| - The O is a Pittsburgh institution. At one time, it apparently sold reasonably priced hot dogs, burgers, and fries. Now, they are banking on nostalgic alumni and reputation versus being cheap, but the dogs are still good.
My friend and I stopped in after a Wednesday night class for a quick hot dog. People swear by the fries, but as a non-fry eater, I think they are edible and nothing more. I ordered a cheese dog with jalapenos ($5.34 w tax). The cheese dog is good, but in New York I can get two cheese dogs and a drink for $5. The quality and price just don't match up.
Try it once if you want to see what the fuss is about, but it's not really somewhere I feel the need to come back to. The help leaves something to be desired, and the place is super grungy. However, the O does take credit cards now!
