This is the number one sandwich in New York City right now. Salt Hank's in the West Village serves just one sandwich, so you know it's got to be special. But at $34, is it actually worth the hype? I got there 15 minutes before opening on a Friday, and this was the line just 10 minutes later. They start with a crusty sourdough baguette, slather it with horseradish-garlic aioli, then pile on juicy prime rib, caramelized onions, and melted provolone. Of course, I had to get the potato sticks and a fresh limeade, which was the perfect way to cut through all that richness. The verdict? This sandwich is a 9/10. It's easily big enough to split if you're getting sides, and while I wouldn't wait in a massive line for it, I'd absolutely recommend trying it at least once. read more

I ordered online and saved myself the time of standing in the line. Smart decision! I went to the park and had lunch once I picked it up. The sandwich was good, but I don't think it was $36 good. The bread was harder than I would have preferred - even considering dipping it into the au jus - and the onions didn't offer a ton of flavor. There weren't a lot of them on the sandwich. I also ordered a Diet Coke. It was a glass bottle, which was technically fine, but I had to ask them to open it (I didn't have a church key), it was the tiny short bottle, and it was $5. I was honestly most annoyed by the cost of the Diet Coke. Am I glad I tried it? Yes. I like to try most things at least once. Am I glad I didn't stand in the line? Also yes. Would I go again, probably not. It's more hype than being worth the price. read more

Salt Hank’s - Salt Hank's French dip. - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

When a business offers one item, and does it perfectly, every single time - you know it's going to be amazing. Salt Hank's is worth the hype. Plan for the things you know - there will be a line. You will have to wait. There are no customizations to request. The portions are very large, and the price is clearly stated. Ignore the reviews from people who did not do their research, and don't be like them. Now, on to the food; the bread is soft and tasty, perfect for mopping up the juices. There is so much meat that this is a really easy order to split. The flavor is fantastic, and it's just the right amount of cheesy-oniony-messy. Plan accordingly and grab extra napkins! Fries are good, but you're there for the sandwich. Soft bottled drinks are available. We arrived 20 minutes before closing time, and we barely waited at all (just 3 people in front of us). There were quite a few tables still lingering after they'd eaten, so it was hard to find a spot to sit. Tables weren't cleaned off, but I'm sure that's less of an issue earlier in the day. We just grabbed napkins and did it ourselves. I'd definitely return when I need that hit again; this is busy and popular for a very good reason! read more

Wow is this spot great - they have an amazing sandwich that you should get. At $34 it probably isn't even making that much money because they use really great baguettes, crazy perfect caramelized onions, luscious steak, good amount of cheese, and just everything is so good. Is it annoying and hard to get in and worth the price? I mean it's the west village so yes to all of those, though you shouldn't be going ;like every day unless you want to have a heart attack. The limeade is a great pairing to the fatty rich sandwich, I didn't get the fries because I didn't want to split my sandwich and it was by far enough food, but if you want to make your money go further you can split the sandwich and fries. I would 100% get the horseradish sauce and jus, both are worth it. Vibes are that of a sandwich shop, think West Village version of a deli. Service is good and fast - they make one main item, it shouldn't be that hard. 4 stars because it's pricey and annoying, though food is 5 stars. read more

Went here because we had heard the rave. The line was outside and lasted about 30 mins which wasn't terrible to us. When we got in they took our order and sat us quickly. The food came out soooooo hot but lived up to the hype. It was enough for 2 people to share. The idea and vibe inside is super cool because you can see the kitchen so they are making the food in front of you! read more

Salt Hank specializes in one thing, the roast beef sandwich and they do it pretty well! The meat is tender, the sandwich is comforting, and it is abundant (definitely can split with someone else). It comes with a jus that is borderline salty but is still great for dipping. The fries are not what I'd expect (very crunchy small ones) but recommend getting that with their tart limeade. I came 11:00 am on a Saturday and was the first in line (maybe bc weather wasn't the best). I'm not sure I'd wait 30 minutes for this but I def recommend trying it at least once. The restaurant started filling up quickly. Prepare to be ushered out (understandably so) so the next guest can enjoy. read more

