¢-$, American, U Street corridor
User Rating: ***** 4.8
Fodor's Review:
Long before U Street became hip, Ben's was serving chili. Chili on hot dogs, chili on Polish-style sausages, chili on burgers, and just plain chili. Add cheese fries if you dare. The faux-marble bar and shiny red vinyl stools give the impression that little has changed since the 1950s, but turkey and vegetarian burgers and meatless chili are a nod to modern times. Ben's closes at 2 AM Monday through Thursday, at 4 AM on Friday and Saturday, and at 8 PM Sunday. Southern-style breakfast is served from 6 AM weekdays and from 7 AM on Saturday.

You gotta eat at Ben's!

Ben's Chili Bowl is a must on your food list. Located on U Street and easily accessible via the Green Line Metro, try the chili dog or the half smoke. Milk shakes are good but very thick. Chili is great without being too spicy. Our service was a little slow, but the atmosphere is great. The restaurant has been around for 50 years and is a community gathering place. Extremely affordable.RATING: 4.8
