I would say this place is definitely more for meat eaters than vegetarian or vegan lifestyle. They didn’t have Impossible burgers (although on the menu) so I or...

They gave me meat at first and then reassured me it was the beyond burger when it wasn’t. I don’t think they knew what I meant by the beyond burger. Just make s...

I was born in 1970 in DC and was born and raised there until I left for the Army in 1988..so I know just a little about the historic spots to eat in DC. Ben's C...

It's ok. Nothing spectacular. I ordered a half smoke, chili cheese fries and a shake. They charge you an extra $5 to make you the meal and want a tip. Never see...

Historical eatery. Ask questions about the history to the emoyees. It's fascinating.

Heavy crowded but tastes good. Should add to your definite try.

Purchased their all beef chilli dog and chilli fries. Only complaint is not enough onions on the dog. Even the chesse on their fries had a kick to it. Never bee...

Since I come from the city with the best hotdogs, I was skeptical at first. This place didn't disappoint and is AWESOME.I had a chili dog, cheese fries, and a b...

Great DC relic. Super pleased they had vegetarian and vegan options for all entrees they serve. The service was friendly and though appeared a bit disorganized...

I have lived in the DC metro area for 45 years and I have visited Ben’s Chili since I can remember. The food has always been great. I can remember seeing Mrs. A...

First time trying Ben's tourist, so I had to. I like chili hot dogs. Don't usually do Chili in the summer. Overall, the food was great. Onion rings were excelle...

Such a cool place, a must-visit when you're in Washington DC. The place has a very old school original vibe, with the inside just as vibrant as the outside. The...

What a treat. Not only was I able to have the most amazing cheese fries accompanied with a 1/2 smoke but I was treated to a bit of history. I met the owner, Mrs...

I was told that a visit to DC is MUST include the Original Ben's Chili Bowl on U street in the Shaw neighborhood of DC. What I learned is that Ben?s is not just...

The place is not small, but, it will fill a bit like that at Fridays and Saturdays night as in the middle of the bar and club zone, along with its tourist popul...

Walk in and order, they will bring you your food. There are a few tables up front, in the middle and in the back. Pictures of famous people all over the walls....

This is one of the best hot dogs I have ever had. I ended up getting 2 of them. They are on the pricier side, but they are worth it. They come with chili of you...

Let's be realistic, you're not coming to Ben's for 5 star food. You're coming for the history, nostalgia, reputation, and late hours. But what I do appreciate i...

Greasy spoon comfort food.

Known for their chili dogs and chili cheese fries, Ben’s is a great place to go on U street after going out to the bars. Not for the super healthy or faint of h...

Breaskfast is always good! They have real southern grits. The chili cheeseburgers and chili cheese fries are great, especially late at night.

Chili dogs at 1AM! This place is a landmark. Not for the faint at heart. Chili is what it is. Cheese Fries and shake to go. They have 1 or 2 veggie meals. If yo...
