I love Ben's deli. I have been going there for at least 20+ years.I love the pickles and coleslaw and I always order either the Brisket or a very Juicy pastrami on Rye. To me, the food prices are very affordable and the food is better than let's say Katz deli. I like it more. Thank you Ben's deli. Keep up the great work.

I love the food and the price. I never had a problem with my dinning experience. The service is good. I love the pickles and coleslaw. They make great matzah ball soup. I love the Pastrami sandwich. I order it extra fatty on rye and its is a great sandwich and a great value. Given the prices of eating out. I appreciate their quality. I rate it a A

So I did not go to this location to eat but I did order a Pastrami Sandwich on Uber Eats. I must say. That had to be the most disgusting pastrami I've ever had. It had no fat. It was dry. It had the consistency of jerky. I asked for Swiss Cheese and it was not added. I paid $0.50 for mustard and asked for mustard on the side. I small amount was on the sandwich and no side was sent. A lot of reviews say this is the best Pastrami in Queens. If this is what's the best, I would say pass on this place. HORRIBLE FOOD!!!!! I had to force myself to finish the sandwich because my order was $25 and I didn't want to feel as though I wasted my money. Please do not order from this place.

Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. I’m not one to typically complain about customer service but this was unnecessary rudeness for no reason. Both the man and women who were at the checkout counter were extremely rude. The cooks I will say were very nice. However, the bald guy behind the cashier clearly needs customer service training. All that for the food to not even be that good. So disappointed

I ordered take-out the past two weekends.. the soup, knishes, and chicken pot pie are outstanding. The service was also very accommodating and professional. The space was clean and orderly... however.. ... this past weekend, I ordered a tongue sandwich and corned beef sandwich.. both of which were very dry.. honestly, almost editable.. not worth the money. I expected more.

Wonderful Kosher Meals. Had a good old fashioned hot dog with cooked onions on it and a round potato kinish. You always get coleslaw and pickles.

It's been a while since I was here. The Rueben panini was great. My fries were perfect. I still love the coleslaw and pickles. The service was okay. I felt there was a little barrier with language and I had to repeat myself for more water and our order. They need to give bigger glasses for water.

A nice spot for authentic Jewish food but surprised of the lack of quantity of meat on the sandwiches and the type of rye bread. Not so happy but still have the pickles and coleslaw.

What a ripoff. I ordered a quart of ronnie's old fashion chicken soup with noodles. It should be renamed salt water with noodles b/c there was not a single piece of chicken in it. Charging $12 for this is highway robbery. Never again.

I've been eating kosher delicatessen food for my entire life. I've been eating Ben's since the 1980s. It's just not the same anymore. Smaller sandwiches, dry chewy meats, cold microwaved knishes, tasteless derma.Dear Ben,You better get your act together because you might just disappear like all the other kosher delis in Queens and Nassau County. Shrinkflation AND higher prices is a double death plan if you ask me.

Didn’t even get a chance to order and I’m glad based on the other reviews . Cashier was rude and place is not friendly. I will NOT be returning and 100% do NOT recommend.

I got two soups, one chicken noodle and one mushroom barley. They are both very good but I'm a little disappointed in the chicken noddle soup. There is no chicken at all in it and there is supposed to also be carrots but not carrots either. Just wish they called it noodle soup if that's what it is. The staff is super friendly and helpful. I'll def order from her again but maybe rethink the chicken soup.

Good neighborhood standby, food is always delicious and fast. This place in the Bay Terrace Shopping Center had been around forever.

I bought two quarts of chicken soup with noodles to go as my better half was sick and I figured this would be of help to her. ($10.99 each). I get home, she wakes up a little while later and has some soup. There is NO CHICKEN in the chicken noodle soup. I call and tell them there is NO CHICKEN in my chicken noodle soup. They tell me the regular chicken soup (listed on the menu as Old Fashioned) HAS NO CHICKEN, but their Grandma's soup does. Nowhere on their menu does it say that the Old Fashioned chicken soup has NO CHICKEN. GTFOOH. I won't ever be back.
