I'm a New Yorker, so I didn't expect any old-school taverny-type places in LA, but this reminded me so much of the White Horse. Great ceilings and woodwork, cool lighting and booths, and decent basic food. Not a place to go for fine dining, but definitely a place to go for a great atmosphere. And the best neon sign!

We are not drinkers, but we recently moved into downtown, knew this place was famous, and decided to experience it as a restaurant, not for the bar scene. We have been several times and it's very good for a slightly different twist on sandwich-type fair. To me, the french-dip was boring but my wife loves it. I prefer the pork... More

I enjoyed the "big dipper" French dip sandwich with their special mustard and a spicy pickle and an IPA beer.

Overpriced possers bar go to the King Eddy Saloon its less than half price and you meet real people and bartenders not actors waiting to be never discovered

I love this place, most people prefer Phillipes but I prefer here, Plus I can get a good beer here which you cant get at Phillipes

this is an incredible place to visit, the bar in back a must but the food is just ok.

Just a great sandwich to sit down and enjoy a meal..inexpensive..I had the lamb and beef, my girl friend enjoyed the pork..we had a side of Mac and cheese,and pecan pie..all delicious, if I'm back in LA I would most definitely go back again!! Stay away from philiPpes they don't even compare. The meat here had flavor..philiPpes bland and cold
