What People Are Saying About Primanti Brothers

The Scene – It's where all the clubgoers go before they hit the party scene, and where all the night owls are after venues close their doors. The service is efficient and friendly, reflective of the town the Primanti Brothers represent. – – The Food – The Primanti way of making a sandwich may not be famous worldwide, but it's certainly known citywide. Meat, french fries, tomatoes and coleslaw are stuffed between two slices of Italian bread and served on wax paper. The beauty lies in the simplicity. It's a sandwich, but it goes down like a meal. The cheesesteak--which…

Awful !!
by My Take
I first ate at the original Primanti Bros restaurant back in the 1980's and it was a hunger-busting experience. a generous portion of pretty good, quality meat, piled high on the sandwich, with a small amount of fries, and the coleslaw/tomato topping. I went back there last week and things had definitely changed. I ordered The Pittsburgher Cheese Steak sandwich. The joke was on me. I thought that I had ordered a steak sandwich. What I got was a previously frozen hamburger Patty, topped with a mound of greasy French fries, all for the extravagant price of $5.99. Basically, it was a French fry sandwich and it was awful. The quality of the food at Primanti Brothers has deteriorated. I don't know who would still want to eat there.
- Pros: It's the only place open
- Cons: You are better off starving yourself than eating here.

worst food in Pittsburgh!
by GingerRice
We went there after the Steelers game and were highly disappointed. The waitress acted as if we were bothering her to order anything and the food was a few tiny pieces of something in the bread. My son was so sick that he threw up outside of the restaurant and in the hotel room and remained sick for a few days thereafter. It was a horrible experience. Never will we go back there even if it is the only place open in Pittsburgh!
- Pros: open late
- Cons: bad service, food and dirty
