“I love the chicken!!!!!!!“

“Loved it!!! Food was great but service was even better ! KATELIN, KATELIN, KATELIN!!!! We shall return!“

“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“

“Five Guys has the cleanest stores and the best burgers, dogs and fries. everything is fresh and orders are always accurate.“

“One of the best burgers joints out there. Perfectly cooked and any topping you want. Love their Cajun fries! Only problem is their PRICING. For 3 people our bill was almost $50. Also annoying was when you put your credit card in the machine a tip was asked for. Sorry...but NO TIPS when table service is not provided. But....great burgers.“

“A few regular employees who have taken our order over the years go above and beyond to make sure my son's (who has food allergies) food is prepped as requested. The few times there have even been the slightest question of safety or miscommunication in the kitchen, they have remade his food with no problem. The employees are always so kind, friendly and understanding, and this is so appreciated!“

“Spicy chicken: Good, the ? is 3 out of 5 to me. You can see the red spice. Spicy party wings are great. Regular chicken: A bit too salty. Fish: Good. Fried okra: Delicious ! Wedges: So good ! Red beans & rice: Delicious & vegan. Corn bread: Deliciously buttery & soft. Yams: Good & sweet. Mac & Cheese: Needs richer cheese. Taste ok with yams. Greens: Taste ok with mac & ch. Mash potatoes: Fine w/o gravy. $6.99- 2pc. (Breast & Leg), 1 side & cornbread. 2 breast meal is $7.99.“

“Very good service food great love the chicken and sauce ❤️“

“Been a fan for years, this one by far best experience and customer service I’ve had. Bring on to nashville, I’ll invest.“

“I needed a last minute HUGE order I got online and placed the order for pick up I arrived a bit early, but they immediately started counting my order Offered me a soda while waiting Had a nice chat with me about what the food was for Offered their condolences for our loss And carried the order out and put in my car for me The manager and the crew were so super kind We’ll definitely be returning Thanks so much Colerain! We appreciate you 🙏🏻😀“

“First time trying Cincinnati Chili and I was pleasantly surprised: I loved it! Great flavor. I got the 5 way which is an addition of onions and beans.
The service was nice and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience start to finish. Will return.“

“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.“

“Great location, great company, and staff. I sat down and almost immediately asked what was I drinking. I’ve been eating skyline for a while but this rivals my favorite location in the Dayton area. Thank you for the great service and food!“

“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“

“my son and I had a boys night out. Food was delived quickly, thank you Sophia 😊 . food was amazing. When we walked out, a waiter was I believe a bit mad at where we sat because I moved the hot sauce 2 inches.
anyways, amazing service, once again, thanks Sophia. watch out if you see a waiter with curls“

“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.“

“Just ordered Bubbakoo's today and Chipotle no longer exists to me. This restaurant outdoes them in every way. I would marry this restaurant if I could. I ordered a taco salad with fried cauliflower and I melted as soon as I took my first bite. The crispiness of the cauliflower was perfectly complimented by the perfectly cooked beans, delicious sauce and guacamole. The way my food was packaged made it feel like I was opening a present. I think I'm in love.

Vegetarian options: Fried cauliflower is available and super delicious.“

“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 ???“

“When I was entering your establishment, I was bring it immediately with a smile and options on your menu. Since I've never been to your restaurant before. Congratulations on having such an exquisite staff and nice place to come and eat.It won't be the last time.“

“good chicken at a hood price“

“Good eats... Classic Cincinnati Chili, Burgers and Salads combine for a diverse menu, served by friendly and caring crew members. Easy parking and convenient location.“

“First time there and had the chicken sandwich meal, which was amazing 👏 😋 The only thing I didn't appreciate was being charged 75 cents for each sauce, without being told beforehand! Call Me cheap if ya want, I just wanted them to at least share that tid bit of information with Me so I would have been able to make an informed decision regarding said sauce! Jkjkjkjk ❤️“

“First experience it was great & delicious“

“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 ❣️“

“Goldstar is f****** delicious“

“Literally have never had anything bad from here, 10 out of 10 would recommend“

“Great food and great service!!“

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

“Food was okay but as a classic staple for the city. This is not the kind of restaurant that you go to for the food, but instead for the service and hospitality. They offer a vegetarian chili which is appreciated, however it greatly lacked in flavor.
I had the 5-way with jalapeños while my partner had the vegetarian 5-way and it was honestly below average.
Overall great service and atmosphere.“

“Very casual diner with excellent service. As we travel, we try to hit what each city is known for and Skyline Chili hit the spot. We had the Chili 3 way over Pasta and a few Chilitos. Everything was really good. Big shoutout to Ms Tabby who took her time with us newbies. You were awesome! Follow us @WanderingParents“

“I love colerain skyline! We come here a lot and we always sit in Chasity’s section she is always awesome! She goes above and beyond to make sure the kids are happy and when the kids are happy the parents are even more happy! So thank you Chasity for being awesome at what you do and making people feel special and thank you skyline for serving delicious tasting food!“

“It seems that inflation has caused the deflation of the cheese coney. 🤦🏻‍♀️“

“the GOAT White Castle the best“

“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.“

“It's skyline, so the food was great as usual. The main thing I wasn't a fan of, was that they removed the salt shakers from the table. Once I realized that, I had to wait to get my server's attention to bring me several packets. It might be nitpicking but that was the only issue I had.“

“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.“

“This iconic Cincinnati chili restaurant Skyline did not disappoint! We visited the local Oakley store, obviously a very busy location as the staff were working quickly and politely.

This very casual, low key almost fast food restaurant has good diner eats for nostalgic Americana with the full origin story of creator and Greek native - American dreamer, Adeeb Mislch

You can enjoy the Coney dog with/or without the chili done 3-4-5 way. To find out the difference you’ll have to visit. They also had summer special ice cream floats and funnel fries as well as small treats at the front. With tons of food under $30 for two in today’s restaurant eateries that’s a great value. Thanks for my first but not last visit to Skyline!“

“Amazing cakes, cookies, and pastries and we've always been greeted with friendly service. Servatii is our go-to bakery.“

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

“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.“

“You have no idea what you've done to me.

I can't stop thinking about Skyline Chili.

I live nearly 10 hours away from the closest location.

I'm considering moving to Ohio or Kentucky just for this franchise.

Skyline Chili, you've ruined my life, my appetite and my desire for any other cuisine. Thank you.“

“Ordered a large 3 way and usually I love Skyline but I asked for extra juicy but got mostly spaghetti and cheese and it was dry and very little chili this time.
I love Skyline and would usually rate it a 5 star but with it dry and mostly pasta and cheese I am taking it to 4 star.
Love Skyline still but was a little disappointed“

“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 fast and pleasant service. The food was great and arrived piping hot.

I have to say though, I don’t like the modern styling of this Skyline. Everything is grey, and it feels very corporate and cold.

I would eat at this location again.“

“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. 😋“

“The service was on Point and very smooth! The employees was very soft spoken and polite. And the food OMG was cooked perfectly and was delicious. Highly recommend this White Castle was the best one I’ve been to in Ohio and I’ve been all over ohio eating !!

Parking: Parking was small but was on both sides of the store so plenty of parking.

Kid-friendliness: Very clean and friendly place to eat.“

“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“
