Primanti Bros

Can’t go wrong here, really. I never had anything bad! The sandwiches of course are great, but many of their other items are good too. I really enjoy their wings, and their «side salad» was bigger than most places’ entrée salads. My family gets their fried zucchini, burgers, chili, etc. Never any complaints! Can get busy during game nights, so I recommend takeout during those times! Even fries and wings seem to stay fresh for takeout.

The best part about Primanti’s is that it’s always the same no matter which location you’re at, and always delicious. This specific location in Lebo gets it right every time! They have a really awesome beer selection too, because you cannot have that slaw, meat and potato deliciousness without washing her down with a cold beverage! Really good happy hour specials too. Btw, they do have other items on the menu besides their sandwiches but I could never, just no, not into anything besides what they’re known for!

Well I have to give it to them it was pretty damn good.
Me and my fiancé came here because we were in Pittsburg and we were told we had to try this place out I was skeptical at first because when we walked in it took forever to find a waitress. But as soon as a waitress arrived she was amazing and very fast as well as correct with our orders I’m just going to review what I experienced.
I started the by ordering the chili with cheese as well and the street man fries I believe it’s called. The chili was amazing and just the right size it came out quick and it was hot and spicy which is how I like it the cheese melted off of it and it tasted like home made chili instead of proceeded chili. The fried were spicy and hot as well they had peppers and melted cheese on the top of it, it had the perfect amount of fries mixed in there.
I ordered the corn beef sandwich for my main course i guess and it was huge and amazing I loved it, it was full of corn beef and had coleslaw loaded with fries and it came out almost immediately after we finished the sides which is perfect time.
For our drinks we both ordered the sunk ducks and it was humongous and mixed perfectly and it came with a small rubber ducky inside of it.
The service was incredible, I believe we she was actually a hostess but she couldn’t get the waitress or waiter to serve our table due to it being extremely busy so she took care of us and she did amazing she was fun very nice and she knew everything about the menu which is good for us because my fiancé had Aton of questions.
All in all this was a great experience. Great waitress great food and great atmosphere. If we are in Pittsburgh again we will be back for sure.

Great unique sandwiches. A staple that has definitely endured the test of time. What was once a fast place for truckers to gab and go, is now a relaxing and satisfying place to enjoy one of a kind sandwiches. Downtown is must see at least once. There expanding everywhere so look for one close by. Thanks Primanti Bros.

We came here for an early dinner after a youth hockey game. We were all in good spirits since our team won. Being in good spirits always goes a long way in having a great time at a sports bar. And a great time we had! Two of us had the personal pizza. Their crust is the best. It is simultaneously crunchy and chewy. The beer went well with it too. Another in our party had a classic primanti’s sandwich which he devoured. This is a newer building so the layout is nice with enough room, natural light, and many HD tv’s. The noise level was slightly elevated which heightened the sense of good time. The only downside to this location is getting out onto Rt 19. Sometimes turning left toward Bethel Park is not possible due to traffic.

If your looking for reasonably priced food, good drink specials and a good staff this is the place. Food always comes fast and hot!

