Reviews for Ben's Chili Bowl in 1001 H St NE, WA
My son got a spicy half smoke and chilli cheese fries and he loved the half smoke. But the turkey dog did not taste fresh, I... couldn't chew it enough and therefore did not take another bite! My daughter got a regular hotdog and she said it wasdisgusting. Also I got plain fries and they looked dirty. And the inside of the restaurant smelled like feet. I have never beento this location and We will never go back. I should have stuck with the other location. Read more
Delicious and filling. Ordered a "Spicy Half-Smoke", onion rings and a coffee milk-shake. The chili had enough zip to make it... tasty without burning off the lining of my mouth. The onion rings and shake were equally delicious. Food was delivered to ourtable quickly and hot. . . . I dont know the history of the two pandas outside the door but they were definitely drawing anumber of photo opportunists. :-) Read more
Excellent choice for lunch. Chili fries and a burger were my choice and they were oh so good. The chili does have some heat to... it, which I like spicy and enjoyed the added kick. My hubby enjoyed his chili dog along with the chili fries. I topped my lunchof with a vanilla milkshake.. wow! Best milkshake I've had, my cheeks were sore from trying to slurp it up, it was thick andjust what one would expect of a great shake. The service was a bit laid back and slow, but the place was clean and wasn't toocrowded to get a seat. Read more
Ben's half smoke, Ben's burger, and the onion rings, and the coleslaw were nice n tasty. The overworked staff worked hard to get... everyone's orders out! Management should look into fixing the soda fountain and adequate supply orders (they had run out of ricefor the rice bowls due to demand). Read more
Ben?s Chili Bowl has hands down the best chili dog ever! I will never eat chili dogs anywhere else. The chili fries are out of... this world. Read more
Quick date night first time at Ben's Chili Bowl and it was good. Cashier and cook were very friendly and the inside was clean... plus the music was good. Read more
So the turkey chili was really good!!! The burger was cool and the fries were super. I would give a 5 star BUT my first bowl of... beef chili was horrible. It was thick like a gelatin goop/paste and really dark brown with a bad after taste. I talked with themanager and he switched me to the turkey chili. He had someone taste the beef and confirmed it wasn't right. Not sure the reasonbut he said he was going to scrap the rest. I was there around 6:45 and they close at 8. Kudo's to the manager listening to acustomer! Anyway not sure what it usually tastes like but I will stick the the turkey from now on. Teenagers loved the Oreomilkshake ????. The turkey chili is the one almost gone and the beef had the onions on top. Read more
7/1/2022 Starting July with new foods in new places. I enjoyed the sandwich but the taste of the chili wins out over the... burger. Next time I'll go for the half smoked. The fries were good. I feel like the area is being gentrified so there was aninteresting mix of cultures and economics. On my Middle Class Monotony (MCM) scale (0-5 where 0 is NOT cheap or monotonous and5 being very cheap and monotonous): This is a place for everyone anytime so there is no exclusive nature to it nor is itexpensive. So this is a 4 on the MCM scale. Read more
