I ordered the double dipped.. I read another review on here that they regret getting that.. the server told me most people get double dipped.. I prefer to dip my own sandwich so the “wet” instead of single and double dip ks what your looking for instead.. I just asked for sauce to dip it in.. the sauce is really hot.. sandwich was about $11.72 now.. I recommend trying once but nothing to brag about.. still good..

The au jus was delicious, of course, and you have your usual cast of kooky downtown characters. I would say the pie was good, but I didn’t get enough to judge since my girlfriend ate almost all of it 😂 we got the beef on a French roll, single dipped. We even saved half a sandwich for our roommate, and it was still good. I think the coleslaw has room for improvement, but I doubt they’ve changed the recipe in 100 years so it’s all good.

Very reasonable prices for Los Angeles. Potato salad on the sweet side. Tender beef thin sliced. The line moves quick. Try going at an ‘off’ time, cause this place gets real busy.

What can I say, that hasn't been said? This place is the OG. Are you in LA? Then you come here. Done. I like the horse radish on the side and yes I ask for a little extra juice to dip it in and yes, it taste amazing. Everything does. The pickles. Yum! The eggs, Yum. The beets, I dont even like beets and they are great. The beef? You gotta try it.

With flat rate shipping, what is the approximate delivery time? I am purchasing souvenirs, not food.

Laurie Canterbury | Dec 6, 2020

Well that would largely depend on where it is shipping to ? I would say if USPS the longest time would be 5-7 days , obviously shorter if closer . Hope that helps
