Primanti Bros. Restaurant and Bar

Prime location in Market Sq, Pittsburgh. Service with a smile. My first trip to Pittsburgh so I needed to check this box off. Ordered up a tall beer and a legendary sandwich, I tried the corned beef and cheese. Didn't wait long for food to arrive. The sandwich was pretty good. Fresh thick cut white bread surrounded the moist and tender sliced corned beef and cheese which was topped with fries cooked just right, and a pile of cole slaw. Only complaint was the slaw was dry and didn't add much value to the sandwich. I thought if it was creamier the sandwich would have perfect.

Had to try this institution out while visiting Pittsburgh. I had the capicola and cheese. Added a pickle beer to make it even better. The server was helpful when making our selections and attentive throughout. Definitely recommend grabbing a bite here!

Had never been to a Primanti Brothers and wanted to give it a try while in town. We ate outside where they have a great setup… plenty of tables and half the area is covered while the other half is in the sun with umbrellas. We were very impressed with the service outside, the servers were quick to come and check on us and everyone was pleasant and upbeat. Started with the pickle chips which were nicely breaded, served piping hot, and had good flavor. Served with just a basic ranch as the dipping sauce. Two of us were splitting a sandwich and we chose the buffalo chicken to share. The servers were nice to have the sandwich already divided on separate paper sheets (they don’t use plates here for the sandwiches). The fries were good and the slaw added the perfect crunch. I was a little disappointed as there was barely any buffalo sauce on the sandwich so it was more like eating just a fried chicken sandwich, but the chicken was perfectly fried and crisp.

It’s the classic Pittsburgh spot for a reason, very sports bar, and with piled high sandwiches that are much better than you’d expect! The pastrami and cheese is very solid, especially for $10, where you get a fair amount of meat and fries. Of course, most of it is coleslaw, but again for the price, I’m not surprised. Overall, maybe it’s overrated but it’s certainly worth going to and getting a pretty good bang for your buck, plus the service was really amazing too, fun experience!

We drove 15 hours for the NFL Draft. We asked the locals where to go and someone highly recommended this place. Our experience was so bad it almost ruined the entire experience. We expected wait times etc because it was busy but that was not our issue. Our issue was our server with an attitude who ignored us 90% of the time and made it seem like an inconvenience the two times she checked on us while we waited 45 min for our food to come out. When the food finally came out disappointed wouldn’t even come close to how bad it was. We hadn’t eaten in 20 hours. The fried pickles were the only edible thing and we didn’t even eat all of them. The wings were unseasoned and the sauce was just drizzled over the top not tossed in sauce which was also severely lacking. I ate one and my partner ate one. Couldn’t force ourselves to eat more. My partner got the angus sirloin and cheese sandwich- the pictures on the website made these look delicious. The fries on it were saddest fries I’ve ever experienced. They were soggy and unseasoned, not even salted. The meat was also unseasoned and like rubber. My partner took two bites and refused to eat the rest. We asked for the check and our server took
