Primanti Bros Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    Used to be Tuesday night regulars, then we got a couple raw pizzas and the service were downhill (if you get Crystal, good luck). The last time was so bad I emailed the GM, but never got a response. We went back tonight for the first time in months. It wasn't busy, which isn't a shock considering how our last couple experiences were. Stacy took care of us and was great. The service was much better.

    No matter what season, this Pittsburgh institution always satisfies. If you are a fan of any other team than one based in Pittsburgh, don't be surprised by the fan fever. Enough locations around the area to get a bite without the lines.

    This one is a little overrated, basically just a bar/restaurant place similar to Chili's or AppleBees, nothing special. Food is just ok.

    Double egg and cheese (plus fries & coleslaw squished between two fresh pieces of italian bread) with a Diet Coke. YESSSSS. Service was decent at this location. It seemed like they were understaffed, but our waitress was very sweet. Also, it was FREEZING. Like, tip of my nose was numb. I had to go outside after I was finished eating to thaw. Moral of the story: bring a sweater and don't drink your Diet Coke too fast or you'll be waiting for a refill.

    Oh Primanti's, I'm just going to lay it out there -- I think your signature sandwich is underwhelming. Sorry Pittsburgh, but I just don't get your obsession with fries and coleslaw on a sandwich. I know, I know...feel free to tar and feather me. :) But my feelings about a Primanti's-style sandwich are irrelevant to this review, because this is a suburban Primanti's -- as such, they offer a wider menu that goes beyond just the sandwiches. We happened to be in the area and my husband wanted to catch part of the Pens game, so we decided to stop by. We were seated in a booth, and it wasn't very comfortable -- they are all wooden with low backs. The low back was particularly annoying because not only could I hear every single word of the conversation from the people in the booth behind us, but the woman sitting there had really long hair that she kept flipping over into my side of the booth. Gross. To add to my already-kinda-sour mood due to the hair-flipper sitting behind me, we were ignored for 15 minutes after we were seated. I finally had to walk up to the hostess and ask if we even had a waitress. Finally one appeared (and to her credit, she was very apologetic for ignoring us). During Pens games (and apparently Wednesday Pirates games too), this Primanti's has a limited menu of snacks/apps that are on special (along with a Miller Lite beer special). Wanting to save money, we opted to share a few things from the special menu -- a slice of cheese pizza, chicken wings, chips and queso, and mozzarella wedges. The food was mixed. I was surprisingly impressed with the pizza -- it was made with a nice chewy dough, tangy red sauce, and plenty of cheese. The wings were pretty standard-issue chicken wings (nothing notable), although the sauce they were tossed in (honey buffalo) was tasty (an interesting combination of sweet, spicy, and vinegary). The mozzarella wedges were also fairly standard-issue. They were cooked well -- crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside, but otherwise pretty average. The biggest letdown was the chips and queso. The word "queso" to me implies a creamy blend of cheeses laced with spices. This queso, however, was more like glorified ballpark nacho cheese sauce -- really processed, overly salty, Velveeta-esque. Yuck! Other than being ignored for the first 15 minutes, the service was decent. Although there was a server (not ours) who nearly wiped out after slipping on a greasy puddle on the floor near our table, and instead of cleaning it up, he just made sure to sidestep it the next time he went by. He's lucky a customer didn't slip like he did and hurt themselves. It seems really lazy and risky to just leave the puddle there, and that bugged me. So overall, my first foray into the world of suburban Primantis was mediocre at best. I won't be rushing back here anytime soon.

    A true pittsburgh classic. Had a salami and cheese, stacked with fries and coleslaw snd hubby had the pittsburgher. Both very good and hot. Great cold beer and wine. Pirates on all tv's and great service!

    Usually 5 stars...sometimes the bartenders are overworked and completely ignore you when trying to place an order for a drink while you wait. All that said - great food and waiter was awesome. We make it a point to stop at a Primanti Bros when in Pittsburgh area.

    Love Primanti Bros but this location is terrible. The service is absolutely awful. Waited 15 min after being seated without being served before I left. Not even drinks.

