Sandwiches at Primanti Brothers: Pittsburgh Between Two Slices
Phlipper: Pamela's "pancakes" : worst ever. no fluff, no buttermilk, no pancake. Umm....they're called crepes everywhere else when you can't get them to rise. I'd just as soon eat breakfast at DeLuca's or Jo Jo's; they're both in the Strip, they both have that great diner feel, and they're half the price of Pamela's.

I have lived in Pittsburgh all my life and I cannot understand why people love Primanti's. The sandwich is very dry from the french fries.

I tried Primanti's at a friend's recommendation when I went to Pittsburgh and thought the whole sandwich was gross. Soggy fries, drippy cole slaw that made the bread all icky. Plus I'm allergic to tomatoes and they insisted on putting them on anyway. Way overrated.

Primanti's is the best. My friends and I used to cut school and explore Pittsburgh back in the day, and Primanti's was always on the list (we were from the sticks). Also, they served me a beer once when I was *ahem* not quite of age :-P. I really miss Pittsburgh, and even though there is better food to be had in the world, nothing really compares to something you enjoyed during your formative years.

If you can, go to the Strip District Primanti's about 2:30 am after the bars close. This is the "real" primanti's - jovial and hungry drunks and a line out the door. A real party atmosphere. When I was in college, I recall a nocturnal visit where all six of us ordered different things. The knife-wielding waiter said "ok, 6 cheesesteaks". When they're busy, expect anything. This same samurai was known to leap onto a table, knife in hand, and order everyone in the back, "out" and the folks on the sidewalk "in". He was the "greeter". Once seated at a clutter ridden table, the "busboy" would come by to clean the table (wheel a garbage can to the end of the table, reach down to the end with both arms, and slide the debris into the can). Voila, clean(?) table. I miss those days. They were great college memories (circa 1979).
Ironically, when we went there sober, the food didn't taste as good :-P Proud to be a Pittsburger!

I somehow managed to miss a lot of my favorite restaurants on my last quite short visit to the 'burgh since I moved last year, and sadly Primanti's is on that list. How I miss it.
@Phlipper: Pamela's is among the worst, overhyped places in the city. As someone else said, go to DeLuca's in the Strip - everything is good, but the eggs benedict is a must-have.

I am a bacon girl, all the way...egg optional...but the Red Devil hot sauce is mandatory! My stomach is growling and it's 10 a.m.!

If you enjoy Pittsburgh food try Shenanigan's in the North Hills on Babcock Blvd. They have Primanti's style sandwiches that I personally find to be better. They have awesome wings and appetizers. It's a younger crowd at night but they have awesome everyday drink specials. The bartenders are great. The place is usually PACKED to the max on Fridays and Saturdays and they just added on a patio which gave them tons of extra seating. Give it a look at www.shenanigansbarandgrille.com
