“Good stuff, good service. Never a terrible wait......the staff is pretty efficient. I can see why they have been there forever and a day.Parking: Limited number of spaces and not the greatest of neighborhoods. Not sure about handicap parking, even though the shop and lot are handicap accessible.Kid-friendliness: It's an ice cream shop. If that isn't kid friendly I don't know what is.Wheelchair accessibility: It's all at ground level. There isn't a step or even an incline to traverse. So should be handicap friendly. Not sure about handicap parking though.“
“Absolutely fantastic food, service, and atmosphere. Modern diner vibe with mouthwatering burgers, delicious boozy milkshakes, and the best, most tender, juciest fried chicken I've ever had.Parking: You can usually find street parking nearby“
“Was sooo hungry and delicious that I ate it before I could take a pic. The burger is amazing with tots!Parking: When you turn into the lot before the restaurant if you go all the way to the left, there are signed parking spots for the restaurant that is FREE“
“I have been going to and enjoying Mr. Gene's Doghouse for 42 years, worked in a small machine shop down the road, people lined up 15-20 deep the last week of the season in 1981 to get the Hot Chilli Cheese Mets...by far the best in Cincinnati and are still to this day!“
“The San Francisco dog is vegan and so good. You wouldn't think hummus and guac would be good but it is. The tots are even great. Oniony and flavorful. Service is great. The place is a hole in the wall in the middle of houses. Off the beaten path of mainstrasse. Not too far though. Just a couple blocks. I bet it is a popular local spot.“
“Great food and even better service. He is such a friendly fellow. I enjoyed a short talk and am so impressed with what he's done.Parking: Paid to park..wanted a.hotdog was 2 bucks in the public lot. Drove around and little to no free or cheap parking. His spot is right by the courthouse so it's understandable.“
“Our Waitress is fabulous!! She gave us samples of the chili. It is delicious. She brought our to go cups, without our even asking. I completely enjoyed the Cheese Coney and fries. The funnel fries were the perfect desert. I Definitely recommend!!“
“My family was visiting Newport Aquarium and after we left we found Mad Mike’s to eat. We ordered 2 of the Big Tex burgers and chicken tenders. These were the best burgers we have ever had and my son loved the chicken tenders. The service was great and the employee we encountered was amazing.“
“I had never been to a Skyline Chili. I proudly declared to the manager who rushed over to convert me to the Cincinnati area famous chili. He explained the differences between skyline and other types of chili and some of the nuances of the chili like we were in some sort of quasi wine tasting. Personally I was 100% there for it. I ended up ordering 3 coney dogs, one with jalapeño cheese on it to go. It was late and I had to get back to my hotel, people were waiting on me, or else I would have stayed and enjoyed the quaint diner on the end of a strip mall that serves chili late at night…. The atmosphere was a clean place that oddly reminded me of the 90’s but was well taken care of. As I returned to my hotel I ate all three coney dogs quickly. They. Were. Delicious. The jalapeño cheese was maybe not as spicy as I would have expected but they put hot sauce in the bag that was well used. Overall, I can see the appeal of the chili place, for a chili that doesn’t have beans in it.Food was great! Staff was extremely helpful! This skyline chili is open late!“
“One of the best home made chili dogs and lemonade I’ve had in awhile! Stopped at this food truck on our way to our car after the FC game!! The owners were so nice and their homemade chili dog and lemonade was delicious! If you see their food truck make sure to stop and check out their menu! You won’t be disappointed!“
“I know there a lot of diehard fans of Skyline Chili, so I visited more out of curiosity than anything! Let's try this famous chili that folks are always raving about! To be honest, I'm not sure that I totally get it, but it was good (not amazing?) and I'm glad I tried it. I feel like satisfying my curiosity was enough for me though, and I would probably opt for other options over Skyline in future visits to Cincinnati. I stopped into this location at kind of a weird time in the middle of the afternoon, after any lunch crowd and before a reasonable dinner time. As such, it was pretty much empty and I had my choice of seating. I got the vibe that this is likely a location frequented by people who work in the area. I got the famous/signature 4-way, spaghetti covered with chili, diced onions, and a mound of shredded cheese. I also tried a chili cheese coney sandwich. I wasn't sure if this was the right amount to order or not, since prices seemed too low for a meal. However, this was definitely the right amount for me. It didn't look super big but it's very filling. I also got hot sauce to drizzle on top which I really liked! I'm not sure my stomach was too happy about the whole meal though, haha. I happily finished the whole thing.“
“When in…You eat chili. Skyline might not be the OG but it is still iconic and accessible. No where you find yourself in the Queen City.Personally, noodles are my least favorite delivery method for chili to taste buds. But, icons existing for a reason. Even though the chili is a little sweet for my liking, the chili dogs are a wiener (see what I did there) and the service is great!Legends exist for a reason!“
