Editorial Review for Primanti Brothers Bar & Grill – by Ernessa Carter
The Scene
This Pittsburgh landmark is where you'll find all the native clubgoers before they hit the party scene and the night owls who hit it for after-hour noshing. The service is efficient and friendly, reflective of the town it represents.
The Food
The Primanti way of making a sandwich may not be famous worldwide, but it's certainly known citywide. Served on wax paper, meat, french fries, tomato and coleslaw are stuffed between two slices of Italian bread. The beauty lies in the simplicity. They call it a sandwich, but it goes down like a meal. The cheese steak, which is actually a burger, not shaved steak, is listed as "the No. 2 favorite." What's No. 1? "Beer," according to the staff. Vegetarian? How about a triple grilled cheese? The hot sausage, bratwurst and egg sandwiches are also great craving killers.

Primatis has great food and fast service. They have the best french fries and coleslaw in the city. I don't know how, but their bread is so fresh, no matter what time of day or night. Great for after clubbing.
Pros: Fresh food, quick service, must go place
Cons: not for romantic dining

First start your sandwich off with almost any thing you can think of. The list goes from Fried Eggs to Cheesesteak. Then you get a heaping generous porportion of Slaw and Fries added on top. Do not order the fries and slaw on the side either. Its not primanti's if the slaw and fries isn't on the sandwich. Its a must eat every time I go back into town. Not only can you get in, have your food, and have it eaten in about 20-30 mins. Your total cost with a drink is about $6.50 on avg. On a personal note get the spicey chicken and add a few dabs of hot sauce from the table to it and a ice cold yeungling and you are good to go.
Pros: you seat yourself and don't wait long for your food.
Cons: It gets a lil rowdy on the south side on a sat night.
