Ben's Chili Bowl

Did not disappoint! The history of this restaurant is amazing. The food is amazing as well. Loved the old style ambience which brought me back to my younger years of restaurants in this style from the 70’s. The original half smoke and the turkey chili were awesome.

I'm not sure if that's the same standard that some food reviewers shared. It was okay, not too shabby, but pricey for that quality and taste.

Don’t waste your time or money! I don’t get the attraction, frankly. It’s filthy inside, look up at the air vent and pipes (U Street location) how’d they pass inspection? There’s no prices on the menu so… sticker shock to pay $45 for 2 chili dogs and 2 small chili cups and a soda!! The food is NOTHING special, just spicy chili. The staff is downright rude!!!! Soup Nazi rude!!!!Worst experience I’ve ever had at an eatery to get robbed of my $.

I ordered the vegan dog with vegetarian chili and cheese. I got the same on my regular size fries. The food was good but expensive. I spent over $22 for the dog and fries... Without a drink.

Fun spot. Good food. Don’t think I need to go more than once though. The restaurant is not very clean.
