| - I had never eaten a Primanti's sandwich before coming in here, and although I had some idea what to expect, I wasn't quite sure how well I'd like it. But I was willing to give it a shot.
I am so glad I did. The restaurant was clean and well-staffed, and our waiter, although not real friendly or anything, was polite and efficient. I ordered a Yuengling which came in a huge .5L glass (a surprise to me) and was perfectly cold and fresh.
I ordered my sandwich with spicy Italian sausage. What came out of the kitchen was a thing of beauty. Two slices of soft, fresh Italian bread, with layers of sausage, fries, cole slaw, tomato and raw onion. It was absolutely delicious! It was filling without being really heavy--the fries are not real greasy and the cole slaw is vinegar-based, not doused in mayo.
The flavors of everything in the sandwich work perfectly together, and my pronouncement upon finishing the first half was that this was easily one of the best sandwiches I had ever eaten.
What I also find impressive is that Primanti's is such an institution, they could put out far inferior food and still coast on their reputation, but far from just being some gimmick, the sandwich is actually really tasty.
Definitely worth a visit!
