We got a sausage, egg and cheese sandwich on an English muffin and a bacon, egg and cheese on a bagel, with a coffee for a little over $23. The sandwiches were bigger than I expected. They were good. The restaurant was clean and the woman taking orders was polite. I’d eat here again if I was at a nearby gate.

Stopped in for breakfast, reasonably priced with options for those of us who make adjustments to most of their meals. Service was good and prompt. Table we used had sticky milk shake that appeared to be from the day before (it was 7a and it didn’t wipe when I used a napkin). Hot chocolate was least expensive I’ve bought but was boiling hot and tasted awful.

Best breakfast in the airport by price, taste, and portion. The location is always bright and clean. The line moves fast. And I think it’s the only place that sells veggie sausage and grits in the airport. The employees are always nice, and a special shout-out to Hanif who was great at the register and always greets everyone.

I recently had the pleasure of eating at Ben’s Chilli Bowl Restaurant at DCA Airport. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the food was decent. The chili was flavorful and hearty, and the sides were satisfying. The atmosphere was laid-back. All in all, I had a great experience at Ben’s Chilli Bowl Restaurant, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good meal at the airport.

The burger was pretty good, not the best I’ve taste, the meat could use more seasoning (then again a I am from the south so my taste is different). But the chili and cheese fries were not good. It was too lose and not thick enough.

This venue is a burger joint but I had the most heavenly thick chocolate shake here!

I honestly did not expect breakfast to be this good. Very impressed. 3 Egg Omelette is the way to go. Hash brown could have been crispier.

I’ve eaten here several times and just thought to add a review. This burger joint and its prices are good. I will return. Much better than the expensive bars near the gates. Also has a nice view of a runway.

Chilli burger double was pretty good. The chicken tenders are way too breaded. Not that great. Prices a little high even for airport food.
