Chicken sandwich and sweet ice tea
Nancy E.

While traveling thru Dulles Airport we stopped here to get a chicken sandwich and sweet ice tea. It was pretty good chicken was hot which was great. Yea was ok.

Ben's Chili Bowl.

Ben's Chili Bowl is an iconic Washington DC restaurant chain. They recently opened a location in the B-Gate area across from Gates B71-73. They have both carry out food and onsite seating. There are booths, counter seating, and a couple of small tables available. They are famous for their homemade chili con carne and half smoke hot dogs. Here is what you should know: 1) Ben's Chili bowl is a fast food casual restaurant. Nothing fancy. 2) They are known for their classic chili dogs, chili burgers, salads, bowls and subs. Their menu also lists veggie burgers and subs. 3) All day breakfast is available. 4) Chili cheese fries and chili nachos? YES! 5) Service will depend on how busy the airport is. There was only one person ahead of me when I stepped up to place my order. Their kitchen is pretty good at cranking out orders. 6) I believe they are open 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. 7) Be aware that flying can cause Intestinal gas discomfort during flights due to changes in cabin pressure. As the plane ascends, the air pressure decreases, causing gases in the body to expand, which can lead to bloating and the need to pass gas more frequently. Walking around the cabin and stretching during the flight can aid in reducing discomfort by promoting better digestion and circulation. Do your friends, family and fellow passengers a favor... use the airplane lavatory as needed and enjoy Ben's Chili Bowl!

I was not impressed nor did I feel that vibe I had 15 years ago ...... I would rather only see the original location. It was all empty and the attention wasn't there for the customers. I had just found it off my gate when I landed.

For fast food in the airport, I'd hope for faster service ahead of a flight. Luckily I didn't need…read moreto rush but I waited over twenty minutes for a little cheeseburger which felt a bit extreme. No one really seemed to care about things. They would only prioritize and treat their friends first. The food was fine once received. There is also plenty of seating in front of the service area to sit down and eat.

Please DO. NOT. GO. HERE!!!! We were so excited to come to the five guys at this airport. We took a…read moretrain from one gate section to the next just to get it just for it to be awful!!! Well when we get there, there's a lot of people waiting for their food like a bunch of people and then whenever we finally get to order, our cashier was absolutely RUDE!! He was rushing us, mind you there was only two boys behind us. I think he could barely understand English. My family and I said our order is loud and clear and he seemed like he understood. Fast forward he starts getting our drink drinks for us and puts no ice in them. I guess he's just lazy. Anyways, then we ask him to put ice in it and he pops three little ice cube cubes in the cup and makes the drink of her flow like it doesn't take that much effort to pour out some of the drink and add ice. It's not even like they were out of ice , and since when should you have to ask for ice???? I have never been to a five guys like this. Then the same cashier turns around and talks to his coworker about another lady who is ordering saying that "she was watching him" like it's an open kitchen!!! What do you think is going to happen?? You are rude!!! Then we get our burgers after waiting for what seemed like an eternity. There are no numbers on the burgers. All of us got orders that were not in any way similar, however, they still managed to mess them up. Imagine paying $70 for burgers and then they mess it up. We are highly disappointed with this location, and it is not worth the money. The staff needs to be replaced or this establishment needs to close down.

The Burger Shack, Chantilly VA, Oct, 2026. This was our first visit to The Burger Shack, a…read morerestaurant with three locations in Northern Virginia (Chantilly, Ashburn, and Alexandria). The Chantilly location is in a small, rustic tin-roofed reproduction of an 1807 tavern (McAtee's Tavern, historically also known as the Mitchell-Weeks House). A historic marker, erected by the Fairfax County History Commission in 2017, is on-site. Food. The Burger Shack has an extensive menu with burgers (beef, chicken, turkey, vegetarian), hot dogs, fish fillets, fries/tater tots, milkshakes, and more. My husband and I selected from their Specialty Burger menu, which features huge 7 oz. fresh, never-frozen Angus beef burgers on soft brioche buns, that are cooked to order (rare to well done) on a large grill just behind the order counter. I selected the Swiss and Mushroom beef burger ($11.99), while my husband chose the BBQ Bacon Cheddar ($12.49). He also upgraded his to a combo ($4.99), which added fries and a fountain drink. Overall, we really enjoyed the food. The burgers were perfectly charred, cooked to our preferred temperature, tasted fresh, and served hot on delicious brioche buns. The fries were crispy, and of a good quantity for us to share. I would've preferred more mushrooms on my burger, and my husband would've liked more BBQ sauce -- but the biggest change that we'd make for future orders would be to select the option to "Build Our Own Burger" rather than selecting from the Specialty Burger menu. The 7 oz burgers were just too big, with too much meat, for our own preferences. The Burger Shack has options to select your own burger size if you build your own (ranging from 4 oz to 7 oz). Seating. The restaurant is relatively small, with indoor seating for perhaps 40 people at full capacity. There are also a few outdoor picnic tables. The restaurant was clean, and tables were wiped down regularly. They were also doing a healthy carry-out business. Service. You order at a counter; your food is then freshly made to order and brought to your table. The counter staff and waiter were efficient but neither friendly nor unfriendly. The parking lot on-site is tiny and tight. However, there's plenty of room to park on the Route 50 Access Road.

