I had a halfsmoke for the first time, and let me tell you, it was delicious. I had the halfsmoke combo. They were very generous with the fries. Atmosphere was great and restaurant was clean.

I understand that it is an iconic place, but I don't see anything special about it, the hot dog is better even in a convenience store

Recommended by an Uber driver in San Diego so we had to try it when we were in DC. I had the Half Smoke with chili and onions. Very tasty. The French fries were delicious, hot and crispy. Pepsi products which I prefer.

Dietary restrictions: Everything except for the buns is gluten free which is important to my wife.

Ben’s is always a delight. I don’t come for the attitude of the staff or the location. They have great DC food.

Worst indigestion I’ve had in a while. Not very flavorful. Definitely not worth the stomach pain. Nice staff though.