Salt Hank’s - French Dip - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

Salt Hank's is a well-known sandwich shop in New York City, known for its popular French dip, located at 280 Bleecker Street in the West Village. The establishment has a straightforward menu, which includes dry-aged prime rib, caramelized onions, provolone, horseradish aioli, and au jus, and often experiences long lines. Having watched Salt Hank's numerous times on YouTube, I was eager to visit in person. Upon entering, I was warmly greeted and asked whether I preferred to dine in or take out. I opted for takeout. Due to the shop's limited space and its popularity, there was a line, and I understood there might be some wait. I placed my order and waited outside until they called my name. My food was prepared and ready in about ten minutes. When I received my order, I initially thought the bread might be hard, but I was pleased to find it toasted and had a similar look and taste to garlic bread. The dry-aged meat was flavorful and tender, and the provolone cheese added a nice touch of richness. The sandwich had a flavor reminiscent of onion soup, with melted provolone resembling that in French Onion Soup. The au jus was rich and flavorful, though I preferred the sandwich on its own, as it was satisfying without additional dipping. I did notice the horseradish flavor towards the end, which tasted like spicy mustard; I wish it had been more prominent throughout, as it would have added an extra layer of flavor. The sandwich is $37 without shoestring fries and a drink. Is it worth it? You decide. read more

As a sammich fiend, I am very glad I finally made my way to Salt Hank's! I was a bit busy, so I opted to go for take-out, but I do have to say I was very intrigued by the diner-esque feel inside - very welcoming and hospitable, so I'll definitely plan on sitting down next time. Now, down to the meat. The sandwich...is pricey. You can get a boatload of food for $34. But...this sandwich is legit. The meat is luscious, melt-in-your mouth goodness, the bread is fresh and hearty enough to stand up to the mound of meat, cheese, caramelized onions, and all the dipping au jus your heart desires. Speaking of the caramelized onions...good lord, I could eat bowl-full of that stuff alone. And the au jus is definitely on point - sooo much flavor, not super salty...just lovely. Needless to say, I definitely plan on returning for a sit-down meal and to try some of their sides and other offerings...but bottom line is, $34 is a lot for a French Dip...but if you want to treat yourself in a divinely-crafted sandwich with top-notch ingredients, this is a fiiiiine way to do so. Highly recommended. read more

Yummmmmm! I heard about this place from another foodie and I just had to try it! I came recently on a Saturday and there was little to no wait! You can check their lines on damnlines.com before heading over. Since there was only 5-7 min wait at the time I decided to go over and grab a sandwich! It's pretty packed inside at all times as people tend to order a full sandwich and eat in so the flavor retains and is the best experience you can get. Every seat is usually full but people tend to scarf it down by 8-10 min! I love French onion dip so this sandwich was a godsend. I think it's quite pricey for a sandwich at a whopping $38 so we shared it and reheated the second one the next day! The matchstick fries are actually so good and complemented the sandwich really well. I loved the prime rib inside and the French onion dip it came with which made the crispy baguette slightly wet, making the inside soft and flavorful but it maintained all the crisp on the outside. definitely one of my favorite baguettes that I ate in my life (for a sandwich) They said they only have this prime rib sandwich on the menu but sometimes will have the chicken parm so it's best to visit and check if you wanted to try something else! I definitely want to try it too! read more

Dined in May 27th. The staff are super nice and helpful here, and the food comes out quickly. The french dip was truly delicious and probably in my top three sandwiches in NY! Didn't get to try the fries as they were out by 2 PM on Wednesday, but splitting the sandwich was super filling. Bathroom was a bit of a mess with a bunch of pee on the seat, but I was just glad they had a bathroom to begin with that day as I needed one really badly. Ambience is casual - you can make reservations, but there was no wait when we walked in around 2 PM. read more

