I am a sucker for famous food. If someone says you have to try a famous restaurant when I go to a new city, I must try that restaurant. I am all about new experiences, especially when it comes to food.
So, when I made my first trip to Pittsburgh, I knew I must try Primanti Brothers. It was so packed during my one-night, two-day stay that I wasn't able to snag a sandwich. However, I was back just a few months later and made it! We tried going on a Thursday night, and it was packed, so we opted to come back on Friday around 1 p.m., hopefully beating the lunch rush.
Would definitely recommend trying this location at an off-time. Loved the decor and atmosphere. I love the area as well. I opted for the sweet sausage sandwich and it was tasty. Who doesn't love a sandwich with french fries on it? My only complaint about the meal is that the bread was a little soggy. Not sure if it was because of the sausage or if that's just what happens with their bread -- but that was a bit of a turn-off for me.
I would definitely recommend it (at least once!) for anyone visiting Pittsburgh. I'll be back at least once more to give it another go!
