35 Best Hot Dogs in Cincinnati

“their Chicago dogs are the best“

“We go multiple times a month when it's open. It's just that good. I recommend the walking tacos, coneys and chocolate shakes. Everything is consistently good unlike most restaurants these days.“

“LOVE the burger fries and tots.“

“What one of our team members says: "Milkman in OTR is the go-to spot for the best smash burgers in Cincinnati, and it's so much more than a burger joint! They serve alcoholic/non-alcoholic milkshakes and slushies, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, and more! Plus, the cozy retro vibe of the restaurant makes it such a fun spot for date night or hanging with friends. We highly recommend trying their blue raspberry soft serve!"“

“The food was amazing as usual! The only problem that has me disturbed is the fact that the young lady that gave us awesome over the top service was not the one that was gonna get the tip I left because she was in training. That just doesn't seem fair to me seeing how that is where she makes the bulk of her money being an amazing waitress.“

“This Skyline is larger than most. I normally Order a 5 Way Chili. For you out of towners, a 5 Way includes spaghetti, chili, onions, beans, and cheese. This isn’t your normal chili with this ingredient combo. Our grandkids love it. Today, I ordered a Greek Salad with grilled chicken. You can also get Buffalo chicken with your salad. It’s a really good salad with greens, black olives, pepperocinis, feta, tomatoes topped with a tangy Greek salad dressing“

“We were in town for a soccer camp at TQL stadium the place is super neat located on the corner in an older buidling. Rated food 4 I got the 5 way, three coney dogs and a fry those were very fresh and crispy. I have heard a lot about this place I was not a huge fan but it was not bad. Service was a 2 for me because being the first impression the gentleman was kind of snappy as we walked in he said dine in or to go quickly demanding us step aside. He was not very pleasant to deal with. Maybe as a restaurant owner I expected the face of this establishment to be more personable. Over all I would try a coney dog in the future just at another location.“

“I visited Cincinnati and knew I had to try the famous Skyline Chili! After reading so many reviews, I decided this was the location I had to check out while I was in the area. The food was surprisingly good, and I'm glad I gave it a try. The service was alright, and the portions were decent. Overall, it's definitely worth experiencing at least once if you're visiting Cincinnati!“

“This place is an absolute gem. I stopped in for a meal and was blown away by the generous portions and the friendly, welcoming atmosphere.

Everything I had was fresh and hit the spot perfectly. I especially loved the salad topped with those crunchy crackers, which added a great texture to every bite. It is exactly the kind of satisfying comfort food I look for. I will definitely be back soon.“

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

“One of my favorite skyline locations! Our server was so sweet to us and really took great care of us. Can’t remember her name but we were pretty hungry after a day at Kings Island and she was very patient and attentive! We live out in Anderson but chose this location to eat because the food is better and the service is the best!!“

“Definitely recommend talking to James he's been there forever and is full of fun interesting details 😀 and Marguerite was an excellent and pleasant waitress who made sure we had everything we needed and more all with a smile and happy to do it. You rarely get that!“

“Five Guys Burgers and Fries is a great place to eat when you want a fresh, filling burger and hot fries. The food is made to order, the portions are generous, and the burgers have that real classic taste. The fries are always a favorite, and the service is usually quick and friendly. Definitely a good spot for a simple, satisfying meal.“

“I work over at the 513 wash across the street and I come here on my breaks sometimes, been doin that since November. This place has always been really friendly, peaceful, quiet, and the food is so good. I love my usual server, Amy, she's awesome. I walked in today and the cooks already knew my order, not even the Skyline in Delhi has that memorized, so it really added to the experience! This has to be my favorite location I've ever come to and I'm happy to call this my favorite place to go on lunch break and to work right across the street from! <3“

“The service was super friendly and fast. A number of employees checked up on us to see if everything was OK. It was our first time here. We came because people told us we should try it while we were in cincinnati. They were right. It was worth stopping.“

“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“

“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.“

“We moved away from Cincinnati about 7 years ago and stopped off at this location on our way out of town recently. It’s set a bit back off the road so use a directions app or you’ll have to go looking for it. Absolutely the nicest staff! We started chatting with them about the new chicken chili and they offered my boyfriend a free chillito to sample! We told them about living out of town and on our way out the door they gave us this gift bag! This will definitely be my stop from now on on my way out of town!“

