I like adding black pepper to mine.
Setting the Stage
I was home for the holidays and found myself between ferries. My brother, Adam, had told me I needed to check out the French Dip at Island Cafe, so I did.
I showed up and didn't know what to think. I had expected it wouldn't be that nice of a place but it really was nice and clean and welcoming inside. There were nice waitresses and a few locals and it just seemed like a nice, casual place to be. And it was really clean.
I had the French dip and was pleasantly surprised and I guess happy to learn that their French dip was better than that of Gere-a-Deli, another A-Town staple, which I'd had days prior. Good job Island Cafe for a nice French dip sandwich!

French Dip
Ordering
Sandwich
Sandwich alone 4, nice beef flavor.
Pretty good size.
Meat
For really good beef flavor and a good amount.
Roast beef looked dry but is fairly, tender, good saltiness, juicy.
Beef not stacked as high as Gere a deli but better flavor overall.
Non-Meat Toppings
Didn't have any and that's okay. Keep it simple, stupid.
No skewers.
Bread
Chewy and soft, well toasted.
Didn't look that great but was fine.
Jus
Enough jus.
As it was hot and had some floating bits of taste.
Hot, floaters.
Garnished with dill pickle chips and red onion slices.
Better than Gere a deli's overall.
Beats the FD at Gere-A-Deli with its tasty beef flavor, good salad and nice jus.
Good diner in Anacortes.
