I have always loved Ben’s! I grew up next to one by my elementary school. This evening I was there for a 90th party and they did an amazing job from pickles to pastrami and more

Worst order I’ve ever made!
Completely forgot my pickles I paid almost 3$ for; gave me mustard instead of salad dressing… no idea how that even gets mixed up; no napkins or utensils; and the soup was so filling it exploded everywhere when opened.
How can a simple soup and salad be this messed up?! I cannot believe I paid 40$ for this.

A most excellent deli. Must have opened in the 1960s, because that’s the vibe you get from the beautiful decor. Comfortable seating, and absolutely delicious pastrami sandwiches. Served with pickles and coke slaw, of course. And the matzoh ball soup was perfect. I don’t know how the servers deal so pleasantly with the old clientele, because I am older clientele, and believe me it ain’t easy. But they do; the service was delivered with professionalism and a good amount of humor. Accessible ♿️. Huge parking area. Try it.

A great deli experience in the Bayside area. Ben’s has been around for a while and is one of the best spots for some pastrami and corned beef. The staff are friendly and there’s not much of a wait for lunch on a weekday. Corned beef and liver is my go-to sandwich here. The matzo ball soup and pickles are absolutely delicious. The matzo ball soup is great during the winter as it comes out piping hot! For others, the coleslaw and hot dogs here are great too.

The food was terrible!! Tasteless and the turkey meat they served was spoiled, it had green and blue tones and tasted bad!!! When I pointed that out, the manager was aggressive with me instead of looking at the meat with attention

Man, I wish I tried this place sooner. It’s deceptively big inside and has old school diner vibes. The service is super friendly, the prices are fair and the food is terrific.
Fan of pickles and coleslaw? They make their own and they’re superb. Oh, and they’re bottomless too. Puts the gross soggy pickles and coleslaw at Neptune Diner to shame… in fact, everything I’ve tried here puts the Neptune equivalents to shame.
The corned beef sandwich is big and great quality. They also offer it extra lean which is a nice option to have, same goes for the pastrami. The french fries here are made fresh and they taste it.
Will definitely be making this a mainstay. It may not offer the variety of a diner, but checks so many diner boxes that I can safely say this is an amazing alternative to the lazy Neptune quality just down the street.

I enjoyed my first visit to Ben’s Kosher Delicatessen. Oh my goodness, it was my first time eating latkes and they were simply amazing. The kosher hotdogs with various toppings were very delicious as well. Service was exceptional. I’m glad that I was able to try out some menu items. I had a great time. Jaime was really nice and helpful.

This is the very best sit down table service deli in all of Queens. Their meats are excellent, their soups are fresh and flavorful and the unlimited pickles and delicious cole slaw seal the deal for me. After years of ordering corned beef and pastrami (irresistible!), I finally tried their weekly Thursday Turkey Feast (every Thursday is Thanksgiving here) and it absolutely did not disappoint! Here’s a tip: the turkey stuffing is only available on Thursday so be sure to order an extra side dish of it as an accompaniment to any other menu offering on that day. They offer an extremely diverse menu so there will always be something to delight any palate. The only dish I won’t be ordering again is their mock “creamed spinach.” As a Kosher deli, no dairy is used in cooking or preparation.
And, since you’ll very likely be returning, absolutely join their Ben’s frequent diner program.

I went here today to celebrate my birthday! My family and I enjoyed being at the restaurant. For starters, the restaurant is very clean. We appreciate the waiters, especially Andres! He was our main waiter and very attentive. The food was good, but could’ve been more seasoned according to my mom and sisters. Other then that, not too much to complain about.
