Ben’s Chili Bowl - Washington, D.C.

We came here at 2:00 a.m. after catching up a local show. this is a great place to eat when everything is closed, but not something I would just get during normal days. well, but to have decisions.

We ordered the vegan chili and vegan chili frits (without cheese) the vegan chili was good. the vegan chili-fried ratio was off. much too much chili, we could hardly cost the pommes.

The veg chili meets the place! many vegetarian options and some vegan options, so no one misses. the chili dog for vegetarian and chili burger for vegan are both delicious options!

I would say this place is definitely more for meat eaters than vegetarian or vegan lifestyle. They didn’t have Impossible burgers (although on the menu) so I ordered a Beyond burger with vegetarian chili. I also got fries and a milkshake “because it was cheaper to make a meal”. Much to my disappointment, the total was $22! The food tasted mediocre and I ended up only drinking less than a fourth of my milkshake because the taste wasn’t worth the dairy intake. Cool atmosphere but wouldn’t recommend to fully Veg/Vegan friends.

They gave me meat at first and then reassured me it was the beyond burger when it wasn’t. I don’t think they knew what I meant by the beyond burger. Just make sure you’re careful! Luckily the manager knew the difference and re-made my burger. It was very good with the vegan chili.
