We ordered one beef and one lamb and split them. The lamb is the one on the right and beef on left. Surprisingly the sandwiches did not come with au jus. Rather the rolls were already dipped so it was constructed similarly to an Italian beef sandwich. They were good, but certainly not great. I really feel the place is still around because of the claim to fame rather than amazing sandwiches. The beef was certainly tender, though not especially spiced. Same goes with the lamb, though obviously a touch more gamey. Also had a side of cole slaw which was decent. Highlight of meal was thinking the squeeze bottle was mustard when it was really horseradish! Oops!
Try it cause it is the home of French dips, but don't be expected to be blown away by an amazing sandwich. It was relatively cheap though so it was worth it. The crowd was also an interesting mix of locals and clear tourists. Also had random wood shavings/chips on the floor, perhaps for that local barish (they served beer and wine) feel. Just an interesting spot all around.
