I had heard about Primanti Bro's from Man vs. Food and had a few friends from Pitt recommend it for my family. I thought the idea was fabulous and had to give it a shot during a trip down in that area. I have to say that I was quite disappointed with the experience.
I ordered a Roast Beef and thought that it came out quite flavorless. Although I love meals with massive portions, this sandwich didn't really have a clear way to attack it. It was overstuffed with french fries and ended up just being a spilled mess of fries on my plate. The idea of a sandwich stuff with slaw and fries sounds great in theory until you take a bite and realize how dry and flavorless those fries make it. I liked the slaw - it had a nice sweet taste, but would have preferred a quarter the number of fries so that I could actually enjoy some flavor. Otherwise I felt like the sandwich needed to be smothered in some sort of sauce.
I also felt that there was much to be desired with the restaurant staff. They weren't unfriendly to us, just indifferent and slightly socially retarded. Despite the objections that my pals from Pitt have thrown at me, I won't be going back to Primanti Bros.
