This is not a sit-down restaurant, but the decor is retro-awesome. Every sandwich I've had of theirs is better than the last. My favorites so far (which is every one I have tried) are Chili Crisp Turkey, Das Han's (Ham)Met, Falafeeling This, Blooming Onion Roast Beef and the special (which rotates regularly) - this one is the Brazilian Fried Chicken. The sandwiches are inspired and are magic in a bag. They have a frequent customer punch card, so if you plan to return, keep it handy. Service is outstanding. Remember to leave a tip. read more

Triple B. I had heard, with my ears and through the grapiest of vines, many good things about Benny and his Brown Bag. Compliments. Praises. Moans. You name it, all positive. And so when I hear so many hearings of such detail, and read so many readings with such info... it becomes a Yelp Elite's journey... no, destiny... no, civil duty to check in on said rumors. For often, rumors are spread by fools and accepted by idiots. But on a rarity? On a rarity... facts can be misleading while rumors, true or false, are often revealing. I shall carry on, unencumbered and cucumbered. I don't know much about Benny. I saw and felt the brown bag, but didn't get too familiar with it either. And why's that? That's because upon entrance to my vehicle (once a lease now owned, whatever) I smelt what was inside the bag. I kindly asked the bag to cover up the smell, of which it couldn't do. Therefore, I viciously removed the brown bag in one swift swipe. Maybe a rip. Potentially a tear... in order to lay eyes on the prize inside. Situated within a blue checkered wrapping, my nails continued to claw until my bleeding eyes and howler of a nose got what they requested. Sight on the sitch. The Foxchocker, chicken sandwich. I'm a substance guy. I need that chicken on my sandwiches. Famous fried chicken? Don't mind if I dadadadadoooooo. Bacon. Meunster mash cheese, jalapeños, a saucity sauce on a long ciabatta? Listen. I'm an easy guy. Super loose. I don't need much convincing. You say those words to me and my mouth begins to water immediately. You can take me home with that kinda talk. Don't test me. I'm street smart, not book smart... let me cook. So again, just read those ingredients... i knew that if that chicken was marinated right and if that sauce was saucing that we could be in for a mouth concert. A concert of the mouth. The tongue in cheek and teeth in esophagus. The good stuff. And let me tell you. This was GOOD STUFF. Great stuff. Phenom stuff. The chicken was seasoned and marinated to perfection. It was juicy. It was substantial. The sauce was diabolical by nature but caring in the way it caressed my taste buds. The long ciabatta was soft and played wonderfully in sync with the crisp of the crispiest of bacons. The jalapeño provided a necessary kick that was amplified by the monster meunster cheese. Each bite was a new magical moment. I was eating and driving. No mitts on the circular controlling device, Jesus took the wheel and safely got me home. Mamma Mia was this thing good. Batter my shorts and call me tortellini, I was impressed! Nearly put in shock while off-the-clock (Happy MLK Day.) The outside appearance of the de facto deli puts ya to sleep. The courteous and kind staff wakes you up. And this Fox Catcher Sandy makes you feel like you're at a rave. Head banging and tongue tangling, what a time to be alive. Now were the rumors just that, rumors? I say not. I say the Hot Goss out of LB's mouth was that you GOTTTA go here. That delightful of a dive. I'd make the detour once over. I'd travel 30 mins for the Fox Choker. I'm sick of hunting down and choking foxes myself, messy business. I'll leave it to the pros. Brown Bag, maybe one day you'll make it home raveled in your original presence rather than devoured immediately. LB, skillfully peeking in Peekskill - I bid Benny ado (for now.) read more

Delicious sandwiches at a counter service spot in Peekskill. Sandwiches are creative takes of classic deli sandwiches. The bread was super fresh and the fillings were of good quality. We had the chili crisp turkey which may have been the best turkey sandwich I've had in a while. Very cute spot as well, they sell lots of snacks and similar foods out front, but there isn't a ton of seating. Highly recommend Benny's Brown Bag, wish we had something like this in the city. read more

Benny's Brown Bag - Chili crisp turkey sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Peekskill, New York

Benny's Brown Bag is a treasure for Westchester cuisine. Great Vibes, People and Food. Another nice feeling was that the phones felt like they came second to the people inside the store. As for the food today Chimi Chimi Ya Roast Beef was incredible and always a must order! I wish I could say more but I ate it too fast to think about the flavor experience. Falafeeling This. Flavors are all there and delicious, textures weren't for me. Falafel was mushy (I'd prefer crunchy), bread felt soggy, lastly I felt overwhelmed by sauced lettuce (though I do love sauce) Chicken Curry Toyotathon. My first bites were wow and mmmm. Every element of This Sandwhich (from crunch to size to flavor to ingredient ratio) were in harmony. This is another must order everytime Even with 2 out of 3 of the sandwhcihes hitting for me. The hits were big enough to make up for the miss. If you live within striking distance, I can't recommend Benny's Brown Bag enough. read more

