Ben's has been a favorite of mine ever since I can remember. When I was living out in California this was one of those places I missed. Ben's is a kosher restaurant which serves meat. You will find no dairy or pork products here due to this being a kosher establishment.
One of the things I love about this place is they bring pickles (half sour and full sour) to the table for everyone. I LOVE sour pickles. I always look forward to this tangy, salt infused treat. This is accompanied by cole-slaw, though I do not indulge in this.
At this particular Ben's I ordered a half sandwich and soup. For the soup I had the Matzah Ball and it came in a rather large bowl with one nice sized Matzah Ball. The temperature was perfect and the Soup and Noodles complemented each other perfectly. For my Half Sandwich I had Extra Lean Pastrami and while it was a Half Sandwich it was rather fulfilling.
There are also burgers, Potato Latkes, and the other popular "noshes" you would expect to find at this kind of place.
