Had my first visit here recently, and it was amazing. Love the food, service, and people.
Devon was an amazing server and made the best happy hour in Pittsburgh well worth it.

Meat and cheese sandwich, white bread, with fries and Cole slaw.....also ON the sandwich. Makes for interesting experience, both delicious and messy. I confess I pulled off most of the fries and ate separately.

Having moved away, it's been thirty ish years since I last had a Primanti bros sandwich, and it's still as tasty as ever. Sure, slaw and fries in the sandwich may seem a little gimmicky, but it goes together well and you can see how it would have been convenient for workers/drivers in the strip district.
Anyway, it's a busy sports bar. And a bit of Pittsburgh history, though you might not be able to tell since they're busy selling sandwiches and aren't trading on their local fame. Maybe the original shop in the strip district will have more memorabilia type of stuff. The Oakland one doesn't... And doesn't have room for it. IIRC the Oakland location was their first expansion out of the strip district. Now they have many locations in the greater Pittsburgh area.

They offer massive sandwiches - stuffed with meat, cheese, coleslaw, tomato, & fries at good prices. You can also get drinks here as well. Definitely a good late night spot or a quick lunch visit.

I love this place! The first time I went was September 2016. After my trip, they brought a location to Michigan (2 actually). They just abruptly closed both locations and for why I will never know. This was very disappointing news. I think their food is great and they offer a good selection of beer on tap.

An awesome grassroots Pittsburgh experience. You can't get a full Steel City experience without Primanti Bros. This is my favorite location.

WOWZERS!! These sandwiches/burgers were HUGE! I’m not sure if it is a Pittsburgh things or what. These sandwiches are a must try!
We came in at 8 on a Friday and got a table!! Nice little spot. Lots of college kids! Good beer and friendly staff.
We sat up on the second floor and enjoyed everything! There was lots of art on the walls and cool signs. They did have one vegetarian option, a black bean burger! A grilled cheese too! If you’re in the area and need a good bite to eat. Check this spot out!!
