Really wanted to have a good burger. I've been digging around Oakland looking, was hoping Ben's would be the answer, sadly it wasn't. Menu is a very confusing, they're really not sure what they want to be. Ordered the burger melt on sourdough, couldn't believe how paper thin the burger patties were (see pics), it was a joke. The lettuce was thicker than the meat, seriously???. Owner doesn't care to run a well put together operation, there's no thought or design scheme with the building, furniture and decor, it's just haphazardly thrown together. Name on the receipt is different from the name on the sign, there's just a very weird vibe here. It's also dirty with trash everywhere. If they had good food you could overlook the lack of ambiance, but the mediocre food coupled with a run down overall feeling means I'm not coming back and I'm moving on in my search for a good burger in Oakland. Ben's is dirty, cheap, very poor value...

I used to come here alot as a teenager into my 20's. young Then I relocated to Florida for 20 years .

The milkshake was one of the best I've had. The burger tasted great and the fries were fries. I will try the chilli cheese fries next time and I'm going to get the cookies and cream milkshake every time I go if it's always that good. My next trip will be for a double cheese burger with bacon though. The cheese burger with bacon was really good by itself.
All in all, I'm contemplating making it a regular stop for atleast the milkshake and maybe burger if I'm coming from south bay on my way home from work...
