“It’s bussin bussin bussin bussin“

“The classic chili spaghetti lived up to its reputation—well-seasoned chili over tender spaghetti with a mountain of shredded cheese on top. Simple, filling, and affordable. The casual, no-frills setting makes it a go-to for a quick, satisfying meal when you’re in the city“

“good chicken at a hood price“

“Ive been too many times to count, a amazing location just off the road. If you've never had skyline chill then stop right in, if you have then this location is amazing. Ive never had any issues from the at least 100 times ive been here. Staff is friendly and inviting and the food is always cooked well and good.“

“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.“

“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 ???“

“The food is always fresh & hot. Staff is friendly and efficient.
Note: I do wish they would use a deli type paper liner for the food to be placed on since they use a Styrofoam box. Usually, the food is so hot that the Styrofoam is melted by the hot chicken & fries. I have emailed the corporate office with this suggestion. I think all the restaurants serve the takeout in Styrofoam boxes. My solution for now is to pull over in the parking lot and put paper napkins under the hotel food before taking it home.
No stars off. However, corporate need to make this change across the chain.“

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

“So I've been coming through the drive thru for about a week trying to get a gallon of sweet tea and Anna with the pretty blue eyes went out of her way and got me together mixing non sweet with sweet just to make it a gallon. YOUR AWESOME ANNA. also this location is not only good but skyline is the best choice out of any walnut hills restaurant but this location specifically is the most family friendly, clean , respectful, and responsible location ive been to in a while I haven't had a bad experience yet so thank you and great Job“

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

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

“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! 👏“

“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!“

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

“It’s a fast food place in a strip mall. Not sure how to rate atmosphere, it was clean and decent. I had chili dogs and tried the chili bowl. I like chili and chili hotdogs with cheese so I gave it 5 stars. Maybe not the best I’ve ever had the chili is a little sweet for what I usually have but it was still good. They had a drive through and takeout, optional sit down service was a surprise. The great attitude of the staff was nice and the complete opposite of restaurant staff here in California. It’s the kind of food you’d get at a county fair but I sort of expected that when I went in. Overall I thought it was great and inexpensive.“

“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.“

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

“A regular fast food experience, the chicken fingers were crispy and crunchy. I am not a huge fan of the Canes sauce. The customer service was good not great, I think this location needs to do more with a Chick-fil-eh right across the street. They are the gold standard for customer service and they have a long ways to get to that type of service and customer experience.“

“Goldstar is f****** delicious“

“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. 😋 😋“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 ❣️“

“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 ❤️“

“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 💕“

“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“

“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. 😋“

“Skyline always hits the spot. This location wasn't busy and we got right in. Several tables were filthy. We had to wipe down our own table. Waitress was a young HS girl and the service was average at best. The chili and cheese coneys definitely made up for all of it and it was all good. Been 10 months since I sat down and had Skyline. The chili was GOOOOOD and those cheese coneys even better.“

“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!“

“Big fan of Chick-fil-A but as I traveled around 5,000 miles this summer I’m various trips and visited a few chick Fila’s across the country I realized the Oakley Chick-fil-A has very small chicken patties for breakfast and other meals. I was shook in Erie when an actually thick plump patty was on my sandwich. I’m not sure what may make one Chick-fil-A have tiny pieces of chicken on sandwiches as opposed to one that doesn’t but just something I noticed in my travels.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Very hot and quick service“

“COA would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for Topped Fries Food Truck exceptional service today. Their prompt and thorough responses to all of my inquiries were invaluable and truly made a difference. The delicious food options they provided was outstanding, receiving nothing but rave reviews from our staff. We look forward to having you back again.“

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

“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!“

“great COFFEE, & my favorite is breakfast sausage cheese & egg“

“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.“

“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“

“Great food!! It felt like home. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and will eat there again. Definitely! Greens are off the chain! 👍🏾💪🏽😊“
