    Some places just know how to make a random night feel important…read more I've been to @fishnorfowl_pgh a few times now and every single visit I leave just as impressed as the last. Chef Drew's consistency deserves its flowers because it's rare to find a place that delivers that level of care every time you walk through the doors. And no-I wasn't invited. I just genuinely believe in spending my own money at places I enjoy because that's what keeps this industry going around. The spots that make people feel something deserve people showing back up for them. The chicken parm will neverrrrr not get ordered at this point and I truly don't think I've ever left without a full belly and leftovers I was excited about later. Huge thank you as well for the duck dish and champagne that somehow made an already good night feel even better. Also starting a little series on the people I share meals with because food's always been tied to connection for me. This dinner was with Ashley ( @burghgourmetgirl ) -someone I met when I first started putting everything I had into content creation. She's quiet but confident in a way that makes people naturally gravitate toward her. And once you really get to know her, you won't stop laughing. She works hard, plays even harder, has seen more of the world than most people ever will, and somehow still stays one of the most genuine people I know. Pittsburgh's lucky to have her, but I have a feeling she leaves a little piece of herself everywhere she goes.

    Staff here was super kind and attentive. There's a lot to like on the menu, but I was only…read moreimpressed with maybe half of what we tried. Top items: - Dill focaccia. This might have been on special. If it's available, GET IT! The texture of the bread, flavor of the dill and salt, everything about it was so good. My favorite thing we tried. - I get the hype around the chicken parm. It is really good. The breading on the chicken stays crispy despite being slathered in sauce. It's well-seasoned. - They seem to have a solid cocktail menu. Everyone liked what they ordered. I love the option for mocktails. Meh items: - Caesar salad. Good, but not outstandingly good. Has anchovies, which most, but not all apparently, would expect, haha! - Rigatoni. The texture of the pasta was excellent, otherwise this was just okay. Bleh item: - Bone marrow risotto. Not a fan of the bone marrow presentation personally. The risotto itself was bland. Not appealing visually. Not worth ordering imo.

    You like traditional goto, must have, sandwich from Pittsburgh? If you do, this place is for you…read more This place was started by Joe Primanti in 1933 to feed shift workers from the local warehouses (coal and iron) and railroads. They are known for big sandwiches which now includes fries and cole slaw. The sandwiches provided value to workers...who were looking for a place to feed themselves to keep their energy up for a long shift. When you sit at the bar and you can only imagine the workers that sat here to feed themselves with what little they had. They found a sandwich between two pieces of soft Italian bread with a good balance of meat, cheese, cole slaw and fries...think energy and value. The history here is real and intense. Would I rate this as a culinary destination? Not particularly but I would say it's a must see to be part of US history as the town righted itself and came to life. The sandwich? I had the pastrami with cole slaw, egg, fries and tomato on Italian bread. Remarkably, the sandwich was light...despite it sounding heavy. The cabbage and tomatoes bring a great balance to the sandwich which makes it messy and remarkably light. Be prepared to get messy..so eat fast! I am probably talking too much about the sandwich...just go try it. The food is probably a 3.5 but it gets the extra .5 for the amazing history there. The service was great...well educated on the product, accommodating in every way. If you are in Pittsburgh, this is a must try.

    As an out-of-towner, Primanti Bros. was one of the places I had to try while visiting Pittsburgh…read morebecause of all the hype. Unfortunately, it was a huge letdown. I ordered the New Yorker, and it tasted like a basic sandwich you could get just about anywhere. Nothing stood out or made it worth the hype. I also tried the Angus Sirloin Steak & Cheese, and it was dry, bland, and lacked flavor. Definitely skip that one. To make matters worse, the service was slow and the staff came across as rude. Between the long wait and the unfriendly attitude, the overall experience was disappointing from start to finish. I'm glad I can say I tried it, but once was enough. I won't be coming back, and I wouldn't recommend it based on my experience.

    They are so unreliable. I am consistently disappointed. They don't bother to respond to emails,…read morethey don't review orders, and you have to baby-sit them the entire time to make sure that they fulfill your order. I won't use them again.

    I have been dealing with that location for over ten years. I have had numerous orders for business…read morecards for all my employees in all four of my office locations -- Pittsburgh and three other cities, and a couple years ago I started using them to print monitor calendar strips which I have given to my clients for the past 15 years. I used to order the monitor calendar strips online but switched to this Minuteman Press about four years ago because they were printing my business cards and I wanted to keep my business local. The monitor calendar strip order is the focal point of this complaint. I understand that ownership of that franchise recently changed hands several months ago. This is the first I have dealt with the new owner(s). In early December 2015 I emailed them to place another order for monitor calendar strips, just as I had done in previous years. The only thing I provide them is the quantity, my company logo and phone number to be printed in the center portion of the calendar strip. Each of my company locations has its own info for that center portion. I eventually received the pdf proofs for my approval. The center section with my company info for all four offices were all perfect. I ordered 2,050 of them, the same as I ordered last year. Last week a client called and advised me that the days for the month of March are kinda screwed up. I'd love to post the actual proof for everyone to see. The days (the numerals) are totally messed up numerous places for the month of March. It is missing (skipped) several days in two places, and even several days are duplicated- not once by four times. It was so jumbled up, it was kinda funny. I immediately emailed Lisa (I think she's the/a new owner of that franchise) to ask her about it. She emailed me back two days later saying she'd give me a discount on a re-print. I then called her to get clarification because I actually expected her to simply apologize and reprint them at no charge. She admitted that she missed the error but then said that since I okayed the proofs that I am equally responsible. I was stunned with that response. She insisted on the fact that I okayed the proofs, so it's not all her fault. I responded: Yes, I okayed the printed center portion with my company info on the calendars, but I certainly did not proof the actual calendar days. The format and layout of the months, including color and size, is 100% identical in every respect to the previous years I ordered this item. It's basically a template. I said: You mean I was expected to proofread an actual calendar -- every single day of every single week of every single month? You want me to make sure all the days of each month are properly numbered? She insisted that, yes, that was my responsibility. I said: Who EVER proofs a calendar day by day to make sure all the days are there and in the correct order? I proofed and okayed my company info to make sure it's accurate, and I am certainly responsible for that. I even offered to come to her location and she can ask the first ten people who came through her door if THEY would proofread the days of every month of a calendar as part of a proofing process, and that if she got even one person to agree with her that I'd agree to pay double. She wouldn't take that offer, said that's her policy, and wouldn't budge on a complimentary re-print. Her opinion and policy simply defies logic that I am responsible to proofread an entire calendar - day by day. If I make a mistake in MY business, I own up to it - even if it means a loss. I value my clients, their future business and, more importantly, my reputation. If I ever told my clients "well, that's our policy," I would expect to lose that client - and for good reason. Well, she just lost my future business. This review may or may not reach the franchisee, and I frankly don't care. I was so taken aback by her position that I felt obligated to let people know what and who they're dealing with and if they stand behind their product and don't care about losing a long-time customer. I have retained all my email correspondence, which quite easily and clearly substantiates my entire dealings with them. And I have no problem discussing them with anyone who contacts me because facts, especially written ones, are incontrovertible. Good luck!
