| - We visited this location twice during our stay in the P'burgh.
Primanti's is a classic experience here, from what I'm told, but I'll be honest - I'd never heard of it before Adam Richman decided that he was going to shove an entire sandwich down his gullet here. But the idea of a huge sandwich with a bunch of fries and cole slaw shoved in the middle sounded pretty good - so we stopped.
You have to order your sandwich from the huge board that they have (if you're in the back section - if you're at the counter, it's located over the grills) - there's no "menu" here, per se. I think that this is all they do - sandwiches and nothing more. Don't come in expecting a huge variety of dishes.
The first time we came, we dined in and were seated in the back. I ordered a cappicola and egg sandwich, since this is what A.R. used as an example and he'd proclaimed it "delicious". Well, it was definitely good, I will say that much - but I wish that the egg had been just a little "runnier" in the middle. I like hard-cooked yolks as a rule, but in this case, a softer yolk would have made the dish. Also, the sandwich was not nearly as big as it looked on television - I ate it and was like, "Uh... still kind of hungry over here." Kind of shocked, to be honest.
They bring these to you on wax paper - no plates. I was a little taken aback by that at first, but I got used to it. Neat, actually.
The cole slaw is absolutely delicious. I wish I had the recipe, because I'd make it at home all the time. Fries were hot and added a nice touch to the sandwich - not bad at all.
The second time we came in was when we were literally on our way home - we stopped here before hitting the freeway. This time I got a "colossal fish" - and ate it warmed up at home a few hours later. Honestly, I think that the colossal fish was MUCH better - that sandwich was a monster size and I had trouble finishing it. Again, the fries and cole slaw added to the texture and taste experience. I'd probably recommend this over the cappicola version. It was even great microwaved at home hours later, believe it or not.
My second sandwich was also made by Ms. Toni herself (the woman that Adam Richman interviewed), so I don't know if that had anything to do with how much better it tasted. I bet it did, though!
Service is a little lacking, but not enough for me not to come back.
Good stuff, and we'll be back to try other versions of the sandwich.
Worth a stop if you're visiting the Pittsburgh area.
