“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!“
“They boast they have thr best burger in town and ya know what he'll yah they do !!, and if your a vegetarian thier veggie burger is awesome!! Like freaking 10/10 and the prices are great the sides/ appetizers are delicious if I could do 10 stars I would do 11“
“Stop by to get some "Caribbean Cuisine" Brian has the absolute best oxtails in the city and look at this jerk chicken it is absolutely delicious! There's so many options to choose from from the curry goat and the red snapper, seriously you can't miss with any of these entrees!Parking: Plenty of parking in the lot and on the street.Wheelchair accessibility: There's a ramp!“
“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.“
“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“
“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.“
“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.“

“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!“
“I like eating there and it's great place. The only problem is is when I try to order my food and I just say I would like to have a chicken bacon ranch just the sandwich. The person on the headset says do you want fries with that I'm like I just said just the sandwich. I don't understand why they don't understand what I'm saying. It always have to ask if I still want fries. If I wanted fries I would say with fries. That's the biggest complaint about that particular gold star and also, if I order bacon like two strips of bacon I should have two full strips of bacon. Not one and a half slices of bacon to another words. I'm getting ripped off on my bacon when I go there. Not cool.“
“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 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.“
“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“
“The food Is always hot and fresh! on a typical Friday, the electricity went out in that area because of a car hitting a telephone pole so I pull up to the drive thru not knowing this had occured so one of the young men that was working there was outside cleaning windows and he had approach my car and say excuse me ma'ma, we are not open right now and he explained the electricity outrageous being cut off so he hand me a "Free meal card" and he say thank you for coming and I promise him, I will show him appreciation for that and the kindness he serves! Thank you BENJAMIN H for your kindness and respectful approach.“
“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 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!“
“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.“
“This bar is beautiful. The owner has done so many upgrades and it's so well done. The ceiling the floor and the walls are gorgeous. There is lots of bourbon beers and it's a neighborhood place to relax and have fun. Give this place a try and talk with the owner he is a delight and true gentleman“
“Really liked Tina's the food is always the bomb the service is always fast very fast and the atmosphere is off the chain it seems like a lot of rock stars in the place to be plus the selection is good and the menu on the food is huge I like to get my chicken there at least once a week the hamburgers are good too all year and the fish is not bad either if you need to get in and out in a hurry I would recommend getting some lunch at Tina's if you're hungry“
“I went in tonight and was flustered getting my five family’s specific orders placed. But all three employees were patient, kind and helpful. I ended up getting two of the same sub by accident and they were so kind in encouraging me to get the order right. It was just really nice. I don’t know their names, but a blonde young adult, brown haired young woman and a brown haired young man. Just wanna say thanks!“
“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“
“Food was great. I love the salmon bowls! Baja or southwest my go to. I always bring home fish and chicken. My family loves LJSMy order was mixed up and I could not get anyone to pick up the phone so the next day I went in with my receipt and they made it right. Of course I ordered another salmon bowl. They are so good!“
“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.“
“Unique restaurant with an environment unlike anything else. Food was very good with unique flavor profile. The chili has an interesting cinnamon sweetness that was good and lots of cheese aided a classic coney dog. Service was good and friendly in a diner setting. If you're in the Cincinnati area, it's worth a stop at one of these locations.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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 “
“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!“
“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!“
“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“
“We chose to go on thier "Day of Giving" it was super busy! But they seemed to have it all under control and the customers were dealing. As we were leaving I heard the young lady at the counter inform the newest customer that they had run out of bread...."so if you wanna wrap or a salad we can help you". Like I said they were busy. They gave us our cold sammys with very little wait, our hot ones (we ordered 6, 4 cold/ 2 hot) took awhile longer they ended up calling my name ( I enjoyed the first name basis) to inform me I'd have to pick a different kind of bread which was fine. We got home and the sandwiches were great. Exactly what we asked for and very tasty.“
“Five Guys offers good, loaded burgers and lots of bag fries (even a small can feed two). Really like the small bacon cheeseburger. In addition to standard toppings they offer fresh jalapenos and hot sauce. Get Cajun seasoning on the fries if you like a bit of spice.Finally can't beat Coke Freestyle machines.“
“Every time we visit Cincinnati, we have to get Skyline Chili! There's nothing outside of Cincinnati that is close to this. The service is always good and of course the food is the best.Wheelchair accessibility: This place is kinda of tight. The great servers will move tables to accommodate anyone who needs assistance.“
“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.“
“I'm delighted to see a restaurant at this location again, after Sandy's closed down 50 years ago! I've been here several times already, had the chili and the cheeseburgers, great every time. Service is friendly, kitchen is fast, atmosphere is retro-cool, the whole place including the restroom is clean. I'll be a regular here.“
“First time here. It was a very pleasant experience. We had a very conscientious waitress who helped us make our choices. We both thought our food was very good. I ordered deluxe chili with the mountain of cheese on the side, and hubby ordered the chili with spaghetti noodles. 3 way chili.“
“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.“
“There are 3 subways in Independence and this is by far the best one. They are not rude like the one in beachgrove and they don't skimp on the toppings like the one by the post office lol. They make a good sandwich and are very nice! Had the Philly cheese from there yesterday and it was delicious“
“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“
“I got the Skyline chili bowl, it comes with three hot dogs, but the chili was extremely light and the cold cheese was heavy. I ordered the habanero cheese, but I don’t think that’s what I got. The chili did not even come half way up on the dogs and I really went there for the chili. Side Greek salad was good.“
“I’ve been to DQ a lot and I always get the Reese’s peanut butter cup pie Blizzard. I don’t know what it is but the lady at this location made it extra extra good today! It’s warm outside, this blizzard is amazing and it really hit the spot!!! She’s the only worker here so come get some DQ! She’ll take good care of “
“Food was great! We had grilled cheese and tomato soup. Marissa was an amazing waitress! She was taking care of the whole dining area, running food & drinks, taking orders and running the register! It was our first time going to a Gold Star because we wanted Tom & Chee. Great overall experience, and amazing staff! Really Marissa was awesome!“
“Best in town by far. Been going for 18 years and have yet to have a bad experience. I've read some of these reviews and they have one little problem and they immediately want it for free. that ain't how the world works. anytime they've messed up i just ask if they can fix it and they do no problem. Great food just a bunch of stuck up people around here.“
“What's not to love? The incredible customer service? The tasty (crispy, but not too much so) tenders? perhaps the tastfully seasoned fries? Three-piece lifer here, pulled up to the West Side Cane's on Glenway, near Bridgetown. Thank you, Mr. Cane-O. Thank you.Kid-friendliness: saw a family playing, enjoying its time together, and even tho one of the little ones was a wailer, the staff was friendly and coping.“
“Very spacious in a good location, with a big parking lot, a big number of attendants which reduces on the waiting time for placed orders.It closes at 10pm,Parking: A very big parking lot both at the front and at the back, which is free to park in.“
“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’ve stopped at this White Castle many times over the years. I’ve never had a bad experience in the drive through. I typically come in the early afternoon hours. They always have the friendliest staff and service is quick 95% of the time“
“First time having Papa John's in YEARS. In the past, the crust was always chewy. Tried it because of the garlic stuffed crust. Pizza was HOT when I picked it up and still HOT when I got home. I'd say that's a plus. The pizza itself was just okay. Crust wasn't chewy, so at least it has improved on that. Location seemed clean. Was greeted promptly. Tried the jalapeno "poppers" - definite no. Also had the steak papadilla - again, no. Not the fault of the store.“
