My wife and I saw Ben’s on a Man Vs. Episode and so we decided to stop by there on our recent trip to DC. The food there is amazing! The show was not overstating the quality AT all. We let the waiter order for us after telling him it was our first time at the restaurant, he brought us each a half-smoke (chili-cheese hotdog) and an order of chili-cheese fries. I’m not joking when I say it was out of this world. I’m not usually a hotdog guy, nor do I usually go on and on about chili (I know what you’re thinking, "then why did you go to a chili place and have a hotdog??"…this was initially my wife’s idea)… but this place was really really good. President Obama and Bill Cosby (among other famous types) weren’t wrong, this place is awesome. Subsequently, I also had a piece of red velvet cake, and it was also really really good. You can’t miss with this place.
Also, note that they are CASH ONLY.
