Must Try Dishes

Visiting Washington D.C. is incomplete if you miss out on the iconic Half-Smoke at Ben's Chili Bowl, a smoked half-pork, half-beef sausage served on a warm steamed bun with mustard, onions, and the famous home-made spicy chili sauce. Another must-try is their Chili Fries, that combines their award-winning chili with crisp fries for a delightful experience. If you're a burger lover, Ben's Chili Cheeseburger would be perfect for you; a generous serving of beef patty, chili, and cheese on a toasty bun. Lastly, don't forget their Chili Con Carne, an all-time American favorite, which is a rich and hearty stew of ground beef and red kidney beans slow-cooked in tomato sauce and assorted spices.

Do not come here it is not open to the public. Had to waste a second Uber to go to the original place. Not worth coming.
