This has always been my favorite Primanti's. Smaller than most but with an indelible charm all outta own. The sandwich makers know their stuff and it just tastes better when you can see it cooked a mere arms length away.
Not my favorite the bartender or whoever made those bloody Marys were disgusting food was decent. Fries shouldn't go on the sandwich. You think they'd have a special sauce for house dressing to put on the sandwich but very basic. So basic I didn't even take a pic of the sandwich. Coleslaw was a good
Super fun and delicious food! We happened upon a trivia night, loud but filled with local college kids. Sandwiches were huge and delicious!
Great Food and Service...Super nice people, It also has a Full Bar and you can sit down to eat in a very nice atmosphere.Very reasonable prices on Cocktails.Bill is a Great Chef and Knows his stuff, He's been there for 38 Years !!!Check this place out, you won't be disappointed.
Primantis always has good food at pretty cheap prices, the one on Forbes is no exception. My only complaint is it's quite small, so it's really easy to feel cramped on a busy night. Overall, would recommend if you're looking for a place to grab a sandwich and watch a game late at night.
This place is absolutely filthy I came into order the girl had several different meats and eggs on the grill in the grill was absolutely filthy you can see from the pics. Also the spatula was terribly filthy with burnt cheese and meat and food all over it I brought it to the attention of the girl and she did absolutely nothing. As you can see she even threw raw meat on the grill and was flipping it and also was flipping other people's orders as well as the eggs with the same filthy spatula. I am super disgusted. Check out the pictures. When I got back to eat my sandwich it was super soggy and breaking all up I could barely finish it. My stomach feels super yucky after she flipped my eggs and everything right after touching raw meat with the same spatula. When I brought this to her attention she had plenty of time to change the spatula but it looked like she just really didn't care she kind of rolled her eyes and kept cooking. The third picture best describes what I'm saying.
A cool Pittsburgh restaurant, I'd highly recommend it to anyone visiting. There are several locations, I visited the Forbes Ave location. It was small and cute, had a real cozy vibe. It had an upper mezanine with seating that overlooked the lower level. Definitely will be returning.
My son asked that I stop here for lunch today and I was not impressed. I ordered the Sirloin steak and cheese sandwhich and the bread was dry and the steak had no seasoning whatsoever. I called the waiter over to tell him I wanted something different because the steak had no flavor and he says “it comes like that”. I asked if they just slap the meat on the grill without adding seasoning and he looked at me like I had two heads. I then asked for Garlic parm wings because who can mess up wings right? Well the wings come out and they’re fried well just like how I like them but when I take the 1st bite, I notice there is no flavor to the chicken and the batter tastes like old oil. I could only taste a slight pinch of the garlic parm. Only ate two wings because I just couldn’t eat meat with no flavor and old oil. I wondered if it was me because how is it that two entrees have no season? I wondered if I had Covid and my taste buds were shot so I did a home Covid test which came back negative. It’s obvious that this place, after looking at some of the reviews, has a tendency of delivering food with no flavor. I don’t get the hype of this restaurant but definitely one that I was extremely disappointed in. I ended up tossing the wings in the garbage
Some 13 yr old kid in Vegas told me about this place in 2008 when I asked him what's the best sandwich in Philly was. I don't remember if it's pats or genos but he said if i ever make it to this town to try Primanti Bros. Years later, I make it to the burgh' and wherever that kid is now, thank you Austin. Man were you right.The pics don't do these things justice. As far as food goes, these things are a must-see like a Mt Rushmore or Disney World.Planning on a return visit in February.
No frills, just function. Primanti Bros gives you just what you need when you waddle in the door looking to lose some waste. Just like their sandwiches, they put in everything you need in one package and let the product do the talking. Extra toilet paper on top of a double bath tissue dispenser, air fresheners, soap AND hand sanitizer, all part of this well thought out, throw everything at the wall approach.Urinal and toilet side by side?! We Absolutely Love it. Options are my middle name. This may not be an accident when you're in the middle of the University of Pittsburgh's campus. Lifelong friendships are made in bathrooms like this.It is definitely not the most tidy, but for late night on a Saturday standard expectations are thrown right out the window. The staff can only so much against the will of a tipsy college student who can barely find their tip. Although they leave a little to be desired in the aesthetics and style department it is hard to find too many complaints. A bathroom that embodies the hard working and get-er-done attitude of Pittsburgh isn't easy to find and Primanti Brothers manages to nail it.
