Ben's Chili Bowl
1213 U St Nw, Washington, South Laurel,
We go to Ben's Chili Bowl as a special reward for my son and whenever we want to have just a nice family day. The Cosby Half smoke is my son's favorite as are the banana milkshakes. Three can eat off one order of fries that is served in a large basket. The owner's son was very nice to us one a recent Sunday and even put a recording in showing the history of the place and the Bill Cosby connection. The staff is very friendly and efficient. The food is good and plentiful, restrooms small but clean. The building is small (deep but narrow) and its popularity results in a very crowded space. The pace is fast so we never wait for a table. Only drawback for me (and its strictly personal) is they could turn down the music. Just take the metro to the U St exit and its just opposite the metro entrance. Great place good food.good people.

Five Guys

Great burgers, fries and price. My 7 year old won't eat Mcdonald's anymore. He doesn't think they are real hamburgers since he's had a 5 Guys burger.

H2O Restaurant and Lounge
800 Water St Sw, Washington, South Laurel,
The night life for this restaurant and lounge is fair, the atmosphere and prices were a surprise. The food was fair, not especially the type or flavor accustomed to. Pricing was relative but some dishes were'nt worth the price.

Lauriol Plaza
1835 18th St Nw, Washington, South Laurel,
Being a native Mexican that moved to DC few years ago, i have to say that this place is awful. The food is NOT Mexican at all but a combination of Mexican/Guatemalan/Salvadorean food. If you are looking for authentic Mexican food this is not the place. If you are looking for an overrated place, pretending to know Mexican food then you belong to this place. I just cameback from another trip from home and Lauriol Plaza has absolutely nothing to do with real Mexican food. Avoid!!!!
