Thanks to a reader for sending the photo above. Back in September there was some scuttlebutt that Ben’s would be opening a third location in the original Ray’s the Steaks space at 1725 Wilson Blvd. Ben’s is also opening another location at the corner of 10th and H Street, NE.

Brand dilution. Bad idea.

  Absolutely. When someone opens a Wilson Blvd location you know they’ve jumped the shark.

Don’t you mean Rays Hell Burger?

  Was it originally Ray’s Hell Burger before it was the original home to Ray’s the Steaks?

    It was Ray’s the Steaks many years ago (early 2000’s). Then Ray’s Hellburger after Ray’s the Steaks moved around the corner (2009?). There’s a possibility it may have also been another Ray’s before or after the Hellburger.
