    Honestly for a quick snack before a flight, this was great. It's the first time I've tried this. At 5 AM it might not have been the best choice but the bright signage, clean esthetic and wonderful history convinced me that a half smoke with chili and onions were a great idea! Ha. The kiosk was a quick way to order with options for personalized dog. I had this split and grilled with the chili and raw onions. It was very small and almost $10 so I'm glad I wasn't that hungry. Still, it was savory, tasty and hit the spot!

    Ben's Chili Bowl is an iconic Washington DC restaurant chain. They recently opened a location in the B-Gate area across from Gates B71-73. They have both carry out food and onsite seating. There are booths, counter seating, and a couple of small tables available. They are famous for their homemade chili con carne and half smoke hot dogs. Here is what you should know: 1) Ben's Chili bowl is a fast food casual restaurant. Nothing fancy. 2) They are known for their classic chili dogs, chili burgers, salads, bowls and subs. Their menu also lists veggie burgers and subs. 3) All day breakfast is available. 4) Chili cheese fries and chili nachos? YES! 5) Service will depend on how busy the airport is. There was only one person ahead of me when I stepped up to place my order. Their kitchen is pretty good at cranking out orders. 6) I believe they are open 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. 7) Be aware that flying can cause Intestinal gas discomfort during flights due to changes in cabin pressure. As the plane ascends, the air pressure decreases, causing gases in the body to expand, which can lead to bloating and the need to pass gas more frequently. Walking around the cabin and stretching during the flight can aid in reducing discomfort by promoting better digestion and circulation. Do your friends, family and fellow passengers a favor... use the airplane lavatory as needed and enjoy Ben's Chili Bowl!

    I was not impressed nor did I feel that vibe I had 15 years ago ...... I would rather only see the original location. It was all empty and the attention wasn't there for the customers. I had just found it off my gate when I landed.

    These folks have hired a company to remove all the 1 STAR REVIEWS. Now they have All 4 STAR REVIEWS. Slim shady. I got sick from them

    This was our first time visiting The Burger Shack and we had a great experience! We did an online…read moreorder since we have a little one and wanted to get our food to go. They have a great selection of burgers and hot dogs with options to customize your bun, toppings, and doneness. We ordered two classic cheeseburgers on brioche rolls and split an order of the loaded fries. The food quality was great! The ingredients were fresh and much better than you would get at a chain restaurant. The loaded fries were filling and delicious too! I also appreciated that my well-done burger was juicy, but wasn't greasy. My husband and I will definitely be back the next time we're craving a quality burger and fries!

    Stumbled upon this spot after a coffee run and exploration day in the area. I immediately went to…read moreyelp and saw they had 1k reviews so thought why not give it a try. And we needed something quick as traveling with a baby equals time crunch. So let's get to it. There's a small parking lot and seating inside and out (picnic style tables). I got sliders and my significant other got a personalized burger. In addition we also got chili cheese fries and tater tots. We had to get this to go so I was quite happy with the temperature and taste when we got home. Surprisingly all the food maintained its quality and warmth on a 20 min ride. We both really enjoyed the burgers and I was surprised by the sliders. Most sliders don't fill me and I feel it's always missing something. These mini burgers were super filling and felt like I didn't have to miss eating a big burger. We both enjoyed our sides. I think my significant other heated up the fries later in the evening and said it was still pretty good. I myself reheated my one mini burger I had left and it still tasted like I just got it recently. Hoping to visit again and try more items when I can.

    Not a huge fan of Potbelly traditionally but wanted to try a wrap instead of a sandwich, to see if…read moreI liked it better. And I did like it quite a bit! Felt like a better balance of flavors without so much bread. Order was: Chicken salad wrap, provolone, lettuce, cucumbers, Italian seasoning. Portion size was generous, everything tasted fresh and flavorful. In the mid-afternoon, this area is a good place to take a break in the airport. A few of the gates right around Potbelly were almost empty. I collapsed on a row of seats near the window and leisurely consumed my wrap while watching planes go by. It was quite pleasant. Marking off a star because I ordered ahead on their app while I was walking across the airport and they didn't make it until I got there, even though I had allowed 20 minutes for them to prepare it. No signage explaining where to go for pre-orders, so I had to flag someone down at the registers and she found the slip for the order. Then she sort of begrudgingly made it and handed it to me without any commentary. So yeah, seems to be a common theme here. No one was particularly friendly and they didn't actually make my order until I asked, but the food was good and at least somewhat healthy.

    The good part is that its open very early in the morning like 5am unlike the other close by options…read morethat open at 6am. Clean premises and fast moving lines is perfect for airport dining! In $12, i got: - pizza melt sandwich 3/5. I feel the wheat bread was amazing but it was too much marinara sauce. It comes with pepperoni and meatball. They give u lots of options which is amazing like wheat bread or white. Lots of topping options like onion, tomato, pickles, hot peppers, mayo, mustard. I wish they offered egg omelette sandwich or pesto options. More veggie options sill be good too.
