Ben's Chili Bowl Reviews
It’s been years since we last visited this iconic place. First opened in 1958, it has been a staple since then. We ordered two large bowls of the con carne chili. Same surprise and oh so delicious. The only problem is parking nearby.
Got 2 half smokes with one turkey and the other beef chili, a side of turkey chili cheese fries and a sweet tea to round out the meal. A bit salty for my taste but the (very) sweet tea balanced it out.
Loved the atmosphere, and the chili dog was worth a visit. The best thing of all was that the original Ben's wife, Virginia, stopped by to say hello and make sure we were enjoying our meal.
