“Went here when were were in town and I was unsurprised. I heard reviews saying that the food was amazing and it is a Cincinnati staple. So I had to see I had to see for myself. I went with me and my family and I had an idea what to expect. Since it was my first time, the lady serving our table helped greatly on what to order. She recommended the Chilitos, and I ordered 2 of them, and I also ordered chili fries later on. The food came out quick (so did our drinks) and the food was amazing. I see why they keep their chili recipe secret, it was amazing! Can't have anyone running around with this recipe. The Chilito itself was really good, but my only complaint was probably the portion size; but that's a corporate issue and not a restaurant one. The chili fries were hot and crispy and the chili with it made it even better. Overall It had a very nice environment and I would recommend to others.“
“Absolutely fantastic food, service, and atmosphere. Modern diner vibe with mouthwatering burgers, delicious boozy milkshakes, and the best, most tender, juciest fried chicken I've ever had.Parking: You can usually find street parking nearby“
“The San Francisco dog is vegan and so good. You wouldn't think hummus and guac would be good but it is. The tots are even great. Oniony and flavorful. Service is great. The place is a hole in the wall in the middle of houses. Off the beaten path of mainstrasse. Not too far though. Just a couple blocks. I bet it is a popular local spot.“
“Great food and even better service. He is such a friendly fellow. I enjoyed a short talk and am so impressed with what he's done.Parking: Paid to park..wanted a.hotdog was 2 bucks in the public lot. Drove around and little to no free or cheap parking. His spot is right by the courthouse so it's understandable.“
“My family was visiting Newport Aquarium and after we left we found Mad Mike’s to eat. We ordered 2 of the Big Tex burgers and chicken tenders. These were the best burgers we have ever had and my son loved the chicken tenders. The service was great and the employee we encountered was amazing.“
“I had never been to a Skyline Chili. I proudly declared to the manager who rushed over to convert me to the Cincinnati area famous chili. He explained the differences between skyline and other types of chili and some of the nuances of the chili like we were in some sort of quasi wine tasting. Personally I was 100% there for it. I ended up ordering 3 coney dogs, one with jalapeño cheese on it to go. It was late and I had to get back to my hotel, people were waiting on me, or else I would have stayed and enjoyed the quaint diner on the end of a strip mall that serves chili late at night…. The atmosphere was a clean place that oddly reminded me of the 90’s but was well taken care of. As I returned to my hotel I ate all three coney dogs quickly. They. Were. Delicious. The jalapeño cheese was maybe not as spicy as I would have expected but they put hot sauce in the bag that was well used. Overall, I can see the appeal of the chili place, for a chili that doesn’t have beans in it.Food was great! Staff was extremely helpful! This skyline chili is open late!“
“I guess you have to try this when visiting Cincinnati. The chili was pretty bland with no real bold flavors. The fact that you’re eating it on spaghetti is odd, but not as off putting as I would have thought. They absolutely do not skimp on the cheese though. They put a mountain of it on each plate. Our server was extremely friendly too.“
“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!“
“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“
“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“
“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“
“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.“
“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 haven't been reviewing much but, I needed to do this one because I haven't. Went inside for a dinner and continue to a fair. Walk in. They tell us to sit down. Order a 3-way. Came out great. As well as chili cheese fries. Did pretty good on that too and ordered a Sprite. But, it concerns me that you can't eat outdoors if it is a nice sunny day or breeze is just right. But overall great staff and service. Partial clean. Food is always hot and doesn't cool down for a while. Don't really disappoint me. Recommend to try this place if you can! It's great for kids, but never seen anyone outdoors. Overall 4/5 and looking forward to seeing more!“
“Needed a quick bite to eat while I was in the area. Super fast service, very nice staff, and a very clean restaurant. My cheese coney was so hot I had to let it cool off (not a bad thing)! I always expect the best from Skyline, and this location did not disappoint.“
“Legit some of the best coneys I’ve had. They are good! Also they love sublime and are really nice! Love this place! Will be back again! Super nice people! Remember to swHOOSH on down there and get some coneys! Super convenient parking right infront of the restaurant!“
“This is one of the most unique and delicious chili's I've ever had. It has a sweeter taste than other chili's, but it truly does work. Prices are reasonable and they have table service if you sit in. They also have a drive thru.“
“For those that know, Skyline chili has a little more kick than Gold Star (GS is a little sweeter). Had a few coneys, very good and they never skimp on the cheese. Got a side of fries and a side of chili too. All was great. Service was also very good.“
“Just a nice experience. Food is ALWAYS excellent. Felt sorry for the staff having to deal with unbelievable KIDS MESS!I raised 4. That would have been the last trip out to eat, had they EVER left a mess like that. Total bs.Come now young parents. Teach your children.“
“One of my favorite skylines around. They are always open for indoor dining, so you can enjoy a nice hot meal no matter how cold it is outside. Cannot say the same about the gold star next door, who still wants to live in the year 2020 and have everything drive through only. Thank you Skyline for being open when others aren't!!“
“The staff is very customer service oriented and friendly.The food is fresh and cooked to order with free toppings.High Quality food with fresh quality toppings..Very clean sitting area as the food preparation area.Love being able to watch the preparation of the food.Thank you“