What can I say about Primanti Bros?!
This is the place that most chefs, restaurant owners, bar owners, management, and servers need to study if they truly want to work and SUCCEED in the restaurant industry. If you’re in doubt… Try to park — the parking lot is usually overflowing. But you will still get seated faster than any other place with a line.
We come here when we are sick of Pittsburgh’s (really just South Hills’) jackass attitude on customer service and low-​brow outlook on food quality. Primanti Bros relaxes us with ICE COLD BEERS — no matter bottled or tapped, and treats us with BIG sandwiches that are CHEAP but never lacking on quality nor quantity, and provides the absolute premium example of FIVE STAR service worth our time and money in Pittsburgh. We leave loving Pittsburgh every time (that good!). GO STEELERS! GO PIRATES! GO PENGUINS! I would go as far as to call Primanti Bros the In-​N-​Out of Pittsburgh, a must for every visitor.
On one occasion, we went two nights in a row, almost three! Heck, I am going to go again this week, because I am craving the experience after another shitty day of smart ass attitude and zero help — this time just trying to get my damn bicycle fixed at a «Pro» Bikes. A week to replace chain, tape, and tires for a 30 minute to 1 day job (if busy). That would be an equivalent for waiting a week to replace your windshield wipers at a dealership. Pittsburgh. South Hills. Yuck. But no waiting nor BS servings of poor attitude is to be found at Primanti Bros!
Primanti Bros doesn’t just have daytime beat. The bar at night still scores just as high as daytime hours with excellent service and top quality food, past most other «bars» kitchen closing times. The Walnut Grill for example was our first choice — went in and ordered drinks — the chairs were raised onto the tables hours before actual closing time — kitchen closed although the wrap-​around bar and a few booths were seated with many parties — we had to go get the server to serve us and go get the server to pay even though it was not busy at all — and then we left, walked back to our house and went to Primanti Bros to actually eat and drink more! Walnut Grill lost a lot of money on us and will continue to lose money to Primanti Bros because of that lazy, late eat-​out night. Not to mention the food quality is super inconsistent there — how hard is it to make edible nachos and serve them hot every time!!! Very hard apparently.
What do I order every time I go to Primanti Bros? The Pittsburgher, because I can not get enough of it — go for the double to really satisfy your needs to be nurtured by your food.
We have brought guests here and sure they were not happy with an order or two for whatever reason that annoys them, but guess what? NO ATTITUDE, servers take it with a smile and a new sandwich comes out, and they return with a smile! And the guests return to having a great time. PERFECT.
You want a sports bar? YOU GOT IT. A TV at every angle for you to comfortably watch TV. The only thing I don’t like is the fact that they sell t-​shirts like it’s Joe’s Crab Shack! I shouldn’t have to go to a touristic place to get good, basic food and ice cold beers in Pittsburgh, but I do and really do not mind one bit! TAKE MY MONEY!

The service was right on point. Next, the hot sausage sandwich was nice especially the toasted buns wit added a nice crunch to the bite. the cheese was melted once again fully and perfectly. tomatoes were nice and juicy the sausage was definitely the star. it was spicy to a level you can enjoy the spice. the fries were crispy some were crunchy! Overall, had a very pleasant meal will definitely go back in and dine. did see a deal they are doing.

Good food. Tons of TV’s! Great place to watch a Game! BUT, it’s a Very Loud atmosphere. You have to talk Very Loud to the person next to you so they can hear U.

Came here with my parents shortly after Primantis had opened for the day. It was my first ever experience with Primanti Bros, as well as my parents. The waiter we had (Matt) was an awesome dude who explained everything to my sometimes picky parents to a T. He gave some solid recommendations and wasn’t overbearing or intrusive.
Anyways. We got some wings as appetizers, 5 Spicy and Hot, 5 Buffalo Ranch — both solid. Recommend. Wings were good, had enough meat to them and the sauces were both on point.
We ordered a Roast Beef and Cheese, Cajun Chicken, and Pitts-​burger. All were fantastic and more than enough food. Fries and coleslaw on a sandwich is what made me leary of Primanti Bros at first, but it really made the sandwich.
Couldn’t have been more satisfied with the waitstaff, the kitchen staff, the food, or the atmosphere. Great first Primanti Bros experience, I hope it carries through the other locations!

Over-​rated. I got the pastrami and I’m probably spoiled by Katz’s and all the other amazing Jewish delis in NYC but this pastrami did not have enough flavor. I was also expecting a very vinegar/​malty cole slaw but it was basically just plain cabbage. The fries were soggy and not good.
It’s incredibly cheap here with a great late evening happy hour although the IPA recommended by the waitress as «everyone’s favorite» wasn’t all that flavorful either. Unfortunately, Primanti’s failed to live up to the hype.

