| - As a native Pittsburgher it breaks my heart to write this, but Primanti Bros has gone way down hill. I think they have been featured too many times on the Travel Channel or the Food Network, maybe they are beginning to believe their own hype. I enjoyed these sandwiches when I lived grew up in Pittsburgh, so I was quite eager to share this experience with my friends a few weeks ago. They had never been to Pittsburgh, so this was going to be their first taste of a local favorite.
The food: Bread was stale, major disappointment. The meat was non-existant, we ordered Kielbosa, Double Egg, Angus Beef and the Pittsburgher. I am not a salt user, ever, but I had to load on the salt to get any flavor out of my sandwich. The portions were still decent size, but who wants cold fries, tasteless meat and stale bread.
Side Items: The appetizers were still good, but fried food is pretty hard to mess up.
Cost: Price was pretty reasonable, but the food was mediocre.
Ambiance - the original location is still the best, the chains are okay, but the food is lacking more so in the franchise locations.
