4 /5 Gregg Rudes: "The best french dip in Sacramento - period"
Quite a bold statement on the menu for the Prime-rib french dip and I was intrigued. Admittedly I dont have any real experience with french dip, so I honestly wouldnt know any better, but when we asked our server what she recommended and the French dip was her response. There was no other choice. My two compatriots and I embarked on the challenge of the best French Dip in Sacramento.
All levity aside, this sandwich was great. While I dont have a basis for comparison, I really enjoyed the cuts of prime rib and the crunch onion rings sandwiched between two pieces of sourdough. The mayo and Swiss cheese really tie it all together and it joined the clean plate club for me I cant comment on if it is truly the best, but being my first it wins by default! The fries were also really good quality but the sandwich was the star of the show.
It was a pretty busy day but service was relatively quick and our server was really attentive. We were seated right next to the window and despite being really busy, it was too loud. Located within the Bank of America building the attached bathroom was clean and their is an Old Soul Cafe right across the building.
Will definitely visit again for drinks and an early dinner!
