Since I ordered delivery, I can't speak to the ambiance or in-person service, but I can definitely share thoughts on the food. Food: For healthy food, this is a solid 5/5. I ordered the Chicken Hearty Bowl with lemon thyme sauce and it was really satisfying, flavorful, and felt like a nutritious meal that didn't sacrifice taste. The portion size was great and everything tasted fresh. It's surprising that something healthy can taste this good! I also got the green smoothie, which I'd rate 4/5. It was refreshing and good, just not quite as standout as the bowl. I like that there is no added sugar. Food was prepared quickly and arrived in a timely manner. Can't comment on service since this was through delivery, but overall a great option if you're looking for something healthy that still tastes good. read more

Ben's Fast Food - Chicken Hearty Bowl - American Near Me - Sacramento, California

Ordered a mixed greens and chicken bowl. It was super delicious and incredibly healthy. It had a lot of vegetables salad, cucumbers, and chicken I had a wish there was a bit more chicken, but overall, it was incredibly delicious. You can either order on Uber eats or for pick up you can order any food site as well. There is no dining. You just go up to the counter. If you are doing pick up you usually get a code and your code will open up a little locker and your food will be waiting for you there. It was made super fast too. I believe from me putting in the order to be done. It was only about 12 minutes, which I think it's pretty quick. Overall, I had a great experience. I will definitely be ordering from here again. This place is very healthy has incredible options and I would highly recommend. read more

I've been looking for a place like this in Sacramento for years. I'm so glad that I found Ben's fast food. I ordered the chicken garden bowl and the green smoothie. 10000/10. It's so hard to find actual health food these days at restaurants that aren't full of hidden seed oils and refined sugars. The homemade dressing and the fact that they make their own coconut milk in house is just the cherry on top. I will be a frequent customer of this outstanding establishment. I also love the fact that you can just grab your food right out of the locker. No human contact necessary. Thank you Ben's! read more

I tapped on the "healthy" tab of the DoorDash app at 9:45pm expecting nothing to be open. To my surprise, this restaurant continued taking orders. Ben's Fast Food is out here fulfilling a niche that most healthy eats would never bother taking on, and they're doing it well. Their nutritious ingredients and thoughtful recipes look incredibly appealing as a late night option. Their chicken mixed bowl has all the right stuff in it -- fiber, protein, complex carbs, and all the other healthy buzzwords. I enjoyed all of the ingredients, though the chicken tasted a little plain. Their dark chocolate cashew pudding is also quite the treat! I highly recommend it as a dessert. I'm moving to Sacramento in a month. Something tells me that I'll be visiting this place again soon. read more

I order from this place at least 2x a week. Healthy and delicious. Honestly, If I could get meal prep from here, I'd do it. You can tell the guy making the food actually cares about what he is serving. Do yourself a favor, stop paying $15-20 for Mcdonalds for lunch. Your body will thank you. Good stuff. read more

The food didn't taste like anything and the sauces were really really bad I'm shocked this is a franchise and shocked they have many locations I will never come back and eating this! Waste of my $30 even Chipotle is way better than this place .... Sauces watery and nasty Ranch smelled Chipotle was watery Veggies are frozen from wholesaler I cannot believe people actually like this read more

Ben's Fast Food - This was disgusting 2oz of meat? Wow giving this to my dogs - American Near Me - Sacramento, California

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. We were looking for a late night snack but wanted a healthier option. This place is amazing. I got the chicken mixed bowl with the lemon thyme sauce. The chicken is roasted to perfection and super juicy. All the ingredients are fresh--- greens & grains, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, roasted sunflower seeds, and cucumber. AND--- it is gluten, soy, dairy free, and no refined sugar. We have had it delivered twice and hadn't disappointed. Try it, you won't regret it. read more

Ben's Fast Food - Chicken Mixed Bowl - American Near Me - Sacramento, California

Awesome food! To find such healthy food in this area of sac is amazing! They only offer online ordering. There is no place to sit, which is fine because the area is near a large homeless encampment. Don't be afraid, there are police constantly patrolling this site. read more

It was 10pm on a Sunday and I had zero hope that a "healthy" restaurant was open so i can order a small meal before bed and have a meal ready for the next day since I didn't have time to meal prep. Then I found Ben's, in downtown? Open till 11pm? On a Sunday?!! Reviews, photos and PRICE of the food convinced me. I ordered a chicken & pork bowl and all I have to say.. I'll be a frequent customer!! It has all the macros needed, and it's delicious! read more