Salt Hank’s - French Dip - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

Took my sons on a mission to the legendary Salt Hank's in the West Village, where apparently one sandwich has achieved celebrity status. Now listen... when a French dip costs $34, you don't order it. You interview it first. We stood in line, sized up the competition, and finally got our hands on this beast. Piled high with prime beef, caramelized onions, melted provolone, and enough au jus to make grown men emotional. One bite in and the boys looked at me like I had just unlocked a secret level of fatherhood. Was it expensive? Absolutely. Did I briefly consider asking the sandwich about its retirement portfolio? Also yes. But sometimes memories with your sons are worth more than the price tag. Good food, great laughs, and quality time together in NYC. That's a win every time. Also the ambiance was prefect sandwich shop vibe Fatherhood lesson of the day: Teach your kids that life is about experiences. Also teach them that if a sandwich costs $34, they're helping Dad finish it. read more

One of the best sandwiches I've eaten all year!! They only really make one thing here and it's worth it. The space is small; we had a reservation at 2pm on a Sunday and sat at the counter. You order and then sit and they bring your food to you pretty quickly! The people here are so nice. This sandwich was incredible. The bread stayed together perfectly and the au ju was very hot and perfect for dipping. We got a lot of the toppings and ended up just eating them separately because the sandwich was so foo by itself! Loved how fresh the slaw is! Definitely worth coming here. read more

Came before it opened and there was already a line. The sandwich was good but I didn't feel like it justified the price. Without the dip I would have said it was dry but the dip really brings it all together. I found this fry style difficult to eat and didn't care much for it. I would say if you want to try it for the one time, just get the sandwich for takeout. read more

A solid option for a French dip sandwich in the west village! I do think the move is to go a little before the spot opens at 11:30. I was able to wait for 30 minutes to go in and get my sandwich. I will say the horseradish was a bit aggressive for me but the bread was such a good crunch and still soft and the horseshoe fries were like thin potato chips. The staff paced out people to come in and out of the restaurant so that there wasn't overcrowding and I appreciated it. The spot itself is pretty small too but since it's only one thing on the menu people order quickly and move on. read more

**Ordered for pickup on Grbhub to avoid the line! The French dip was delicious, albeit slightly overhyped. I would not get the fries again, to me these are more like crisps/skinny potato chips. Definitely a sandwich shop you should try at least once, but I probably won't be back. read more

Finally got to try this viral spot. Thank goodness they just opened their pre-order on Seamless, because the line looped around the block on Saturday morning. It was nuts. Cold, grey morning, two hour wait? No thank you. The sandwich price went up from $27 to $34, which is insane. Paying restaurant prices for take out essentially. Bunch of people did what we did--pre-ordered and ate standing up, with their food spread out on the car hood. Not doing Justice to this not cheap meal. The shaved meat was tasty and delicate. I wish there were more caramelized onions (which added that superb sweetness that was so necessary), but my sandwich barely had any. Appreciated the horseradish mayo on the bread--it added a much needed kick to the fattiness of the sandwich. This was so filling, you'll be done with food for the rest of the day. The bread gets soggy rather quickly, so I recommend biting into your sandwich as soon as you receive your take out bag from the staff. I liked the crunch and the heartiness of the bread. Au jus was super salty and didn't add much flavor in my opinion. I enjoyed the sandwich without it, surprisingly. $6 shoestring fries reminded me of childhood--perfectly crunchy. Like chips! This is my kind of indulgence--soooo salty that you don't need condiments--the crispy, salty, oiliness is complete without any additions. Good portion to fill you up. Or share. PSA: the food is Ssoooo salty, you'll be parched for the rest of the day. Salty Hank's indeed. I got an insane headache from all the sodium. Overall, would I return? If I don't have to wait in line, maybe. The prices are up there, for that amount you can eat a superb French dip roast beef sandwich at a few top notch restaurants, where you'll also get to enjoy the ambiance and actually appreciate the opportunity to relax while consuming your food, not feel like a homeless person stuffing your sandwich, as shoestring fries scatters all over yourself, standing up in the cold, against the hood of your car. read more

