“Attended a 94th birthday party for an Aunt today and these good people couldn't have been more kind. In addition to a menu that had something for every age group, I had the 3 way and it was delicious!, we were permitted to bring cake and gifts as well. This restaurant is spotlessly clean and the staff was accommodating and fun. Skyline is still one of the few places where I feel like I always get my monies worth! As Always, Enjoy!“
“I went through the drive thru and ordered fish sandwiches. I think it was the first day they started selling it for Lent. They weren’t sure if they had any. They told me they did but it would be awhile. When I got to the pay window I was offered a drink while I waited. I was told to pull to a parking spot and they would bring it out which they did in less than 10 minutes. I was pleasantly surprised about the customer service. I stopped going there because of their lousy service. The last time there I had to leave before I got my food because my lunch hour was over and needed time to get back. I will now be a customer again and I didn’t get the name of the lady that brought my food to the parking lot but she has made the whole fast food experience enjoyable again!! Thanks again!!!“
“Dining in with a Stromboli. Bringing it to the table took a few minutes, because it was cooked for me. And it tasted delicious. The cup of marinara was the perfect size (and perfect taste). This isn't high-brow Italian. This is GOOD Italian. I'll be back.Parking: Hundreds of parking spaces available.“
“I have driven by this restaurant for a while because the sign didn’t draw me in. However, today I wanted to give it a try. Wow, amazing food and service. The quesadilla with chicken was fantastic, and the service was so kind. I’ll be back!“
“The food was good as usual. The guys working the line were efficient and friendly and helpful. It was on the busy side when we were there.I will remark that the line and food was pretty messy. I imagine due to it being busy but it is worth noting.“
“This is my favorite Dairy Queen location! On summer nights there is usually a line at the drive through, but it moves at a decent pace. Everyone that works there has always been very friendly. The best part about this location is they give a generous amount of toppings in their Blizzards. The summer special, peanut butter puppy chow, was my absolute favorite this summer.“
“It was cold morning 3/25/2024. The time was 10:32am and alas, McDonalds stopped serving breakfast. I rushed over to Chick Fil A to see if they could help. It was past their time as well but no complaints and they gave us a chicken mini basket of 40 really fast! Best experience ever!“
“Dixie Chili has been around since 1927 years and was opened only a few years after empress...The Newport location is the one I was taken to.by my uncle when I was a kid.I have not had it in years... but I made a point to go there cause I always remember it as DELICIOUS... AND IT WASI visited today and we shared some stuff.You walk in order and take your tray down the line and get your drinks then food... and if it's a lil longer prep they'll tell you they bring it out to you...The Cheese ConeyThe overall experience is wonderful.The taste great...First thing you notice is the bun is soft and not super dense... its not like the dense dry buns from local large chains...It's not too dry not too moist.. then theres the chili... its very good and they put an ample portion on a coney "so hunch over when eating cause it could drip out the back that's a good thing" they put a light coat of onion so not overpowering.. and the mustard was just right... not too much or too sour... then thers the soft Tuft of cheese piled on top...Their chili doesn't have a spicy kick so it's just satisfying... although a lil hot sauce on it later proved to pair well with the chili like it activated the spices in your mouth for a new flavor..."I recommend try without hotsauce first"THE CHILI CHEESE FRIES ...OMG...I will say no matter where you go chili cheese fries are expensive...BUT they use WAFFLE FRIES!this was a whole new texture I never knew I needed in my life.They are crisp and the chili and cheese attop them is so good and easier to eat than others... "again try without hotsauce first"We also ordered chili cheese sandwiches so that means no hotdogsBut you get more cheese and it seemed a lil more onion on them.Delicious....oh BTW the hotdogs in the coneys where dense they tatsed and had mouth feel of a good quality wiener.We had to try a side of Gyro meat cause at this point we where getting full and couldn't do a full gyro... cause from what we saw they are a decent size.So a side with a side of Taziki...The meat was very good and the taziki is outstanding with the meat...We of course got the large drinks with the plastic cup to take home...I want to go back and have their 3 and 4 way... one thing I was impressed with was the oyster crackers...Westminster Bakers Co.Is the brand they have and It literally is a game changer...They have a subtle density and crispness that doesn't instantly turn mushy in soup, chili, or Cincinnati chili....Another reason I need to come back...Also they are not cheap... a big bag is twice the price of other brands.... that is for good reason...I swear whole foods is gonna catch on to how many small packs I take when I get their soup lol... that brand of oyster Cracker is the bomb...So if you like quality... dixi chili does it right... and personally I think it should be Dixie Chili and empress chili fighting for dominance... not goldstar and skyline...There are four chilli places I think that are better than those two brands .... cause skyline ain't it especially on quality lately... they buns too dry...Vegetarian options: They make vegetarian chili tooParking: There is a free lot about 3 stores downAlso a mix of free and paid street parkingKid-friendliness: Lots of kids options and amenities“
