I have recently been traveling to the Bay area, and as a CT native, Rob Ben 's is a place that can make anybody feel at home. I 've had the pleasure of dining there twice and it went from great to greater. I had completely different meals each time and both delicious. The place is always clean and organized, and the staff is warm and welcoming. I 've even had the pleasure of meeting Miss Kecia, Shawny and Lil Shawny, who as family team up to make Rob Ben 's the best experience ever. The cocktails are unique, perfectly mixed, and never watered down. The service comes with not just a smile but warm greetings and quick response. The food is so flavorful and the portions are enough to give you t...
It took a while to place my order since it was quite busy, but the customer service was incredibly warm and inviting—it felt like chatting with an auntie or cousin. I genuinely appreciate all of you! I didn’t realize this was Marshawn's place until I saw him on Shannon Sharpe's podcast the night before. I thought to myself, “Wow, I’m performing there tomorrow!”
It was a wonderful experience, and I’m excited to support this place again, whether I’m performing or just dining in. Thank you so much!

I had a fantastic dining experience at this restaurant. The food was simply outstanding, earning a perfect five-star rating. The service was equally impressive, with attentive staff who ensured we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect setting for a lovely dinner. I highly recommend trying the Shrimp and Grits – it's a standout dish that you won’t want to miss!
Came here after struggling to find a brunch spot on Sunday and boy am I glad I came to Rob Bens. I got the garlic shrimp and grits and it was delicious. My boyfriend got the smothered oxtails and rice with Mac and cheese and yams as his side and they were amazing! Definitely will need a nap after this meal but it didn’t feel greasy or unnecessarily heavy. The best part of our experience was the service. Both our server and the chef checked on us and made sure we didn’t have to ask for anything. Courteous funny and amazing at anticipating your needs. Definitely recommend and will be back!

The food is consistently fantastic! Dave, the bartender, crafts amazing drinks and always brings a sense of humor to the experience. I opted for takeout for dinner, and the prices are very reasonable, ranging from $10 to $20 per person. I highly recommend the Chicken and Fish Combo, Shrimp and Grits, Breakfast Potatoes, Pork Chop Sandwich with Fries, West Oakland, Biscuits and Gravy, Cornbread, Skittles, Chicken Wings with Red Beans and Rice, along with some Jumbo Shrimp. Don’t miss out on the Fish, Fish Burger, 6 Wings, Fish and Grits, Fried Shrimp, Wings, Potato Salad, and Red Beans.

Additionally, the attention to detail was lacking. The food quality was very poor, and I was concerned about the unsanitary ingredients used, some of which were not listed on the menu. For instance, the cornbread had unexpected peppers in it, and the shrimp appeared unclean.
Overall, I will not be returning to this establishment.
Good, hospitable service and great food. My church member went there Saturday after a meeting. I had the steak and gravy. I'm going back soon to try other menu items. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30
