Why Keto Eaters Feel Seen at Ben’s
Eating keto can feel like a chore at most fast food joints. Hidden sugars, carb-loaded sides, mystery sauces. But here? You don’t have to decode the menu. Many of our bowls are built from the ground up to be nutrient-dense, low in carbs, and high in flavor.
Whether you're picking up lunch or ordering a late-night delivery, our bowls are designed to travel well, stay fresh, and hit your macros. Fast takeout and delivery shouldn’t mean compromising your diet—and at Ben’s Fast Food, it doesn’t.
From day one, our mission has been about making healthy food as delicious and affordable as possible. That’s why we slow-roast our proteins in-house—no added fillers, breading, or unnecessary extras. Just meat, seasonings, heat, and time. We craft all our sauces without added sugar, and build bowls that are satisfying without spiking your blood sugar. Whether you're strict keto, low-carb curious, or just trying to avoid the 3 p.m. energy cliff, you’re in good hands.
How Ben’s Fast Food Prioritizes Keto with Purpose
We didn’t set out to be “a keto restaurant.” We just made food that makes sense. That means:
High-quality proteins: Slow-roasted chicken, pork, and Wagyu beef—no breading, no fillers. Just meat, seasonings, and gentle heat for a long, long time.
Plant-forward, low-carb bases: Our Garden Bowls skip the grains and load up on leafy greens and fresh veg.
Scratch-made sauces: No added sugars. Ever. Fan favorites like Lemon Thyme and Smoky Chipotle are keto-safe and full of flavor with 2g of net carbs each.
Macro clarity: All our Garden Bowls have 10g net carbs (without sauce). Sauces range from 2–4g net carbs. Our chicken and pork sides contain 1g net carb per serving. If you’re feeling the heat, our hot sauce has 1g net carb.
Customizable builds: Want to go full carnivore? You can. Add avocado or walnuts? Easy.
