    I’m a Primanti’s fan. I always enjoy the food either eating in or taking out. The other day my boyfriend and I visited to place a takeout out order. There was a lady ahead of us who was completing her order and had an issue with the way the worker prepared the food. Another worker came to her coworkers defense. The customer became rude and loud about how long she had to wait. She refused to pay and continued arguing with the workers until she left in a huff. I told the worker how impressed I was with the way they handled the rude customer. Our food was made in a timely manner and was very good.

    Kitchen was very slow unfortunately. Prices are cheap as always, food was pretty good too. This location is a bit boisterous, more so than Oakland or downtown PGH. Decent enough atmosphere for a few drinks and their happy hour specials are well worth it.

    Kinda weird vibes but comforting late at night. It's always going to be the same. If you want a big sandwich you'll get a big sandwich. Not much more to say.

    For some reason they raised the price of a jack and coke from $5.50 to $7.00. This is now the most expensive normal place to drink on the S side.

    Gotta be the worst location in the franchise. We brought people that were visiting for the first time and kept apologizing for the awful service. The atmosphere sucked because of it. We tried to order an appetizer, they were all out of the main component. We asked for lemon for our waters, the server said she only had two pieces of lemon left… so we didn’t get them? The guy in the kitchen was nice and checked on us a few times but everyone else working there was miserable, rushing despite being almost empty, and had no good customer service tendencies to speak of. Our server stood at the table hovering for the check while our fingers were covered in wing sauce lol Embarrassing. Stick with the Strip or Market square.
