I've been wanting to try this place for a few years after seeing it on Man vs Food as well as hearing from one of my friends who grew up in Pittsburgh. Many of the students on campus told me that this is the best sandwich ever too. And after trying it, I can see why college students would like it - portion size is off the charts. But it really doesn't taste like much to me.
The appetizers are pretty good though - the loaded tater tots and fries are really flavorful and hot out of the fryer. The fried cheese triangles are really good too if you like fried gobs of mozzarella (and let's be honest, who doesn't?).
But the sandwich? It's an experience to be sure as its a Pittsburgh icon but I think its a one and done thing. Bread is soft italian bread but so soft that it can't hold up to the mass of stuff inside. I got a capicola and egg and the meat was a pretty good amount, but it still dwarfs the contents of the fries and slaw. The slaw is pretty good actually - I don't normally like slaw either. But when you got about 3 inches of fries to go through that are a bit limp and not crisp and unsalted, its really hard to taste the sandwich from top to bottom - you just taste bland fries. A lot of our group couldn't finish their sandwich cause it was just too much for them and I can see why.
