Charley’s Grilled Subs

On one hand I would give this place two stars. On the other hand I would give this place four stars. So three stars it is!
Located in the main food court Charley’s Grilled Subs offers a variety of tasty meaty subs for your pre-​flight meal pleasure, but primarily variations of cheesesteaks. Everything here is made to order and grilled in front of your eyes. The food is absolutely delicious. The meat is cut thin and lightly salted. The bread is nice and soft. The provolone is deliciously melted. They make a great cheesesteak and very quickly at that.
They are also the unhappiest people in the airport. The McDonald’s people were smiling more. They did not smile, they looked depressed and forlorn. They don’t even talk to each other shouting orders and then disappearing in the back when their duty is done. Even their walk is one of dejection and sadness, more of a shuffle really.
Come for the food, but don’t expect the people to smile!

The customer service was some of the worst that I have ever experienced. The cashier was extremely rude and refused to answer any of my questions about the menu. She clearly hated her job and proved to me that she doesn’t deserve it. The food was mediocre and there are much better options in the airport for the same price.

Tasty philly sandwich for airport fast food, prepared to order. They had interesting tasting peach lemonade, I had never heard of it before, but it was refreshing. Good, friendly service too.

Located in the main food court in the middle of the terminals, this small eatery was open early at 4:30 to serve breakfast. Hardly any line so I figured to try it out. Unhappy employees, visibly so. I tried cheering them up and they just grunted, so if you need ambiance or a smile, try somewhere else.
The food though? Within 3 minutes I had my scrambled eggs, home fries, sausage, and toast. Topping it off was a bottle of orange juice all for $ 10 and change. Just like a food truck outside of a college, it was quick and tasty, with little fanfare.
I will come back simply because as a frequent traveler this location gives me what I need, something different, quick, and relatively tasty food.

I’ve never seen employees as angry and disgruntled as this restaurant. Scowling. Grimacing. Can’t imagine how bad working their has to suck, but Jesus… even the robots at Sbarro are faking smiles. Food was edible but I was afraid I was eating dismembered former patrons.

This is the way to do breakfast while traveling and in airports. Fresh food. Delicious and large portions. If you’re like me debating what and where to eat — eat here.

Tasty and delicous! My expectations were low because this is at an airport, but my steak sandwich was great and the fries were very good. Service was pretty quick and the dudes working the cash register and grill were efficent and appealing.
I’d choose this place over McDonald’s or Quiznos for sure.

«1 regular cheesteak please.»
Strike one, but for me, or the restaurant?
I’m at the Pittsburgh international airport, getting lunch before my flight.
McDonald’s? No. Sbarro? Nah. Quiznos. meh. What’s this, a cheesesteak joint in Pittsburgh?
Anyone who loves steaks knows you don’t order it like this. But this place has 3 sizes. And seemingly provolone and onions are defaults…
«Onions?»
“please.“
Pay the guy, wait for my order. I see a girl putting a roll through a toaster… Hope that’s not mine.
«lettuce, tomato, mayo?»
Pause… «no thank you» Strike two, c’mon!
Steak was kinda dry/​overcooked. Cheese was nice but, hard to mess that up. Can’t expect an amazing steak at the airport, so they get 2 stars. 3 stars cause its in Pittsburgh, and at the airport, and a better option than anything else, tho the burrito place next door looks interesting.
Roll was toasted. Strike three. Minus 1 star

It’s not Philly… heck, it’s the Pittsburgh airport. But for those of us passing through with no real hope of getting anywhere near a proper cheese steak, the offering here is more than passable.
Soft fresh rolls, the right choices of toppings, and quick service make this my regular stop when passing through the airport — and thanks to it’s central location, it works for any airline connection!
My seatmate (and sometimes my flight attendant too) eyes my sandwich jealously when I unwrap it. Mmmmm…
The only lament I have? The ratio of meat/​cheese to bread is a bit low, often leaving me with two or three «bread only» bites at the end of my roll. Boo, especially when the plane is taking off and I may be weeks or months away from my next PA stop.

Probably similar to other franchise locations, but this airport location is the only one I have been to.
With everything grilled up fresh, their cheese steak sandwiches are just more tasty than the Quiznos across the food court. I personally like a bit more seasoning on the grilled meat and vegetables.
Service is always friendly and fast which is important for the airport…
