Mike WinstonAugust 4, 2014This is an excellent sandwich lunch spot in Sunnyvale. The namesake Prime Rib French Dip is delicious, but be sure add cheese, onions, and horseradish. Read all about it on WinstonWanders below!! Read more

Amazing prime rib French dip. Get it with mushrooms and cheese, complementary horse radish. Their own craft root beer too, if that "floats"your boat :3 Prices not cheap though...Upvote4Downvote
George HammaMay 7, 2015Good food, but their high-quality manual process takes a little while for your order to get out. Buying a drink and getting comfortable makes for the best experience...Upvote2Downvote
Annie WangNovember 26, 2014We ordered both the prime rib and the sirloin steak think the prime would absolutely beat the sirloin. They tasted differently but both are very very good.UpvoteDownvote
I prefer the Top Sirloin to the Prime Rib. Blasphemy? Maybe, but it also saves you $1 to spend on a pickle. As a Baltimore native, I ALWAYS add horseradish. It's damn strong though, as it should be.Upvote1Downvote
jansen cDecember 11, 2016Oh yes... amazing French dip and sandwiches! Come early to beat the crowd!!

The prime rib french dip is probably the best thing, but cant go wrong with BBQ Tri-tip either. Their self branded root beer isn't bad but id go for the Sprecher Root Beer (hint: its awesome)UpvoteDownvote
Rachel HaydenMay 20, 2013Service did not take long at all and the Prime Rib Melt adding mushrooms was so good! Don't forget the pickle, very pleased with my lunch today!UpvoteDownvote

Prime rib French dip; root beer floats, French fries, tri tip sandwichesUpvote1Downvote
Alexei MasterovApril 25, 2016Basically it is a Philly cheese steak, but you have to pay extra for cheese or anything else. Not sure what people rave about. May be it is just not my thing. There is nothing French about this placeUpvoteDownvote
Try your French dip with grilled onions and an ice cold Stella (if you're of age). Amazing!Upvote1Downvote
Al B.June 7, 2013Get here early to grab a spot! Gets really crowded. And grab a rootbeer!UpvoteDownvote

"Big and juicy King of Philly sandwich. The peppers are balanced between hot and sweet so take big bites of the meat and provolone. It hit the spot."
