I had one of these sandwiches yesterday. IMHO, they are really hyped up. Also, I think that the description is somewhat misleading. The "steak" is actually a rectangular hamburger patty. Maybe its ground steak, I don't know. My definition of steak in a sandwich is strips of meat, not a ground-up patty shaped into a rectangle. Also, the patty is bland. I don't believe there is any flavorings in it. I like the idea of having my fries and slaw in the sandwich. Maybe next time I'll try some other meat. Also, its quite a bit of food for less than four bucks - and enough cholestrol and all that good stuff for the entire week! Personally, I prefer the steak sandwiches of the Steak Escape. Its a chain, but, hey, they are good! ************************************************************************** Aziz A.

Primanti's cheesesteak

Try the fish sandwich! That's what I always get. I never get
around to trying any of the other sandwiches because the fish
sandwich is so good I always end up ordering it.

After 19 years of eating at Primanti's, I definitely agree that the cheesesteak is underwhelming. Try a tastier meat, though, like the capicolla, hot or sweet sausage or cajun chicken breast...now that's a sandwich! By the way, Pickles on East Ohio Street on the North Side sells very similar sandwiches which they call "New York Deli sandwiches", fries, slaw and all....Naples Station in Monroeville also sells sandwiches with fries and slaw, but I can't recommend them.