Ben's is the bomb! We ordered two meals each from there and are set for the next day. It's all whole food, meaning no processed food with healthy grains, like brown rice and millet, lightly steamed vegetables, and delicious meats. The other thing I like about it is that I have a couple friends who are celiac and dairy free and Benn is gluten and dairy free. There's also no refined sugar. I want to eat healthy like this and eat delicious food but I don't often have the time to prepare so I end up eating less healthy food at restaurants. I'll definitely be going to Ben's in the future. The price point is Perfect, the food is nutritious and delicious, and all around this is my ideal cuisine. I'll add that a lot of places have been closing down lately because in changes in supply chain. So glad Ben's is now here and that it is also so close to my work. read more

Found this spot on Yelp and close to my work. Win! Win! Healthy option too! I have tried the chicken mixed bowl w grains, and the chix salad bowl. I enjoyed both! Filling too! Chicken flavor is tasty! Sorry I will upload photos next time! I also get the pudding which is pretty good. I wish it wasn't packed in the same bag as my food when delivered! lol The food is warm and it kind of melts the pudding. But still tastes fine. They have door dash on their website so super easy to order and it is delivered in just the right amount of time! Not a long wait at all! Texts when ordered, when on Way, etc. Super helpful when at work. I liked the lemon dressing but the 2nd time around it was a little different. More thick. Like a mousse. The balsamic dressing was not good at all! It had an odd smell and taste!! It too was more like a mousse dressing. Not sure why!?? Should be more like a liquid dressing! Not sure what's making it mousse-like.... But don't really need the dressing or make your own! I Tried the green smoothie today. It was decent. It too was packed in with the warm food and it's hot outside so arrived more liquid than smoothie. Refreshing and decent enough. It's my spot for now! When at work! read more

Ordered to go. Too much rice with very little meat. I'm not sure I would order here again read more

Ben's Fast Food - Chicken hearty bowl - American Near Me - Sacramento, California

The best healthy food spot in the city! Can't beat the prices, amazing taste the portions are amazing and it fills you up! Can hit all the important macros in one meal without all the prep! Must try if you are looking for new healthy food spots! I will be coming back again and again! read more

Very impressed! First time ordering from here and the food was very fresh I'm a gym girl so I need my calories, the portions are very good ! Lots of rice and good amount of veggies and protein Was prepared really quick as well , they wrote me a note which I thought was sweet thank you ! read more

Affordable, healthy and tasty!! Do not sleep on this place!! *Ordered through DoorDash* Bowls: -They claim that everything is gluten, soy, dairy free and zero refined sugar! -Since I had ordered from DoorDash, I was a little confused with the structure until I went on their website and saw how it was broken down. -You get to choose how you want your bowl to be constructed with a base, choice of meat and signature sauce (can also order meats, veggies and sauces extra on the side as well) -All bowls comes with: "juicy slow roasted chicken, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, roasted sunflower seeds, pickled red onions, fresh cucumber, parsley garnish" -Everything blended together perfectly Choices of Bases: a) Hearty Bowl: base of millet & rice b) Garden Bowl: base of fresh spring mix c) Mixed Bowl: base of greens & grains Bowls that I tried: 1) Chicken mixed bowl 2) Shredded Pork mixed bowl 3) Wagyu mixed bowl -I went with the mixed bowl so I could get to try everything. The rice and veggies, were cooked to perfection. The veggies were chopped to tinny pieces (almost rice like), perfectly salted and still had a little crunch to it. -For the most part, all the meats I tried were juicy, though the chicken meat was more on the dry side compared to the pork and Wagyu (Wagyu being the most juicy). -Although the wagyu one was packed with flavor and very tasty, it was definitely different having wagyu shredded. I would prefer it as a normal steak strips. The wagyu is also almost double the price than the chicken and pork, but they did give a lot more in portion which I was glad since the pit fall of the chicken and pork was that they give less meat comparatively. -Regardless of the meat portion (wish they could have added just a little bit more), it was still decent in size where I had left overs since they packed it with the veggies and rice. Sides: CLEAN VEGETABLES -This is pretty much the veggies in the bowls, however, I got it as a side as well to feed to my kids. -Again, I love how it was chopped up into small pieces, which hid the fact the it was vegetable and the flavor was so good on its own that my kids couldn't tell it was veggies. -It also taste good when you add the sauces to it. SLOW ROASTED CHICKPEAS & POTATOES -melts in your mouth, I didn't expect it to be so flavorful! -it was just slightly on the saltier side than I would like, but it made chickpeas taste delicious Sauces I tried: LEMON THYME: lemony, herbal, zesty -Loved this sauce, probably my favorite of the 3 sauces I tried. It definitely has a zesty taste to it. ROSEMARY BALSAMIC: earthy, tangy, sweet -very flavorful and more on the sweet side, it didn't have that sourness vinegar that I was expecting SMOKY CHIPOTLE: smoky, spicy -Was not spicy at all and the least flavor in my opinion DARK CHOCOLATE CASHEW PUDDING: sweetened with whole dates only, topped with decaf espresso and sea salt -Was a bit disappointed in this one. -it was definitely rich in the chocolate flavor and surprisingly strong espresso taste, but not as sweet as I would have liked -It was also small in size like the size of the sauces or just a tiny bit bigger, so very very small amount -if you are a fan of unsweetened dark chocolate then you may like this. Although I do like dark chocolate, this was just a bit too bitter for me, Overall: -Definitely great value for the taste, cost and amount of food you got. -Would highly recommend this place and can't wait to order again! read more

