Benji's Delicatessen & Restaurant

Tim loves a good Reuben sandwich. His favorite is from a little restaurant in Rockford Illinois called the Rathskeller. It seems as though that German restaurant has set the bar high on any future Reuben's that Tim has tried. Last week we tried Benji's Delicatessen & Restaurant located at 4156 N Oakland Avenue in Milwaukee. My mom had told me years ago that Benji's was famous for their Reuben. The restaurant is located in a strip mall. First impressions of the outside were not so good..... But we know from past experiences its the food inside that counts. We sat at a table and ordered our meals. Tim ordered the classic Benji, corn beef on Miller rye bread. I ordered the classic Reuben, corn beef, sauerkraut on Miller rye bread with a side of horseradish. When the sandwiches arrived, we cut them in half so that Tim had I both had a half of the other. I have to admit the corn beef was the best I have ever had. It was so tender that it melted in your mouth. Tim agreed. He thought the corn beef was the best he has tasted but Rathskeller still makes the best sandwich.
