Know something we don't?
Legend has it that Philippe’s originated the French dip sandwich in 1908, a happy accident created by a French roll dropped in a drippings-filled roasting pan. Whether this is fact or urban legend, Philippe’s signature French dips – available with beef, pork, lamb, ham or roasted turkey – are truly special. At its present location since 1951, Philippe’s is rarely without a crowd. A favorite pre-Dodgers game eating spot, the restaurant is truly a Los Angeles institution. The open, friendly dining area features sawdust-strewn floors and long family-style tables that coax customers to share a sense of camaraderie. In addition to the dip sandwiches, a variety of soups, salads and sides are available. Sliced pickles and creamy potato salad are an excellent compliment to any menu option. Unusual options such as pickled eggs, beets and pigs feet are available for daring customers. And don’t forget the famous ten-cent cup of coffee, which has remained incredibly cheap since 1977.
