Benji’s Deli Remains a Milwaukee Gem
Short Orders
When thinking about
what to order at Benji’s Deli (4156
N. Oakland Ave. and 8683 N. Port Washington Road), corned
beef and pastrami instantly come to mind. Then again, so do soups like the
homemade chicken broth and tart cabbage borscht. For the hungry appetite, there
is nothing like the simply described chicken in the pot, a large bowl that
holds a full half-chicken, two matzoh balls, noodles, slices of carrot and
plenty of chicken broth. The chicken is big and meaty, and the bones are still
in. It’s a lot of food for less than $10. Also consider the French dip, which
is made with very tender beef brisket and served with a small bowl of gravy
with homemade character—wintertime comfort food. Benji’s has been in business
for decades for a reason: quality.
