Best seafood salad sandwich I ever had in my lifetime all over the world. Also amazing service from pleasant ladies behind the counter and deli counter.

This is the perfect neighborhood market, complete with cafe seating. Friendly, competent and cheerful management. High quality deli, excellent selection for such a small and friendly market.

Quality Deli serving Dietz and Watson. You can't go wrong here. Today I picked up mixed cheese on a French Baguette. One of my favorite sandwiches is the chicken salad with cranberry and walnuts.

Today the woman who made me my sandwich looked me in the eye and said "this is a good sandwich", and she was so right. It is, in fact, the best sandwich I have had in philly. But even if you don't like sandwiches, there is something for everyone, and plenty of seating to boot.

Great selection of fruits and vegetables. Their deli has wide variety of options. Service is is fast. I’ve never had a bad sandwich here!

Amazing family-run, affordable deli in heart of Philly. They have delicious lunch options for vegetarians and have the best prices for breakfast sandwiches anywhere I've seen- $3.76 for an egg and cheese on a bagel. Delicious and affordable. I will be back for years to come.

I LOVE the smoked turkey on French baguette... mind you the breads are made in-house and are usually ready around 10ish OM Goodness so delicious. I have been coming here since the late 90s and the quality and service has remained superb!!! A great place for lunch or dinner, pre-Covid you could dine in... I use to sit and people watch while enjoying a satisfying lunch 😊

Can't live without them Deliver Their restaurant has great huge salads, good subs, sandwiches, and paninis. Plus sides by the pound Can get done chickens. Whole parts. And sides. Love their lox spread. Fresh bagels, rolls, fruit and veggies.

This place is great. They use Dietz and Watson cold cuts for sandwiches with great bread, so you get a terrific sandwich. You get a nice, big sandwich at a decent prize. Sell paninis, hoagies, wraps, pitas, etc. Have meat and vegetarian choices. Hot and cold sandwiches. Convenience store as well. Can buy your food to go or stay and eat at their tables. Right in Center City, so easy access from work.

It smelled especially delicious inside tonight (like bacon), the staff is friendly and entertaining (note the one cashier who playfully ribs customers) and the selection is consistently wonderful (bunches of aromatic fresh cilantro are one of my staples).

I always love going to Kennedy Food Garden. The staff is friendly, the food is excellent and it's in a very convenient spot for me to have lunch there and get back to work with time to spare. If anyone goes there I highly reccomend the Cranberry Walnut Chicken Salad. It's so good! I usually have them make a wrap for me with it. Trust me, it's worth trying.

Huge portions for the money great friendly staff. Another busy place for lunch if you get there alittle early you can get a table although you may upset the regulars from the apartment building upstairs. Don't park right out front unless you like donating to the PPA.

Chicken parm sandwich, chicken avocado sandwich, & chicken avocado salad are all giant and amazing. Rotisserie chicken and sides are delicious too but only ready closer to noon, not really before 11:45AM generally. Great value, lot of grade A food for the $.

Kennedy House deli is located at the ground floor of the Kennedy House apartments. Friendly staff! Good sandwiches! Everything is always fresh! It’s also a market. They make breakfast sandwiches too. I had an Egg bagel toasted with Lox and Cream cheese! Delicious! Stopped back later and ordered an Italian Hoagie for later. I love their hoagies! There’s seating available if you want to sit and eat.

Just moved into Kennedy House. Went to the Garden for something to eat. Good food at good prices. The salads are huge, enough for 2 meals. Also good breakfast sandwiches. Great place for a casual meal.

My hope is to believe that Delis will do you right. With a good rotation of customers everything will always be great. Right? Well not totally. Corn Beef Special is my go to. But the bread was just a little tough. I know rye bread can be hard but I normally have one where the rye is a little softer. Ate the sandwich without the bread and I was pleased. Store is great as you can so many other small items. You can eat in or take out.

Sandwich are good but the price on the website has nothing to do with the price once you’re at the place. Every items has 1/2$ difference. Already told them multiple time but they said « We are not the one doing the website » LMAO, scammers.

So slow! Also: dirty, and no ventilation. Note, there's no actual outdoor garden. This place had good reviews but I was disappointed. It was subpar. I was excited to go on a beautiful day in Philly, thinking I'd got a sandwich and eat outside. Note - there's no actual garden. Positive - seems reasonably priced for the area. The staff was nice and were hustling but the system was just poorly set up so it still ended up having lots of delays. Negative - everything else. I'll highlight 3 issues - 1) They're hustling but so inefficient - long lines for ordering, long waits for a basic sandwich to arrive, and then a long line to pay. 2) The place is in serious need of ventilation. It was stuffy. 3) It's dirty, which concerns me. It's certainly possible they have high standards for their kitchen and it's all sanitary, but the place was dirty, and that made eating there a lot less tolerable. It might be unfair that I had expectations of it being more than what it was. Lower your expectations and maybe it would be fine. The table next to me seem to be a big fan of the sandwiches. They said it's 'worth the wait' for the huge sandwiches. Perhaps I caught them on a bad day

I normally eat there every day and I’ve done take out during this COVID-19 period. I heard my favourite employee that was working there for 13 years at least was laid off because they had COVID-19. They had spent their required time in quarantine only to come out of it ready to work and found out they had no job. all immigrants Need to be treated fairly during this time period. If you’re going to treat an employee like a slave and not be filled with compassioon to the people that make all your money and profit that’s not right. I think this is time to boycott this establishment.
