• 24/11/21Food was awesome! The chili cheese fries were big enough to share. I can't believe I ate them all but the chili was just as spicy and tasty as I remembered it. And the Big Ben burger was soooooo good! I was just full from the fries that I couldn't finish it. I'm sure it will be just as good tomorrow! Food was delicious - I'll definitely order again

• 7/12/25We had 4 in our ggroup. We ordered Original half smoked with chili, onions and mustard,Ben's Famous Burger - DOUBLE French Fries andChili Cheese Fries (Beef)
the Fries somehow were sill crispy, the chili was delish and the food is consistently good.the half smokeddogs have a nuce snap to them. The only thing that kind of bums me out is the fact that the burgers do not automatically come with cheese. You pay extra for that but the photo of the burgers have cheese on them so i didn't add cheese assuming it was already a part of it but the flavor was still pretry great! 10/10 would recommend

• 12/06/26The hot dog was not cooked.The onions was not cooked as I asked in the fries was cold now.This is the first time that I had to complain.But I don't think it came from the original ben's chili bowl, but nevertheless, it doesn't give any excuse for the way to fool was prepared.It was simply awful.
