6 reviews for Kennedy Food Garden
Unlike the other reviewers, I've never eaten at Kennedy's deli/restaurant side. I live a block away, and Kennedy is my primary grocery/convenience store. The cold cuts are great and inexpensive, and all of their other products are reasonably well priced (everything is cheaper than at 7-11).
The fifth star is missing due to the lack of non-cold cut meat, like ground beef, which I need to trek to Trader Joe's for. They also don't have any shredded cheese. Other than that, they've had every food product I've needed thus far while living in the city.
OK so I am still a fan of their salads. HOWEVER, the past few times I have ordered from here the prices changed...substantially, and not by a mere 50 cents but more like a few dollars!
It's like they just pick a random amount to charge you. One day my salad was almost $7 and the next time it was almost $10 and then it will go back down again...Makes no sense to me.

I could live on their salads for days. Literally that is how big they are. Very fresh ingredients… Read more »
I miss working right next to this place, especially when lunch time rolls around. Yeah not too much too look at, but the food is pretty darn yummy. That's right I said darn, do people say that anymore?
Anyway I digress, I loved coming in here ordering a wonderful sandwich and then picking up one of those yummy yummy date bars they sell at the counter for 50 cents. What do they put in those I wonder?
They also sell groceries, simple stuff cereal, soups, cheese, yogurt etc etc. Pretty convenient location as well.
No atmosphere - but pretty decent grub - 3.5 stars really, but I feel generous and will give them 4. The atmosphere is about a 2.
I love the Kasha Knishes here - warmed up they taste almost like the ones I'd get out in Brooklyn. They also make a good shrimp salad and it's always fresh. They have a high turnover in the deli case - which keeps the cold cuts fresh.
Very nice people working there, too.
Oh - and it's very inexpensive to eat here - or pick up some groceries and take out foods if you don't feel like cooking.
I am glad they exist - higher prices and all (for groceries) because the convience factor is a big plus - especially in inclement weather.
Without Kennedy and Whole Foods - we'd be sunk.
One of the few places in the city where you can get a decent lunch for around 5 bucks. The sandwiches are packed with meat and rotisserie chicken platters have sides such as mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, brown rice, steamed veggies and soup to choose from.
It gets a little crowded between 12 and 2pm due to all the suits taking their lunches at precisely the same time, so if you plan on going, prepare for a free-for-all in lieu of an organized line at the deli counter.
I am not opposed to giving a blue-haired old lady a kung-fu chop if it means getting some Kennedy.
We call this place the Kennedy Deli. Its basically half grocery store/ half restaurant. I've never bought anything at the grocery portion of the store but they do have a wide selection of stuff, raging from produce to laundry detergent. I guess its mostly meant for all the elderly people that live in the building.
OK, onto the grub. This place serves big food. Big in terms of portions. Order a sub and you'll eat half immediately and then have the other half for your next meal or better yet, split it with a friend. Even the wraps are gigantic at this place. They have your normal selection of hoagies, grinders, wraps and salads like every other deli in Philly, but one of my favorite things to get there are the Knishes. To those of you who do not know the utter satisfaction that radiates from these little bundles of joy, I truly feel sorry for you. Wiki that shit and start living.
The Kennedy Deli has like 5 or 6 different kinds of Knishes, for real, we're talking meat filled ones, broccoli, potato, cheese and broccoli, and spinach just to name a few.
For real, this is how i do, split a sandwich with a friend and each of you, get a knish and start living.
(and yes, i truly mean what I'm saying)
if you've never eaten a knish, then have one at Kennedy and start living
