Ben's Chili Bowl - Washington

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 lunch of with a vanilla milkshake.. wow! Best milkshake I've had, my cheeks were sore from trying to slurp it up, it was thick and just 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 too crowded to get a seat.

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.

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.

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 an interesting mix of cultures and economics. On my Middle Class Monotony (MCM) scale (0-5 where 0 is NOT cheap or monotonous and 5 being very cheap and monotonous): This is a place for everyone anytime so there is no exclusive nature to it nor is it expensive. So this is a 4 on the MCM scale.

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 rice for the rice bowls due to demand).
