50 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Cincinnati

“Really enjoyed the food and their habanero hot sauce. Nice place, will be back“

“This place is so good. Our Waitress Amber is so very sweet and very prompt. I'd give this place a try and guarantee you'll be back.“

“This is how I do Raising Cane's: 2 or 3 chicken fingers and a canes sauce. That's all. Their sides aren't the best and their drinks are expensive. Their chicken fingers and sauce are really good so I come here often. If I just get 2 chicken fingers they often pick out 2 larger ones. When I get 3 they often give me slightly smaller ones. The Cane's sauce is awesome!“

“Another great experience...fast...good shakes“

“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“

“good chicken at a hood price“

“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.“

“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.“

“I love Canes! They are by far the best fast food around. Always fresh and delicious. I don't care for the Cane's sauce and it would be nice to have more items put on the menu but when it comes to chicken and french fries this is the place to be.“

“Always love the food from here! The french fries and burgers are amazing! My husband and I got dinner here the other night and we got our order quickly and the food was tasty. One of the best places to go if you're craving a delicious greasy burger!“

“It's pretty repetitive how often I say something is the "best ever" but when trying the Chili at Skyline Chili, I can confidentially say that the Coney Chili Dogs and Chili Pasta are the best ever. Though I was confused on how to eat the spaghetti chili, the helpful waitress told me to angle the plate vertically--not horizontally--while you eat. So that's exactly what I did! And the chilli was filling and very tasteful! A splendid experience in Cincinnati that I've waited nearly two years to try!“

“Decided to go ahead and try this place after reading the reviews. I was impressed hot dogs are simple chili has good flavor and the extreme habanero cheese had good spice. They load the cheese on all items that include it. I would def eat here again if I’m ever around a area that has one“

“We take our little Niece there every Wednesday after school for her ice cream. She lives getting vanilla ice cream in a cup with rainbow sprinkles, chocolate chips and whip cream. The manager always makes sure it is done right and she just puts a big smile on my little nieces face. Makes her day.“

“I think it's better than Gold Star Chili and the employees are way better than the other restaurant I mentioned above. At least the employees at Skyline is way more happier than Gold Star employees that act like they never wanted to be at work.“

“great food. my grandson loved it“

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

“I’d like to say that my husband and I have gone back to the Skyline drive thru near I275 in Colerain to give them another shot (we love eating Skyline) and they’ve been right on. I’m happy to report that the issues of not getting our order right seems to be fixed. Our food was exactly as we ordered it after getting home. We’ve gone through the drive thru 3 more times and no issues, we even added a dish at the window and they didn’t blink an eye. They added the item with friendly service I’d like to say I believe they fixed the problem! Bravo!! Thank you for listening!Note: we did not receive any free food or coupons when we complained so this is verified feedback.“

“Goldstar is f****** delicious“

“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!“

“This place is great I like all cane But this place your service was great. Very friendly staff and for some reason. They brought me out an extra piece of chicken. I don't know if they thought they should've anyone or what I didn't say anything. But I just wanted to give a good review for this place. Because get service was really good smiling and friendly service from Lilly at the counter And the food come out really fast too hot juicy and delicious“

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

“Midday Sunday... Opted for this location than an other for a group size.
The staff was amazing, welcoming, helpful, & always there when needed. Never felt forgotten.

Food was above par.

may go out of my way, & past other locations to come to this one.

Parking: Plenty to park !

Wheelchair accessibility: If needed. You can pull right up. Lots of room“

“This location feels like it is for locals. The food was hot and service was quick. I was pleased with the quality of my conies.

There wasn’t much attention to a clean atmosphere. My booth had been wiped down but the floors were visibly dirty.

Parking: Normal strip mall parking- not restrictive.

Kid-friendliness: Lots of kid options- extremely kid friendly.“

“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 ???“

“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 ❣️“

“Cinnamon mixed in the chilli with spaghetti noodles is just plain weird. I still dont know if I liked it or not lol. It is definitely a cinci thing but when in Rome you get the chilli cheese dog. Loaded with cheese. The chilli burrito was really good I would pick it over the 3 way the next time i hit a skyline up.“

“My personal absolute favorite! Between the two " chili " places known in Cincinnati. Just like the competition, they could stand to add more chili to each " dish " or item you have ordered.Their cheese is SO good. Everything is good! Prices have gotten TOO high! They think as a company they are making more money by doing what they have done and that may be the case but in reality they would be making even more than they are now if it weren't as expensive as it has gotten. Why? Because people like me would come much more often like use to do rather than just every once in a while!When people come more often, more $ is made. They increased prices so much that yes they make more money when we come once every 4 months or longer. But that little bit gained each time would be a lot more bc we would come probably then at least once a month. So instead of maybe only getting food here a 3-4 times a year, we would instead go 8-12 times or more each year and that is more money there! So it would be nice to see a little bit of a changeIt's an absolute must to try the chili cheese fries! The chilli spaghetti is the best ground! Cheese coneys are classic! Also something newer, the hamburgers they have, my nephew loves!!!! I recommend that as well. If your in Cincinnati, try gold star!Editing 6/8/24 for a dining in experience AND a drive-thru experience today with my mom & son. My son did not want to go in, went through drive thru. Service was quick and his food was great! My mom & I went inside and ate. The server was very nice and made everything exactly how I asked for it. The chili cheese fries were great and crunchy and my 5 way had the extra chili requested. We were in and out in no time. Thanks again for the great service!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Best food in Delhi! Try the gyros or chicken, it’s fire!“

