| - Delicious and over the top sandwiches that you should treat yourself to no more than twice a year
My dad and I were visiting Pittsburgh and saw this place on every "must eat in Pittsburgh" list. So we went and ordered two of their most famous sandwiches: the Pitts burger and the New Yorker.
This place really lives up to the hype. Their sandwiches are ginormous... it's like the size of the my face. Each is piled with thick layers of meat, cheese and FRIES.
Both sandwiches had the same base- thick white bread, fries, coleslaw, cheese, and onions (by request). The bread was very average. I thought it tasted a little dry actually... the fries were a bit too much, it overpowered the sandwich a bit. I LOVED the coleslaw. It's one of the best coleslaws I've tasted in a sandwich. It added a nice sour and crisp kick to the sandwiches, and it's crisp texture really cuts through the rest of the otherwise soft sandwich. The pitts burger had a very average beef patty as the meat, while the New Yorker had corned beef and pastrami, as well as some mustard. There is so much stuff in each of the sandwiches that the bottom pieces of bread literally got flattened before we even picked it up.
Honestly, I think that the taste of the sandwiches are themselves 4/5, but the presentation and service at the place gives it a solid 4.5.
The service was very fast - our sandwiches were served in 10-15 min. The staff is very friendly! The presentation of the sandwiches is very good - They are cut in half and served on parchment paper. The sandwiches are very photogenic and perfect for instagram/Snapchat/Yelp or any other social media platforms.