I happened to walk by Salt & Hanks on a Wednesday right when they opened. There was no wait, and I was able to get in without standing in a long line. The place is small but well-decorated. They've clearly optimized every inch for seating. I ordered the French dip, their signature dish. Unfortunately, the shoestring fries were unavailable the day I went, but the sandwich was amazing on its own. The thing is massive. I could only finish half and had to pack up the rest. If I'd gone with someone else, splitting it would have been perfect. I've had French dips from other notable spots in the city, and it's clear that Salt & Hanks is doing a few things differently. The caramelized onions and the garlic baguette from Frenchette really set it apart. I've seen many people complain about the price, but it's in the same ballpark as its competitors in NYC. Overall, I really loved it and want to go back again. Try to go on a weekday if possible to avoid the line. read more

I don't usually stand in lines - but I had to for this sandwich. I went late afternoon (after the lunch rush) on a Sunday and probably waited over half an hour. Bottom line: The French Dip is delicious- mind-bendingly so. All the components are perfection - a crispy, crackly baguette, divinely cooked prime rib, carmelized onions, a horeseradish-tinged aioli. And every bite made more succulent by dipping it into the jus. I mean it's just so good - and then after the first bite, you add the shoestring fries to the sandwich for crunch and it's a whole other level. But here's the thing - it's not cheap and you've just spent a lot of time waiting in a line. Would I be more likely to go again if it were cheaper or if there was no line? Probably. But the $$$ + time just kind of deflates the joy. But it does not take away from the fact that this is a SUPERB sandwich - easily the best french dip I've ever had. read more

Salt Hank’s - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

The French Dip ($34) is an extraordinary, superlative sandwich. It's worth trying once. It's a no-compromise, no-frill (really) manifestation of an indulgent dish. Each component is perfect. The crusty baguette, the tender flavorful prime rib, the deeply caramelized heap of onions, the tangy horseradish aioli, and the piping hot savory jus... all perfect. My initial reaction was balking at paying $34 ($40 all in) for counter service at a one-trick pony shop, but then I paid $29 for a French Dip at a place known for French Dips, and it was a sorry comparison. Like a Prius compared to a Bentley. That's what convinced me to 5-star such Salt Hank's exorbitant sandwich. I waited for opening with like-minded people for about 15 minutes on a Wednesday, but there was no wait for the rest of time I was eating. The counter ordering system is pleasant. I appreciated their takeout packaging station because I definitely brought home half for my wife to enjoy. She endorses the sandwich too -- even in its leftover state. read more

Salt Hank’s - French Dip - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

Best French Dip ever (Also the most expensive)!. Two French Dips and shared fries ran about $80. That's honestly more than I expected for two sandwiches. For that price (and 45 minutes waiting on line), the expectations were through the roof. The melty beef on a crusty baguette was perfect. You basically didn't need to chew the beef. Rare and tender, just how I want my beef. The au jus was oniony and just salty enough but not overly so. I could drink this au jus. The crusty baguette stood firm even when dipped, just the perfect companion. I was going to skip the fries initially but glad I didn't. These fries were more like matchbook potato sticks. You use your fingers to crane up a bunch and unload them in your mouth. Seating wise, there is eating space for about 22-30 people inside. I sat at the counter and got a great view of Bleeker street while I ate my sandwich. There is just one line to order regardless of whether you eat in or take out, and it can be a monster of a line right now. I started waiting 45 mins before opening and was about the 20th person, and had to wait another 30 minutes to get in after they opened. Hopefully it will simmer down in a bit as this was a long wait. Service was friendly and prompt. read more

I was blown away. We showed up at opening on Friday and did not get in the first seating, so had to wait around half an hour, but oh boy would I wait again. The inside is small and they really are efficient in getting the sandwiches out, but there's not much space which is the reason there is always a line. Got the french dip with the fries and pro-tip - add the peppers! Each bite absolutely melted in my mouth, and my favorite bites was the sandwich dipped in the au jus and topped with the thin crispy "fries" and peppers. The meat is so tender you don't even have to chew and the bread was perfectly crisp and chewy. How was this meal so delicious and flavorful without feeling heavy at all? Extremely worth it - a must try! read more

