Empress Chili is a legendary spot on the Coney tour, known for their amazing Delhi chili and cheese coney. The staff is friendly, and the flavors are homemade, making it a favorite for generations. The first Cincinnati chili has become the best Cincinnati chili again, with generous portions and great texture that highlight actual spice flavor instead of grease. With plenty of free parking, kid-friendly options, and easy wheelchair access, Empress Chili is a must-visit for authentic Cincinnati chili.
During Cincinnati Chili week, visitors can enjoy the specials, and friendly service makes the experience even better. The menu features standard items with a few added twists. Customers order at the counter, and the staff will bring the food out. While the food quality remains high, a small issue has been noted regarding how the bags are tied shut tightly, making it difficult to check the food before leaving. A suggestion has been made to improve this process, but overall, the food continues to receive praise.