“If you like chipotle, this place is better in every way. They have more creative food selections and appetizers and their service is top notch. I just wish there was one closer to my house?. If you haven't given it a shot check it out because this definitely one of my favesDietary restrictions: Offers keto and vegan options“
“I’ve never had the pleasure of visiting this establishment in person but every single time I’ve ordered via DoorDash, the food is incredible. My all-time favorite fried chicken place. The spicy chicken is the best. Yams, cornbread, Mac n cheese, sweet potato pie, it’s all good. I have yet to try something I don’t like! Big portions, always hot and fresh. 10/10.“
“I've only visited twice, food was great, a little pricey, small mom, pop type restaurant, limited seating, but great for takeout, I enjoyed both meals, and will go again, Loaded, and classic Gyros are great, loved the mushrooms, jalapeno peppers with the sweet chili sauce.“
“I went through the drive-through, so I couldn't rate the atmosphere. I got the codfish sandwich, which was a nice size, freshly fried, and served on a delicious bun. My aunt really liked the Culver's root bear, and I was jealous that I didn't try it myself. I only gave 4 stars because I did not try enough yet.“

“Empower is my absolute favorite place! Their shakes are delicious and their customer service is amazing. Both co-owners are incredibly sweet and they genuinely care about getting to know people when they stop in. Could not recommend this place anymore. 11/10!“
“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 know there a lot of diehard fans of Skyline Chili, so I visited more out of curiosity than anything! Let's try this famous chili that folks are always raving about! To be honest, I'm not sure that I totally get it, but it was good (not amazing?) and I'm glad I tried it. I feel like satisfying my curiosity was enough for me though, and I would probably opt for other options over Skyline in future visits to Cincinnati. I stopped into this location at kind of a weird time in the middle of the afternoon, after any lunch crowd and before a reasonable dinner time. As such, it was pretty much empty and I had my choice of seating. I got the vibe that this is likely a location frequented by people who work in the area. I got the famous/signature 4-way, spaghetti covered with chili, diced onions, and a mound of shredded cheese. I also tried a chili cheese coney sandwich. I wasn't sure if this was the right amount to order or not, since prices seemed too low for a meal. However, this was definitely the right amount for me. It didn't look super big but it's very filling. I also got hot sauce to drizzle on top which I really liked! I'm not sure my stomach was too happy about the whole meal though, haha. I happily finished the whole thing.“
“The combination of the combo or box meal with half cut iced tea is yum! Toast buttered and toasted on both sides!! The only thing that I wish for as much as we go to canes, is you only get one sauce, same as you do when you order a kid meal. Three or more or at least when you order four tenders, you should get a second sauce without having to pay for it for what you pay for your order. Not getting a second sauce is always a bummer. But I've never had any type of bad service ordering inside to eat in or the drive-through to go. Food is always hot and you never have to wait long. Sometimes kids are hard to buy food for but the buttered toast on both sides, means my grandson is always willing to go with me.“
“Ah, fellow space traveler, gather 'round! Let me regale you with a tale of gastronomic exploration at Swenson's Drive-In on Madison Rd in Cincinnati. Picture this: I parked my starship (okay, It was a F-150, but let's keep the cosmic vibe) and activated my warp lights. The menu materialized before me, not on a screen, mind you, but through sheer telepathy. Yes, this is a drive-in, not a mere drive-through. No faceless boards here - just a parking spot and a hunger that could rival a black hole.The server sprinted over, like a caffeinated Tribble chasing a warp-speed mouse. I ordered a double cheeseburger with fried mushrooms, and the server nodded as if saying, "Ah, the classic warp fuel." But then, my friend's request: a grilled chicken sandwich and potato puffs. Alas, the app had no fried chicken sandwiches listed! I leaned in, whispered "Captain Kirk would've sorted this out with a photon torpedo,” and the server promised to relay the message to the manager. Bless their dilithium crystals.Now, let's talk, value. Swenson's delivers more bang for your gold-pressed latinum. It's like getting a warp drive upgrade for the price of a replicator synthehol. And the speed? Warp factor 9, my friend! The shakes? Creamier then a Vulcan's logic. The desserts? Sweet enough to make a Klingon smile (which is rare, trust me).So, fellow cosmic wanderer, if you seek sustenance at warp speed, Swenson's is your nebula. Just remember to park, flash your lights, and prepare for a teleportation of flavor. And may the force - wait... wrong franchise! Live long and nom nom!“
