Ben's Chili Bowl Reviews

Great late-night comfort food! Jun 28, 2008
We decided on this place for a late-night dinner after a long day of traveling! We actually found it based on the previous reviewer, which I corroborated with a few online guidebooks the DC Visitor's guide!

Absolutely delicious! Easy to get to, and was almost standing-room-only at a little after midnight. Because it was so late, we shared the chili cheese fries, and they were most definitely the best I'd ever had! The chili is a bit spicy, but I wouldn't say that people who don't like spice couldn't handle it. And with the flavor, you don't want to pass this up! Even their lemonade was really good! =)

A great, relaxed place to eat!

Nice review, Gwen! This sounds like my kind of place :-) I will have to check out Ben's Chili Bowl on my next late night visit to our Nation's Capital :-D

What can I say...Ben's Chili Bowl. I feel a closeness to this place, and not just because we have the same name. The restaurant itself is a DC landmark; you cannot go wrong with Ben's. I repeat, YOU CANNOT GO WRONG WITH THIS PLACE. Great prices, and great hours. On weekdays, they're open 'til 2am; on weekends 'til 4am. Hit the clubs, bars, Georgetown, whatever, then go to Ben's afterwards. The place gets crowded, so be prepared for a long line, especially on those late weekend hours.
