Ben's Chili Dogs

Ben's Chili Dogs, one of the oldest restaurants in the City-by-the-Sea, is located on Broadway...."where the locals eat". It was founded in 1969 and operated until 2010 by the Bienvenue brothers, Adrian and Jerry. "Ben" was Adrian's nickname, and the store is affectionately called "Ben's" by locals. Ben's is known for "cheap eats" that fit a family budget, most notably grilled hot dogs in steamed buns that practically melt in your mouth. Available toppings include homemade cheese sauce, homemade Coney Island-style chili sauce, and sauerkraut. The cheese sauce is wildly popular! Try the cheese dogs, some chili-cheese dogs, or the classic hot dogs with "The Works": mustard, chili, onions and celery salt.
