Skyline Chili Reviews

Not bad. Visiting tourist. But I wouldnt go back again. Got the 5 way chili and an andoiulle sausage coney. Staff was wonderful !

Friendly waitress. The food is kind of blah... However I recommend that you try this place if you re visiting Cincinnati.

The chilli here is one of the best you will have. The chilli is like no other

Service was great (our server gave us gift bags as first timers), we were served quickly. Greek salad was good, but I wasn't a fan of the chili (sorry Cincinnati).

Such fantastic food and customer service. We loved this place

Cincinnati For Those Who Don't Know is the Capital of America's Zilli Although Zilli is a Texas food and it is the most considered place to eat goose in the city. The most delicious dish is spaghetti on spaghetti that completely defines the ultimate American oil. It is therefore highly recommended to eat once and then be hospitalized for catheterization

In my opinion, this is simply the best Skyline location in terms of food quality. The spaghetti is cooked right, the crackers are consistently fresh, the hot sauce has the kick its supposed to, and the chili is flavorful as it should be. Other skylines water down their chili. This one does not. The best Skyline you can get.

Definitely not my cup of tea...er..chilli. service was great!

It's ok, if you want a small hot dog. I thought it would be a beef, larger hot dog.

Great service with a smile and wonderful chili for all. The bibs we got made for a funny photo opportunity. Nice to try some of the best fast food chili in the city where it was founded. Highly recommend when in downtown Cincy.

It's an interesting idea, but if you go to Cincinnati then you must try this before leaving. It's all anyone can talk about.

Always one of my favorite things to do while visiting Cincinnati is eat at Skyline. Great Coney's and one of the best Greek salads I've ever had

Whenever you're feeling good and hungry.... its skyline time! I've been to many locations... this one definitely does not disappoint.

The Coney Bowl was great, so good I ordered a second one.

They don't tell you that they charge for every cup of coffee$1.50. NO REFILLS because they are using a Keurig. How does that make it for us to pay every single cup??? It's ALL BS !!!!! Don't get the coffee unless you ain't gonna leave a tip. That's the only I will be able to afford a second cup! DISGUSTED

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Skyline Chili, but the prices they charge causes me to look elsewhere when going out to eat. Not sure which is rising faster: cost of a cheese coney or the cost of a college education.

Skyline Chili....is Cincinnati in flavor town country. It is a must if you are in Cincy. Never had a bad experience (7th and Vine). Good quick service at a good price.

Kinda disappointed in the FAMOUS SKYLINE CHILI!! It just wasn't what we expected.

Not quite up to par. Ordered the two cheese coneys and when I got them the buns were just mush. The upside was that the service was good.

Great place to get some good Cincinnati style sauce.

One of my favorite restaurants! This downtown location has great people and the manager there definitely runs a tight ship. I unfortunately am not happy with their standard of their extreme cheese blend, but it does due for my work week. Good service and makes the place favorable.

This Skyline is popular lunch spot for my office. While some might suggest a facelift, many like it just the way it is--including me.

great location to meet with friends. the bill was fair for the quality of the food.

You haven't been to Cincinnati until you try the chili at Skyline!

Food was great. Our server was awesome. Close to Fountain square. Clean

Skyline chili is like no other chili. When I need to get my Skyline fix on, I slide in here, sit at the counter, and eat a three way and cheese coney. Always good service.

When in Cincinnati you must try Skyline Chili! I tasted clove, nutmeg and a little cinnamon. it was definitely unique. I very much enjoyed it!

The line is, you either hate it or love it. Well, all three Goodmans loved it, including the 5 yr old.

My first time trying Cincinnati chili. Quick and friendly service with decent food.

Always busy, but the staff are great. I have never felt rushed. This is often a problem downtown at lunchtime. Food quality very high. Right on bus line for Route 33. I like to stop at least every other week on my way to work for lunch.

Delicious chili and great staff. Good place to take kids!

Good service came in half hour before close still didn't feel rushed.

Slow service(45+minutes) Food was cold when served. Refills not offered. Worst Slyline experience I've ever had.