“Great food and great service!!“

“FIRST TIME HAVING RAISING CANES!
You know that feeling when you take a first bite and time stands still as your mind adjusts... Yeah, THAT FEELING!!
I was blown away by the Texas toast alone!
The crinkle cut fries were very good, nostalgic, not unnecessarily over spiced!
THE CHICKEN THE CHICKEN THE CHICKEN!!!! INSANE!!!!
TENDER & JUICY!!! You can get lost in THE SAUCE!!
ICE TEA, PERFECT!!! Great job!!“

“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 :)“

“Me and my friends stopped here at around 11:30 pm one night, and the staff immediately welcomed us in. They kept asking if we needed any help with finding anything on the menu, but we didn’t. Once we started ordering, we got our food maybe 5-10 minutes after ordering. Everything was clean, and it was a great experience.“

“Another great experience...fast...good shakes“

“OMG... the food was amazing.We ordered the oxtails and the jerk chicken meal and both were delicious.The guy that waited on us was friendly, the restruant was clean and a nice little jamaican feel to it. I definitely will be a return customer.“

“Chicken & Shrimp Teriyaki was excellent! We get it to go and are never disappointed. I hope this eatery moves to a store front if Eastgate Mall phases out their food court. We hear big changes are coming to the mall, so we are hoping the food court stays in place. Love this food and YES, you get a lot for the price. Try it! You will be surprised“

“very friendly staff very good food“

“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.“

“Gold Star is a standout choice for anyone looking for quality and flavor. Known for its rich taste and consistent quality, it excels in a variety of products, whether it’s snacks, sauces, or other offerings. The ingredients are often fresh, enhancing the overall experience. Customer service is typically praised as well, making the purchasing experience even better. Overall, Gold Star impresses with its commitment to quality and satisfaction.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly“

“the GOAT White Castle the best“

“I came in to get a dip and pretzels for a snack and the gentleman with long gray hair and a beard was very unpleasant. I'm not sure if it's because he is just like that or has 0 customer service skills but he made me feel very uncomfortable and rushed.“

“Generally depending on staff for the night it can be hit or miss as far as serving size service and drink refills. There seems to be a shift of teens and a team of adults with some teens. The last few times the teen crew was to concerned with entertaining friends at the bar than the customer base how ever the adult crew is great food is consistently hot great quality and a clean place to eat“

“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!“

“The food is good but the restaurant could be cleaner the table and chairs and floor in the waiting area are dirty every time I go in there and the Cashiers are not friendly at all they never smile or greet you

Vegetarian options: Don’t know“

“Great food good vibes ultra chicken speedy service fun restaurant tasty snacks friendly staff juicy fun! This was epic and fun for all ages races religions nationalities sexualities genders sexes creeds opinions affiliations abilities sizes intelligences and economic classes! And THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKIN’ BOUT SON!“

“Forest time trying a skyline chili. The chili was good. It’s on the sweet side with a hint of cinnamon. They LOAD it full of cheese. We had gotten a chili coney, noodles and cheese, and the chili cheese fries. There wasn’t much of the fries, I would have expected more. Felt a little rushed from the staff even tho there was hardly anyone there. We would go back next time we are in the area, but maybe a different location.“

“I went to grab some food before my second job started knowing what I know today is the onion's is what gives the people the bathroom problem so I asked for none, I watched the girl who was making my food take off all the onion's so I wouldn't have any on my delicious sliders and she didn't give no mad look nor did she have a upset face, she simply just said okay and you're welcome once I thank her.

Parking: Enough for people to get a spot“

“We gave Skyline a heads up a few days in advance that we'd be dropping in with a party of EIGHTEEN on a Saturday night. Alex the manager, Austin and server, and the entire crew went above and beyond. There was a birthday poster, birthday coloring sheets, a birthday button for the guest of honor, and more. No where else can you bring a party that large and get your food so quickly and deliciously. They've always taken great care of us when we bring in our large family, but this time was extra special! We can't say thank you enough!“

“I had a pickup order at this restaurant the other day.

The lot was clean, as well as the restaurant.

The worker that I spoke with was super friendly and did a wonderful job.

The only complaint that I have would be that my Reubens dressings were all just in the center. Spread it out some, makes most people happy!“
