Solid spot! The groceries are a little expensive but that's to be expected in the city. The people that work there are great as well as the locals that stop in everyday! I go there for the paninis! You won't be disappointed!

A colleague and I split a salad and it came out on two huge plates! I was amazed at the size! The avocado was delicious (hard to find good ones here in this city) and the chicken was tasty. Lots of peppers, which I don't like personally (wish I did because they looked fresh and crisp), and my colleague cleaned her plate. The staff are very friendly and I felt really comfortable here. The other side of the place is a convenience store and while we didn't spend a lot of time there, that is where you pay for your food.

Kennedy food market is great. Good selection, polite staff, delicious deli sandwiches.

I love this deli. Super cheap sandwiches compared to the rest of the area. They also have one of my favorite breakfast sandwiches in the city. I go with the classic BEC on rye or wheat. They load up their sandwiches and their bacon is so damn good. I also love a good BLT and this place makes a damn good one. As far as the grocery side goes, it's expensive. But its comparable to all corner grocery stores. Still reasonable if you need something in a pinch and they have pretty much everything you'll need.

1.) Reason for Coming - Looking for a place to grab a quick bite after the Philadelphia Marathon that was not that crowded, open, and could cater to both Mark and I. 2.) Aesthetics: We actually passed by Kennedy Food Garden once and had to circle back (after making a couple of additional turns due to street closures and lovely ill positioned one way streets.) Thankfully Google Maps provided a picture of the store front or we might have given up. Very non discript entrance that is actually next to what looked to be an apartment building. Nice local grocery store with a nice variety of food products. Pleasantly surprised with the quality and quantity of food in the store although I did feel a bit claustrophobic.. 3) Service: There is a full service Jewish deli located in the back. It was quiet when we arrived but the employees were very nice and I was not pressured to place my order right away. After we sat down we got our order in less then 5 minutes 3.) Food: Huge Sandwich board with a variety of your standard sandwiches and salads as well as a couple of specialty gourmet sandwiches. Meat is cut fresh to order. I read some reviews about the quality of their bread (which is what drew me to this store) as I was craving a hoagie roll. They delivered - although it was a French baguette it was awesome with just the right amount of bite I got a hot turkey sandwich with swiss(yeah!) lettuce, tomato, onions (extra) and sweet peppers with spicy brown mustard. The husband got a hot roast beef, Swiss, onion, lettuce, tomato. Be warned. They do not have a sandwich press nor an oven so our sandwiches were warmed in I think a microwave but it did not do any damage to the sandwich. There is something about the combination of quality bread and meat that at its core makes or breaks a sandwich and Kennedy Food Garden has got that down pat. Price was also very reasonable - paid about $7 for each of our sandwiches. We were contemplating getting a side salad from the deli case but were glad we didn't, we were stuffed once we finished our sandwiches. 4.) Extra Info: *Once you place your order you move to the back of the store where there are about 20 tables. Food is brought to you once ready. *There are televisions and we were able to watch some Sunday football while we ate *Once your order is brought to you, they hand you your bill and you pay at the cashier on the way out. *Open on Sunday's is a plus 5.) Impressions: Based on where Kennedy Food Garden is located I can bet they are pretty busy during the work week but I have no doubt that they handle themselves with the same level of service during the week that we experienced this past Sunday. In a nut shell quality food, fresh ingredients, quick service. Definitely a place to go back to the next time we are in Philadelphia

I am very thankful to Kennedy Food Garden for being there over the years. Rebecca at the front counter and the deli guys are friendly and service oriented. The shrimp salad is still a fave as well as the kasha and potato knishes. I can get milk, juice and sliced fruits and veggies here in a pinch. They are my winter savior!
