    I started going here regularly and I have to say this Primanti's by far has the nicest staff and the best food. They work hard and deserve some credit for always being on top of both service and quality.

    Food was really not great, the coleslaw was browning and soggy, instead of crisp like it is at other primanti bros. Also took upwards of 40 minutes for 2 sandwiches

    They were incredibly rude, as if engaging with me verbally was asking a great deal of them. I ordered online, they tried to ignore me, then told me it’d be a few minutes, okay, fine. I wait for like twenty minutes (in addition to the twenty before getting there) and after a while finally go up and ask again and without saying a word she grabs a bag that had been sitting there for who knows how long and hands it to me. Wasted a lot of time because the employees there have zero system of managing orders.

    Don’t get it. It’s just a sandwich with fries on it. There were 6 customers in the place and 6 employees and you had to beg for any service. Beer was flat. After asking for a drink one employee walked 5 feet away and leaned against the counter just to dig his hands through disgusting hair behind the counter where food is made and stare into space?! Yucky! Such a shame because it’s seems like it could be a cool spot to sit and enjoy yourself.
