Ben's Chili Bowl - Washington, DC - Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives on Waymarking.com

This place is incredible. BRING CASH... they do have an ATM on-site, but they do not accept credit cards at the counter. You line-up... order your food, pay for it and pick it up as it comes off the assembly line. No fuss, no muss... but definetly don't expect a waiter to take your order. Have cash in hand, go in, get in line, order, pay, get food, sit down.... simple....and great, great food.
