Chicago Reviews of Ben’s Fast Food
“Okay I have been SLEEPING on this place but never again because Ben’s Fast Food is going to be in permanent rotation for me and here is why: 1. It’s fresh 2. Big portions 3. Realistically priced 4. Fast (like its name) but healthy BALANCED meals Bonus: They hand wrote a thank you with my name spelled right on the box 🥹 (it’s the little things sometimes) There are so many BS "healthy” food spots in the city but they charge you an arm and a leg for like 3 vegetables and then put a bunch of crap into the dressing and you walk away hungry and with a dent in your wallet. So happy to see a place break the pattern and do things the right way. THANK YOU”
“Wow! This is the tastiest most juicy chicken I've ever had. I chose a lemon thyme sauce and it is light and packs so much flavor. The perfect addition to my bowl. The smoothie is so refreshing and the pudding is delectable. An entirely guilt free meal at such an affordable price!”
“I never leave food reviews but I ran here to write one after receiving my order. Wow, just WOW! Not only is the food delicious but you can't beat the price and portion size. As someone with food restrictions, it feels impossible to find quick options that are both filling and wont break the bank. Everything about the Chicken Mixed Bowl and Green Smoothie was delicious. Very excited to have Ben's fast food in Chicago!”
“I’ve never written a review on here, and I thought the number of reviews was obviously due to a bunch of bots but holy moly this is good food. The prices are absolutely unbeatable, the portions are huge, the food tastes super fresh and healthy and the sauces are so wonderfully flavorful! Super fast delivery, really wholesome food, the chickpea and potato mixed bowl was absolutely phenomenal. Definitely getting food from here again!!”
“Ordered the chicken mixed and hearty bowl for the first time and I'm absoluely blown away. The price is noticeably cheaper than most other places in Chicago and the bowls were super filling and DELICIOUS. Every time I door dash something it's an unhealthy cheat meal but the ingredients are so healthy and I feel great after eating it. This is coming from a guy who avoids vegetables like the plague and never leaves reviews. I was so blown away by this product that I had to give credit to this place. Well done Ben's Fast Food you've found a new regular.”
“I order this 1-2x a week at this point! They use such fresh ingredients, absolutely packed with vegetables and really delicious tender protein (tried both chicken and pork). It’s my go to healthy lunch now, and the prices are so honest. I absolutely love this place and am so grateful for it!”
“Finally, takeout that makes me feel good! Other “health food” places lean way too hard on salt/fat/sugar, but not so here. This is food exactly like I’d make it for myself at home: simple, nutritious, and tasty. Thrilled to have this in town!”
“Scarfed it down before i could take any photos, but it was absolutely delicious!! Healthy, great portions for the price and the homemade sauces are killer!!!! 10/10 would recommend. Please keep doing whatever you guys are doing!!!!”
“Ben's Fast Food is a 10/10, this food is fresh and fast! I ordered on Uber Eats and the food arrived very quickly. The food was delicious and the portion sizes were large- I have enough for dinner and lunch tomorrow. Highly recommend this spot! Will definitely be ordering again! Thank you!”