I was so excited to try this French dip spot and it lived up to the hype! I went on a Friday at 12:30pm and there was a long line but it moved more quickly than I thought. The wait was only 30min to be seated. As you're in line, a worker will handout tickets depending on if you want to eat in or do take out. Takeout is much faster since they let you go to the front. After ordering at the counter, you seat yourself. The water is self serve. The sandwiches come out quickly and it was nice and hot! The French dip comes on a beautiful crusty baguette, tons of tender prime rib and flavorful caramelized onions. The au jus was very savory and meaty, perfect to dip the sandwich into. It was pretty big so I could only finish 2/3s of it. They have a takeout station on the back counter so you can take your leftovers home which is nice. Overall, it was great sandwich and worth the wait. read more

Salt Hank’s - French Dip and Fries - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

Salt Hank's 280 Bleecker St. New York, NY 10014 French Dip Combo: French Dip Shoestring Fries Can of Brooklyn Peach Tea Located in the west village directly off the five corner intersection is a restaurant that sells primarily french dip sandwiches. These specialty sandwiches are so popular that there will always be a wait to place an order. Here is the meal I explored from this limited menu. French Dip Combo: This combo includes the french dip, shoestring fries, and can of Brooklyn tea. On a constructive note, I wasn't too fond of the appearance, especially with the shoestring fries just sloppily thrown onto the plate. As soon as I took my first bite, the appearance didn't matter because this signature sandwich was phenomenal. The thinly sliced prime rib was packed tight and was topped with melted provolone cheese on a toasted sourdough baguette smothered in garlic aioli. And no french dip is ever complete without a cup of au jus. The shoestring fries were very skinny and crispy. They had a texture identical to potato chips. Have a spoonful or handful; the choice is yours. All of this goodness was washed down with a refreshing ice cold can of Brooklyn Peach Tea. If you wish to take home any memorabilia, feel free to purchase souvenirs from the gift shop, in particular a Salt Hank's cookbook featuring the recipe for the signature sandwich. The restaurant is only open four days per week, so please plan accordingly. Although I may have disliked the presentation, I truly loved this specialty signature sandwich. #westvillage #salthanks #bleeckerstreet #frenchdip #frenchdipsandwich #frenchdipcombo #shoestringfries #brooklynpeach #peachtea read more

Salt Hank's is a solid, TikTok-famous French dip spot that delivers a good sandwich, but the experience is heavily dependent on timing. We showed up 30min early and were in the first group to go in. The French dip itself is genuinely tasty well made, flavorful, and satisfying in that classic, messy way you want from the style. The limeade is also surprisingly good and pairs well with the richness of the sandwich. That said, I'm not sure it fully justifies the close to 1 hour wait which I could see easily going over two hours. It feels more like an excellent one time experience than a repeatable go to unless the line is minimal. Without the hype and queue, it would land much stronger as a casual staple. Overall: good food, fun experience, but the wait definitely affects the value. read more

When I visited on a weekend morning about 15 minutes before opening time (11:30am), there was already a line down the block. The wait was about 40ish minutes (for dine in). The hostess was on top of remembering who was in line for takeout and who wanted to dine in. There was no separate line, you just had to wait for the hostess to get to you. I was going to dine in and was given a ticket to confirm that I had been waiting in line. There was table seating for larger groups and counter style seating by the front and rear of the place. The french dip sandwich is definitely on the pricier side (price has gone up a bit since they first opened). I got the french dip by itself to see what the hype was about as it had been all over my feed. The baguette was crispy and lathered in a rich garlic chive butter while the roast beef was very smoky in flavor and paired well with the sweetness of the caramelized onions. The provolone cheese also was a nice addition to the sandwich. There was also horseradish aioli (according to the menu) but I didn't taste it too much as the roast beef was the main star. I think adding a vegetable to cut through the heaviness of the sandwich would be nice or maybe offer it as a side. For the price, it is quite a large sandwich and definitely shareable. They had a pack to go station by the kitchen in case you decided to take your food to go. Eating this got quite messy so luckily there was a bathroom in the back to wash my hands afterwards! read more

