If your going to the NRA Convention, might want to boycott Primanti Bros !

That sucks, I actually enjoy their sandwiches when I'm in town. Hope they change their ways.

Shame to, not that I plan on being in Pitt anytime soon, but Ive heard rave reviews of their sandwiches and was looking forward to trying one at some future date, not anymore though !

STRONGLY suggest NOT patronizing this outfit and letting them know exactly why !

Food is alright, but the locals make it out to be like the place Jesus ate or something.

Primanti Bros to Pittsburgh is like Pat's & Geno's Steaks are to South Philadelphia.

When I was out in Pitt I tried one of their roast beef hoagies, the only difference was they put Cole slaw & fries right on the roll with the rest of it, different, OK, but nothing to write home about.

Response from Primanti Bros about OCing:

Thanks for writing and for wanting to make Primanti's part of your visit to Pittsburgh! In answer to your question, we abide by the laws of Pennsylvania in regard to carrying guns.

Enjoy your visit! We appreciate your patronage!!!

Take care,

It has come to the attention of the management of Primanti Bros. Restaurant that a cook in one of our restaurants was photographed in a Mayors Against Illegal Guns t-shirt. This is not an endorsement of this issue by the Primanti Bros. Restaurants. Primanti’s is in the hospitality business and welcomes guests from all walks of life, with a mission to make every one of our guests feel welcomed. It is not infrequent that our guests ask the Primanti staff to pose for a photo. There are photos of the Primanti staff with Glenn Beck, Hillary Clinton, John McCain and Billy Gardell. This is not an endorsement of the CBS Show Mike & Molly although we do think it’s very funny. The fact that this request was accommodated by the staff is not an endorsement of this organizations position nor was this picture posted by an employee of Primanti’s. Primanti Bros. Restaurant has no opinion on this issue; however if you ask us about sandwiches we will have a very passionate opinion.

We welcome all conventioneers to our restaurants and will continue to be an ambassador of the Pittsburgh community. The community of Pittsburgh has embraced the Almost Famous Primanti sandwich and we feel strongly that we embrace all visitors into our community.

It is a little more than a member of your staff posing for a picture in a T-shirt.

It would be the big billboard in your parking lot.

That people are upset about, in addition to the T-shirt.

lol

Gotta love this forum.

A thread starts in an extremely small corner of the internet about a local restaurant that the rest of the world doesn't even know about.

And right away the restaurant registers an account and start posting.

You may want to tell "Fix Gun Checks" on facebook to stop posting controversial photos where they tricked your staff into appearing to take a stance that is extremely unpopular with a large number of your patrons....

This is good to know. Myself and my family love eating at Primanti Brothers when we are in town. Intact; we often go out of our way for it.

I can say that we won't be visiting their business again, nor will we recommend them to our out of state visitors. Seeing them associated with Bloomberg makes my blood boil and I now see them as traitors to our PA heritage.

Unless they prove me otherwise, they wont be seeing another dollar from my gun toting hands.
