Big Jim's Roast Beef
Get the roast beef sandwich. The meat is tender, the roll is soft, and the broth for dipping is exactly what you want at a place that's been doing this for forty years. Order at the counter, take it outside on Cass Street, and eat standing up like the regulars do.
Classic roast beef sandwich. Dip it in the broth. The French dip is why people come back.
