Who knew there was such a market for deli food smack in the middle of the flyover? Benji's Delicatessen & Restaurant can scratch your itch for a little New York-style deli action with matzo ball soup, mushroom barley soup, chopped liver, or herring in wine sauce - and those are just the starters. Let bubbe
overfeed you with a heaping helping of corned beef and cabbage, brisket, smoked fish, or a Reuben. And see that plate so heavy the server has to use two hands? That's the meat loaf - two big slices. Dare ya to finish it. There's a long counter that makes Benji's a good place for a solo diner. Snatch a newspaper and grab a stool. Breakfast here is such a treat - go for the Hoppel Poppel (a skillet of potatoes, sizzled salami and eggs) or get the equally toothsome spinach Benedict, authentic corned beef hash, the deluxe tenderloin Benedict or matzo brei (called fried matzo here). Try a chocolate phosphate - a little fizzy soda, a little chocolate syrup - to sample the taste that revved up your great-grandparents. Can't live without beef bacon or turkey pastrami? Benji's sells their goodies by the pound, too.Kids' menu. Beer available at Oakland Avenue location only. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner daily."Benji's has been in business for decades for a reason: quality."- Jeff Beutner,
