Ben's Next Door

The absolute best cuisine in the city . Great vibe and prices. Perfect weekend brunch with lots of tvs at the bar for sports . My favorite drink is their creation a blueberry capriosas.

Delicious! I couple of friends brought me here to experience "Ben's Chili ", apparently a DC staple, and I was VERY pleased. The grits were damn good too. $16 bottomless mimosas on the weekends! :)

The fried chicken & Waffle plate is goodness unexpected! The Waffle is SO light, airy and crispy goodness!!

Crab sandwich was excellent and the grits amazon I stole my boyfriends he had to order more lol. Wonderful people as well

Salmon Cakes for Brunch are great as well as they have the best Shrimp and Grits in town . Start off early with the bottomless mimosa 's.. Regrets on this action are the best the next day!

Brunch or weekday evening, this is one of the hippest scenes for the black, young and classy to enjoy in dc!

Leave your diet at the door and order the fried chicken and crab cake combo. Your taste buds will thank you!

Love the chicken and crab cake platter but this time around the chicken was not as good as it use to be and the crab cake was dry and a bit over cooked. The Patron Margarita was off the chain!

the best chicken and waffles ever. do yourself a favor and get a side of grits , too.

Melaninated owned business. Great food!

Chicken and waffles ...only odd thing, doesn't come with gravy . But chicken is very flavorful and compensates for no gravy

Beat the line next door at the original and enjoy the food in comfort.

Great food, great staff , and great atmosphere.

Brunch and Happy Hour . Chicken and Waffles . Shrimp and Grits !

Shrimp and Grits are really good. And you can't go wrong with any of the appetizers .

The Mac n cheese with crab is soooooo good. Also try the tomato and mozzarella .

Best Shrinp and grits in the country

Friendliest staff in DC. Great HH specials!

Chicken and waffles only available at lunch time or on Monday night.

If you're coming for brunch plan to wait. Pretty crowded on Sundays.

The fish and chips were good! Huge portion for the price. Next time I'm definitely trying the fillet.

Shrimp and Grits marvellous

I love this place! One of my faves in D.C.

Have the halfsmoke the way the bartender does, with chili , cheese , onions , and ketchup . Mac and cheese is pretty tasty too.

The shrimp po' boy is excellent.

Shrimp Po' Boy is where it's at!

Nice atmosphere and a chill vibe. They do well by the drinks too.

Blueberry Caprioska is delish! And rich with antioxidants :-)

Erin is the best bartender . Good to find someone who takes pride in there craft