“We always go to this location in cherry grove. We live in Eastgate but this one is the best. Last night they gave us a free sample of the new chicken chili skyline dip. It was awesome! I couldn't taste a difference. I definitely will be back for more ! Thank you!“

“Staff is pretty friendly for the most part. Environment was clean and there was plenty of seating. Restrooms were clean. Items were stocked. Orders are freshly made so there is a bit of a wait time but it's definitely worth it. It's a bit hot inside as the kitchen area is open and doesnt have great ventilation“

“This is a fantastic spot for lunch! The staff is super friendly, and the servers were attentive—regularly checking to make sure our glasses were full and asking if we were happy with our meals. The Cheese Coneys are excellent, and I’ve officially made the Skyline on Glenway Avenue my new go-to location. I highly recommend this Skyline to everyone!“

“Great food and great service!!“

“We’ve been to more than 30 different Skyline locations (so far), and this is one of the best. Lalayna offered suggestions as we ordered, juicy coneys in a bowl for example, and made sure we got everything just the way we would like it most. And we sure did like it! She stopped by several times, ensuring everything was good, our drinks were filled and we were happy. The manager also was visible in the dining room, visiting all of the tables. It was our first visit here, so we came in as strangers, but by the time we left, we felt like regulars.“

“I really enjoyed the crisp on my burger. I enjoyed savoring every bite. I regret not getting a double or a triple. Worth the wait. My food wasn’t rushed. Made with care.“

“Skyline Chili is a great place to eat if you want something different, filling, and full of flavor. The chili, cheese coneys, and 3-ways are always satisfying, and the service is usually quick and friendly. It’s a good spot for a fast meal with family or friends, and the food has that classic comfort-food taste that keeps you coming back.“

“I was in Cincinnati for a convention. So I had to try authentic skyline chili and had the 4-way. Spaghetti beans, cheese and of course their signature chili. For me it was worth it. I enjoyed it and now I am a fan of Cincinnati chili. The staff were friendly and attentive, and that made it an even better visit.“

“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 ❣️“

“Favorite chili place in Cincinnati, always has been! Employees at the drive thru were friendly and quick with the order.

Parking: If you go through the drive thru, it doesn't really connect to the parking lot. So, if you get your food at the drive thru and want to eat in your car like a heathen (how we do it), you have to go back on the road, make an immediate right back into the lot.Enjoy.“

“I love getting it at Blue Jackets games! Always good.“

“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!“

“Skyline Chili is my favorite restaurant. My wife and I spent a few days sightseeing in Cincinnati. She has never been to Cincy. She has never had Skyline Chili. I told here that you haven't been Cincy until you have their chili. I ordered us Cheese Coney dogs & a 5-way chili. She loved it. Our server was the best. She treated my wife like royalty. She gave her a newbie bowl of their chili to try before we ordered and she put a bib on her.“

“Super surprised very flavorful chilidogs!! Loved the whole idea the dogs are smaller than a normal gog but they were cooked perfect and the chili was excellent loade with gobs of cheese. Next time I'm in Cinci I going back. Oh yeah the jalapeño cheese was perfect...Just a little extra kick in between mild and medium hot...perfect!!“

“Great place, great food, wait staff recognizes my group and has no problem remembering our choices. I only didn't give this a perfect score as sometimes it gets very busy and they seem to have trouble with managing the extended area during those periods. Still kinda miss the old building but this was a definitely welcome and needed upgrade!“

“Just visited this location tonight. I had a bacon chicken ranch wrap and an order of their new nachos. Let me just tell you they were extremely polite and professional. And that wrap was hands down the best I've ever had. Idk their names but I wish I could tell them thank you and to the managers working that night. Great job!!“

“Another Cincinnati hometown favorite. Our Bridgetown location certainly needs some work. The parking lot is beyond repair and dangerous. There is always food on the floor under the tables. Your not sure if today's meal will be steaming hot or like warm. Some food prep people need hair nets as one employee has long hair that is left hanging loosely as she prepared your food. Certainly has to be a health board issue. Apparently she is the only one not required to secure her locks properly.“
