Been awhile since we've been here. Seated promptly. Menu prices are on the higher end compared to other similar restaurants in the area. BLT had very riped tomatoes, which made the sandwich good. The Monti Christo was ok. Honestly, the pickels were the best out of the whole meal, and they were free!

Normally they have really good food. Portions are plentiful. Taste is mostly on point. I have to say that my only disappointments are the popcorn shrimp and the chicken parm. The shrimp is definitely SeaPak brand. The look gives it away immediately. The parm, burnt, hard, chewy. I'd stick to the sandwiches and the soups. Desserts are very good as well.

Table of 4, 2 ordered soup and both were good and served pretty hot, never hot enough. Sandwiches were all tasty, onion rings great as always. The price for a small container of schnecken was over $20, a bit too much.

Ben&Irv's is unassuming at the door, ambiguous as you step into its counter and deli. And ABSOLUTELY phenomenal when you sit to eat. Our waitresses were very friendly and tagged teamed our needs until the end of two very scrumptious sandwiches (the Stack and a closed Reuben) and the delightful pickled plate and tea that was kept topped off. It's worth the 26 mile round trip we made.

Great Deli with so many options. We ordered take out at lunch time. The restaurant was crowded . Took 15 minutes. Got a 23c. Roast beef club with Swiss, coleslaw and Russian dressing on Rye bread. Sandwich was HUGE, served with a new pickle and small bag of chips. Roast beef was lean, cooked perfectly and sliced thinly. So many items to choose from in the deli cases with salads and Desserts. Gluten free options. Located in a shopping mall with plenty of Parking.

Food is delicious and portions are huge! I got a cheeseburger and it was delicious and made to order. This was an everything bagel with lox and cream cheese. It was a monster!