Quite possibly the WORST stuff I have EVER had in my entire life. I cannot even bring myself to call it food as it smelled like canned Skippy Dog food. We travel a lot and like to try the local fair wherever we go. We have had some very unusual foods and combinations over our years and miles of traveling. Some we loved and others, well, not so much. So, with our usual sense of adventure, we boldly went where no Texan should ever go, and I mean EVER. We kept an open mind because we knew from prior experience that the term "chili" can be applied liberally to many different dishes, all of which their creators insist as being "authentic". However, we do come to expect some kind of "chili" to be present in the dish. Just some, any kind, somewhere. We knew it wouldn't have that kick we love here in the South, and that was okay, but what it was was nothing like any kind of "food" any of us had ever had. It was a completely tasteless pile of something that looked a lot like what I used to clean out of the kennels of sick dogs. The grey tinged "spaghetti" only added to the macabre giving the impression of an infestation of round worms. There was no chili taste to it at all. We grimly chewed through about three forkfuls before we all gave up (we were all hungry and were hoping it might improve on us, like I said, we are adventurous). The bright side was that the cheese was a fairly good quality cheddar (not the American processed stuff I actually expected) and it was served with packaged oyster crackers, and those are pretty hard to mess up. Sorry Ohio, but your signature chili spaghetti completely defeated my hungry family, and that is a first in our over 27 years and 50,000 + miles of traveling together. I'm hoping we just came on a bad day...but it's going to take a lot to get me near any kind of chili spaghetti again, adventurous or not, my stomach staged an all out revolt on this experience.

Cool little piece of Cincinnati! We enjoyed our visit!

So many people told me to come here on my visit to Cincinnati and I'm so glad I did. Food was excellent and the Chili was awesome. I have never had this kind of chili before so the flavors were knew to me but I really enjoyed it and will surely come here again.

These workers are so intelligent yet friendly for each time I'm to show up @ skyline, they'll already tend to know what I'll be getting... I only luv this restaurant to choose,for the best an still ALWAYS will keep comin...its that Coney Bowl !

30 minute plus wait for drinks.

...Still waiting.

Chili was good. The combination was a bit strange for me with spaghetti and onions.

Food was hot and fresh, no long wait even order food to go

The staff was above and beyind exceptional. Give those folks a raise. As an out of town visitor, they welcomed us in, caught us up on the menu and were just all around great. Even though we arrived 35 minutes before closd, they treated us as we were the best part of their day.

I was told by many people not to miss it while visiting, but I couldn't eat it.

This place is the quintessential Cincinnati. The Skyline chili was invented in the 50s right here by a gentleman of Greek origin, hence the peculiar mix of spices. In truth it is a kind of overcooked and very watery stew, incredibly overcooked spaghetti and a mountain of plastic cheddar. It is not for everyone, but if you are drunk at 3am it is what you need. Don't expect anything from the service, which is terribly quick.

Downtown skyline is a must hit up place for good food, at great prices, and fast service.

It was a typical Skyline Cincinnati chili I had Cheese Coneys If you are from out of town try our chili

Great place and great service. Food was awesome and the employees were great!

Its Cincinnati's chilli. It wasn't bad, just something I'm not used to. It's still worth giving it a try if you plan on being in Cincinnati. The price for what I ordered seemed fair.

2 stars instead of 1 because of the extraordinary fast service, but this is fast food what do you expect? 1 star because this isn't chili like ive ever seen, its a soupy watered down substance with gosh knows what as a mystery meat. They serve it with entirely way too much cheese, and its not even melted, disgusting!!! Their salads are alright, but lesson learned, ya don't go to a greasy fast food place to get healthy food.

Quaint little place. Incredibly old school inside with the bar wrapping around the grill. This was my first taste of Cincinnati chili, I'd say not bad. Our server was great, the service is incredibly fast, and the portions are quite generous.So in my time in Cincinnati, I've met two types of people. One, who love Skyline "chili" and absolutely swear by it, and recommend this place every other time you hang out with them.

Friendly wait staff. I had chili with spaghetti, 5-way. It was very tasty.

Yummy skyline. Extra cheese. Hard to spot from sidewalk.

Quick and friendly service... A fun way to have Cincinnati chili

Not exactly a healthy choice but something you should probably try in Cincinnati. It seems to be a thing; chilli with spaghetti. The service here is really good. Very friendly and helpful if you're unsure of what's being served. My server was absolutely amazing and very funny. My suggestion is to ask them for a quarter of the cheese they would normally put but the locals around me thought it was odd that I scooped most of it away. Regardless, it is something you should definitely try at least once in your visit.
