Worth Noting
According to the Philippe's legend, the French Dip was invented in 1918 and got its name from the French roll it’s served on or because the name of the policeman it was first made for was officer French. They’re not sure which. Either way, it was created by accident when the French roll Philippe was making the sandwich on was dropped into the roasting pan with the meat juices. History was made.

Reviews

One of those rare cases where a restaurant deserves a 5-star rating! The food of the highest quality nicely presented and showcasing a variety of flavors. The service was warm, informed, and so professional. Our waiter made excellent wine and beer recommendations without being intrusive.

The best sandwiches ever!! Made fresh to your taste. No inside dining at the moment, however, they converted the parking lot into a huge outdoor dining area. As each person leaves all of the tables and chairs are sanitized. Plus the added bonus tables are litterly 6 feet apart and staggered to ensure social distancing.
