Skyline Chili Restaurants

My way to stop for a quick lunch or dinner. Extremely friendly staff and a moth full of delicious conneys. Great atmosphere, family friendly, and clean restaurant (fast food) for a quick stop. I have tried a lot more, better and tasteful chilis. But hey, for a couple of bucks you can’t beat the fusion of flavors in a conney.

While in town I kept hearin Cincinnati Chili this, Cincinnati chilli that as well as stuff like «Oh you gotta try the Cincinnati chili at Skyline it’s great!»
I know a thing or two about Chili and «great» is a bit of a stretch. I happen to make a homeade chile that will knock your socks off, in fact I’ve been thinkin about entering one of those chili contests you see on tv if the opportunity ever presents itself. Anywayz a more apt description for this place is «good in a pinch», or «as good as Wendy’s…maybe better.»
If folks in Cincinnati are using Skyline as the gold standard for their namesake chili they may wanna rethink that dubious distinction.
Forgive my cynicism but I wouldn’t be this critical if the place weren’t over hyped by the local yokels.
I don’t want this to reflect badly on Cincinnati as a whole because I really enjoy the city and the friendly folks there so I’m adding a 3^rd star out’ve heartfelt sentiment for the place.
Hope to see ya’ll again soon!

I had lunch here recently, and I continue to be impressed with the quick service and quality of the food at this quick-​service Cincinnati chain. I had a 3-​way chili, which is spaghetti covered with chili and then covered with shredded cheddar cheese. Trust me, it tastes way better than it sounds if you haven’t tried it yet. It is so easy to sub in their vegetarian chili for virtually any dish.

2^nd best skyline in the city. The food comes out extremely fast. Just love love love their cheese! Be ware that on Friday night during the school year they are crowded due to football/​basketball games at the surrounding high schools.

I love this skyline. It was great for after highschool football games back in the day and it’s great for a quick lunch. They people are really nice that work here and how can you live in Cincinnati and NOT love skyline?

How can you not give Skyline 5 stars? That really could complete my review, but I’ll get a bit more specific.
This is the Skyline closest to where I work, and I’ve always been happy with my meals here. The staff is friendly and my order has always been correct, even though I usually go through the drive-​thru.
If you’re not from Cincinnati and don’t know what to do with yourself… start with a 3-​way (it’s not as dirty as it sounds, I promise) and a cheese coney. They also have delicious burritos and other meals.
Even if you don’t eat meat, there are other options here. The greek salad is great (and I usually don’t bother with salad when there is chili and cheese around) and they have good baked potatoes as well.
For some reason Skyline hot sauce tastes better than any other hot sauce on earth to me, although other people tell me it’s no different. Maybe it’s just more delicious because it’s on top of Skyline, and pretty much anything would taste better that way.
Skyline. Delicious. Eat there.

Although the page lists this as Mexican, it is not. The only people this will confuse are out of towners, so not a big deal.
This particular location is great and my wife and I are frequent visitors. We had one problem one night where we found broken glass in a 3-​way, but they fixed it for us, realized what happened to cause it and we’ve never had a problem there again.

Best Feature: The classic Cincinnati chili!
Worst Feature: Haven’t seen many changes with the menu
I’ll admit it — I’m a true Cincinnatian and I looooove Skyline Chili!
Growing up, I have eaten many a meal at Skyline Chili. My high school years were spent frequenting the local Skyline restaurant and enjoying their various dishes.
This is one location I haven’t visited, so it was nice to stop in and support the franchise in another part of town. The building was previously home for Pizza Hut, and this is evident when you see the restaurant. Now, however, it is home to the city’s famous chili, and the chili does not disappoint! The taste of the food was splendid as always, and I enjoyed a bowl of chili and a chili cheese sandwich.
One thing I love about Skyline is how they serve chili in so many ways. It’s hard not to find something to eat there, and they are willing to customize the dish to your liking. Over the years, however, I’ve noticed they have not really done anything spectacularly different; the menu designs are the same, as is the variety of dishes they offer. Don’t get me wrong — the dishes are great, but I’d love to see something exciting and new to catch my attention and bring me in.
As a result, I don’t go to Skyline as much anymore. It IS possible to get burned out on chili, especially when you can find different kinds of chili around the city as well.
The service here was fabulous — the waitress was very attentive, pleasant, and was quick to provide us with refills and inquire about our experience. In fact, much of the staff was smiley and friendly.
Despite the lack of innovation with food dishes, Skyline is delicious — and this restaurant continues to fortify the solid and impressive reputation of the Skyline chain! If you’re in the area and love yourself some Skyline Chili, stop in!