As a big fan of French Dip sandwiches had to give Salt Hank's a try after hearing all about of it. Line was relatively long before they opened on a busy Sunday morning but the staff manages the flow well. Had the French Dip combo with the Matchstick Fries and a Brooklyn Best Iced Tea. The sandwich was terrific - the meat was tender and especially juicy when dipped in the au jus. Perhaps a tad on the salty side. Overall though, perhaps not the very best French Dip that I've ever had but definitely amongst the best. Helps to justify the price. read more

I'll say this with my whole chest: this was the BEST thing I ate in all of New York (sorry not sorry)! We waited in line for 2 hours and got there about 20 minutes before they opened. But it was SO worth it. There's a Blank Street coffee down the way so you can hit that and enjoy a warm coffee while you wait. They give you a colored ticket based on if you're going take out or dining in. We chose to dine in but saw lots of people take it to go and eat outside which is always an option. Once we got inside, we ordered our food and it came out quick. The au jus was STEAMING, so fresh and flavorful. The bread was crunchy but the au jus helped soften it a bit. The meat was tender and the caramelized onions were to die for. The host did an awesome job of clearing tables and keeping a steady flow of people in and out. Seating was pretty solid as well. Simply put: if I knew I could get a sandwich (because they do sell out fairly fast), I would absolutely wait 2 hours for this sando again! read more

Is it amazing? Yes. The French Dip sandwich truly is delicious. The bread is perfect mix of firm and soft and great for dipping. The meat is tender, flavorful, and moist. The onions? So good. And it's big enough for two people to share. Get the extra au jus just in case. But is it worth $32? That's something only you to decide. But you should decide before waiting 50 minutes in line like we did. Nevertheless, we enjoyed it with a limeade too. The shoestring fries are, if anything, even thinner than a shoe string. I tend to like mine with a little more to it, but still, it was great to have them peppered around the sandwich itself. And the au jus, as I mentioned, is a great mix of flavors. As a long time French Dip fan, I was in heaven. You should be too. So long as price really doesn't matter. read more

Ordered for pick up during the 30 minute window open on GrubHub and went in the store to pick it up. They prepared it and brought it out to me once it was complete. When I went, there weren't many people so we were able to eat in store. It was good, but I don't think it's worth the price tag. Maybe it was because it was originally ordered us takeout, it was a little bit soggy that I would've liked even before dipping. The crispy fries were not my style - more of a chip than a fry; I would definitely bypass ordering it. I'm more likely to not order again vs going out on my way to order. read more

Food: 5/5 Service: 4.3/5 Ambiance: 4.3/5 Value: 4/5 I greatly enjoyed the French Dip sandwich ($34 as of Dec. 17, 2025) at Salt Hank's. It takes a lot of time and prep to make. The prime rib is so soft and delicious, the bread is crisp and chewy, the seven-hour caramelized onions provide sweetness and tanginess, the consomme is savory without being too salty, and the aioli puts it over the top. It may be the best sandwich I've had in the city. There was a little bit of confusion, though. Some of us were welcomed in to have a seat anywhere, but it wasn't made clear to us that we need to order at the register first before taking a seat. It was only when I saw them calling out names that I realized that there would be no one to take my order while I was sat; that I would need to get up and do that myself. The servers and expediter were friendly and helpful. It is a very expensive sandwich, and it's not so big that you'll have a lot left over. But it's very tasty and is now on my list of places that I may have to visit at least anually. read more

Probably the best French Dip I ever had. The wait can be long but is so worth it, you'll realized when you try the first bite. The sourdough baguette bread is perfection, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside that miraculously holds structure while the juices of the tender meat dripped out. The caramelize onions and provolone compliments the sandwich incredibly. The au jus is so rich, you should try it by itself. Also the fries are unique and very crispy, I personally dipped the sandwich into the jus and then smush it into the fries for a perfect bite. My mouth is watering right now just thinking about it haha... It's a bit on the pricier side for a sandwich but portions are generous, I shared mine with my mom and it was perfect. Fills you up. The staff were friendly. They even offer NALA, my service dog, some small meat bites. Coming back for sure!! read more

See all