Not typical sandwich place with an awesome theme to it, got love the 90s theme, brings me back to my childhood really. Got das has hammer sandwich and got say it was most unique sandwich ever had, I mean the usual ham and cheese with a twist, curry cream cheese to which I was sort of mixed on, it the flavor did downplay the other fillings, chips in sandwiches never hurt for a extra crunch and plenty of lettuce and tomatoes to refresh. Plus sandwich is pretty filling and easily makes two meals. The guy at counter was super cool and since I was outside town he did wonder where I was traveling from, let's say pretty far, but definitely worth the visit to try if you want different kind of deli sandwich read more

I am not much of a sandwich person, but when I was reading about Benny's Brown Bag on a Westchester foodie forum recently, where one fellow waxed poetically about their Turkey and cheese, I paused. My husband's favorite sandwich is turkey and cheese. Benny's makes an amazingly delicious 'out of this world' one named 'Chili Crisp Turkey'. We happened to be up in the Peekskill area near Bear Mountain and decided to stop by to pick up lunch. Well, the smile on my husband's face said it all! After a bite he exclaimed - "Sweetie, Wow! This is the best turkey sandwich I have ever tasted" !! Yep, it's that good. :p **Kudos to owners Vince and Bettina plus their wonderful friendly staff** **Take-Out Only** * Vegetarian sandwiches available * Have a great Labor Day holiday weekend and if you happen to drive up the Hudson Valley, please grab a sammie at Benny's! You can thank me later :) read more

Took the ride from the other side up to see what this spot was all about. I wish I lived closer.... The vibe is super chill. The entire operation appears to be run with a real love for what they do. They had some unique snacks and drinks available to buy in addition to what they make onsite. We got 2 sandwiches and a side of Mac Salad. Bear Mountain Hot Roast Beef Sandwich for $15.00 and the Das Hans (Ham)mer Sandiwch for $14.50. Both were very good. The Bear Mountain had a really nice horseradish kick. And the Hammer was a really yummy ham sandwich. Both were Wedge/Hero sized and definitely could feed 2 especially along with the side of Mac Salad. The ONLY thing I don't love is there's no place to sit and eat. So we couldn't take advantage of getting one of their tempting beers. There was a small standing counter area but it was taken so we ate in the car, which is fine.... But less than ideal. I will definitely be back and will absolutely recommend Bennys. read more

I tried Benny's for the first time this week and O..M..G! It was absolutely delicious. I was grateful for the big portion as I was able to enjoy it twice! I will be going back and trying everything on their menu. I love me a good sandwich. read more

Benny's Brown Bag - Turkey Chili Crisp - Sandwiches Near Me - Peekskill, New York

You know you found something good when you think about it the best day. That's my feeling about the chili crisp turkey sandwich. Ah- maz-ing. Get it. You won't be disappointed with fresh tender turkey between crispy on the outside lightly toasted bread and seasoned with that chili crisp mayo , pickled onions and arugula. It's a complimenting combo of sweet and savory with just the right of heat from the chili crisp. If you don't know what chili crisp is : it's not meat chili that some may think. It's a Szechuan condiment made with ground peppers , oil and Szechuan peppercorns and other spices. My nephew had the bacon grilled cheese and he devoured it. We also had the mac salad. It tastes like homemade style and you should try it. For 3.50 you get enough for 2 sides easily. The place has no seating but it's a fun place to just look around at the plethora of chips, beers and soft drinks while your food is being made. The folks there are super cool. There's a school park across the street with picnic benches. read more

Benny's Brown Bag - The chili crisp turkey. It doesn't look like much but it's an explosion of flavor. - Sandwiches Near Me - Peekskill, New York

Best sandwich ship they always have a veggie option made with chickpeas. Yummy and can be made vegan. Natural juices. My kid likes their chicken sandwiches. Gotta remember not open on mondays. Get their loyalty card read more

The ambiance here is if Urban Outfitters took over That 70's Show, kicked Kitty & Red out of their own house, painted everything white and started selling sandwiches instead of sweaters. Anyway, I'm in a committed relationship with their "Turkey Chili Crisp", but have definitely had a few flings with their flavor of the week like I'm Michael Kelso himself, I also suggest the "Chimi Chimi Ya Roast Beef". The variety of drink options here should be worshipped, their snack selection is an eclectic hot mess and they always really make an effort to cater to the customer. They're open 11-5pm except Sundays (till 4) & Tuesdays (and until recently Mondays too) like it's a child's lemonade stand, although once you get over that I promise you this place will be home to one of your favorite sandwiches in Westchester. To the team at Benny's; when are you guys bringing back "Junior: The Funeral Crasher"?? I've been dreaming about that gloriousness since April already; let's make it happen. read more

Great vibe. Very friendly. Food came out quickly and hot. I got the horse radish sandwich. They didn't make the mistake that other places do with the horse radish drowning out the other flavors. But it was definitely the star 9/10. I also got the banana pudding 8/10. Only thing I don't like is this place being a hour drive from me. read more

Fabulous food with a great atmosphere. The staff could not be more pleasant and welcoming. Try it, you'll love it also!

