And this is only their second best seller? You must experience this place when in Pittsburgh! To get the full deal, go to the "dahntahn" location in the Strip District!!!

Try the Corned Beef and Cheese sandwich . Comes topped with Fries , Cole Slaw , and Tomatoes on huge Italian bread . One of the better sandwiches youll ever have. Solid draft beer selection as well .

Welcome to College

A Pittsburgh tradition since 1933, we strongly recommend stopping by during a college visit to Pitt! All sandwiches include fries , slaw , and tomatoes and they are UNREAL!

Eric Tsai

I would definitely recommend the Corned beef and cheese sandwiches , it's absolutely amazing!

Christopher Brinkley

The ham or roast beef is always a good classic to lean on, but for a true pittsburgher always gets the cap and egg

Dianna H.

Pastrami with cheese + egg . You can thank me later.

Jacob Van De Weert

Only open until 3am Thursday through Saturday. The rest of the week they close early. Plan your after bar food accordingly!

Mike Kremen

Original is great - Raging Cajun Chicken sandwich even better!

Cynthia Tran

The coleslaw and fries combine in the sandwiches is just perfect!

Kielbasa and egg always

Capacola Egg and cheese ...enough said.

just learned the hard way that there's no reason to order fries ... your sandwich comes STUFFED with them!

Good food, and decent prices for being in the city .

They have fried pickles here.

Black Angus Steak Strip & Cheese : just do it.

Overrated. Sandwiches are dry as a bone. And say goodbye to the roof of your mouth: the bread is so hard it could double as a razor.

Eve Shum

Fish and cheese is my thing
