Staff at a popular Swissvale eatery known for its Battleship and Destroyer subs had a sinking feeling Thursday when no one showed up to claim an afternoon order of 300 sandwiches.

But, according to Triangle Bar and Grill staff member Rob Bradica, all turned out well.

The surplus sandwiches — 8-inch-long, fundraising-style versions in varieties including vegetarian, Italian, roast beef and turkey — didn’t go to waste. Many of them were snapped up by other hungry patrons and the remainder were donated.

“We were really busy today, so it helped out with our line,” Bradica said. “People have been posting online that it was real cool — they didn’t have to wait long, they got in and out.”

Despite pandemic-related curtailments, the Triangle’s takeout business has been brisk.

“We’re busy every day, from the minute we open to the minute we close,” he said.