    Primanti Bros is what much of the US knows culinary wise about Pittsburgh. Sandwich with coleslaw & fries on it. Simple, effective and gluttonous. What else does one need? Well I'll say this much, its something you should try at least once for the fact of saying you've had it. Its one of the first things I tried in Pittsburgh. You can go to this location or one of the others. As for the sandwich itself, its ok. Not a fan of the bread they use and would like to see more ingredient options: marinated steak, chicken cutlet, grilled eggplant.. to name a few. The sandwich itself lacks that kick. But again, its an institution so one must try it once. As for this location and other options. The pizza is decent. The last time around I had the buffalo chicken salad it was good. They have a large beer selection as well. Plenty of TVs and seating to catch the game (although it does not seem that many football/soccer fans dine in). Plenty of options for the rest of the group too.

    I have eaten my whole life at primantis in the strip and in harmerville. If your from pittsburgh there is no reason for me to try and convince you that this is the best sandwich. If your not a yinzer your in for a shock. Fries and coleslaw might scare you but welcome to the steel city. If you get your egg on it then you deserve a firm hand shake accompanied by an ice cold yuingling. Not sure what to get? Go with the pittsburger you will not be disappointed. To prove how good these sandwiches are. . . I was downtown and on my way out I stopped in market square for a delicious pittsburgh. On my way home after eating the first one I pulled off in harmerville and slammed another one of those babies. Best day of my life!

    If you have to get something other than the famous cheese steak with fries and coleslaw then order their pizza, it's under-rated.

    This was my first visit to a primanti bros, I have seen it numerous shows about this place on the travel channel and food network and I must say this place didn't disappoint. For those that don't know anything about primanti to bros they make sandwich with meat, vinegar based coleslaw, tomato and fries stuffed between two slices of Italian bread. If for whatever reason this tasty sandwich doesn't tickle your fancy, this location does offer a variety of other choices such as pizza, wings, and burgers. Enjoyed my experience at primanti bros and will be back next time I am in Pittsburgh.

    Great sandwiches, family friendly, sports TV, great prices. Start off with the batter fried spicy pickles.

    I'm in town on business, so of course I had to try this place. I had the chicken gyro and a slice, which was still cheaper than what is pay for just a gyro back home in Cali. The food arrived fast, and it was pretty good. The cucumber sauce is spot on, but the meat and veggies were a little thick cut and unseasoned compared to traditional gyros. The pizza was great however - I preferred the more tangy sauce compared to the sweeter stuff you get on the west coast. Atmosphere and service were great as well.

    Not bad... I was in town for my son's football combine & decided to try it. It's been several years since eating here... Service was good... I ordered the Black Angus Steak Sandwich & it was huge... The french fries they put on the sandwich reminds me of Kennywood Fries (yummy)... I found out that they have $.48 wings all day on Sunday & ordered a few buffalo wings with ranch dipping sauce... The wings were a 10 on a scale of 1-10... The restroom was clean... I would have given them a 5 star, but the garbage cans outside the front door were overflowing from the day before...

    Had to make a special stop on my road trip to DC here. Love their sandwiches, my top 2 are the corn beef and the Sirloin steak (my#1 favorite, the vinegar of the slaw goes perfect with the steak and fries). I wish i could of stayed long enough to have wings and beer. Big menu with something for everybody. Oh and if you can't handle the sight of the Steelers, don't even bother coming here, because it is all decked out in Steelers garb. Oh and they also have really good cheese fries here.

  • Paul H.

    The food is unhealthy and mediocre. The ambiance is too loud to allow you relax and eat. Not wanting to lard up, I ordered a vegetable soup (meh), a side salad (meh), and a pickle (good). My friend ordered a Garden Patch Salad with Fries and they spoiled it by putting tasteless melted cheese on the fries. Bad music was playing at high volume (this was Sunday, 10pm). I guess this chain appeals to lovers of grease, cheese, and noise, but not me. The next time I need mere sustenance I'll make myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich at home - it would be far more enjoyable than a return to Primanti Brothers.