I needed something on my stomach and order a cheeseburger, minus the cheese and mayo. It's served on a brioche bun that wasn't the freshest, but I always eat around bread on a burger, so it was no biggy. As for the burger, it was fantastic. Cooked to order. This is a burger shack. There's not much seating and zero ambiance. Their menu looks interesting, and the fact that the cook to your preference makes this way better than chain options. I'd come back if I happen through here again. By the way, the person who reviewed below, complaining of the environment, it the primary reason you have to question many low ratings. This place is very solid.

I never see food trucks near where I work and live (Reston) so when I found out about this guy I…read morehad to give it a try. My co-workers and I tried the bratwurst and currywurst with mixed reviews. The brat was good, as was the currywurst however one complaint was that it was not saucy enough. One person did not like the red cabbage, but the sauerkraut and potato salad both got high marks. One thing we all agreed on: the kaiser roll was pretty dry and not really edible unless you gave it a good pre-soak first. Again, this is where some extra sauce on the currywurst would have come in handy. The guy running the truck was super nice and greeted me with a friendly heckle when I took his picture "without permission." $9 is about average for lunch in this area and I enjoyed trying something different.

Worst sausages I can recall eating. Ever have a bbq and forget a couple sausages on the grill,…read moreonly to find them hours later; little black wrinkled and dried out cylinders. That's what bratwurst king sold us today at old ox brewery. I can't believe they sold it to us and I can't believe I paid for them. Should have known when I ordered and the sausages were immediately plated. Definitely not cooked to order and we were the only ones in line. They looked like they were probably sitting on the griddle all morning. That being said, the potato salad was really good and the red cabbage was pretty good. Wish they would have given us more of those and ate the sausages themselves. I'm sorry for the 1 star, but the king needs to know if he serves up that burnt garbage he deserves it.

Can't believe I haven't written a Brew Birds review yet. I go there at least once a month, and…read moreit's generally my suggestion to anyone visiting or hanging out at our place. It is walkable from our neighborhood, which we are so lucky to have. The staff is friendly, the patio is a nice place to chill, having a short list of beers on tap is great, and the food is *amazing*. I can personally recommend their breakfast burrito, the tots, the roast beast, the turkey BLT, and the smash burger. They do "simple" food just very well. It's definitely not a "fast dash" type of place - there's typically a small line and you'll wait and sip your coffee/beer while they make your order fresh - so don't expect Wendy's speed but it's also incredibly delicious in a way no fast food place could dream of. Support Brew Birds!

Very cute spot, has a tiny bar with draft beers and wines i believe? Their food menu is quite large…read morefor a dainty spot, I like that it's a very chic vibe to it. I came cause I thought maybe the brew in it's name meant they had an extensive coffee/espresso menu. That wasn't the case, all their flavors were basic, nothing fancy. The only one that stood out was the horchata flavor, so I got a soy iced horchata latte. It was pretty, but literally had barely any horchata taste. My first one sip was the only horchata I got, it was a GOOD ONE. After that? All gone. No more..so sad. Had there been more 10/10. Just for that dropped the basic latte to a 2/10. I also got the pj&b fried egg sandwich. That was really good. It was sweet, savory, and a touch of spice. 10/10. Lengthy wait for only 3 customers ahead of me...and like 10 workers... lol overall I may return in the future for food items, but definitely not the bajista stuff...
