My sister in law got the turkey dog and chili with fries and a cup of cheese. My brother got the original spicy chili. We unanimously agreed that the food was delicious. The service was good and the ambiance was fire. They answered our questions and didn't rush us - we felt welcomed. An extra plus is all the space/ seating they gave, the walls full of photos and their accolades and the mural outside. If you're in the area, visit Ben's - especially this location as it's the original.

Ben's Chili Bowl is a must visit in DC!…read more There is no other hot dog like it, I mean look at the bun and sausage ratio. It is juicy, meaty, and keeps you coming back for more. Topped with that smoky chili and crunch chips, probably one of the best hot dogs you can get. The interior has so much charm, the checkered floor and photos on the wall really makes the place nostalgic. There is something special about a place with history and people from all walks of life gather just for a hot dog. Service is good, they get your order right and they get it done quick. I spoke to the owner and photographer during my last visit and they were just delightful. You can tell they care about the people and food, it really warmed my heart.

Good food My burger…read morewas very good as were my onion rings. I was not expecting hand dipped rings so that eas a nice surprise. I was not real impressed with the speed of the employees.

Be aware that not only do they have a button to add a tip, they add a service and packaging charger to your order and yes, I was eating in. I will return as the food was good

From half-smokes to fries to burgers, it's all hearty, satisfying, and exactly the kind of comfort food that feels like part of the city's soul. The absolute standout? The chili obviously. It ties the whole meal together and is worth a visit on its own. While a few items were solid but not mind-blowing, the overall experience was memorable, and I'd happily come back for another round (and definitely more chili).

Did not feel bloated as with a lot of other similar burger type places.

I went to the Nationals vs. Dodgers game last Saturday afternoon with a big group. Sometime during…read morethe second inning, half of the group left to find something to snack on. 2-3 innings later, they each came back with a K-Dog which made my mouth water. Despite the inflated stadium pricing, I soon scurried off to find Ssong's Hotdog, which is located near Section 308. The line was sizable, so I waited about 15-20 minutes before it was my turn to place my order. Unfortunately, they were out of almost everything. The potato mozz sausage stick -- the one I drooled over -- would require a 30 minute wait, which I wasn't down for. MOZZ SAUSAGE STICK - 11.49 This was the only option they had left, which is half mozz and half beef sausage. It was pretty small -- four bites and it was gone. The top half was the mozzarella part, which was completely hollow with maybe a few cobweb strands of mozzarella, so it was mainly batter. Overall, incredibly disappointing K-Dog, and it was stale too! I don't know if I'll attend another baseball game, but if I do, I don't think I'll be back at this K-Dog stall.

We tried to order 2 single burgers 2 medium drinks and 1 medium fry the bill was a few cents shy of $50 bucks. I didn't even question this but it's seemed a bit steep. After her participation in a discussion over getting 1 order of fries she added 3 medium fries to our order. The truth is I only picked up on this when they callled out my order number and gave me 3 bags. The addition charge was $20 bucks. If you work behind the counter you should have an idea when the price is wrong. Okay the boss made it right by charging us for only 1 order of fries but the counter girl did also fail to charge us for our drinks so they left those off the bill too. The food was fine and the dining area is clean and overall this isn't a bad place to grab a quick bite. Just keep an eye on the receipt to avoid paying for stuff you didn't order.

I hope this was a case where they were just out of stock rather then not serving them anymore. But I got a cheese burger, fries, and soft drink which came out to $22 (which feels a bit expensive). The burger was really well cooked and the toppings made it taste really good. I love that they have malt vinegar for the fries, and appreciate that they always put an extra scoop of fries in the bag. I know it's a part of their strategy but I can't help but feel giddy.
