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. Pros: Bustling, lots of people, good sandwiches and sides Cons: Parking could be tough sometimes. Also, some people won't like the lines/crowd.

The atmosphere is beautiful and reminiscent of times gone by, and I love eating upstairs where it is nice and quiet, or if I want to turn up the volume a notch downstairs is also cool, and they have this cute little museum place. Phillipe's offers free parking which is good. I ordered a ham sandwich which was $6. I got 2 pickles for a $1, and a brownie for $2.10. I'm not sure what all the raving about a gravy dipped sandwich is all about. The prices are way extreme for a sandwich and a very small brownie. Now, if I want to Jon's market I would get a 25 cent roll, and 3 slices of ham for a $1 make it $1.25 for a whole sandwich! And I could make my own gravy at home for pennies. PLUS, the fact that you have to give a tip--just doesn't make sense, because it's like a fast food joint with the stuff allready prepared, and the waitress just puts the stuff on your plate like Mc Donalds. Thanks, but will not visit again. Pros: Great Environment, Free Parking. Great Historical Landmark Cons: High Priced Sandwiches, and Dessert.

I've been there many times in the last 5 years and this place's food is so great comparing to the price I've spent. The sandwiches always come with big sizes and the dessert is super generous. The only cons is the service but I don't make it bother me because all I need is good food and good dessert!!. Pros: good food at reasonable price Cons: a bit bad service

Phillipe's is the best french dip sandwich place is all of the country. The bread is so fresh and the mustard they use is amazing. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone.

Unless you have to go, just to say "I've been there" steer clear of this tourist trap. Poor quantity (sandwiches are very small) Poor quality ( I tasted the bread, remeber the old "where's the beef?!?!") (pickled eggs arent really pickled, they are merely colored and slightly flavored) Poor value (Too expensive for a sandwich) Pros: Coffee. Cons: Everything except the coffee.

This place has been around for a long time. The french dipped sandwiches are terrific. You can get lamb, turkey, beef, and they are all great. It gets crowed during lunch hour. Lots of people from downtown go for lunch. The lemonade is good and so is the potato salad and cole slaw. I would recommend this to everyone!

For realm the best French dip of your life. Good side items, all served a la carte at prices that are so low you'll do a double take. Also, wines by the glass at unreal prices, though I am not sure who's enjoying a glass of Silver Oak with their sandwich, it's possible. Iced tea is maybe 40 cents. You wait in long lines to be served by counter girls who have worked their for decades. It's L.A. history alive before your eyes and you will never have been anywhere like it before or since.
