The LA Original, established in 1908 that created the French Dip in 1918, and has been owned b y the same people since 1927, and in this location since 1957, and home of the 9¢ cup of coffee, is an LA classic that everyone needs to try! This time I took Kelly because she likes French Dippe sandwiches, and had never been, and we had a wonderful time! The sandwiches are always good, and we tried some sides. There is also 2 ample parking lots on Ord, though if you are going on a week day at lunch, expect a long wait (and you will always wait in line along the sawdust strewn floor. Philippes is always good, and always tasty, and quite inexpensive as well.

Philippes “French Dipped” Sandwiches are freshly roasted meats on a french roll dipped in Jus created from teh meats. You can get “single-dip” “double-dip” or “wet,” and you can get beef, pork, ham or turkey for $5.35 or Lamb for $6.50, but the beef is the classic, and is tender and delicious, with some of Philippes hot mustard, they make on site! The sandwiches are juicy and amazing.

We also got a side of the tasty pickled egg, which is a bit dry, but tasty, and seems to be pickled in beat juice, and which comes with some spicy peppers. I also got some chips and and ice tea.

You might have to fight for seating though, as their is not too much, but the French Dippes are perfect are delicious!

Located in the Hollywood and Highland mall, this is actually a quit tasty french dip place. The food is high quality and good, and fast and they have a huge variety of condiments including lots of hot peppers and even habanero mustard, ketchup and hot sauce.

All 3 of us got Roast Beef Dips, Double Dipped (you can get dry, Dipped, Double Dipped or Submerged) and you can get Pastrami, Turkey, Pot Roast, Lamb, Pork or Veggie. And you get a huge vat of the Sip to dip your sandwich in.

I slathered mine in pickles, jalapeños, habanero mustard and dipped each bite. Delicious.

Maybe not quite Philipe’s, but still pretty damn good.
