Terrible experience today because of the manager. My Fiancé and I have been coming here regularly 2-4 times a week for the past two years and we have always loved it. We always seek out Marian as a server and she is wonderful. Marian and past experiences is why this is not a 1 star review.
Today was just like any other day we had Marian as a server, placed our order. When the food started to arrive we had an issue with garlic bread. They forgot to put garlic, oil and permission cheese on the bread, so we sent it back and they attempted to fix it. No big deal.
Then the pizza arrived... The pizza that was delivered to another table and made incorrectly for them so after discussing it for some time they brought the same pizza to our table and said our order was early. The pizza was not up to the standard we have come to love from this place so we asked if we could have another one that looked better. After much back and forth with the pizza the manager Mike came over. The behaviors Mike displayed as a manager were ridiculous! He was immediately aggressive with us and made statements that are totally inappropriate for someone in customer service industry. We explained to Mike that we saw the pizza get delivered to the other table, then sit back on the counter while they discussed the error. Mike said yes it was only 3 minutes. I explained to him that when they brought the pizza out it looked like a soupy mess and was not appealing " not their best work" to say the least. I watched them throw more cheese on it and put it back in the oven and then bring it to us again. I said honestly never mind about the pizza if that was their fix I am good and can go somewhere else. Mike then still aggressive went and grabbed a pizza that was in a box and said he has this one that is ready and asked me to look at it. Each time, it looked like the same pizza, I told him I am good and don’t want that. He then said "I will just take the pizza off since I can't make you happy." All I had asked for is what I ordered, a hot fresh pizza.
The way he spoke to us, and the aggressive tone he had with his language are not acceptable and we asked our wonderful server for the check and said I'm sorry but we will not be back.
She told us it was on the house. She didn’t have to do that but we do appreciate the gesture. I was looking for cash to hand her for a tip as I know it was not her fault. 10 sec later Mike brought us a check and said "I took the pizza off since I can't make you happy." Marian then said they didn’t get their food only the bread and half wings, Mike then said he will take care of it and we left.
It is very sad as we loved this place but this has happened more than once here with Mike and fortunately for us we get to choose where we...
Read moreTitle: A Flavorful Delight at Primanti Bros!
Rating: ★★★★★
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Primanti Bros., and I must say it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment I walked in, the bustling atmosphere and mouthwatering aromas filled the air, creating an immediate sense of anticipation.
First and foremost, let's talk about the food. Primanti Bros. is renowned for its signature sandwiches, and they certainly live up to the hype. The combination of tender, freshly grilled meats, crispy French fries, tangy coleslaw, and soft Italian bread is an absolute delight for the taste buds. Each bite was a harmonious explosion of flavors and textures, leaving me craving more with every mouthful. Whether you opt for their classic pastrami or their unique take on a turkey club, you can't go wrong with any choice on the menu.
But it's not just the sandwiches that shine at Primanti Bros. Their appetizers and sides are equally impressive. The loaded nachos, dripping with gooey cheese and topped with zesty jalapenos and fresh salsa, were a perfect start to the meal. The onion rings were crispy and golden, and the pierogies were simply divine. And let's not forget their extensive selection of craft beers and cocktails, which complemented the food impeccably.
What truly sets Primanti Bros. apart is their dedication to quality and generous portions. The servings are huge, ensuring that nobody leaves the table hungry. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always ready to recommend their favorites or accommodate special requests. The vibrant and lively atmosphere adds to the overall experience, making it an ideal spot for a casual get-together with friends or a fun night out.
The only minor downside I noticed was that the wait times during peak hours can be a bit long, but trust me, the food is well worth the wait. Additionally, if you're looking for a quiet, intimate dining experience, Primanti Bros. may not be the best choice due to its bustling and energetic ambiance.
In conclusion, Primanti Bros. exceeded my expectations in every way. It's a place where you can indulge in hearty, delicious food that will leave you feeling satisfied and content. Whether you're a local or just passing through, make sure to visit Primanti Bros. for a truly memorable dining experience. I can't wait to go back and try more of their...
Read moreMy husband and I come here all the time. We know the staff well most of them Luis Mike and Belinda all very pleasant.We just flew back in from vacation before going home. I know this is a late comment because we really don’t like commenting on social media. There are times we have come after work on a Friday night and have even met the owner very pleasant and personable man ( but of course Pittsburgh guy) that’s what makes this hard for us this isn’t the first time we have had terrible service. We stop in on Saturday Night July 16th we saw Mike he said Hello like always and asked us how we were very pleasant and he said that him And Belinda were just commenting that they have not seen us and I quote “ Belinda was just asking about you guys and she was worried about you “ because she hasn’t seen you in 2 weeks. We said to each other wow she realized we haven’t been here. We put our order in and had a beer and when I tell you the other woman waitress was so annoyed we were there she was standing almost in front of us on her cell phone trying to book a airline flight we believe that is what it sounded like. I just wanted another beer to have with my pizza Mike was at tables and not near the bar, and this waitress stayed on her phone as if we were interrupting her, she looked at us and then turned away then another younger waitress helped us. What made us so upset that we are even commenting is she made her phone conversation so loud like we cared what she was doing.When we were getting ready to leave about 40 min later we asked for our bill as she was admiring her long finger nails she loudly yelled for the young lady “ can you give them there check”again while she stood there on a cell phone…. We know this is not the Primanti way!!! WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!! The food Belinda and Mike so we will keep to Wednesday Nights and sometimes Tuesdays sorry for the one star but my husband and I feel we needed to bring it to someone attention. So when you want that PA good feeling ( even with a Cleveland Brown waiter ) visit this location on a Wednesday Night with Mike and Belinda!!!! They will not...