    Service was almost none with me being alone. Slow & could never get a refill on ice tea. Sandwich was above average but I had to choke down the last of it dry without any refill on drink. Could never find the waitress??

  • Megh R.

    Delicious sandwiches, though not as good as the hype claims. I got the kielbasa sandwich, which was good, though the fries were soggy. The service was superb, and though the place was mostly empty when we arrived, it was totally packed when we left.

  • James M.

    Arrived on busy Saturday needing a table for 8. 20 min wait seemed about right. Helpful staff. Great portions. Good place for hungry family. Pizza, wings, chili, pastrami all solid in my book. Lots of TV's!! Bonus.

  • Tony R.

    Maybe I was expecting too much. I was in the area for business and decided to give it a try. I got the traditional sandwich but with turkey. Completely unimpressed. Nearly tasteless sandwich of tasteless meat piled with tasteless fries and tastless slaw. So now I went there. Won't be back.

    Ok so when I hear Pittsburgh, one thing comes to mind and it is NOT the Stillers(Steelers). I went to school about an hour north of Pittsburgh, so I listened to enough out of Steelers fans to last me a lifetime throughout my 5 years of college. Primanti Bros might just be one of my favorite things about Pittsburgh. I've eaten at several of the locations, including the one on Forbes Avenue, however I have been to this location more than any other locations since it is on the way to a college buddy's house when I make it out to visit him. The place has always been clean, although the service at times has been slow. Even with the slow service on occasion, the service has been friendly enough and I am usually catching up with friends I haven't seen in awhile, so no big deal to me. Primanti Bros sandwiches are something that you will probably wonder how in the heck it can taste good, when you first hear about them. The sandwiches are on some thick cut Italian bread with the meat, cheese, french fries, and cole slaw piled on. The first time I heard of this concoction, I was a little leary that it would taste good. One bite later, I am hooked for life! I know a lot of the Primanti Bros locations serve things other than the sandwiches, but trust me and get one of their "almost famous" sandwiches if you have never gotten one. The sandwich itself is typically enough for a meal without ordering any sides. This was actually the original selling point for Primanti Bros, as they were made to be a meal on the go for the many truck drivers in the Strip district. Some of my favorites are the capicola and cheese, pastrami and cheese, and the cajun chicken sandwiches. If you feel the need to get a side, I would go with the chili. I have gotten this a few times and have not been disappointed. Primanti Bros is one of those places I would say is a must visit if you have never been to Pittsburgh and are looking to grab a bit of local flavor!

    This is a Pittsburgh area tradition apparently, so I decided to try it out while I was in the area for work. I LOVE the concept of the fries and sweet and sour coleslaw piled on the sandwich, but the quality of the meat on the sandwich was horrible; a big mouthful of fat and gristle with each bite.

    Am I authoring YET ANOTHER "Pirmanti bros a Pittsburgh tradition blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda" type review ? Guess you'll have read on to find out, right ? This was my first time visiting the harmarville location.. It was super busy; which probably has to do with the fact that primantis is relatively close to the PA turnpike. We chose to visit on a Saturday night of a holiday weekend (xgiving) And it just so happened that a pens game was in progress. Hockey games and bar traffic absolutely can't be taken for granted in western PA . Our food arrived in a timely Manner. Despite the fact the fact the place was packed. 10 minute wait for seating. I don't what make of our waitress telling us that certain menu items might take up to an hour to come out.. After mulling it over i guess I'll err on the side of good customer service :) ( foolish is man who has mortons expectations on mcdonalds budget) Anyway I ordered sweet sausage sandwich sans the cheese of course. Kudos to my waitress for getting my "no cheese" request right the first time in an extremely loud and seemingly chaotic bar environment. Everything Tasted great. My sandwich came with a ton of that vinigear based slaw , and fries!

    The Colossal Fish was decent sandwich. not sure if i like a mound of fries in it though. fish and bread were decent enough. the Pitts Burgers Cheese Steak was really good. cool place to watch a game or kick back with some friends.

