Classic cincinnati chili, a must try to anyone in the area. I reccomend trying the coneys as they are a really affordable option. The area around it is also nice to walk around and was featured in an episode of the simpsons!Parking: You can park in the lot which is kinda tight and can also pay to park on the street

This is the paradigm of Skyline chili locations. The best, most real example of the true Skyline experience. There are no computerized overhead displays here. I walked in, and they were completely full, Sunday around noon. The after church crowd. It was always a tradition in my family to go to Skyline - this Skyline - after church. But I was on my own, so I wanted a carry out order. Within 30 seconds my order was taken, and called out verbally to the food team. The customer says "Regular Three Way" which means spaghetti with chili on it, and a mound of shredded colby cheese. The person at the counter simply calls out "One Chili Spagett!" I paid for my order, and two minutes later I was walking out with my food. Settled on a comfortable corner of the Clifton Gaslight district at the corner of Clifton Avenue and Ludlow Avenue, this traditional, old school, Skyline location is a great place to eat in or carry out. It is across the street from a corner of Burnet Woods Park, where a fountain sculpture has been placed. There is an old fashioned Fire House on another corner, and a florist on the other. Welcome to the red brick Clifton Skyline on Ludlow!Vegetarian options: You get the "rice and beans" chili mixture instead of the traditional chili. It's good. You don't get to have a cheese coney. You could have rice and beans on a coney bun with cheese. I would get a regular three way, four way or five way (four and five add onions and beans) but specify "rice and beans" instead of chili. It has a similar flavor due to the spices.Parking: The parking lot is across a small street just north of the Skyline Building to the right off of Clifton Avenue.

I hate using this totology, but it really is what it is. A plus for the servers seemingly loving their jobs, always a great sign in an eatery

I came here highly recommend of Cincinnati's chili to get takeout for my family. While we did partake of a variety of variations from their menu, their chili was subpar from a lot of chili I've had from several places outside of Cincinnati. I would not recommend this restaurant to get a sample of what Cincinnati is supposed to be famous for.

Food was served really quickly.It has a unique taste as we were expecting tomatoey-bolognese style but it tasted very very beefy. We got the 4-way with onions.The taste would be more cohesive if the cheese melted along with the heat of the food, but it was just sitting on top. So it felt like we were eating the ingredients individually.

Food... for an out of state person, the chili is kind of odd. Not bad, just not what we're used to. It's sweet. We got a 3 way, cheese fries and a coney. We both thought the coney and fries were great. The 3 Way was just a lot. Our waitress was SO sweet and attentive. We were in and out pretty quickly. The ambiance was that of a diner and it was a fun environment to be in. Not sure it lived up to the hype, but glad we tried it!

can't believe this is a popular chain out here as it was easily the lowest quality and grossest coney dog i've ever eaten in my life.

This Skyline is the best in the city! The workers are always so efficient and kind, often getting food to you within 5 minutes of you ordering. The place is incredibly clean, and you can see employees vacuuming or detailing windows often. Their parking lot is a great reprieve from street parking, and it is always nice to walk down Ludlow to Graeters after your meal!
