Great pastrami sandwich, the fruit pies were delicious. Lots of seating available. Park and walk.

A classic for a reason! One of the best eateries in LA after all this time and I hope it stays forever. Get the original beef dip over the pastrami dip, get a side of jus and a side of potato salad and a beer or an Arnold Palmer and then relax and think about simpler times.

Most people come for the sandwiches, but Philippe’s coffee counter is a hidden gem. They serve it old-school: strong, hot, and just 50 cents for a refill. It’s a cozy corner where regulars chat over steaming mugs. I love grabbing a quick cup before work. A little taste of LA history in every sip.

The birthplace of the French dip sandwich still holds up after more than a century. The roast beef dip with extra au jus is a must-try. The old-school vibe—sawdust floors and all—adds to the charm. Prices are shockingly reasonable for such an iconic spot. A true slice of LA history

Best French dip in LA!
Visited on a Sunday after the Brewers whipped the Dodgers in a three game sweep.
There was a bit of a line but nothing crazy for such a famous place. They have parking located a little off site and do accept credit cards. Was talking to a few Dodger fans in line and they were a group of very nice gentlemen.
Would I come back?
No, if I was in the area, maybe, but I this was a one and done ordeal. The prices are fair but I wish they would include one side in the $14.50 sandwich price. The lemonade and sweet tea are very affordable.
Tips: make sure to add cheese and get your sandwich “wet”

Amazing 👏 💯
Same as always love this place
Just good old fashion food and service
Bee coming hère for that last 40 year plus
Everything is a hit.
Parents took me here before Dodger games and 30yrs later I got to take my kids. What a great place!
Had a beef dip, I asked for additional au jus cause the pre-dipped beef looked dry. I used all of the extra au jus provided to get that medium rare flavor I love. The potato salad was delish and the staff were very friendly.
I'll be back as everyone sez it's the best so I'll will try some different items.
Loved the vibe inside.