I was visiting an old friend in the area and he wanted to take me here. I didn't think too much of going to a sandwich shop but I was totally blown away. This is one of the best sandwich shops in the world. Sandwiches were very delicious in all respects and HUGE. Each sandwich was enough for 2 people making this an incredible bargain as well. I will definitely make this a destination in the future when I travel north from NYC. read more

Some really creative sandwiches on the menu here. Best hot roast beef sandwich I've ever had (and I've had a lot of roast beef sandwiches). Very fast service and very good quality food. Interesting story as well about the pair that own this and bought it from the original longtime owner of what was an old-style local luncheonette. They've really been able to keep that theme alive. Pretty interesting business. read more

Delicious sandwiches, super friendly service. We grabbed a couple of sandwiches to take on a picnic. We had a Chili Crisp Turkey and a Green Goddess Chicken Salad BLT. They're both good-sized sandwiches on a large ciabatta roll. We split the 2 samdwiches between 3 people and had plenty of food. I really liked to chili crisp mayo on the turkey sandwich and the Green Goddess is my daughter's fav. Everybody who works there is really nice. Definitely our go-to sandwich shop in Peekskill. read more

Delicious! Tofu sandwich was excellent, roast beef was pink when I always expect red for NY but still so flavorful... chimi was delicious. Lady was very friendly and nice. I live kinda far and just got sandwiches for the bear mountain hike, but I may have to use my new buy 9 get 1 free card because it was yummy. read more

Benny's Brown Bag seriously brings the best to every sandwich made. They are warm welcoming people who seemingly love what they do. Our first visit was this past Sunday(father's day 2024) and was recommended 2 different sandwiches by the staff, Chimi Ya and Thai fried chicken and both delivered great flavors and texture. Got a few homemade cookies OTH that were crispy and sweet. Upon entering the staff was all laughing at us which was odd at first however once I realized they were actually laughing at my father's day shirt which read... "Proud Father of a few dumbass kids"... Now I'm a customer for life... Thank you Benny's!!!! read more

Have now tried all but two sandwiches on the every day menu and one special of the week. Benny's continues to impress with every bite. I especially like their recipes that combine savory, with sweet, as well as adding in a combo of creamy and crunch. Need at least one sandwich a week minimum from these guys. Keep doing what you do! read more

Food: 10/10 The best sandwich I've ever had is at Benny's Brown Bag. I took a hiking trip to Peekskill from Brooklyn and lucked out finding this gem! Every sandwich is unique, and the menu stays interesting with exciting specials and scrumptious homemade sauces. Follow them on Instagram! My favorite is the veggie stack. It's loaded up and massive like all of their sandwiches, packed with flavor, and topped with the perfect amount of salted cucumber and pickled cabbage. I've taken the Metro North from NYC just to come back here, and the food is consistently well-prepared and tasty. I've never had to wait long, and I love that they have vegan and vegetarian options that are creative and super flavorful. Also the best macaroni salad I've ever had. Everything is very reasonably priced, if not underpriced. They also have super affordable items for kids and students, too. Service: 10/10 The environment is welcoming, and everyone working there is friendly and kind. They constantly promote other local businesses and restaurants, and you can tell they're beloved by the community. Ambiance: 10/10 The vibes are immaculate -- sense of humor, impeccable taste and style, skate videos on vintage tvs, millenial-approved music, and a perfectly-curated selection of fun and local goods for sale. Perfect place to buy craft beers, gifts for foodies, fresh juices and ice cream, and artisan treats. Hands down 10/10 THE BEST in all of Peekskill and Westchester. read more

One of the things that we are blessed with here in Westchester are really good delis. Almost every town seems to have at least one that's good and some are downright excellent. But great delis are different from great sandwich joints. A lot of ingredients are common to almost any deli in Westchester. Bread from Yonkers, Portchester or the Bronx...sandwich meat largely from Boar's Head. And they do wonders with them. But great sandwich joints often make magic from different stuff. I haven't made the slightest dent in the number of good delis in Westchester, but I've been to most of the great sandwich joints. Think Mason, Melt, The Sandwich Spot, The Little Cabin(s). I'd even count Dante's among them, though you could certainly argue for them as an Italian deli, but I think they're more than that. I've had great lunches from all of these places. My favorite sandwich joint in Westchester is Benny's Brown Bag in Peekskill. I wouldn't say I'm quite a regular but...not to brag... I did recently earn my 10th punch on their loyalty card, entitling me to a free sandwich and an upgrade to first class on any airline flight within the continental US. Their menu is not massive, but it is curated. Everything I've tried has been a balanced mixture of tastes and textures. The Thai Chicken and the Turkey Chili Crisp are standouts. They do weekly specials which you should absolutely try. The owners are enthusiastic and friendly. Great folks. The only thing that would make the place even better would be some outdoor seating, but that's on the town...not them. I usually snag our sandwiches and make a beeline for the river or a nearby park to demolish them at our leisure. I'm usually pretty stuffed after a sandwich...but their banana pudding is worth leaving a little room for. Or, maybe save it for later. I recommend the place highly. read more
