I had eaten at a number of Primanti's location around Pittsburgh, but this past weekend was my first stop at the shop in Oakland. I found the sandwiches at this location to be more generous (more slaw, more fries, etc) than at the suburban shops. Everyone in my party of five thought the same thing, and the quality was as good or better than other Primanti's I have eaten at.
Service, on the other hand, was lacking a little bit. While the server was attentive to the point of getting our meals to us, after that we were on our own. After waiting about 15 minutes for our check, the cook behind the counter was gladly willing to check us out when I asked.
Note that this location does not accept credit cards, and we had to use the ATM in the building lobby because the PNC ATM up the block was out of order. Bring cash!
The quality of the food and the college-town ambiance helped ensure the 4-star rating, even though the service was a bit lackluster.
