This place is a good, honest copy of a place in Pittsburgh with a similar name (Primanti Bros). The main draw is the variety of sandwiches piled high with toppings. I went for the pastrami: Italian bread, hot pastrami, french fries, oil & vinegar, peppered cabbage & provolone cheese. It was a strange sounding beast, but one that certainly aimed only to please. The wings were ordered by the 10, got 20 of them for $13.50. Bit steep, but this is SF. They were large & smothered in a fire-engine-red hot sauce. They weren’t too vinegary, nor were they very hot. The sauce was quite buttery and savory. Would have preferred a bit more heat (they only had one heat level), but they were well balanced. Texture & size were good, crunchy and big. The cracked pepper on top sealed the flavor deal. Good selection of microbrews, simple/friendly service, & great CA microbrew selection warrant a second visit.
