If you're looking for an amazing, cheap French Dip, Philippe's is the place. The originator of the French Dip (yes, you heard me right), Philippe's is perfect right before a Dodger game! But get there early, as the lines can get REALLY long before Dodger Games!

I believe this is the only place that serves french-dip sandwiches. Good lamb sandwich but it does not taste lamby. Cole slaw is good, too.

The cons: the service is inconsistent--sometimes good and sometimes bad. And the brownies--yech! Totally skip it!

Breakfast is good. Lunch is good. so is dinner.

Gets a bit crowded and the prices are immune to the economy but all in all, its a great place to get a good french dip that won't break the bank, and to get a good slice of chocolate cream pie.

Don't smell the mustard, just dab a bit on and take a bite. If you inhale it, you'll not only clear out your sinuses but you might end up clearing out your tear ducts too.

I always get the same thing, double dip beef sandwich, with a side of mac salad. (with a lemonade)

for breakfast its two eggs any style with corn beef. (with a cup o joe)

if i need something to take the edge off my sweet tooth, it'll be the chocolate cream pie.

go here for breakfast, walk around olvera street, stop by the walt disney music hall, and union station, mosey over to chinatown for lunch, or reverse the order and you've got a great day in downtown la.

plenty of parking- the Roast Beef dip with cheese is a real treat!!! the only problem I have with the place is most of the time you get a rude or snotty sandwich clerk. I keep getting the tall blonde that has an attitude- I gotta stop standing in her line!! LOL other than that!!! THE DIPS ROCK!!!!

I went for the first time yesterday, and it was really, really good. Just yum. Everyone hates on the beef dip, but I had that-- I think asking for "double dip" is a must-- and it was really good. The lamb was also good, but it was a little salty for my taste. Of all the sides, I found the cole slaw to be good, but the potato salad to be better. I say go. You'll like it.
