Ben's Fast Food — Restaurant in Denver

After yoga at Movement, I was in search of a fast, healthy lunch. Ben’s looked like an affordable option on the way to my next stop, so I decided to give it a try. The concept of ordering from your phone or the kiosk and receiving your order through a locker in minutes is fantastic, especially if you’re in a hurry and/or don’t want to socialize with waitstaff. The menu is chock full of clean ingredients and has detailed descriptions, allowing for a quick and informed decision.

I had the chicken mixed bowl (half grains; half greens) with smoky chipotle sauce (requested to omit the pickled onions). The chicken was super tender and flavorful without being overpowering, the grains were cooked perfectly, and there was a decent amount of leafy greens, although I wish where was more spinach. The chipotle sauce was similar to a chipotle crema without being overly heavy. The generous portion left me satisfied and energized. I’m a big fan of meals that make my body feel good. Fried and overly seasoned foods never sit well with me, so Ben’s was a welcome find!

HOW TO ORDER Place your order via your phone or on the kiosk inside the waiting area. You’ll receive a text after placing your order and also when it’s ready. Use the smaller touchscreen near the lockers to magically retrieve your order! Be sure to request silverware in your order—silverware isn’t available in the...

I am in Denver for a weekend trip and I found Ben's through DoorDash. Being someone with a potato allergy on top of having celiac disease, it is nearly impossible to find an affordable meal that is not home cooked. I ordered the Chicken Hearty Bowl with a Green Smoothie and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of food for the price point. When I opened the box I thought the portion size of the chicken seemed small but after eating half of the meal, I felt very nourished (probably because I was eating real nutritious food.) The chicken was perfectly tender and the lemon thyme sauce had an amazing flavor. This was the first time in years I have been able to eat a satisfying meal under $20 with my dietary restrictions. I have never once felt called to write a food review, but this experience brought me a lot of hope for a food industry that has always been extremely difficult for me to navigate while still being affordable with my allergies. I just wanted to get on here and show my support because it is rare to stumble across a restaurant that I feel is whole heartedly interested in their customers well being both nutritionally and financially. I am excited to see this...

Update… just can’t stop wanting to eat here. Top notch food. The system is modern and hard to get used to especially for first timers, but eventually I figured it out. Also The parking is odd, and the location is industrial. But it’s always paycheck because the food is so good.

Old letter- THE FOOD IS PHENOMENAL! I’m not lying it’s so good and crispy, choppy, and clean. No doubt the food taste is phenomenal, the quality is obviously scrumptious, and food healthy.

My only issue is for my second time being there I have struggled getting the food. It’s all automated, no humans. It sends me six texts messages, x3 from two different numbers. And you need a QR code to get your food locker unlocked. Then the human service is 2/5 sub par because they’re irritated you don’t comprehend the six different links they sent you. And there is no service in the building so after 6 links, I cannot find the order QR code. The door dash guys were all confused too. But they’re open late!

But they are on to something! I’ll update this next time I’m there because the food...
