| - Primanti is a MUST if you ever come to Pittsburgh.
The place bleeds with Pittsburgh pride, as the wall is painted with historic and famous Pittsburgh figures, the screens play local sports, and the food just reeks of the Steel City.
As you might expect, the food is rugged, big, and wholesome. There's lots of grease that goes around, and they seem to feel that everything tastes better fried (?). I'm not saying fried stuff isn't bad, but I think it's a little excessive. One of their trademarks is having fries in their sandwiches, and honestly, I think the starchiness makes the sandwiches a lot drier and difficult to down. It also adds a void of blandness that drowns out the sweet lettuce or the savory meat. Also, I'd say their Pitts-burger isn't that great. It's a very standard combination of lettuce, cheese and patty, but I felt that the patty was really dry, and again, the fries got in the way.
Overall though, the place is lively, and is great for bringing large groups of friends to. Definitely drop by if you want a taste of black and yellow.
