Ben & Irv's

Have loved this place since I was a kid & it was in another location. If you want authentic Jewish cuisine that is a taste of traditional Eastern Europe, this is the place. The food is consistent and delicious. The only reason I didn't give the food 5 stars is because they changed their knishes! New York style? No thank you! Bring back the original thin dough, filling packed ones w/ the caramelized onions on the potato variety. You were one of the few delis left who had the traditional versions, now you have cylindrical, dry, thick-doughed, bland knishes, with options that are fruit filled! Blueberry knishes? I think not. Otherwise, the soups are all noteworthy, the deli sandwiches are incredible, and the fish platters are all that you could want. I'm happy to say you still get a nice bowl

Going here for years now... like 30 years... We all know how much we love Ben and Irv's!!! Hands down... best all around. Moving to my experience. I'm traveling from South Philly to come here for My 45th Birthday lunch!!! Flat tire and little flustered upon arriving...late ( so sorry) also on a very busy Sunday afternoon. Every single one of the staff is classic A+++. I just took it all in. With nostalgia feels...Felt comfortable and all better. To see My family at ease. As they made our spot a safe space for us as a large party. Clean service. My excitement to see how you have stayed consistent all these years in your outstanding establishment. Thank you for all yous did...shout out to the young man who took our family pic. It's being framed now... You should be a photographer honestly

Ben & Irv's is the best. Massive menu and yet I often up ordering the same thing because it's so good. Very nice portions. Food is terrific. Comfort food of all kinds, including good authentic Jewish food. You'll recognize many of the servers through the years. Place feels like family. Great service. Great food.

Met a couple friends here for lunch the food is really good. Of course the corn beef special was delicious. Our server Michael was top notch continued to check on us to see if we needed anything. Thanks again Michael we will be back.

Ordered for delivery and food was cold. The cream chipped beef on toast was of course soggy after reheating, but also under seasoned. Home fries were fine and am sure could be better if fresh. I also ordered the cucumber salad to eat later which was not good.
