Overall, solid place that I will get food from again!

The workers are only here to make what was requested. Then her friend calls and says shes allergic to mustard after they made the entire sandwich. Then her friends comes storming in the store, saying she is going to call the cops and ICE agents. Incredibly rude. She claimed she knew the owner and said that her mother comes every day and when the owner came she had no clue. So here is a picture of the rude customers. The food here is great, the owner came and resolved the situation. Please do not give small businesses like this a hard time. We need more of these around the neighborhood.

Sultana is also the ONLY Waiter there who when I asked for a well done knish, I Got a Well done Knish!! Other wait staff here are also good, but Sultana is always a step above everyone. Manager Jay is another Great addition he knows how to deal with the sometimes demanding clientele that comes here. Jay's smile shines bright despite what situations he's dealing with. Sultana, Jay and Awesome food are the reasons that BEN'S Deli will Always Strive.

The amount of the charge was reduced - the pastrami was taken off the bill. And You didn't pay extra for extra lean as extra lean was not ordered . (I retrieved a copy of your order)- but we gave you your money back anyway. Please check your bills . Thanks This is the response I got from owner that made no apologies for me having to drive back to the store to get my credit because it wasn't done to my credit card like being told by a rude person on the phone The owner also didn't bring up the fact that what ever his staff did or the quality of the food is mediocre. Your establishment was great and now it sucks Make it better!!!!!

I also ordered the Classic Throwback: #6 ( description copied straight from their website) - Grilled chicken, grilled asparagus, shaved parmesan cheese, fresh lemon, extra virgin olive oil and roasted garlic mayo served on ciabatta bread $17.67 - the perfect sandwich , so full of flavor, chicken grilled to perfection. I could only eat half while at the resto. Hours later I ate the other half and I and it cold and it was still perfectly delicious. I even tasted more of the flavors this time around. The bread used for the sandwich , just so good. This has become a new favorite and I will definitely be revisiting! Also, please add this sandwich to your everyday menu. Thank you in advance. As a side, everyone was super nice and welcoming and attentive to our needs TY!!!!

It's been six years since I last came here. The food is still pretty good and the service was…read morefriendly, but overall I found the sandwiches a bit overpriced. The menu has very detailed, almost elevated descriptions that make everything sound spectacular, but in practice the flavors don't quite come through, especially the sauces, which are barely noticeable. Our server was flexible when we asked to swap the potato chips for fries on the kids' grilled cheese meal, which we appreciated. However, we were then charged $1.40 for a side of ranch for the fries. I understand they have a range of specialty sauces and dips that are clearly priced on the menu, but that still felt steep for ranch. They also offer a combo option to add fries for $5, but the portion doesn't really feel aligned with the price. The steak sandwich itself was surprisingly tender, even though it looked like it might be tough. That said, I couldn't taste the roasted red pepper sauce, and the "sweet onion jam" turned out to just be caramelized onions. My mother actually ended up picking them out because she doesn't eat onions. (she won't eat onions that she can see) The buffalo cauliflower was tasty, but could have been crispier. The "serves two" description also felt a bit generous given the small portion. I also ordered a brisket sandwich to go with fries. The coleslaw sounded great on the menu, but in reality the flavors didn't stand out, no real hint of jalapeño, just a fairly standard slaw. Overall, the food descriptions felt more impressive than the actual execution, though the to-go fries portion was more generous, which was a nice surprise. Would I go back? I'm not sure. Maybe for a casual visit with a few beers and fries with an assortment of dipping sauces...I am a sucker for those.

The eggplant was tender and the filling very nice without being too heavy. The empanada was easily the best I have ever eaten. The shell was thin, light and flaky. The inside was very flavorful and plentiful. (They offer a vast selection of filling choices. Next time I might just order several knowing that it will be excellent). The hero was good but far from great. The pastrami needed to be sliced thinner and the coleslaw probably had cilantro in it of which I am not a fan. My suggestion is stick with the empanadas and the Italian offerings. Very nice!!
