I had a craving for a French Dip, I haven't had one in many years but for some reason I could not get the thought of one out of my mind for 2 weeks!
I was looking at places near me with traditional american food. Surprising to find out very few had a French Dip. My first hit with one near me was here, so I ordered.
This was THE Best French Dip I have ever had! Seriously, ever. I always add cheese, they had a white swiss american sounded good so I went with it. I also found out not all of the sandwiches or burgers come with fries, mine did! I got the shoestring fries, yummy. I brought my sandwich home looking forward to it but wasn't expecting this. Opened up my box to a nicely packed meal. One of the things I liked best about the packing is the sandwich was wrapped in paper so it wouldn't get all mushy form the steam from the fries my pickle was also wrapped to keep it crisp as well. I opened my package of sandwich I have been thinking about for 2 weeks to a burst of the smell of roast beef. Open my Au Jus to a nice clean broth the prettiest broth I have ever seen, it did not have a sticky layer of grease just beautiful aromatic broth.
The sandwich was good it had a good amount of meat to bread ratio and then the angels sang into my ears as I dipped my sandwich into that amazing looking broth and tasted possibly the best Au Jus I have ever had in my life. I grew up in the midwest and French Dips are a big thing out there so I have had more then a few french dips in my lifetime. This broth was so rich and flavorful I closed my eyes and dreamed for a moment. This sandwich was so good I have been back a second time in a 1 1/2 weeks time. This Au Jus is a serious thing, like Pho and Ramen if you mess up the base there is no coming back. This Au Jus will make me become a regular, I am looking forward to trying other things but right now it's all about the Au Jus...
When I am ready I am looking forward to trying the Ruben next.
The Five Stars are for this sandwich and togo service. The waitress on the phone was very nice and suggested this particular cheese. When I came in to get my grub the cooks was an older man supper friendly and nice. The restaurant part was like an old school dinner and had quite a few people in it eating a bit older but who cares. Seemed very clean and you don't have the smoke from the bar attached to it because of the glass wall.