“Went on st Patty's day. Dined it. Waitress got really busy so not we weren't attended to often after we got our food, good thing it's good Ole skyline and you don't need much more then the perfection I ordered. Also had a takeout cup so easily refilled before leaving. Loved the green spaghetti!!!Wheelchair accessibility: There's wheel chair access into restaurants and tables to be say at comfortably“
“Dixie Chili has been around since 1927 years and was opened only a few years after empress...The Newport location is the one I was taken to.by my uncle when I was a kid.I have not had it in years... but I made a point to go there cause I always remember it as DELICIOUS... AND IT WASI visited today and we shared some stuff.You walk in order and take your tray down the line and get your drinks then food... and if it's a lil longer prep they'll tell you they bring it out to you...The Cheese ConeyThe overall experience is wonderful.The taste great...First thing you notice is the bun is soft and not super dense... its not like the dense dry buns from local large chains...It's not too dry not too moist.. then theres the chili... its very good and they put an ample portion on a coney "so hunch over when eating cause it could drip out the back that's a good thing" they put a light coat of onion so not overpowering.. and the mustard was just right... not too much or too sour... then thers the soft Tuft of cheese piled on top...Their chili doesn't have a spicy kick so it's just satisfying... although a lil hot sauce on it later proved to pair well with the chili like it activated the spices in your mouth for a new flavor..."I recommend try without hotsauce first"THE CHILI CHEESE FRIES ...OMG...I will say no matter where you go chili cheese fries are expensive...BUT they use WAFFLE FRIES!this was a whole new texture I never knew I needed in my life.They are crisp and the chili and cheese attop them is so good and easier to eat than others... "again try without hotsauce first"We also ordered chili cheese sandwiches so that means no hotdogsBut you get more cheese and it seemed a lil more onion on them.Delicious....oh BTW the hotdogs in the coneys where dense they tatsed and had mouth feel of a good quality wiener.We had to try a side of Gyro meat cause at this point we where getting full and couldn't do a full gyro... cause from what we saw they are a decent size.So a side with a side of Taziki...The meat was very good and the taziki is outstanding with the meat...We of course got the large drinks with the plastic cup to take home...I want to go back and have their 3 and 4 way... one thing I was impressed with was the oyster crackers...Westminster Bakers Co.Is the brand they have and It literally is a game changer...They have a subtle density and crispness that doesn't instantly turn mushy in soup, chili, or Cincinnati chili....Another reason I need to come back...Also they are not cheap... a big bag is twice the price of other brands.... that is for good reason...I swear whole foods is gonna catch on to how many small packs I take when I get their soup lol... that brand of oyster Cracker is the bomb...So if you like quality... dixi chili does it right... and personally I think it should be Dixie Chili and empress chili fighting for dominance... not goldstar and skyline...There are four chilli places I think that are better than those two brands .... cause skyline ain't it especially on quality lately... they buns too dry...Vegetarian options: They make vegetarian chili tooParking: There is a free lot about 3 stores downAlso a mix of free and paid street parkingKid-friendliness: Lots of kids options and amenities“
“Food was served really quickly.It has a unique taste as we were expecting tomatoey-bolognese style but it tasted very very beefy. We got the 4-way with onions.The taste would be more cohesive if the cheese melted along with the heat of the food, but it was just sitting on top. So it felt like we were eating the ingredients individually.“
“I really like skyline, gold Star is my favorite for coneys though, the funnel fries are to die for, they taste just like a funnel cake and it just depends on your taste, both chili's are great, they just have a slightly different tasteParking: Fairly large lot, I'd say about 20 spots in frontKid-friendliness: Kids menuWheelchair accessibility: Handicapped parking right by the front doors“
“Unique restaurant with an environment unlike anything else. Food was very good with unique flavor profile. The chili has an interesting cinnamon sweetness that was good and lots of cheese aided a classic coney dog. Service was good and friendly in a diner setting. If you're in the Cincinnati area, it's worth a stop at one of these locations.“
“I haven't been reviewing much but, I needed to do this one because I haven't. Went inside for a dinner and continue to a fair. Walk in. They tell us to sit down. Order a 3-way. Came out great. As well as chili cheese fries. Did pretty good on that too and ordered a Sprite. But, it concerns me that you can't eat outdoors if it is a nice sunny day or breeze is just right. But overall great staff and service. Partial clean. Food is always hot and doesn't cool down for a while. Don't really disappoint me. Recommend to try this place if you can! It's great for kids, but never seen anyone outdoors. Overall 4/5 and looking forward to seeing more!“
