Welcome to Ben’s Chili Bowl!!! We thank you for your interest and hope that you decide to bring your group to dine with us. We feel that there is no better place to dine in Washington to experience the real D.C. in all of its flavor and history. 2008 will mark our 50th year in business. We are family-owned and operated and have remained open in this location since 1958. We hope to see you soon.

(Please ask if you would like us to show our video of Ben’s Chili Bowl’s and U Street’s history to your group while they are here.)

***We are still a small family business and unfortunately do not take credit cards at this time. Cash or company checks are accepted. Thank you for understanding! We do know that this is a hindrance and are working on accepting credit cards in the near future)

Alternate Group Option 1

If you do not believe your group will eat $15 or $13 worth of food including tax and tip, and you are still paying all together as a group, we are happy to take each individual’s order at their seats and tally up the bill at the end for exactly what was ordered. This method can save the group money over Group Menu’s 1 & 2 or could exceed their costs depending on how much each group member orders. Tip is left to your discretion.

Alternate Group Option 2

For large groups where each person is paying individually, we ask that each group member proceed through our line at the counter. There, they can order, pay, and receive their meal prior to sitting. Our service is much faster with this method and the line moves relatively quickly. Please call ahead to schedule and confirm your group’s arrival so that we can be better prepared to serve you, and reserve a block of seats for your group.

In the event you have another meal plan in mind for your group, we are very flexible and will do our best to accommodate your preference and your budget.
