“It’s bussin bussin bussin bussin“

“It was hopping when I was there today: families with children, college kids, a whole cross-section of society. This is a smaller store but they moved quickly and staff were friendly. Had my requisite 5-way. Skyline is still the best chili in Cincinnati! Help the digestion by taking a walk down the Gaslight District on Ludlow or Burnet Woods across the street“

“This evening I placed a to go order and had the pleasure of being serviced by a young man named Tye. Tye’s customer service was outstanding! Not only did he provide service with a smile but he was also pleasant, professional and thorough. He realized that I left without having my chili and he ran out to catch me before I left the premises. Thank you, Tye for being so awesome!“

“good chicken at a hood price“

“In Cincinnati for a Reds game. I was told I had to try Skyline chili. I tried a couple of conies and they were delicious. I saw someone next to me order a 3-way and it looked excellent! My server was Ryan… great dude and super helpful helping me understand the menu ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“When I went into this restaurant they gave me lollipops to choose from and they handed my mom something like in a box. It was a mystery and then when we opened it it was cheesesteak and it was Oreo cheesecake. So that was yummy. And I had the hot dog and it was fine. I also had fries which were pretty good. They had this cool display of license plates from other states. and their drinks were really good. I had Pepsi which was nice and the tables were clean so that was good. That's why I recommend you eat here.“

“We loved our Cincinnati Chili at Skyline. My husband had the Coney bowl, my.mother in law had the small 4-way and I had a Greek salad 🥗 with Chili added. 😋 😋“

“Love Gold Star, Great Food , Friendly Staff.“

“Always pleasant staff. Keep up the good work.“

“Stopped in before the Reds game to try AJ’s. I mean, I’m a Philly guy and my name is AJ and I love cheesesteaks. So, we gave AJ’s a try. Let’s just say that although we weren’t in Philly, the steak was still top notch! It’s a little bit of home, here in Ohio. I’d like to say it’s my favorite Ohio steak. Thanks AJ! We will be back. BTW… the AJ Fries were awesome! 👏“

“First time trying this chain in Cincinnati, and it was all worth it! The Greek style chili was delicious, and the place was packed inside and at the drive-through. We will have to come back for a sit-down experience. Staff were super friendly.“

“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!“

“Always fast and friendly service with the great Skyline taste“

“Loved the chicken. Perfectly seasoned, hot, and crisp as were the fries. The texas toast is also really good and was a pleasant surprise. My only complaint was the slaw. It was almost right, but needed a bit more vinegar and sugar. The cane sauce......not a fan.“

“They were having an audit. She was very thorough, and they
were looking like they were doing very good. Busy store, and a training store apparently. They seem to be getting it right. Don't overlook them, well worth the stop. Fingers finest.“

“Goldstar is f****** delicious“

“This is an alright Five guys with good food and good service. I normally don’t do national chains much when I’m in Cincinnati, but when it’s the only option I usually go for this Five Guys. It’s definitely worth going to if you like Five Guys.

Dietary restrictions: PEANUTS! PEANUTS EVERYWHERE! If you have a peanut allergy, then stay away.

Parking: Really big parking lot.“

“I mean... It's Skyline Chili. If you live near one you already know the deal. This one does have particularly great staff that have never let me down in the last 10 years of this being my most local one.

For anyone not familiar with Cincinnati chili, is more of a sauce than a standalone meal. Food selection is mostly chili dogs, spaghetti, fries, with a few salad options and wraps.

Is it a 5 star meal? No. This is Cincinnati comfort food. But in terms of the quality of all the above grading points they have never done me wrong.“

“Just yummy.. Lots of memories from this place… Rocks..“

“I ❤️ the staff at the Reading skyline. there was a manager lady that was crappie to me about a gallon of tea. on Nov. 9th at openg time. needless to say Megan is our favorite waitress, we ask for her ❣️“

“Amazing staff! Big portions, made just right! everything was hot and delicious! 🥰🥰“

“We had Stephen, he was very polite and personable and definitely recommend him!“

“Love Skyline! Wish we had one closer to home!“

“The best gyro I've had in a LONG time and for great prices! Will definitely be back again ❤️“

“The owner is a great man who loves the Lord, and taught me the power of scriptures & having a foundation of scriptures in our hearts. The restaurant business is tough & It requires a great team to accomplish great service. Its almost impossible these days to find trusted reliable People. Even when its not his fault he has to be responsible when others make mistakes. Food is very important. The owner genuinely cares about the quality of food he serves & quality service. The next time you visit skyline, you should share your favorite scriptures with him. He really enjoy that ???“

“Hot and cooked fast. Location here was better than any one in Cincinnati which is home to this chili spot

Kid-friendliness: Drive thru worker was friendly, knowledgeable with great customer service.

