    Service from Katileen and Codey was superb! 10/10 would sky-dive into a foreign 3rd world country just to tell them about this Primanti Bros experience.

    I had heard tail of a great sandwich restaurant in the greater Pittsburgh area several years ago, so when my son and I decided to travel from Indiana to Penn State to watch the Hoosiers take on the Nittany Lions, I knew I wanted to give it a go. HOLY SMOKES! Absolutely one of the best reuben sandwiches I have ever had in my life! Fantastic all the way around. Reasonably priced, big portions, and quite honestly unrivaled flavor. If you are ever in the area, I highly recommend giving it a try.

    Great food with a twist. They put the cole slaw and fries right on the sandwiches. Sandwich portions are large and comes with fries. My fav is the reuben and hubby loves the smoked sausage sandwich. I usually request the fries on the side.

    Delicious food and great prices. My just a got the PR Rueben with fries and was very pleased. I got the crispy chicken sandwich with coleslaw. While I didn’t care at all for the coleslaw, the sandwich was tasty and had a huge piece of chicken on it.

    Dined here recently and was quite disappointed. Apparently special requests for your orders are not taken seriously here. Overall the food was good, atmosphere is fun. I asked for a sandwich light on the meat...I first had to discuss with our server at length (who was friendly and nice but I already felt on the defensive about my request) and then a member of kitchen staff approached our table basically telling me they were not willing to honor my request, explaining that the meat is pre-weighed,etc and looking annoyed the whole time. So I got my sandwich, piled with meat that I had to completely disassemble. Never had a dining experience where a simple request to get it the way I , the customer, likes it, was such an annoyance. Unfortunately I won't be back. If you don't have any special requests, dining here will be fine.