“I really like skyline, gold Star is my favorite for coneys though, the funnel fries are to die for, they taste just like a funnel cake and it just depends on your taste, both chili's are great, they just have a slightly different tasteParking: Fairly large lot, I'd say about 20 spots in frontKid-friendliness: Kids menuWheelchair accessibility: Handicapped parking right by the front doors“
“What can I say. I’m a foody so I’ll start by saying the portions are very generous for the price. Now if you’re a wing lover definitely get the wings and make sure you get a few flavors. If you get a dinner I recommend the rib tips, cabbage and jalapeño cornbread. Chef Tony and Nicole really will make you feel welcome. Great Barbecue restaurant.“
“Stopped by here after the Bengals lost to the Texans, food was excellent, service was outstanding, & the restaurant was clean. Waitress was very nice & helpful, she was so gracious enough to sell my brother in law & I a full set of the Skyline Bengals cups, we really appreciated that. Will stop in here again when I'm up that way. Thanks Skyline staff.“
“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.“
“Went on st Patty's day. Dined it. Waitress got really busy so not we weren't attended to often after we got our food, good thing it's good Ole skyline and you don't need much more then the perfection I ordered. Also had a takeout cup so easily refilled before leaving. Loved the green spaghetti!!!Wheelchair accessibility: There's wheel chair access into restaurants and tables to be say at comfortably“
“I was expecting to wait a long time because of the looks on the faces of the folks that were waiting for their food. They looked upset, so I just sat down. There weren't many people in the dining room at all. I started playing a game on my phone and waited approximately 3 minutes and my food was done. Kind folks and the food was still fresh when I got it home. Very delicious! Awesome place to go for a late supper on Thanksgiving eve! Happy Thanksgiving all!Parking: No.“
“Was recommended to come here while in town. Not from here and never heard of it. Best chili cheese dog I’ve ever had. Just wish I would have eaten it while it was fresh. Reheated at home still was amazing. Don’t recommend letting them sit in the Togo container for 4 hours but I wasn’t hungry and needed to head back home. Was only in town for the time it took me to pickup the thing I went there for.“
“The food at this location is always fast and hot but one gripe, if I may, every time we've gone lately the dining room had flies pestering us. Not a big deal I suppose and probably hard to mitigate but maybe they need to change whatever method they're using. Not working in keeping flies out of the restaurant.“
“One of the better Skyline restaurants that I have been to. The service is speedy and the staff is friendly and willing to go the extra mile for customer service. The only drawback is that they have their drive thru on loudspeaker in the restaurant itself allowing diners to hear each and every automobile patron and their order.“
“I like to think of my Jesus as a chicken sandwich eater and he’s in the drive thru about 5 cars back from the people taking orders. BUT he still gets his #1 deluxe with large waffles fries in less than 5 minutes from entering the drive thru lane. Because I like my Jesus to eat chicken but also to be able to get it quickly whenever he wants it.“
“Small place, so there's not a lot of seating, but the food makes up for that.The food was fresh and hot with a nice portion size. We got catfish bites and the 2 piece fish special. We choose talopia as our selection. Seems pretty steady and busy.“
“Incredible cheesesteaks made fresh to order. I have cycled through all of them from the original to the delicious spins on the classic Ty has created. Waffle fries are great and the wings are FIRE. I have never had a bad meal here and Ty's a cool guy who is fun to talk with.“
“It is always good and the servicers are always polite and we will go againVegetarian options: YesDietary restrictions: Yes for safety reasonsKid-friendliness: Kids are people too and they deserve kindness and respectWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessibility is important for all that use them“
“I went here after class and haven’t had them in a while. For starters I walked in and they were playing my favorite song. 10/10 right there and the food was so fresh especially the fries. The fries were so hot and my milkshake was so good. It is expensive for one person so I probably wouldn’t bring a whole family here but it was very hot and worth it as a treat.“
“Can I give 6 stars to this location? I order often. They are super fast, efficient, staff greets everyone, thanks them for their business- high level customer service stuff I used to spend YEARS trying to teach bank employees. The day crew here is phenomenal, and the food is always great. No skimping at this location, keep it up!“
“I was here visiting for the holidays and had to have some Skyline Chili. I grew up here but moved away 26 years ago. Sometimes the reality doesn't match up with your memory but I'm happy to say Skyline did. We had fast friendly service and the food was great.“
“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.“
