“Overcooked beef, sweet (why?), soggy (even before the dip) except for the outer part of the bread which is tough, tastes like a mouthful of wet onions.”

“I thought it was pretty gross. Meat was mushy, onions too sweet, couldn’t taste the horseradish and bread was soggy.”
H3
“I enjoyed the dip very much. The fries aren’t worth it, regular fries would be much better. Would go again but for the price not frequently, and I wouldn’t want to wait more than 15min.”

“I don’t think a French Dip should be on a super crunchy baguette. A proper French Dip’s bread compliments the meat’s tenderness. Fighting a hard crunch masks the tenderness of the meat.”

“Salt Hank’s is technically a French Dip but it’s made with prime rib and is one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. It’s 34 dollars but worth every penny because it’s made with top quality ingredients.”

“I don’t think it was awful but I don’t really understand the decision to go with the Frechette baguette. The hard, crusty bread overshadows the tender meat.”

“The sandwich was good and very filling”

“The price is *absolutely* too high, but credit where due—that was a GODDAMN good sandwich, and sizable.”

“It was a very good sandwich.”

“The Frenchette bread, Pat Lafrieda prime rib, and caramelized onions are all insanely high quality, but the thing that sets it’s apart is the structural integrity. You can dip it over and over and not lose anything from inside the sandwich. It’s truly remarkable.”

“It tasted good, but I think it's a bit overhyped. $54.88 for one combo with a tip and it wasn't as big as people made it out to be.”
H3
“The sandwich was bomb. The best french dip I’ve had in NYC by far. Not overly sweet at all, anyone who likes caramelized onions should be fine with it.”
H3
“The sandwich by itself will be more than enough.”
H3
“Horseradish was overpowering, couldn't even taste the onions, it's much smaller then the portion they give influencers, and worse of all the aju was anemic. I will say then meat it self was pretty good but the bread wasn't as good as it needed to be.”
H3
“I think it's a try hard. Too much going on. Fancy mayo, fancy cheese, fancy au jus, onions. All I taste is wet onions. Good french dip doesn't need all that. Also, frankly, over priced.”

“The bread was nice and crunchy even after dipping it. Highly recommend.”

“French Dip doesn’t get better than this.. everything you want in a French Dip, it’s there. Meat is tender, bread is awesome.”

“Everything is very fresh, salty tho (obviously). Kind of wound up being a small portion when divided in half. Tasty, but i prefer Danny & coops.”
H2
“im very annoyed to say its one of the best sandwiches ive ever had in my life. i dont really know if its "worth" $27 for a roast beef sandwich, but it filled me up for the rest of the day and was incredible.”

H2
“Salt Hanks is a dude with an iPhone 16 Pro who makes an inherently tasty sandwich at a 100% markup.”
H2
“It’s the best French dip in the city”
H2
“Good - not even inflation and nyc-food-tax can excuse a $35 French dip though.”
H2
“Great piece of meat, but fuckin rude”
H2
“I also loved it. I usually don’t love the broth that comes with french dips but this one I even drank from the bowl.”
H2
“EXACTLY! It was a fine sandwich. Was it worth 34 dollars? Fuck no.”
H2
“His French Dip is one of the best I have ever had. Trust me, I didn't want to like it and I don't: I love it.”
H2
“The fries are whack and they dump them all over your sandwich. Makes a mess”
H2
“Also because I think tourists love the west village salt hanks is like 30$ a sandwich but it’s a good portion and you could share it but it’s a good sandwich.”
H2
“I didn’t like it either and my standards are super low. Mine was oily, so gross”
H2
“I thought it was an okay sandwich, but the manufactured scarcity and rigid customization rules annoy the shit out of me.”
H2
“Second this. Better than the french dip at 4 Charles. Don't @ me”
H2
“It's the far superior sandwich, is cheaper, and while the lines definitely get long, I've never waited there nearly as long as I did at Salt Hank's.”
H2
“even I have to begrudgingly admit, it's a awesome sandwich.”
H2

“the dip was fantastic”
H2
“French dip at salt hanks”
H2
“The fries are interesting.”
H2
“Don’t doubt it’s good — it’s just not $28 good, and certainly not worth a 30 to 120 minute wait.”
H2
“It sadly is so legit. Only sad because it’s so darn expensive! Perfect French dip, just simple perfection”
