Adamson's French Dip

It's just delicious. Great choice for lunch :). The meat is delicious and the owner is often working alongside his employees, caring about service quality and customer happiness. It's mostly meat and bread and jus so maybe not the best option for a vegetarian person ;). Oignon rings are super tasty and they can adjust the meat to your preferred level of "fatness" (i.e: you can ask for lean meat if you want to) :)

Mid tier taste

Sadly it is no longer what it once was. Originally they offered a Top Sirloin French Dip and Prime Rib French Dip. Everyone has their preference, but the Top Sirloin!!! If you know you know. They no longer offer the Top Sirloin option and I'm just not a fan of the Prime Rib option. I've been going to this place since their very first day of business. It used to have that "Family Run" vibe where regulars were greater as if they were part of the family. Service with a smile and attention to top quality product was the norm. I can no longer say that is the case. Cheaper lower quality labor has replaced the family element and it shows. The Top Sirloin French Dip set Adamson's aside from every other French Dip you'll ever taste. Now it's gone. The Prime Rib French Dip is still decent, but at that price point and limited store hours I will go elsewhere. Sad, but all good things come to an end. Adamson's use to be an anticipated destination I looked forward to. Now it's just another place on El Camino.

Smallest most expensive sandwich in the world. Lower rating due to low service offering (and they keep cutting services) versus huge price (and keep going up). Not joking, I’ve traveled all over Asia, Europe and this place is more like a hobby for a local billionaire and they don’t care if you come or not, they are going to keep raising the price and see if you’re stupid enough to pay for tiny tiny French dip. Sandwiches are bigger in France than this place. Very limited condiments and you have to do all the work yourself, even though you’re paying a huge price. Wow! Last, place was so tight I had to get napkins from my car. I cannot see how this place stays in business other than being a hobby for a local billionaire. But I will say it was tasty, just tiny tiny. And who can eat straight horseradish? This should be mixed with sour cream but is an extra expensive and labor so they don’t offer this to cut costs.

Great local French dip. Smaller establishment, but fast service.

Best French Dip north of LA (where it originated)

Very tasty sandwiches! Just wish the roll was more sturdy with a bit of outer crunch instead of soft and mushy, especially toward the end of the sandwich eating.