“Newer location. Super clean. It's classic Gold Star darn good Cincinnati style chili. The price is right, service is fast and friendly, and the food is good. I don't know what more you can ask for with fast food.Parking: Surface lot“
“A little backstory: we had been traveling (flying, to be specific) for the past 5 hours and I had starving kids. It was after 9pm, and we went through the Anderson Skyline drive through for a late dinner. When we arrived home I discovered they had forgotten my child’s cheese for her three way. I called the store and asked for my options, explaining that we had been out of town and I literally had nothing to even “quick-fix” the situation. The manager asked if I could drive back to the store, and we did. Not only did the manager remake our entire order, he threw in extra cheese for my kid, extra crackers, graham crackers, Yorks, and Andes Mints. I am beyond impressed that he went so above and beyond to rectify this wrong; his simple gesture really helped the awful situation become very tolerable.“
“Can’t ever really go wrong with 5guys but what I was most impressed about was a 5guys employee getting off work noticed some trash outside while driving away… he stopped picked it up and threw it away.Seems not like a big deal but that goes to show the pride and appreciation for his work place… food was great and fresh“
“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 :)“
“This is a good one to go for the atmosphere, they have their regulars that the all the workers greet a they come in. We would take our lunch there like once a week while we worked in the area and knew we needed an "adult kids meal" and only ketchup. It's one the enjoyable ones to go to for “
“What's not to love about Skyline!!! Four way chili and original coney dog with hotsauce and crackers!!! Love the bottle.Parking: Plenty of free parking in their lot.Kid-friendliness: Kids are always welcome and leave happy!!Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible building“
“Honestly one of the best fast food experiences I've had. The burger was a great portion size, well seasoned, and perfectly cooked. The fries were crisp and fresh, and the coney with the spicy cheese has a very addictive flavor. You can tell they recently remodeled so it adds alot to the dining experience. Will definitely return.“
“This is a very good place to be if you're looking for lunch. The food is very good and the staff are friendly. Both times I was there the owner was sitting in the dining room either doing paperwork or asking customers how their experience has been and that was a nice touch. He even gave out $1 off coupons and if there was an issue like the last time I went where I was waiting for too long he will make up for it without a second thought. I got a free side of mini cookies today because I had to wait for service (I didn't mind waiting, but it was a nice bonus). The only thing I dislike about this place is that it can be kinda loud and echoing due to the open ceilings and music being played. But it is not too overbearing and the food definitely makes up for it! If you are around North College Hill and need a quick and filling lunch then this is the place to be!“
“i love this canes. it is my home. i am here so much they know me by name. but recently…. i’ve noticed… they haven’t been toasting BOTH sides of their toast. what’s up with that? this is a fine establishment and i would hope someone is toasting both sides of my toast. love you calhoun canes. please take this as constructive criticism. <3“
“I told a young man there at my visit that I had never been in such a clean place with everybody. So nice and friendlyVegetarian options: I got the veggie wrap. I'm not a vegetarian nor a vegan. It's just a good wrap with this honey mustard“
“Today was my first time eating Chick-fil-A. It was very good. And the guy at the register was do nice he worked today at about 4:30-5pm great customer service????Kid-friendliness: My boys said ?Parking: Chick-fil-A in the Kenwood Mall. Cincinnati ohio“
“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!“
“The staff has come a long way. We stopped in around 2-3 and got the Roast Beef Slider. It was microwaved, and extremely HOT!! The fries were fresh and the staff was friendly. We didn't realize they had an offer of 2 for $7 for other items we got and the Front Cash employee gave us the discount for that, which saved us $2 and got more food. Still a little ways to come, but I will come back more often after seeing the improvements.“
“I've been to Gold Star dozens of times and this was the first time I'd tried the chili salad.It could have used a little more chili, but it tasted really good.Love the Chipotle ranch dressing.Vegetarian options: The veggie chili is wonderful.“
“Stopped in during lunch time. First time there. Very busy, almost annoyingly busy, both on the inside and outside with the parking lot filled, but that's a sign of a good business. Ordered the new garlic sub. I am not picky, I think most everything tastes good there. Employees were friendly and I left a tip because they probably put up with a lot from customers and being behind the food counter is generally a thankless job.Parking: Crowded, busy, potholes, under construction“
“I absolutely love this place! This is my absolute favorite ice cream place. The cones are awesome and so delicious. But the blizzards are the top hit there. They have really good flavors and different cup sizes. And like they say, their ice cream is really made to defy gravity.“
