Max Benny's - Northbrook

Max and Benny's was our go-to for delicious corned beef and Ruben sandwiches with their crispy thin fries. They also served very tasty buns that came to the table immediately...about 4 buns for the 2 of us. Unfortunately, things have greatly changed. The corned beef was cold, dry and had no flavor. It used to be served quite warm with a robust garlic flavor. The bread on the Ruben was sliced extremely thin, again the corned beef was dry and tasteless with some tough parts. There was hardly any Sauerkraut. Their thin fries were excellent untill they changed to the ubiquitous fries you get at many chain restaurants. All in all a great disappointment to what used to be the best deli for corned beef and everything Jewish.. So sad that it's changed.

This is our 4th or 5th visit to the restaurant/ deli. We try to go at least once a year. We love their food! Their corned beef and pastrami sandwiches are delicious. Their soups also. The service is excellent. It’s a bit pricey but everything has gone up in price. Their quality of food and amount of serving has not changed: and that is what counts. If you’re going to pay premium prices, you should receive premium food and service. They have frozen soups to go and their ‘biscottis’ are pretty good..Many blessings in the new year 2024 to all that makes this a superb restaurant!

Such a good local deli! their sandwiches are amazing and so fresh. we love getting extra sides too. it's really nice that you can eat here too. the kids love that. service is always friendly and the prices are competitive! challah bread is amazing on the sandwiches.

Service was very slow. Sat with empty drink glasses. Long delays between ordering and getting soup, between soup and getting meal. Empty soup bowls were not cleared. Took 20 minutes to get the check. We were there on a Saturday at 1:00 so we were not in the middle of a lunch or dinner rush.

My father and I had dinner last night. The white fish and chicken dinner were very good. The staff went beyond nice to provide my dad with the cocktail he wanted. They also turned in the hearing aid he left there. Great food and people.
