 lunch, it was just as hot inside as it was out. How can you enjoy your lunch when you are barely able to breathe? Located on the back side of the Clarion hotel just off of 77 near Carowinds, the location seemed a little sketchy, but I kind of knew it was going to be a little weird from reading the other reviews. But from Kellie K's review, they are STILL paving the lot (a month later) and from Claudine S's review, the air still wasn't functioning. After sitting in the heat for a few minutes and ordering, the hostess asked if a certain license plate was my vehicle, I said yes, she said they were getting ready to pave in that area. How about marking the section you are going to be paving so I don't get that shit all over my truck? Outside into the heat to move the vehicle, back inside to the heat to get my lunch. By then my stomach was rolling from the heat and what I had ordered no longer seemed appetizing. I came close to just leaving and going to the new Culver's right next door that has the good reuben Jeff reviewed. Alas, I stuck it out in the sauna. My waiter, Kyle, was exceptional. He told me that it was the same chef as Passion8 (never been, don't care, if the food is good, it could be a pack of felons back there cooking it). Very personable and he suggested the Marinated Skirt Steak served with chimichurri sauce, a baked potato and broccoli ($13). The steak was cooked as ordered to medium, was tender and well flavored. The chimichurri sauce did nothing for it, so I scraped most of that off. The potato was dry and the packets of butter that I had to wrestle from their foiled coffins did nothing to help that, nor did the scoop of sour cream that I added. The one stalk of broccoli was underdone for my taste and covered in butter/oil (?) and sprinkled with cooked garlic or shallots, not sure which, scraped that off as well. Presentation of the dish was lovely, waiter was fantastic, price was more than reasonable... that would be the end of the good points for me. Both of the sides to my dish were bleh, it was hot as hell in there, the parking lot is a freakin' mess and the ambiance (I got the pool view) leaves a lot to be desired. There was only one other table seated for Friday lunch, so if you want to try this place, I would hurry over - with no A/C I don't think it will survive the summer.

Problem: I am decidedly not a Pittsburgh native, or "Yinzer" as the locals would say, but my family's roots are firmly planted in Pittsburgh soil. My trip to Primanti Brothers kicked off my first visit to Pittsburgh to see a Steelers game. Having seen the shop on multiple TV shows and hearing all about it from my "Yinzer" friends, I had to try it. It is as advertised, big, delicious, and not in the slightest bit healthy, which is just fine. I loved the simplicity of my salami sandwich with cole slaw and french fries, it was just what I wanted and nothing I needed, and I loved it. Fine dining it is not, but if you want that, you picked the wrong crowd. Every single return trip to the Steel City (and I plan many) will include a visit to Primanti Brothers. The atmosphere was lively (even though it was packed the night before a Steelers game), the service was friendly and prompt, and the food was delicious. Keep this up, Primantis, you got something good going, although something tells me you already know that.
