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.

We had a great overall experience here. The restaurant is conveniently located in a shopping…read morecenter, so there's plenty of parking, and the interior is clean, modern, and inviting. The only downside was that the music was a little louder than I prefer, making conversation slightly difficult at times. Our waitress was incredibly personable and friendly, and she made us feel very welcome. Service was a bit slow, but it appeared she was the only server working that day, so it was understandable. The food more than made up for the wait. The biscuits were absolutely fantastic. The spring salad was one of the best salads I've had in a long time. The grilled chicken on top was seasoned beautifully and cooked perfectly, juicy and tender without being overdone. I'd definitely come back for the food and the welcoming service. Hopefully they'll have a little more staff next time, but it was still a very enjoyable meal.

We brought our whole staff here to celebrate a great Easter weekend. The vibes of this place…read moredefinitely southern comfort. The server we had was amazing. She did a phenomenal job overseeing our whole group by herself. The food was good. I love a good southern comfort meal. But I'd be lying that I wasn't a little disappointed they didn't have chicken and waffles. They do have chicken and biscuits which looked good. But I was craving that delicious crispy meat over a savory waffle. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meals. Not a single person complained. If anything, they said how much food they got! When in the area again, will take a stop here to enjoy their food again!

Stopped at Makers Union in Reston on a rainy Sunday afternoon after taking our dog to the dog park…read more We sat outside on the patio with Onyx, and our server Kenny was great. When the rain started becoming an issue, he actually moved the umbrellas together to make sure Onyx had a dry spot. Really appreciated that. We started with a Bourbon Club and the Nitro Espresso Martini, then got the buffalo wings and she-crab soup. The wings can be grilled or fried and we went grilled, which was definitely the right call. Good char on them and I'd get them the same way again. The she-crab soup was also really good and perfect for a rainy afternoon. For lunch we had the French dip and the Reuben, and subbed the mac and cheese for one of the sides. Both sandwiches were solid, but the mac and cheese deserves a mention of its own. Definitely worth the substitution. Good food, good drinks, and especially good service from Kenny. Being able to hang out on the patio with our dog without the rain ruining lunch made the whole experience even better.

The initial presentation of the decor and such when you walk in is great. I should have known that…read moreat 6:30 pm on a Friday they could sit people without a wait was the first red flag in a serious of many others. It took some time to get actual service, starting with an ask for iced water that took 15 minutes and then just got ice in a cup, red flag number two. This then followed multiple food issues, poorly prepared, cooked, and bused tables. When I brought up undercooked food a manager showed up 4 minutes later and said that the kitchen was under prepared and asked if I wanted anything else. They tried to correct it but brought out the same side again that was again under cooked. It took time to ask for the bill, and anticipated some kinda financial apology for the service and food quality, there wasn't, in fact I saw on the receipt that they were tracking how many times they filled my water glass, so weird. I wouldn't go back here if the meal was free. Beyond the atmosphere the restaurant really has nothing much to offer in comparison to its competitors in the area. Unclear how it's achieved 4.2 stars on yelp.