Took over an hour to prepare my simple meal for a pick up order with no information there was a delay

I love snake river wagyu, I used to get their ground beef when I was in Orange County so when I saw that name, I just got to order it on DD. The beef was so tender and had that nutty deep flavor, so delicious and I got that with chipotle sauce but tonight I'm gonna order the same wagyu beef bowl with lemon thyme sauce. I also ordered cashew pudding but it wasn't as yummy as I expected, maybe because it wasn't cold, it was warm. read more

My husband and I ordered the slow roasted chicken, waygu, and pork shoulder bowls. They were really tasty and full of flavor. We couldn't stop eating them! Menu: They have 3 different options for bowls and many options for proteins and sauces. Personally, we think the thyme lime sauce is amazing. They have a green smoothie, which we did try. It's a great, fresh smoothy with banana, spinach, and pineapple. Didn't taste like it was pumped with sugar, which we loved. I hope they add more to the menu. I can see them adding an all green or cucumber lime smoothie. For dessert, they have a chocolate pudding. We did not try this, but it looks really good. Pickup: The order was ready by the time we arrived at the building. We parked in what looked like a back parking alley. There were a lot of cars and we entered a small door. We were surprised to find a food delivery pick-up locker and check-in/waiting area. Note: we tried checking in with our name, but you're actually supposed to use your order number. Food was packed in a paper bag with our boxes and our drink. Price: For the great tasty food, I think it's in line with the economy. The portions look small, but depending on what you order, you will fill up quickly. Dare I say that you will overeat because it's so good. We will definitely be picking up here again. It fits our micronutrient goals, and we know that all the food is diary free and will fit most diets. read more

This is pick up from an industrial park. Very creepy. Your order is in a locked cabinet ( like POB) and then you press the button on your phone to open it. read more

Let me just say this! I ordered from here twice in one day! I was trying to find something healthy!! So I ordered! It's so good, flavorful and affordable and everything is so pretty I got the roasted chickpea/potato garden bowl w/ lemon thyme dressing with the hot sauce (so good), green smoothie and chocolate pudding. and then I ordered it again. read more

Very fresh super good will be ordering from them a lot more ! Great option if you are looking for something healthy and the food is very well priced. read more

Not only was the food absolutely delicious, it was comforting, and satisfying especially with different textures and tastes coming from the crunch of the cucumber, tangy and crunch from the pickled onions, warm tender pork shoulder...ALL THE THINGS! I am so grateful that Ben's Fast Food offers such beautiful and nutritious meals at affordable prices! I really hope they expand and open more locations because we need more options like this. Thank you Ben's Fast Food read more

Oh my!! Our food was DELICIOUS! I searched on Yelp for "healthy restaurants ", and Ben's came up. We feel so lucky to have found this place. It's everything we hoped for! I got the chickpea and potato, adding chicken. Hubby got the chicken mixed bowl, adding avocado. It was all so fresh and chicken was excellent Both were so filling in a good way. Ranch sauce was very tasty. We will definitely be back. Location is off of 16th street and North c street in a building that has several commercial kitchens, it's a take out place. Try it, your taste buds will love it! read more

Food is fantastic, and it's my go-to place when I crave something healthy and quick. I highly recommend this establishment if you're seeking a delicious meal without the use of processed ingredients. I'll definitely be returning! read more

Please sell the chicken in the stores! It is s flavorful. I am inspired to make this at home ONLY Because I cant afford to buy it daily, or I would! I am trying to loose weight and its so hard finding food that I can eat. Thank you so much for making amazing food with flava! The food looked amazing in the box and smelled great. I ordered the chicken and veggies on doordash, but it came with Rice, sadly someone messed up my order, but I ate around the rice and still enjoyed it. read more

They were extremely nice! Gave me a pudding and drink to try! Food was great, definitely going back

Best food to doordash hands down! Fresher than most options and good on my macros. Great portions and great taste. Just wish they were open later but that's just me being selfish read more