Parking: Marked and clearly visible parking spots“

“I order from this skyline a lot and not only are my orders always right and yummy, the staff is also super sweet! When I opened my food this evening someone had included a bit of candy with my cheese and it almost made me cry, it was so sweet and kind and made my whole night so much better! So thank you skyline! 100/10 💕“

“What a thrilling experience: I went to the bathroom and it smelled good. While in the bathroom i suddenly felt like I was dying of thirst, so I ordered a drink, and, wow, they gave me free iced tea, what a totally not-at-all-standard perk. Plus my food tasted good too so they get all the stars“

“went to Swensons on Madison road in Cincinnati ohio. We had been meaning to try this since it open. We were a little disappointed in the serving size of the fries, Double cheese burger, and Fried bologna sandwich. Taste wise it was great. Service was fast and friendly. I'd recommend to anyone but I'd definitely recommend to double your order if you want enough to eat.“

“The service there was great. It was my first time at Goldstar and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food and the service. I want to say our servers name was Kathy, she was super nice, fun to talk with, and very attentive. I had the parmesan fries and they were great. Overall, would recommend a visit“

“We came from out of town and were told we had to try the three way. We stopped in at Skyline Chili. Our waitress Emma L. helped us figure out what we should order. Emma was the best! Unfortunately a table of furries seated next to us was so incredibly rude to Emma. They were loud, obnoxious and quite frankly creepy. Emma waited on them like they weren’t garbage humans. Awesome job Emma, don’t let people like that get to you :)“

“Our food was delicious and our waitress was so awesome! Everyone in there was so friendly!“

“Finneytown crew never disappoints from the welcoming they give as you come in the door to the very end of your meal. Food always so hot and delicious. 😋“

“This location offered excellent service! We did not have to wait in the drive through for an extended period of time like we have experienced at other Skyline locations, and the food was hot and fresh! We will definitely be revising this location in the future!“

“As a true Cincinnatian, Skyline Chili runs through my veins. Literally- Good/bad cholesterol is subjective in my opinion. Once a month, I bathe in a tub of Skyline Chili, topped with neon orange cheese, to clear my pores and improve my chakras. We are currently bottle feeding our newborn daughter Skyline chili. Our doctor said that it’s probably a bad idea, but she’s originally from Pittsburgh, so I don’t trust her. Anyways, I can’t wait to have her quinceañera and wedding at this location one day. It may be nostalgia, but the Oakley and Clifton locations are my favorite Skylines.“

“Very hot and quick service“

“Great food, friendly service!“

“I drive from south side of Indianapolis every 1-2 weeks to get food as it is so much better than food options near me.“

“This Wendy’s location is great! I love getting a juicy Dave’s classic double and the kids crush chicken nuggets and fries every time that we come here. The self serve soda machine with the billion choices was an unplanned bonus! The staff is always friendly and helpful. The restaurant was clean and recently went through a renovation. We will definitely be back!“

“Had to try a Cincinnati three way while in town. I was whelmed. It's a sit-down, family-style restaurant with a drive-thru window, and the food is basically ready the instant you order it. So is it fast food, or family dining? Although there's a clear fast food counter to order when entering, a host greeted me, sat me, took my order, and brought my food. Honestly, the whole experience was bewildering. But the server was fun, and the food was all right. The main oddity was the cook f-bombing right and left with his co-workers, and it's not like the cook area is hidden or anything. Way to really lean into that *family* vibe, guys.“

“In my opinion, this White Castle location is among the top in the city. Each time I've visited, the food has been served hot and fresh, and the staff has consistently provided remarkable customer service! In an era where exceptional service is increasingly rare, it's refreshing to encounter.
With my background in customer-focused roles, I can confidently say that this location exceeds expectations. I would like to extend my sincere appreciation for the outstanding service, enthusiasm, and positive vibes!“

“I'm disappointed that here in 2021 where people aren't wearing masks that this location is still not allowing indoor seating“

“My son is 5, but he’s practically been eating skyline since he could stomach solids! Every celebration or even a special “lunch/dinner date” HAS to be skyline! We get our skyline from Kroger too and he has it about 4-5 times a week at home! He even says he wants to work at skyline when he’s older! He is truly skyline’s biggest fan! 📣📣“

“went to JITB for my first time ever and this location was it. the service was so good. the cashier was so kind. food was made fresh and hot. tiny tacos exceed my expectations.“

“Met Tina the other day at Mt Washington, super nice a great new addition to the newly remodeled location. I heard that the Bengals were going with Skyline at the stadium. I hope this does NOT mean the end of buy one get one 3 ways on Mondays after the game ? Thanks Kevin.“

“The food is delicious A+“

“I get my salad every week at Lucky Dog, Murphy my dog is always welcome, they are good people. everything in my salad is always fresh and reasonably priced. The salads have a-lot of filling protein and flavor. If you eat downtown regularly you know a fresh salad with enough filling protein is hard to find for $7. Lucky Dog makes my everyday work life bearable. Also they sell the biggest fountain drink for the lowest price. and cheesecake. 🏆😉They have my loyalty“

“Came here after church with family and found we had no issues getting a table for four. Servers were very friendly and food service was faster than I've seen anywhere. This skyline in particular was borderline fast food. If you like skyline this location is definitely up there with best restaurants.“
