It’s Time for Irish Celebration at Benjies New York Deli in Santa Ana!

Kiss us, we’re Irish! We mean—Jewish! Serving Irish food!

We know it’s confusing, but don’t worry. We bring the Irish to our New York-style deli every year for the best corned beef and cabbage Orange County’s ever seen. (more…)

Superbowl Sunday Parties: Benjies Deli Has You Catered

veggiesLo

 

It’s an exciting Superbowl this season, now up to its 47th year. And we have a California team in the game—the San Francisco 49ers, and they’re favored to win! Sorry Baltimore Ravens— we know that Ray Lewis would probably implode if they won the game, and he is deserving of the win on his eve of retirement—but we’re rooting for the 49ers.

So, what are you planning for Superbowl Sunday? The weather forecast for Southern California makes it look like a planning barbecue will be a great idea. (Again—sorry fans in the rest of the country! We’re really blessed here!)If you’re thinking of hosting one, don’t forget about our awesome Nathan’s World Famous Hot Dogs that you can serve up alongside your barbecued burgers, plus all sorts of appetizers for snacking during the game. Our deviled eggs are famous across the state, and we offer the traditional Superbowl snack items, like Hot Wings or Barbeque Meatballs by the dozen. Other hors d’oeuvres include chicken fingers, mini chicken egg rolls or the Cubed Tidbit Cheese & Salami tray. Order now so we can make sure your order is ready for you on the big day!

But what if you’re invited to a party? Well, don’t be rude and show up empty-handed! Call us and order one or more of our delicious platters: choose from the Sandwich Platter, the 16″ Ring Sandwich, the Cold Cut Buffet, the Brown Bag Buffet, the Smoked Fish Platter or the Lox Platter.

If you’re invited to one, why not call up Benjies the day before to order up a few of their delicious platters. That way you won’t miss any of the Superbowl action. Get Hot Wings or Barbeque Meatballs by the dozen, or choose from one of our many sandwich trays. Want the sandwiches ready to eat? Try the Sandwich Platter or the 16″ Ring Sandwich. Want to give your guests the option of making their own? No problem: order the Cold Cut Buffet, the Brown Bag Buffet, the Smoked Fish Platter or the Lox Platter. Mini sandwiches are always a bit hit at these parties, too, especially with kids and those who don’t want to fill up with a big Benjies sandwich.

We also have some lighter options too, like fruit trays, or vegetable trays. These are great to make sure that you have something for vegetarians and vegans—it’s SoCal after all, and you want everyone to feel welcome, even if they’re not going to eat the Hot Wings or hamburgers.

Ready to place your order? Call (714) 541-6263 and ask for Lloyd, Noriko or Chanele to make a catering order, or just come on in and sit down for a fantastic meal—we’ll cook it fresh for you.

Get Your Hanukkah Favorites at Benjies New York Deli in Orange County!

Hanukkah is almost upon us, and what a wonderful time of year it is! Some people just treat themselves to their favorite Jewish dishes at the holidays, and we want them all to know that we serve most of them all year round. That’s right—have latkes any day of the week at Benjies. We’ve got them any time you want them.

What else does Benjies Deli have in the way of the traditional Jewish dishes? Well, we don’t want to brag, but your mother would be proud of our menu. Start with some noshing—who doesn’t love some noshing while catching up with friends or relatives? (more…)

Benjies Deli: Spooky Catering Ideas for Halloween Parties

It’s that time of year again, and many people’s favorite time of year. The air gets crisper, the leaves start changing, and in Southern California, we might even have to throw on a sweater and trade the flip-flops for sneakers. It’s also Halloween, where visions of bags full of candy dance in the heads of young children, while adults dream up that perfect outfit for the costume party.

And since Halloween is on a Wednesday this year (which means the Day of the Dead is on Thursday), we’ve really got two weekends to celebrate, and that’s no bad thing. Well, it is if you’re the one putting on the parties! But you shouldn’t worry—Benjies New York Deli is here to provide all the perfect party food while all you have to do is open a few bottles of spirits and mixers and make sure there’s plenty of ice. (Dry ice too, if it’s that kind of scary party!) (more…)

It’s Rosh Hashanah at Benjies NY Deli in Santa Ana This Weekend!

Rosh Hashanah is just a few days away, and if you’re looking for a place to celebrate this holiday, Benjies Deli should be your destination. We have been serving traditional Jewish food in Santa Ana every single day since we opened our doors in 1967. We also cater traditional foods, too, and our Seder plates are always popular in the spring. If you’re having a celebration for Rosh Hashanah, let Benjies Deli cater with your favorite Jewish menu items while you take all the credit! (more…)

It’s Time for Super Bowl Eats at Benjies Deli!

With a little less than a week left until the Super Bowl Sunday, you know Benjies Deli is gearing up and getting excited!  Last week’s games were absolutely unbelievable—49ers were so close to going to the Super Bowl, but those fumbles by Kyle Williams really set them back. It was a great run for the 49ers though, and a fantastic season. Can you imagine what a game that would have been, the 49ers versus the Ravens?! Anyway, we digress…

So they meet again, the New York Giants and the New England Patriots, face-to-face since that epic matchup in 2008 where the Giants upset the undefeated Pats. (more…)

Happy Chanukah—Benjies Deli Has Everything You Need

If you’ve been waiting for Chanukah to indulge in some latkes, now is the time. We do have them every day of the week at Benjies, but now is the time to really go for it and savor those delicious potato pancakes! Why not get some pastrami too, and sandwich it between two latkes? Hmmm, we might need to talk to the chef about putting that on the menu…

Come in tonight for our mouthwateringly tender brisket dinners, and our long-awaited roast chicken, which customers have been begging us to put on the normal menu. But we like to keep it for special occasions, like Chanukah and Yom Kippur. (more…)

‘Tis the Season for Benjies New York Deli

Our smoked fish tray is a popular one for parties, especially around the holidays!

There is so much going on in November and December—Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas—and Benjies Deli can help you with it all. What about the NFL and Monday Night Football? We’ve got it covered. We can’t help break the NBA standoff between players and owners, as that seems impossible even for them to sort out! We miss you, Lakers…

But back to celebrating the season, whether that be family holidays or sports! Thanksgiving is coming up, and many people have family in town for the whole weekend. Now, if you’ve spent hours (or even days) preparing a humongous turkey dinner for 25 people, the last thing you want to do for the rest of the weekend is cook. And, let’s be honest, there’s only so much turkey that a human can eat. Call Benjies! Make sure you call in an order for a selection from our hot dinners, served with potatoes, vegetables, salad,  rolls and butter. Choose from roast brisket of beef with potato pancakes, corned beef and cabbage, roast chicken, roast turkey with stuffing and gravy, meatloaf and gravy and Swiss steak. Make sure you call us BEFORE Thanksgiving though, as these orders usually need 72 hours advance notice. (more…)
