Incredibly charming and delicious, also they have “smoked salmonaise” so I am now subletting one of their three seats.

This is now one of my favorite places in South Portland. It has a very homey feel to it. You can find public parking nearby. Ask the folks about the stained glass for a cool story. Very nice and informative staff. Very accommodating, too!I've never had a knish before going to this establishment - and they are absolutely delicious. So far, I've liked or loved everything I've had. Their zesty pickles are STRONG. You've been warned. They let us try it for free before buying one which was very nice! I love their signature Ben Reuben knish the most. The meat is very tender and moist. The bread isn't soggy from the moist filling. They give you a choice of which sauce you would like to go with your knish. They also have sandwiches which are very good - their Reuben is probably one of the best I've ever had. It felt like I was back in NYC around Houston street. Definitely stop by or order online from them if you can.
I don't want to tell you how good it is, because I want it all for myself. I had a knish and a sandwich(corned beef).

Very friendly service. Delicious and fresh knishes. I liked that they offered so many vegetarian options. Worth a visit!

Graham and his staff went far above and beyond for our family. On not even 48 hours notice, they produced a Shiva meal that was phenomenal and brought both comfort and delight. And that’s not including the rave reviews for the food! Brisket that melted in your mouth, terrific chicken for the non-beef eaters, sides that were the epitome of comfort food, and amazing knishes. Part of the above and beyond was doing a sloppy joe knish, which had been a family favorite of much of the family as children. This was a meal that everyone enjoyed, that brought us closer together over fond memories, and brought comfort after a sudden and traumatic loss. There are no words, or certainly not enough of them, for Graham’s kindness and generosity. Not to mention his staff, who helped deliver this incredible meal on such short order. I cannot recommend BenReubens Knishery more highly. Thanks and gratitude are not enough for all you all did at such a challenging time.

Shonah Tovah!!! Outstanding Rosh Hashanah Dinner!!! The Kugel brought me back to my childhood days, having dinner with my Bubbie. Can't wait to see what specials are available for Hanukkah.
We have been wanting to try this place ever since we read about its opening a couple of years ago.We love knishes and so respect that the tradition is being kept alive as many of the places to get knishes in NYC have closed and there are so few places to get in CT (at least nearby where I live). We ordered 1 heated potato, cream cheese and scallion knish. Outstanding! All knishes come with a dipping sauce of choice but we did not even use one and just gobbled it up. The in house made smoked beef dog was packed full of flavor and the mustard on it was fantastic. We washed all down with a Dr.Brown's diet cherry. What a treat. We later ate the Ben Reuben knish, which was really good. The zucchini knish was o.k., but instead of chunks I would have preferred either smaller cuts or shredded. There are sandwiches, salads, pickles, and sweets too.Ben the owner was so friendly and helpful. I look forward to returning on our next visit to ME and would recommend a stop in. No restroom, on street parking.

Absolutely delicious foods. Every single item I ordered was the best I have ever tried. I even cried at how delicious my sandwich was. I got rugelach, hamentaschen, macaroons, a corned beef and pastrami sandwich, and one of each knish. My only regret is that I don't live anywhere near this place.Graeme is so nice to talk to and I loved all the old photo of his family.

This place is phenomenal. A one-of-a-kind gem in the Portland area. Everything I've had from this place is a winner! Arguably some of the best food in Southern Maine!