    Came to town on business, and everyone kept talking about this place. I looked it up on google and found out its pretty popular. Well my fellow yelpers, I'm a fan, great atmosphere, came in on football Saturday, order the colossal fish sandwich and it was excellent, if you're in the area it's worth checking out,

    Primanti brothers makes some of the best sandwiches in the world, if youre not too concerned with your health. This particular location is the most resturant-like of all of them, totally worth it.

    Food was good. Location was clean. Service was poor. Given a choice, I would save my annual Primanti experience for the locations in downtown. That being said, this is a great alternative to the Burger King Down the road...

    Very similar and yet a bit different from the flagship Primanti Brothers in the strip. The downside is that the signature sandwiches taste just a little different than at the original Primanti Bros. (or the others downtown or in Oakland). I thought the bread was thinner and less fresh, and it's possible the fries and coleslaw had a slightly different flavor. The upside is that the sandwiches are still pretty tasty, and there are a lot of positive differences. The menu is much broader than at the original Primanti Bros., including all kinds of bar food, kid's choices, etc. The ambiance doesn't have the gritty charm of the strip district, but it's roomier, easier to park, and still has a definitively Pittsburgh feel, with the Pens or Stillers always on the TVs, and plenty of sports memorobilia. The final kicker, and it's a nice one, is the beer selection, including a Dogfish 60-minute IPA which you can get for a couple of bucks at happy hour. Primanti Bros. Harmar is like life in the burbs: maybe less cool than dan-town, but pretty good living especially if you know what you're doing.

    Atmosphere was good Service was good However if you are looking for a Philly cheesesteak you're in for a surprise. It's nothing like. Keep an open mind and you might be pleasantly surprised. If you want a tradition untraditionally made ask for the Sicilian cheesesteak sandwich and again keep an open mind. I would go again.

    Great place to watch a game for the most part, but I do have some tidbits that I can offer management.... Your bartender this past Sunday- she was awesome, on top of things, friendly, attentive and just plain good... she was super busy and did not miss a beat IMO. I would give her 5 stars if I could. Your food runner this past Sunday- get someone who is not nasty and pi$$ed that they are a food runner. She practically threw our food down at us and when a friend came and joined us, she did the same thing. I do not care how miserable you are, try to be nice to your patrons when you are working... or get a new job if it makes you that miserable! Even the bartender acknowledged her attitude and apologized. Food was yummy, better than many other locations as I usually frequent the city locations and not the suburbs so the atmosphere is a tad different.

    My boyfriend grew up in Pittsburgh and always raves about Primanti Bros. So, of course, every time we visit it is one of our go-to places. I had high expectations going there and I was not disappointed. The food is delicious! Each time we've gone I've gotten The "Pitts-Burger Cheese Steak". I really wanted one of the salads the first time I went, but I was quickly told that you "can't go to Primantis and get a salad! You HAVE to get a sandwich". Well, I'm glad I listened, because the sandwich ROCKED! This location is the only one I've ever been to, but I love it! It's very spacious, clean, and the staff is great! Mmmm now I want a sandwich with coleslaw and fries on it!

    Stopped Friday evening for takeout.The place wasn't busy when I arrived. Placed order at bar. Waited over an hour and got no food. Had to ask bartender to have someone check on it, was told it would me one minute, 5 minutes later, still no food. Cancelled the takeout order, paid for drinks (you'd think they would have comped since I was waiting forever for food) and left. No apologies, no manager interaction, nothing but a woman in an apron who came running out of the kitchen as I was leaving telling me my food would be ready in another 5 minutes, I left and got a hoagie from Get-Go. I won't be back again - shame too, because their sandwiches are usually pretty good, the service was the problem here. *Follow up* E-mailed Primanti's corporate regarding this experience. They requested additional information and followed up with the location. The Harmarville story took full responsibility and admitted there was confusion and they dropped the ball. Customer service sent a gift card based on my experience and advised training will be provided and the incident reviewed as a learning experience. I will give them another try and hope the next visit meets the expectation to which I am accustomed.
