Eat n Park. Sometimes I go to the one in my neighborhood during a weekday lunch time, and it’s full of people who seem to know each other and the servers seem to know them. It’s adorable. Aside from that, hardware stores! Also check the library, there’s usually events like history talks, knitting groups, board game nights, etc etc. It’s not sandwiches but it’s good community engagement!

Very specific...but you'll find this at food for thought and Ritter's on a weekday morning.

Frisch’s in caste village. I know it’s not in the city, but everything else fits the op’s needs to a tee!

Out of state, but I’m very proud to admit that my paternal grandfather got into a fistfight at Hardee’s (aka Carl’s Jr.) with one of his coffee and breakfast sandwich buddies, who was a retired cop, a little over ten years ago. They both were about 80 at the time, and I understand that whatever the subject they fought about, it was pretty stupid.

My uncles were pretty upset about Gramps getting 86d from Hardee’s for the day. We grandkids had no such hang-ups.

I agree totally. I don't really drink much beer anymore, but for a long time PBR was my go to. I know the Pabst family, but when PBR became cool it blew me away. Asides from knowing the family, I always thought it was just a decent dirt cheap beer. Busch was awful and remains awful. IC is somewhere in-between the two for me.

The best place for this was Merante's, especially if the old man Sal was around!

Thank you for this!

Also I've heard old dudes talk about Peppi's.

If you speak Italian, then it’s playing cards at La Prima in the Strip.

Go to any McDonald’s from 7-9am, and you will get the experience you are seeking.

Smoke N Brews is a cigar shop in Bloomfield that has some of the best corn beef sandwiches in Pittsburgh. And, as is the custom, a cigar shop has no shortage of chatty old men.
