Avenue K - Santa Ana

Great spot to unwind! On Fridays, a few colleagues and I like to wrap up our work week and kick off the weekend with a refreshing cold beer or a hand-shaken margarita.

This place is incredibly charming, albeit quite small. It has a unique vibe that feels like a cozy neighborhood bar, reminiscent of a hidden gem you’d find in your local park. The atmosphere is inviting, and the staff are friendly, creating a warm and welcoming experience. Overall, it’s a fantastic spot that really stands out!

I've been craving my Hot Turkey Sandwich from Benji's during this tough year, so I finally decided to treat myself and got one to go. It cost around $18—okay, I get it, but it should be worth it. Unfortunately, it wasn't. The mashed potatoes weren't even warm, let alone hot, and the gravy lacked flavor and didn't suit the sandwich at all. I was really disappointed.

My friend invited me over for a pastrami sandwich after I told him that Sunnymead Burgers was FSBO. Well, after a long drive to Tustin from Surprise, we met and drove on over to Benjies. The menu was impressive, but sticking to my desire, I ordered the pastrami sandwich. It came piled high, moist and with a side of cole slaw.At $15.95 a little hit but delicious! Now on my list.

Today I stopped at Benjies for lunch. The Benjie Special (Hot Pastrami with Coleslaw and Russian Dressing on Rye) was great. I will definitely will eat here again.
