This place has been there and done that for 50 years! The chili is good, hot and just a bit sweet. The dogs are a bit boring, and the entire feel is a bit 'you should have been here 10 years ago'. The half smoke is decent, but I won't come to Bens intentionally again. But there is a lot going on in the neighborhood these days.

Ben??s Chili Bowl is an institution in DC. They make some amazing cuisine. This is far from a fancy restaurant. They specialize in some casual food such as burgers, fries, sausage, hot dogs and of course their world renowned Chili. This place is open late so it is a nice option if you are out and about late and night. I??m a big fan of this establishment.

Wow. As a native Washingtonian, I have frequented Ben's Chili Bowl ever since I was a very young child. My father introduced me to this establishment. Small but cozy. The taste of the food is consistently great and the proprietor's are very pleasant and down to earth. In my opinion you can't find a better chili cheese half smoke anywhere on the planet. A sure cure for the late night (or anytime) munchies!

One little known secret about Ben's is their great veggie burger. And of course everything else that everybody loves. Great tasting food, good value, friendly service and the sense that you have entered the pages of history when you cross the threshold. I just hope they don't remodel, and keep a little of the old U street down there with the new U.

This place is a Washington institution. Black owned and operated since 1958, Ben's boasts Bill Cosby as one of its most famous regular patrons. The half smoke, perhaps DC's only indiginous cuisine, is a special treat served with chili and mustard. The chili cheese burger and fries are also quite spectacular. They also serve breakfast and delicious shakes. And to feed the late night bar crowds, they're open until 4 am on weekends.

Ben's Chili Bowl is a Washington, DC institution. Their specialties are fresh off the grill hot dogs and burgers with all the trimmings. For a DC restaurant, they are absolutely reasonably priced. If you find yourself in DC, you've got to swing by Ben's and help yourself to the best chili dog you've ever had!
