| - Pittsburgh style chili was very spicy and had a distinct ketchup taste (Heinz I assume). Fried zucchini was good, but I had better at the Micro Diner in Mount Washington the day before.
The sandwiches they are known for are just weird. I got the Pitts-burgher sandwich, apparently the #2 best seller on the menu (Server said #1 was IC Beer). The meat patty that was in that sandwich was a Salisbury steak patty. I am not joking. That gray, rubbery, dense, unmistakable taste took me right back to 6th grade school lunch and ruined anything that may have been good about the sandwich. Game over from the first bite. It was awful. For god's sake, use a real beef patty.
Also tried a pastrami and cheese sandwich. First off, the sandwiches are huge, and with all the toppings, very difficult to get a bite of everything at once. When you do, the fries and coleslaw really overpower everything else (except Salisbury steak). The pastrami was extremely tender, too tender, almost to the point of mushy, and it was very very bland. It got completely lost. The texture of the meat and the bottom piece of bread were one in the same, almost pasty.
The décor was what you would expect and the service was very good, but the food was just disappointing. I think you have to try it to say that you have, but it's not worth another try.
