Went to Primanti Bros for first time last night since moving from Ohio. We had family in town visiting and everyone wanted to see what the hype was about. There were 8 of us.Well, first experience of Primanti less than impressed.
After they sat us one waitress rudely told the other that she needed to move the tables. So we all had to stand back up move the 2 tables down and then sit back down. Once we sat down one table leg was uneven so the table wobbled the entire time(table next to us had a napkin under one lag to level it out). This showed lack of attention from management staff. Told our waitress that none of us had ever eaten here before and asked what she recommended. Her answer was "I eat all of it" we were hoping for a less generic response. Every person that works in a resturant has tried multiple items and should be able to offer more assistance than that. So everybody orderes something different. Nachos and wings were excellent.
As for the sandwiches when we asked what the Pitts-burger was she said it was a ground beef patty with the fries and slaw. I was expecting a hamburger patty which it was not. Not sure what the meat was. The turkey sandwich was good. So the food was hit or miss.
As we were eating a server spilled some drinks, which happens. However when someone came to clean it up they slipped and used someone in our party to csth themselves and hit them in the back. Again accidents happen but there was no sorry no are you ok.
Overall service was poor and food was ok. Less than impressed. Kind of embarrassed tobtake family to a resturant that is supposed to be a Pittsburgh staple.
