| - if i could only choose between eating crispy fries or soggy fries for the rest of my life, i would choose soggy fries in a heartbeat. yes, i am one of those.
however, my plan would fail if i ever found myself on a deserted island with all the fixings to build a primanti sammich. the fries that come in the sandwiches are soggy, and that was actually my bigger problem more than anything. it tasted like a potato paste..and i just wasn't into it.
i went for the jumbo baloney (that's how it was spelled on the board) and cheese. the only "jumbo" part about it was the fact that it was piled high..but not with meat. for the record, the baloney was delicious, but it was SERIOUSLY lacking in quantity. the sandwich, already at $5.59, would require an extra $1.99 for more meat. are you kidding?? having said that, they actually *do* pile the pastrami high on their pastrami sandwich, and BOY is it divine. it deserved every zoom shot and song of praise in all the foodie television shows it has received.
the cole slaw (vinegar-based, not cream-based..which is probably a smart idea for these sandwiches) was tangy and plentiful. let's put it this way: even though it made up about 70% of sandwich content, i actually picked up the little shreds that fell out because it was that good.
cash only is a little annoying, but there's an atm at the entrance. the service isn't spectacular but it wasn't awful, either. i'd definitely go back for a second try.
