Not Kosher.
I don’t know if this place is good or not - as we could not eat there. HOWEVER- they were so nice about it and let us use the restroom even though we could not eat there in the end and helped us find a kosher option (little market) not too far.

I was very excited to try Benji's deli with my partner as neither of us had been there before and we are always on the lookout for a nice place to grab a quick bite. Unfortunately this did not live up to even the most basic of expectations. We ordered two chicken salad sandwiches, side of potato salad, and a slice of carrot cake which came out to about $25. The chicken salad was completely bland and the bread was very dry. The sandwich was also lacking a basic textural component. The potato salad, you guessed it, zero flavor with rather underdone crunchy potato chunks. The carrot cake was completely inedible as it was flavorless and mushy. We got out food to go and sadly this was done poorly too, the pickles were badly wrapped in aluminum foil which leaked all over the paper bag holding all the food ultimately causing the bottom to fall out of the bag. Fortunately we were setting the bag onto our kitchen counter so it was not as bad as it could have been.
Worst of all however was when my partner bit into her sandwich only to find that a wooden sandwich skewer had been laid sideways inside the sandwich! This is dangerous and she is very lucky that she didn't break a tooth or something.
Don't waste your time on this spot.

Real charming place. Walked in hungry and left more than satisfied. I got the corned beef sandwich, and it was delicious! The fries were perfect too! Also, really appreciated the friendliness of the staff! Definitely visiting again in the future!

I’ve been eating here for 2 years! Fresh cut fries 🍟 from potato 🥔 ‘s, my Reuben was neatly cut and everything was beautiful and delicious. I came b/c of the reviews. First time coming and I’ll be taking food 🥘 to go cause my teenage daughter loves corn beef sandwiches 🥪 too. I have OCD, love how my food wasn’t touching and so neat .. They also have good breakfast!

Service was great but the lox are mid. If you're ever in Chicago and want good lox, go to J.B's Deli!! I am ride or die for them. BENJI'S: GET CHIVE CREAM CHEESE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, AND WORK ON YOUR SCHMERE 😭
UPDATE: their soup is UNSEASONED, don’t get me started on the Matzo ball. They charged me $35 for two soups, a hot dog, and two sodas.