“Attended a 94th birthday party for an Aunt today and these good people couldn't have been more kind. In addition to a menu that had something for every age group, I had the 3 way and it was delicious!, we were permitted to bring cake and gifts as well. This restaurant is spotlessly clean and the staff was accommodating and fun. Skyline is still one of the few places where I feel like I always get my monies worth! As Always, Enjoy!“
“100% recommend! The I've been several times in the past to where I would highly recommend coming here. If you're looking for good food, great variety of brews, and fun atmosphere to hang with friends or family, this is your place! I'm a huge fan of their buffalo wings, loaded chips, and burgers! I was fortunate enough to be the first customer to have a pepperoni pizza off their new stove! It's good and can't wait to see what other kinds of variations happen with the new set up. The service was fantastic and workers were super accommodating. Look forward to when I go again!“
“One of the better Skyline restaurants that I have been to. The service is speedy and the staff is friendly and willing to go the extra mile for customer service. The only drawback is that they have their drive thru on loudspeaker in the restaurant itself allowing diners to hear each and every automobile patron and their order.“
“Best in town by far. Been going for 18 years and have yet to have a bad experience. I've read some of these reviews and they have one little problem and they immediately want it for free. that ain't how the world works. anytime they've messed up i just ask if they can fix it and they do no problem. Great food just a bunch of stuck up people around here.“
“Needed a quick bite to eat while I was in the area. Super fast service, very nice staff, and a very clean restaurant. My cheese coney was so hot I had to let it cool off (not a bad thing)! I always expect the best from Skyline, and this location did not disappoint.“
“Legit some of the best coneys I’ve had. They are good! Also they love sublime and are really nice! Love this place! Will be back again! Super nice people! Remember to swHOOSH on down there and get some coneys! Super convenient parking right infront of the restaurant!“
“Five Guys offers good, loaded burgers and lots of bag fries (even a small can feed two). Really like the small bacon cheeseburger. In addition to standard toppings they offer fresh jalapenos and hot sauce. Get Cajun seasoning on the fries if you like a bit of spice.Finally can't beat Coke Freestyle machines.“
“The staff is very customer service oriented and friendly.The food is fresh and cooked to order with free toppings.High Quality food with fresh quality toppings..Very clean sitting area as the food preparation area.Love being able to watch the preparation of the food.Thank you“
“Went here when were were in town and I was unsurprised. I heard reviews saying that the food was amazing and it is a Cincinnati staple. So I had to see I had to see for myself. I went with me and my family and I had an idea what to expect. Since it was my first time, the lady serving our table helped greatly on what to order. She recommended the Chilitos, and I ordered 2 of them, and I also ordered chili fries later on. The food came out quick (so did our drinks) and the food was amazing. I see why they keep their chili recipe secret, it was amazing! Can't have anyone running around with this recipe. The Chilito itself was really good, but my only complaint was probably the portion size; but that's a corporate issue and not a restaurant one. The chili fries were hot and crispy and the chili with it made it even better. Overall It had a very nice environment and I would recommend to others.“
“It's a skyline. They couldn't screw this up even if they tried. Despite saying that, everything about their service - the manager, the server, the food, paying the bill was exceptional. I don't like eating in strip mall restaurants often, but skyline always knocks it out of the park, especially this one.“
“This is one of the most unique and delicious chili's I've ever had. It has a sweeter taste than other chili's, but it truly does work. Prices are reasonable and they have table service if you sit in. They also have a drive thru.“
“For those that know, Skyline chili has a little more kick than Gold Star (GS is a little sweeter). Had a few coneys, very good and they never skimp on the cheese. Got a side of fries and a side of chili too. All was great. Service was also very good.“
“First time here. It was a very pleasant experience. We had a very conscientious waitress who helped us make our choices. We both thought our food was very good. I ordered deluxe chili with the mountain of cheese on the side, and hubby ordered the chili with spaghetti noodles. 3 way chili.“
“Stopped by here after the Bengals lost to the Texans, food was excellent, service was outstanding, & the restaurant was clean. Waitress was very nice & helpful, she was so gracious enough to sell my brother in law & I a full set of the Skyline Bengals cups, we really appreciated that. Will stop in here again when I'm up that way. Thanks Skyline staff.“
