The French dip sirloin was juicy the bread was soft and fresh and the meat was lean. The sandwich was lacking a fair amount of meat and seemed to be a third of it just bread. French fries were great crispy and loved the seasoning. It was delicious however seems like the portion size was off in comparison to the bun.

It was surprising how good the Adamson's French Dip sandwich was. I was expecting the usual bland taste of Subway. I Reccomend it if you want a quick yummy bite.

Smoke in heaven, that's a good sandwich! I was thoroughly surprised and delighted to have such a good French Dip from this tiny little shop. It was tender and juicy. Just enough smoke flavor to tingle your senses but not have it overpowering. It is near the top of FD sammys I've ever had! I added the cheese to it which had me worried - white American cheese...??! I'm a Swiss and/or provolone kinda guy. But it was actually really good. Again pleasantly surprised. The fries were also good with a great seasoning, but quite a small proportion. Although upon leaving, I was glad I wasn't packed with all the fried fryness. The au jus was OK. It was nice to have it, but honestly didn't add much, was kinda plain. I gotta say, it was quite an exquisite sandwhich. However since the base model comes in at 17 dollars, I'm wondering how often I'll be back. Feeding one person for 27 bucks seems on par with a sit-down service, not a counter-serve "fast food" style joint with food wrapped in paper. I'd say it's some great food! But, for me, it'll be a craving meal, not a regular stop for the price point.

Really good French dip and flavorful au jus- perfect for cold winter days.Had a great side of jalapeno fries. Highly recommend their Adamson's root beer if you're a root beer fan

Edit 9/28/2023: They brought back the prime rib! Glad to see it back, and even though it's $2 more than the top sirloin, I think it's really worth it. The french dip really is so much better in my opinion when you have the fattiness of the prime rib topped with a kick of horseradish. I'll be coming back again soon for more! Really loved this place for the past 5 years for their prime rib french dip and draft root beer, but unfortunately they had to discontinue the prime rib french dip due to inflated prime rib prices. The top sirloin is still okay, but it's really not the same quality. I would actually pay an even higher price than before for prime rib if they still offered it, but the top sirloin isn't worth it for me at the current prices. Until the prime rib returns, I will likely come much less frequently. Hope to be back soon when that happens!

Would I come back? Yes - but to try something else. The French dip was ~fine~. Good quality, tender meat, but very bland. They have a sign on the wall saying it is high quality corn-fed beef in case that matters to you. The onion rings were good. My friend got the fries and they were good. The bread pudding was good - not THAT flavorful (despite their Jack Daniel’s Bourbon sauce) and more on the gooey side of bread pudding. The homemade root beer was good. All in all, a good place to eat but not very exciting. We saw the employees trim the meat and throw away (!!) the outside layer with all the spices. Isn’t that the best part? Certainly would have made the sandwich less bland. I’d like to try the beef brisket or tri-tip when I come back. I don’t think I’d recommend the French dip just because it was underwhelming. If you do get the French dip, maybe spend the extra 50 cents to add cheese, jalapeños or onion.

Let me start by saying the sandwiches here are phenomenal. The smoked meat is high quality and very flavorful. The jus and fries are also pretty good too. Giving 3 stars for 2 reasons: They have very odd, limited hours (only open from 10:30 - 2pm??). Also, the portions are much too small for the price range. 20+ bucks for a small sandwich and a small portion of standard fries. Overpriced.

Good ingredients. Polite staff. Comfortable dining area. Very delicious bread quality. The in house root beer looks great. Tasty French dip sauce, sandwich and potato salad. A little pricy. Food portion could be bigger.

The entire menu is tasty. I personally prefer The Melt, which oozes comfort in the most satisfying way possible. The draft root beer in the frosted mug is a callback to the fondest of memories of times spent with friends and family. A standout for me is also the horseradish sauce—something not to be missed. But also judiciously used unless you need a sinus cleansing.

Came here for the first and last time today. For $20 I found the amount of meat on my sandwich to be seriously lacking. The little bit of meat that I did get was tasty. The dip was ok. I found the bread to be rather doughy tasting and not complimentary to the meat.

WOW!! AWESOME French Dip selections and phenomenal root beer on tap made in house!! YUM!!! They are only open for lunch 10:30 - 2pm Monday- Saturday.