Primanti’s is a Pittsburgh original. They now have several locations including Downtown, West Mifflin, Southside and this location in Mt Lebanon. Primanti’s is known for their sandwiches which have coleslaw and French fries ON them. It sounds weird but tastes delicious. You have the crunch of the coke slaw and the saltiness of the fries which gives the sandwiches a lot of flavor.
Primanti’s also has pizza and wings. The pizza is really good with a great balance of cheese and sauce.
If you are visiting Primanti’s is a must try!

When I told people I would be visiting Pittsburgh I was told I had to try Primanti Bros. French fries on a sandwich sounded good to me. What I got was not at all what I was expecting. While the sandwich was big it was kind of bland with soggy no so good fries. I’m not sure what all the fuss is about.
I do have to say they have an excellent happy hour with half price pints that goes to 11:00 on a Saturday night. They also have a nice selection of craft beer on tap. Our waitress was also very friendly. If I lived in the area I would probably only go back for the happy hour.

I got a Fast, fresh, grilled chicken salad to go! I miss Pittsburgh salad’s with fresh cut fries and melted cheese… I cannot find this anywhere in Los Angeles! Which is probably a good thing that LA eateries DO NOT know how to make fresh cut French Fries!

Corporate take-​off of the original. Not as personal & ‘homey’ as the Carson St or Strip District locations but it gets the job done…

I’ve been here a few other times, and both times they were great. They stuff fries into your burger, so if you’re into that, you’ll love all of their burgers. Staff was kind and the service was good as well. There is plenty of seating and TV’s all around the place. There is seating outside too. I got the Pitts-​Burgh, which is their number 2 seller. It had a burger, tomato, cole slaw, and of course, fried. Visit here if you like fried and burgers!

Well, I guess I’m happy with leaving 3 stars. Like my previous review stated, I realy didn’t like Primanti’s when I lived here during college. I’ve been back tiwce since graduating (one in February from my last review) and once in July, when I brought my bf. He had heard all about the famous sandwiches, so he wanted to try one.
My buffalo chicken sandwich wasn’t quite as good as last time, and he was underwhelmed with his after hearing the hype. So, I think we’ll leave it with 3 stars.
Not the best restaurant, but not terrible, either.

What’s not to like! Fries fries fries! Fries on everything! Apparently even the salads have fries on them. I had the pastrami and cheese! The portions were huge! And I love the fries on the sandwich! We also had the Smallman street fries which were fries with jalepeno, cheese, bacon and sour cream. Yummy!
The waiter we had was super friendly and accommodating for the kids we had in out group.

This is a food MUST if you’re visiting Pittsburgh for the first time. I love a good sammie and when there are fries inside of it? OH MY! Major deliciousness.
There’s a variety of sandwich options: salami, roast beef, pastrami etc… but all of then have fries with a coleslaw salad inside. Most sandwiches are really inexpensive. Around $ 5-​$ 7. The wings here are also really yummy. They aren’t breaded but are pretty meaty.
I love this location especially since there’s plenty of parking and good for families. The inside is a typical dive bar. There’s a bar in the middle where you can watch the Pens game or whatever sports game is on. There are larger tables/​booths inside.
It’s not ‘fine” dining but definitely good food if you just want to grab a bite to eat at a casual restaurant.
I ordered a sangria here and it was HUGE. However, the taste was just so-​so. It felt like the ice watered down the wine too much. I wouldn’t order cocktails here.

Let me just say, I love Primantis! The food, the company, all if it.
I enjoyed my visit to this location immensely! Only negative – it was SO LOUD. It was pretty late on Saturday night & everyone was there to watch the pens.
Our waitress was attentive and really pleasant.
Get the nachos grande! It was amazing. my boyfriend and I plan to go again this Saturday to get nachos! Yum.
Service was kinda slow, but it was super busy – it was not slow enough to be irritating at all.
We were told 25 – 30 min wait, but were seated in 12, so that was good.
Great experience, I would definitely recommend this location!
