text: It doesn't matter what I write in this review. If you've never tried it before and you find yourself in Pittsburgh, you're going to try Primanti Brothers. I tried it despite reading all the reviews telling me how mediocre it is. I needed to try it for myself. And I'm glad I did. Now I know I need to never come back here again. \n\nThis place is just one big NO. I have no idea how it has become so popular. I really do not get it. I got the pastrami and cheese. This was the sandwich: a slice of regular white bread, three slices of tomatoes, two tablespoons of bland cole slaw, 2 pounds of french fries, one tiny little slice of cheese, about 3-4 slices of pastrami, and another slice of regular white bread. As you can tell from my description, there was not enough meat, non-existent cheese, and way too many fries. The only thing on my sandwich with any flavor was the pastrami (that was actually pretty good and what earned this place a 2-star rating instead of a 1-star). But there just wasn't enough pastrami and the signature fries and cole slaw were not very good. \n\nMy sister ordered the cheesesteak, which is really just a cheeseburger. We also ordered the Smallman St. Fries, which are fries with cheese, bacon, chili, and sour cream. They sound delicious right? They looked delicious too. I was super excited to eat them. Sadly, like my sandwich, they did not live up to the hype. I think it was the chili, but I did not enjoy them. \n\nThis place was crazy crowded and it's clearly a Pittsburgh staple so maybe it's just me. It's sad really because the sandwiched have so much potential to be amazing!
