| - Quite the Pittsburgh experience. I had been years ago when I went to college in the area; this past weekend, I was in town with my parents and wife, so we went back. We had to wait in a bit of a line for the original location (since 1933!) but the manager (owner?) was fair and kept things moving. He had a good sense of humor and smaller parties (2-3 people) were able to be sat more quickly. Once inside, service was good (no complaints). Portions are good; food was tasty. They serve the sandwiches on wax paper; so minimalist; quick to clean up, no dishes, not much waste. I love the soft, white Italian bread used to make the sandwich. My only complaint, if you will, is that my sandwich could have used a little more meat on it (they give you an option to double the meat; oh, and I did get an egg on mine as well). The fries were good (hand-cut, and pretty thick). Remember, cash only. Also, parking in the area is tough, but we totally lucked out and got a spot right by Primanti Brothers that is reserved for customers and was free! We walked around the strip a little after lunch... is a very fun area (we were there on a Saturday around lunch time). With two beers, four sandwiches, and an order of cheese-fries, our total (with tip) came to $43... not too shabby for lunch out for four adults.
