Boston Reviews of Ben’s Fast Food
“This is the best new restaurant I've tried since moving back to boston! The quality, quantity, price, adherence to allergens, are all unmatched!! Love this place and will be ordering again. Thank you for the dairy free options!!”
“Not only was this Wagyu Beef Hearty Bowl absolutely *delicious*, it was 2.5 servings (!!) of delicious! The beef was tender, succulent, hot, and perfectly-seasoned. The grains were nicely lightly seasoned, as well, and the pickled onions compliment perfectly with crunch and acidity. Can't wait to order again!”
“The Chicken Mixed Bowl & Chicken Hearty Bowl was delicious. I was super full and I didn't even finish. Everything was so fresh and crisp, I did a little dance with each bite. I also got the Dark Chocolate Cashew Pudding. I finished half of it bc you really can't have just one bite. I need 5 before I remember this is dessert. New go-to now since I am changing my eating habits. Affordable, delicious and new long time customer earned. WIN-WIN!”
“I moved from CA to Boston last year, and Ben's Fast Food was the main food from CA I truly missed. BFF was my go to meal for lunch at work, after a workout, or for dinner in CA. I'm so happy it's finally in Boston, and it tastes even better than I remember. Our office in SF loved BFF, and my coworkers in Boston are already in love with it. This is so much better than any other Boston takeout option. Nothing beats their amazing chicken, and the wagyu is incredible. Get the extra side of chicken - it's a really generous portion. The lemon thyme, chipotle, white lotus, and hot sauce are my absolute favorites.”
“Took a chance based on reviews and Im not disappointed. The Lemon whatever dressing is good and to my surprise enough for the whole bowl. If you like a lot of extra dressing get an additional one. The (V) Chickpea & Potato Mixed Bowl is way more than I thought and I probably won't finish it in one setting. I cant say enough that I appreciate eating something simple clean and filling for the price that it is. Thanks”
“Food is fantastic! Highly recommend!!! Love the wavy garden bowl and the chicken hearty bowl! Food is fresh and flavors are excellent!”
“I was looking for a late night healthy option on Uber Eats and I think I found a gem! So good. I order the Wagyu Beef Hearty Bowl and it didn’t disappoint! Definitely will explore the rest of the menu.”
“Ben’s Fast food was very delicious and healthy. I really enjoyed my experience with this place. Strongly recommend giving Ben’s a try.”
“actually clean and healthy fast food! so glad ben’s made it to boston. generous portions and delicious.”
