Max Benny's - Northbrook

The corned beef used to have more flavor. The potato pancake was wonderful.

Always wonderful selection of carry out frozen items!!

We stop here whenever we are in the area, even if it's 10 or more miles outside. Place is huge so don't let full parking lot scare you. Potato pancakes and corned beef are done of the best we've had, even including New York delis. Take some cookies to go, they are great too!

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!