Ordered from Ben's Fast Food on Doordash and later found out they're literally a door or two down from my old job! How funny! The food was very good - delicious, fresh, healthy, filling, and fast! Very happy with it. read more

Maybe third time is a charm because the third time I tried to order from here it was available. The food was amazing! I'm so glad I was finally able to try it. It was everything I was hoping it would be. I'm definitely going to be coming back again this week. read more

Ben's Fast Food has a great mission to provide healthy fast food and while it's a step in the right direction, the recipes need some improvement. We ordered the chicken mixed bowl, a wagyu beef mixed bowl, extra sauce on the side, and a side of potatoes with chickpeas. The wagyu beef (which was shredded) was stringy, dry, and flavorless. At a price point of $24 for the bowl, it was a real disappointment. The mixed chicken bowl with vegan chipotle ranch was pretty good. The chicken (also shredded) wasn't very flavorful but it was juicy and tender. The chipotle ranch was tasty but the amount provided covered less than half of the bowl. Definitely order an extra side of the chipotle sauce! The rice and veggies in both mixed bowls were good. The bowls are a large size portion of food. The chickpeas and potatoes seemed to have been cooked down in veggies broth and the chickpeas were a nice, soft texture, but the flavor wasn't very appetizing. It was overly salty and one-dimensional. Also, the pickup spot is a contactless locker situation shared by more than one restaurant, it seems. While it's a forward-thinking business model, it's in a very rough neighborhood (just off 16th) and I would only feel comfortable picking up food during the day time. read more

This was my second time ordering from Ben's! The first time I got the chicken hearty bowl ans it was so filling! This time I ordered the grain and protein bowl with the chick peas and potatoes which was also really good! I really enjoyed the chipotle sauce! Only thing is I wish the protein portions were a tad larger, but for the price I really cannot complain. I'm happy that I can order an affordable and healthy lunch when I don't have time to prep at home for work. read more

Got the wagyu beef bowl and it was phenomenal. Definitely going to be a frequent customer from here on out!

I have only ever ordered from DoorDash, but it has always been excellent and so consistently great! The portions are really good and the flavor is fantastic. read more

Ben's is super dope! Great, fast, and affordable healthy bowls that are delicious! We got the half n half bowl with greens and grains and doubled up on the melty pork shoulder. The chicken is tasty too, but the pork is my fave. If you're vegging out you can get the garbanzos and potatoes that are actually a really tasty option. The sauces make the bowls tho. Plant based chipotle, balsamic and lemon thyme are my go tos and the hot sauce is awesome too. If you want something quick that actually tastes good and isn't going to do too much damage to the wallet I'd definitely check this "fast food" out! We door dash Ben's regularly on weeknights now when we don't have time to cook, but want whole, healthy food and not expensive junk. So glad we have this as an option in Sacramento now. read more

I have only ordered from here through DoorDash but wow I am impressed. The food is healthy and tastes good. It is so difficult for me to get my veggies in and this place is so helpful. All the sauces are lifesavers, especially the hot sauce, in making everything taste even better. I am so grateful for this place. And another plus, love that there are tasty veggie options too! The only thing that bothers me is that there is never enough chicken. I feel like they are a little stingy with that and it would be nice if we could get more with each bowl. read more

I ordered a chicken mixed bowl for lunch today. This is my first time ordering, and I am very happy with my food! The chicken is SO flavorful, and the veggies are prepared perfectly. It's a great clean meal, and I feel great!! I don't live near, but I will be ordering at work again!! read more

I have been waiting for a Ben's to arrive in the Sacramento Area for almost two years. The food is AMAZING and Healthy. My favorite is the Mixed Chicken Bowl with the vegan ranch, it will never disappoint. This is my daughters favorite place for takeout as well. We all know how the little ones can be pick eaters, especially with veggies. I promise you, you can not go wrong. Thank you for coming to Sacramento!!! read more

So nice to have this healthful dining option delivered to my door! Everything from Ben's Fast Food tasted fresh and flavorful. We added a couple extra meals for tomorrow, and a few freezable items for a night later on when we don't have time to cook. It would be helpful to have an option to sub 1/2 of the grains with veggies to make the meal more diet-friendly. Other than that, the portions felt right. It would also be helpful to have nutritional info for each menu item. Update: found nutritional info on the website! I'm surprised by how low-cal the meals are considering the volume. Loved how allergy-friendly this was for me! We enjoyed Ben's Fast Food (and it was fast!) and will order again! read more

I ordered the Chickpea and Potato Garden bowl and it was SO delicious with the hot sauce and lemon thyme sauce. Yummy veggies, crunchy seeds, amazing sauces. Only wish there were more chickpeas or that they had other vegan protein options, but otherwise so, so good and didn't feel like crap eating it. read more
