“We needed very quick service for a post meal after a funeral, provided via catering. We got it. When a mistake on OUR end could have made a mess, Ronnie, founder of Ben's, responded to a middle of the night email and quickly fixed the arrangements. Thanks to everyone who helped us get through a very difficult day!”

~ Ron, East Northport, NY

“Few restaurants serve food as well to take out as they do to dine in. But Ben’s does. The same Ben’s excellence.”

~ Mark, Boca, FL