Excellent quality, from the right smoke, quality cuts (Prime Rib), fresh bread cooked in house, onion rings, root beer... Excellent! Watch the hours as they close a little earlier, probably as they get up early to smoke the meats.

Got the prime rib French dip, fries and a root beer. Really, really good French dip & root beer. The meat was on the slightly fattier side, but I still really enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend!

Good food but customer service needs help and they need to lower their prices. The milkshakes have almost no flavor and are 5$ for a small size. Not to mention the guy making it was so busy on the phone it took them 15 minutes just to make the milkshake after our order was ready...

Prime Rib French Dip sandwich. Roasted thin and juicy slices of prime rib on buttery bread. It comes with a savory dip, but, it's not needed! Well worth every penny of the close to 15 dollar price per sandwich. Order a in house root beer to wash it down. Order online for quick and fast service. Hand sanitizers available. Plenty of parking.

I ordered take out ahead of time online and it was ready once I arrived! Service was super fast and the French dip was delicious. Ordered the top sirloin and the melt sandwich- both were super yummy! I think it is slightly pricey since the sandwiches are a tad small but is worth a try!

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.

Had a chance to stop by since it’s been on my list of places to try and was in the area! Had to go with the French dip since that’s their main item on the menu. Ordered a combo and got the onion rings that were perfectly fried. While ordering they ask if you’d like their horseradish on the side if you want an extra kick, and if you want ranch or bbq sauce (which are an additional fee and not made in house). The horseradish was a lovely pairing to the dip and the au jus was pleasant and not too salty. Not sure the bread I got was the same as I’ve seen in the other photos from other reviewers but would definitely come back to try their other items!

I went back to Adamsons to grab a french dip sandwich this past week. A little light on the meat compared to pre pandemic. Take was ok

Great French dip sandwich and root beer. Great bread, plenty of tender meat. $20 for a sandwich and soda. Would’ve been 5 star but service wasn’t polite; seemed annoyed when I paid in cash and they had to count change back, didn’t say thanks when I left a tip nor when I picked up the food. Very spicy horseradish…watch out!…but very good.

We got two French dips on 06-18-23 and it didn't work out. It was busy, a bit unkept (dirty), a high price point and the sandwich was not good. The bread seemed off the shelf and meat was a bit tasteless and well done dry. But most of all it is small. I am talking like 7" x 4". The clerk messed up our order (knowing that most food service in CA messes up orders). It just was not good enough for the price. We will not be going back. Everything seemed watered down.

Amazing sandwiches- good quality meats and homemade bread. We have done dine in and takeout. It’s nice that they have a drive up takeout window. You can see them slicing the meat and baking the bread.

Excellent Chicken Melt sandwich. It was warm with right amount of onions, juicy and with a perfect BBQ Sauce. Giving one star less as they are higher cost wise.

Pricey but so good. Definitely go with the prime rib if it's available. Try the onion rings too. They're perfectly tender and not stringy.

Really fast service. Great woodburning oven flavor. Meat was great quality. Only complaint, want more. Sandwich was small.

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) :)

We've been here 2 weeks in a row. Best French dip in the world!!! The meat is very moist, flavorful yet not overly salty. Their au jus is light while tasting so complex and pleasant in your mouth. The bread is a winner - soft, not too thick, spongy enough to soak up the sauce without falling apart. While you're at it, grab a root beer. Bon appetit!

Adamson's makes a very tasty French Dip, and I love French Dips, but they are not cheap. The restaurant itself is in a strip mall with some inside and outside seating. It is usually busy, so order ahead if you can. It started as a family operation and the attention to detail in the food and service is positive. My only concern is the value. The sandwich is good but I would not call it a large portion. The side of fries was similarly small. I ordered their house root beer which I love, but it's pricy too. I paid north of $25 for lunch and I enjoyed the meal, but at that price I cannot visit as often as I might like.

My husband had the Prime Rib French Dip. He said the meat was tasteless. My b’bcue chicken sandwich was a poor excuse for what it should have been. Instead of the shaved barbecued chicken in sauce which I expected, it was a what appeared to be a boiled or microwaved filet sliced crosswise with some sauce brushed on top. Pricy for poor quality and not so much as a French fry. We won’t be returning.
