This iconic Pittsburgh place just doesn't live up to the hype.
I liked the concept - take all the ingredients you would find on the side of a sandwich and dump them IN the sandwich but it wasn't well executed. I've tried the cheese steak and the pastrami and wasn't blown away by either. The fries are a bit on the soggier side and the ratio of coleslaw to fries isn't right (too much slaw), but these factors don't detract too much from the sandwich for me (you can always remove some slaw). I think the main problem is that the sandwiches as a whole are lacking flavor.
Don't get me wrong - these aren't BAD sandwiches. I think it's definitely worth the experience to go once and see what it's like but the sandwiches could be a lot better.
