Brunch at Ben’s Next Door: My Go-To Spot
There’s nothing like brunch at Ben’s Next Door, my absolute favorite spot in D.C. Whenever I walk in, the bartenders and servers greet me like family, they already know my order is coming: chicken and waffles with bottomless mimosas.
Ben’s Next Door is more than just a restaurant; it’s a piece of Black D.C. history. Opened by the same family behind the legendary Ben’s Chili Bowl, this Black-owned gem has been serving the community with incredible food, good vibes, and strong drinks for years. The atmosphere is always buzzing, whether it’s a chill Sunday or a lively game day.
This time, I brought my best friend along, and as always, we were treated like VIPs. Between the crispy fried chicken, fluffy waffles, and endless pours of mimosas, it was another perfect brunch. If you haven’t been, you’re seriously missing out—this place is pure brunch magic!
