This is home of the french dip sandwich. this is the only place where i can order a french dip and side of pickled chicken feet. it is a fave spot to eat before a dodger game or laker game. however, it's always busy regardless. i always go here before a laker game.
Subway sandwiches aren't in my rotation of good eats so I generally pass on eating sandwiches when given a choice. But there's something about Philippe's French Dipped Sandwiches, that I just can't get enough of. They're moist with au jus soaked buns, savory with fresh and tender cuts of meat, and go so well with an ice cold glass of water and a slice of apple pie.
An LA landmark for almost a century, Philippe's has been serving great sandwiches for generations and no doubt will continue serving patrons well into this new millennium. It was a popular hangout for my friends and family who grew up in the 1980s and became a family stopover for as long as I can remember.
But the same lineup of cars in its two parking lots and side streets remain. And the same lines could be found inside, with patrons waiting patiently for their turn to order. The same deli counter houses potato salad, cole slaw, and a number of desserts. On top sit the large glass jars filled with vinegar pickled eggs in bright fushsia liquid. The same wooden stools adorn the restaurant, along with sawdust on the floor. Some might even venture to say that the women behind the counter haven't changed much either.
