One honest note for my fellow purists: the buns are hearty, so if you're a classic bun person like me, the ratio leans a little bread-forward. Personal preference. But here's the tip that makes all the difference: order the half smoke. Bigger, beefier, and it fills that bun the way nature intended. That's the move. And if you love blue cheese, the buffalo tots are dangerously snackable.

Although didn't feel like Chicago, it was still close enough! The dig wasn't too salty and it was lean. With fries and a non-fountain soda, it sure filled me up. The place gave me an early 90s dine. It was hip, chill and nostalgic kind of way. Give it a try.

My go-to is fully loaded: onion, chili, mustard, and relish. That's the move. I've worked my way through a lot of the menu, the hot dogs, burgers, bean soup, onion rings, and mac salad. The fries are a seasoned wedge fry, which was a nice surprise and a step up from your standard cut. A large sweet tea is the right call to wash it all down. I still haven't tried the breakfast sandwiches, but they're on my list for next time. This is the kind of longtime local spot that keeps you coming back. Worth a stop.

I got a premium beef dog with potatoes. They ask if you want sugar and the answer is yes. You have different options of what to top your dog with so I did ketchup, mustard, spicy, and mayo... almost everything (lol) The dog itself is a bit underwhelming but everything around it is perfection. I think next time I'll try a rice cake dog or a mozzarella dog for more novelty. My only wish is that the dog tasted more like a Kirkland hotdog from the food court! (Take notes, Oh K-Dog!) My friend got an egg toast and she loved it! They make the experience a little less messy with their packaging but she def still needed a fork and knife to finish it -- just a heads up for those that like to keep it clean while eating! Seating is abundant, but it does get crowded. Highly recommend Oh K-Dog if you're in the Ballston area :)

An extra plus is all the space/ seating they gave, the walls full of photos and their accolades and the mural outside. If you're in the area, visit Ben's - especially this location as it's the original.

Ben's Chili Bowl is a must visit in DC!…read more There is no other hot dog like it, I mean look at the bun and sausage ratio. It is juicy, meaty, and keeps you coming back for more. Topped with that smoky chili and crunch chips, probably one of the best hot dogs you can get. The interior has so much charm, the checkered floor and photos on the wall really makes the place nostalgic. There is something special about a place with history and people from all walks of life gather just for a hot dog. Service is good, they get your order right and they get it done quick. I spoke to the owner and photographer during my last visit and they were just delightful. You can tell they care about the people and food, it really warmed my heart.

The menu is not your typical hot dog stand as you can get burgers, cheesesteaks, and a variety of sides and other items. Depending on when you stop by, there could be a line and the food is made fresh, so the wait might be longer than expected. However, the food is really good. I plan to stop by again soon to try other menu items.

We ordered two burgers -- the classic smash burger (lettuce, tomato, mayo, and cheese) and the BBQ bacon burger (grilled onions, bacon, and BBQ sauce) -- along with their famous cheesesteak combo. The cheesesteak came loaded with lettuce, jalapeños, tomato, and steak infused with peppers and onions, topped with Marky's-style cheese, plus seasoned fries and a soda. Everything was absolutely delicious, and I can't recommend this place enough -- especially knowing they're part of our local community. I've walked past this gem so many times without realizing what I was missing! It's tucked away in the Home Depot parking lot on Little River Turnpike, so don't sleep on it. I'll definitely be back to work my way through the entire menu.

Falls Church, VA - after hiking around in the city my handsome husband and I worked up a hunger…read more German Gourmet to the rescue! This little store on Columbia Pike functions as a German specialty grocer, deli and sandwich counter. Our focus today was the sandwich counter. One important thing to know is there is no seating of any kind. You will be taking your sandwiches to go. (My suggestion: get a few slices of butter kaese at the deli counter and munch on these on the car ride home. Then enjoy your sandwiches in peace at your abode.) They do offer napkins and plastic silverware if needed. The sandwiches are freshly made to order. You take a number and a deli employee will assist you. They have numerous types of bratwurst to choose from. Additionally a number of German cold cuts. We ordered a Nurnberger bratwurst and the Tyrolean hot sandwich. The breads for both were very fresh and the sandwiches tasty. The mustard on the bratwurst was full of good horseradish! The Tyrolean was moist with a good combination of tender meat and sauce. The bread was a nice mild rye - it was a two hander sandwich! We were both full having eaten these delicious sandwiches. The deli employees were all friendly and efficient. Prices were very reasonable. We would definitely return.

Hi everyone, just wanted to leave a review of German Gourmet on Columbia Pike…read more Before I begin, I want to identify what the ingredients are for a classic Reuben. You'll need two slices of seeded or marble rye bread, about six ounces of thinly sliced corned beef or pastrami, two slices of sharp Swiss cheese, roughly a quarter cup of well-drained sauerkraut, and two tablespoons of Russian or Thousand Island dressing. A little butter for toasting the bread and optional spicy brown mustard round it out. That said, what I actually received was the absolute worst Reuben I've ever had in my entire life. They used ham instead of corned beef or pastrami, an insult to the name. The Swiss was bland and low-quality, not sharp at all. There was no mustard, barely any Thousand Island, and I couldn't even detect any sauerkraut. The bread wasn't toasted, and they still charged me $12.50 with tax. If this is what passes for a Reuben at a supposed German delicatessen, save your money and go somewhere that actually knows what they're doing.

The corn dogs were good and satisfied the craving, but nothing too crazy. I do wish they were a bit crispier on the outside.

It's fun and honestly impressive how many ways you can customize one corn dog. That said, I really appreciated that they also keep some more traditional Korean options on the menu.

Great spot in the food court when you're craving something different or just want a snack that feels like an experience. Definitely not boring.
