  • The idea of people going to restaurants and ordering things that aren't on the menu only to slag them ruthlessly for not having those items is one that has always confused me. I assume these cranks want to dislike particular businesses and have churlish fun doing so. Sammy's is nothing more than what it is, and I'm not sure why some diners can't appreciate it for that. If one wants the Big Apple delicatessen experience, one should board a Greyhound, and coincidentally, a bus station is blocks away from this Sammy's satellite. So go. Far. Away. Please. At Sammy's, you'll find adequate service, a mixed, civil, quiet clientele, old-fashioned tavern decor, and fine, fine sandwiches served in normal proportions. Are they really "Famous?" I don't know, don't care, and hear no one "raving" about Sammy's aside from its haughty, eternally malcontented detractors. Sammy's makes sandwiches and serves alcohol, soft drinks, and a few other things. Cope with that. Regardless, I still feel that Sammy's makes a fabulously fatty yet fragile and flavorsome corned beef, but they do offer other kinds of sandwiches as well, and for some reason I was feeling like having tuna salad en route to a Symphony X concert at Altar Bar one evening last week, so that was what I treated myself to. See, I often crave that chilly, mushy, rich, creamy, slightly crunchy tuna filling between slices of sturdy white bread from time to time, and Sammy's delivered it unto me without fail, building the beast to my specifications (white bread, lettuce, tomato, onion, American cheese, and mayo). And I'd never ordered such a thing from Sammy's before, either. So take a chance for you I did, the Yelp lurker, coming out happily unscathed. What I have ordered before is their luscious potato salad, and I ordered it again due to its abundance of waxy, yielding spud cubes, tenaciously velvety dressing, and whatever other good, good things comprise it. A fat, cold obelisk of dill pickle completed my basket nicely and kept me going for the rest of the long, strident night ahead, so to me, the portion was adequate and destroyed Subway with a bolt of lightning. Including a tall cup of Pepsi, my bill came to less than 7 dollars. I left a dollar tip and was thanked by my server who told me to "holler" if I needed anything else. P.S. Over two years ago, I reviewed the corned beef sandwich itself at Sammy's sadly defunct Lawrenceville location... http://www.yelp.com/biz/sammys-famous-corned-beef-pittsburgh-2
