Honestly , this was such a cute place. Old school and very simple. This is one of those regular spots to get inexpensive food. I actually just got the pb&j when I went but a few of my group got the dipper and they thought it was great. I’d recommend going here just for the old school vibes !
Philippe's The Original is an LA staple. I love going here before a Dodger game. There's always a line out the door before a Dodger game. This places a huge. There is a lot of seating. The atmosphere is energetic. There are a lot of Dodgers fans. I love the quickness of the service. The women and men behind the counter are hustling, making the sandwiches, and keeping the line moving. I got the Beef Dip. I got it dipped in the aju sauce. I love adding the hot mustard that they have. Oh man, that is hot! It cleans your sinuses. They have a lot of choices on the menu, like different types of meat for the dips. Different types of potato and macaroni salad, pickled pickles, eggs, beets, and pig's feet. They also have a breakfast menu with items like pancake and French toast. A full breakfast menu. It's a 10 of 10. I truly recommend this place.
Great place to eat because it’s a historic spot. If you haven’t had it try it so you have your own decision if it’s good or not. I got to say I love all the LA times and pictures of the city that I love Los Angeles! A lot of memorabilia with the Dodgers I enjoyed seeing the bobble heads. I don’t know about yall but the coleslaw was awful I almost threw up . I told the manager and they switched it to the potato salad . Now that was a hit! I was able to see old telephone booths and take a picture with my beautiful husband ! Definitely feels creepy . Saw homeless going in the restroom but I get it they can’t control that especially being so close to the Union Station. Very clean place thought you are constantly seeing them pick up tables and sweeping ! Thank you staff glad I went to it for the very first time but it will definitely be my last because the food wasn’t good . Either that or I’m pregnant and my taste buds have changed .
I heard I had to visit this on my trip to LA, so I did. I parked the car for free in Chinatown and walked from there to Philippe's. The staff was very welcoming, even to a new and unsure customer like me. I took the beef double-dip with mustard, and some pickles. It tasted very good, and kept me full for a long time. Would definitely recommend.
It's wonderful that they have managed to keep this wonderful establishment going. It feels like a time capsule; servers in 40s uniform, sawdust on the floor, a row of old phone boxes, classic wooden booths, and a fantastic menu from the period. We had the beef and turkey dips and their famous macaroni salad...all delicious.
