I can't believe all of the bad reviews of this place? No one ever said it was the best sandwich ever, or the most delicious. It was created so steel workers could get a filling meal with their limited lunch shift. Backbreaking work requires mondo calories.
Quit the cork sniffing and go there hungry. They excel at feeding you for a low price. If you eat with your pinky in the air, then this is not the place for you.
My family and I appreciate this place and consider it a Pittsburgh institution. As my grandma-in-law says, "It will sicken you." Haha! Despite that, she never seems to have a problem wolfing down her Pitts-burger sandwich and cheese fries.
