| - Very similar and yet a bit different from the flagship Primanti Brothers in the strip. The downside is that the signature sandwiches taste just a little different than at the original Primanti Bros. (or the others downtown or in Oakland). I thought the bread was thinner and less fresh, and it's possible the fries and coleslaw had a slightly different flavor. The upside is that the sandwiches are still pretty tasty, and there are a lot of positive differences. The menu is much broader than at the original Primanti Bros., including all kinds of bar food, kid's choices, etc. The ambiance doesn't have the gritty charm of the strip district, but it's roomier, easier to park, and still has a definitively Pittsburgh feel, with the Pens or Stillers always on the TVs, and plenty of sports memorobilia. The final kicker, and it's a nice one, is the beer selection, including a Dogfish 60-minute IPA which you can get for a couple of bucks at happy hour. Primanti Bros. Harmar is like life in the burbs: maybe less cool than dan-town, but pretty good living especially if you know what you're doing.
