I enjoyed my meal. The chili burger reminded me of an old diner style burger you used to be able to get in the 90s and prior. The chili in it had a little kick and was tasty. The fries were a little thick so lots of potato. I should have probably got them with chilli because they need a little something. Salt at least. Swing by and enjoy! The burger really took me back in time for a sec.
Very tasty shakes, okay chili cheese fries. A little expensive, but not outrageous for being in the airport. The food was ready very fast, I hardly had time to sit down before my order was up
Let me start by saying how much I love Ben’s Chili Bowl. Everyone that visits us in DC gets taken there. The airport Ben’s at DCA is a sad sad copy. Looks like Ben’s. Food is subpar. Costs more than Ben’s but here they are afraid to give you chili - just the barest amount to cover the half smoke. Chili would have really helped with the undercooked fries. I truly love Ben’s and hope they somehow get the airport location to just 75% of the other locations....read full review
