With us, you’ll never leave hungry! Benson Avenue Tavern, located in Evanston, IL, is a unique, upscale deli and pub serving gourmet dishes in a fun & casual atmosphere. Our burgers have won awards from local papers, and Ted Brunson, WGN-TV Chicago’s Best host, said we have some of the very best sandwiches in Chicago! Our pulled pork is made in house, and we take a fine-dining approach to the selection of all vendors and suppliers. All of our bread comes from Bennison’s Bakery and managed by Jory Downer, World Cup of Baking Gold Medalist and Certified Master Baker. Kelly Eisenberg, from right here in Chicago, supplies our mouth-watering lean corned beef and pastrami. At Benson Avenue Tavern, we are always having fun. We have a game room with a pool table, foosball, a photo booth, and more, lots of space for private parties, and plenty of TVs for those sports fans. There's plenty of b**r options in house, a few on a rotating draft menu, and a great w**e and cocktail selection. Don’t forget to check out our drink and food specials. If you have a special event coming up, we have convenient catering platters for any occasion and the ability to customize any menu to your taste. Ask us about our gift cards and our WildCat Discount! Our goal is to give our customers an experience like no other beginning with the absolute best sandwiches on the planet and providing service that is second to none. Come join the fun!
