FAQS

What’s the difference between French dip and Philly cheesesteak?

French Dip sandwiches come with au jus, a rich beef broth for dipping. A Philly Cheesesteak features thinly sliced beef, topped with melted cheese like Cheez Whiz or provolone, bell peppers, and mushrooms, served on a long roll.

Whether you opt for crispy fries, roasted vegetables, or a light, refreshing salad, the right side dishes will perfectly complement the sandwich’s rich, savory flavors.
