Oakland Reviews of Ben’s Fast Food
“Finding this place will be a GAME CHANGER! The struggle to find healthy and DELICIOUS food late night is unreal and at times extremely annoying. Look no further, found this location on Yelp and it seemed too good to be true, will it really look and taste as good as the pictures? The reviews said yes and they did not lie! The greens were crisp, the potatoes were full of flavor and sadly I finished mine before I could even add the dressing, which within itself was amazing! The ordering process could not have been easier, the wait time was expeditious (literally under 10 minutes), pick up was seamless and they even wrote a thank you note with my name on the box. This place is open until midnight and for a pregnant lady like myself this will now be my go to place.”
“Ben’s is amazing. Delicious, always fresh, always quick, super affordable. I’ve never had a spot ‘plate’ their food so consistently and with such wow factor as these to go boxes always are. Well done, Ben’s. I can’t wait to eat up the whole menu.”
“This place is my FAVORITE place to order from when I want something filling and healthy feeling but not super heavy like pizza or noodles. The combo plate that is half salad, half carb is perfect for me. And the toppings and sauces are all so yummy. I also love the fact that I can order extra protein as a side.”
“Delicious, filling, incredibly healthy, and somehow still affordable. Can’t recommend this joint highly enough. Feels like pure California food magic.”
“Healthy and delicious! The chicken garden bowl was a perfect balance. Parking is not the best but worth the trouble.”
“This is the reason why I come to my office twice week. This is a wonderful and heal treat. Oakland is lucky to have BEN's!!!”
“I just discovered this GEM 💎✨ I was looking for a salad around Fruitvale and Ben’s Fast Food popped up in my search, it almost seemed too good to be true: healthy, balanced, fresh food and affordable??!!”
“Great simple wholesome delicious clean food every time! You can tell this stuff is fresh and scratch made and a way better option than what's out there.”
“The Chicken Hearty Bowl is my go-to order—consistently delicious, healthy, and satisfying. Perfect portion and packed with flavor. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a nutritious and tasty option!”
