Came for Burger Week and ordered the $9 Sizzling Cheeseburger Plate. The burger was buttery, flavorful, and delicious. My only suggestion is that it could have been served a little hotter, especially since it comes on a sizzling hot plate. We stopped by on a random weekday around 11 a.m., and the diner was already bustling with customers. Even so, we were seated almost immediately. By noon, there was a noticeable line out the door waiting for tables. On a regular weekday, that's a pretty good sign that this place is a local favorite. You can really tell this is the kind of diner people return to again and again. It feels like generations of families have made it their go-to lunch spot, and it's wonderful to see a neighborhood restaurant with that kind of loyal following. The staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive, checking in throughout our meal to make sure everything was good. I can definitely see why this diner is so well loved. read more

This place came highly recommended by our friends in the area, a Cincinnati-style chili restaurant, which is well-known for its double-decker sandwiches, coneys, breakfast fare, and, of course, its three, four, five, and six-ways. They have a wide selection of various options, it has much more than outstanding chili. The place is very welcoming and inviting to all. We started of with the two of the Bavarian Pretzel with chili and beer cheese For my main course I opted for the Boss Hogg BBQ Burger, which is a 1/3lb. burger topped with pulled pork, BBQ sauce, bacon, Cheddar cheese, crispy onion. straws, pickles and mayo. My wife chose the Avocado BLT Burger which is a 1/3 lb. burger with sauteed onions, avocado, crisp bacon, lettuce, tomato, Pepperjack cheese, and mayo. Both were outstanding. She had the onion rings as a side, while I went with the Fried Jalapeño Caps with the Southwest sauce. They have a wide range of options other that chili. But if you love chili and you are in the area one place to consider is this place, the draw here is the "No Freakin' Way" Challenge is a legendary 8-lb food challenge The massive platter consists of four main ingredients: 2.5 lbs of steaming spaghetti, 2.5 lbs of their signature Cincinnati chili, 2 lbs of shredded cheddar cheese, topped with 1 lb of fried, pickled jalapeño caps. It is a true test of one's metal. You have 60 minutes to complete the challenge, if you fail you will not only have to pay the nearly $80 dollar price tag, you will be added to the "Wall of Shame". To me the risk was just not worth it. Although may have tried. If you are risk taker who enjoys food comeption, this challenge is for you! read more

What a great neighborhood place! My first time despite living here for a few years and a fantastic Thursday lunch. Easy parking in the shared lunch and the lunch line moved a lot faster than you would think. I ordered a double decker with goetta, corned beef and American cheese and it was fantastic. Don't forget a dessert! The case up front is full of yummy choices and we went with the carrot cake and something peanut butter and chocolatey which was fantastic. Check it out if you're in the area! read more

Blue Ash Chili - Double Decker (2 Meats) - Burgers Near Me - Blue Ash, Ohio

A diner with a huge menu. Anything you want breakfast, chili, salad, burgers, bowls, dinner and dessert. My uncle told me last weekend to try Blue Ash Chili. He enjoyed his breakfast. I had an appointment in the area and stopped in to grab breakfast. The meal I got was crazy portion size. I literally had leftovers for breakfast the next day. My eggs were perfect, a ton of bacon, my potatoes were good but somehow not very hot and the pancakes were fabulous. I did not like the syrup but I ate pancakes next day with maple syrup at home, yummy. It's a simple straight forward place, no extravagant piled on cakes or french toast, just solid food. I'm here for it. Service was great. People checked in on me constantly! read more

Seated at the counter since it was pretty busy. The waitress came by quickly and dropped of menus and took our drink orders. She came back pretty quick. My wife ordered the classic Cheeseburger and onion rings. I ordered the Cuban. Ok, this place , Blue Ash Chili, by name, you'd think was just another "chili parlor". Big NOPE on that. Plenty of other tasty items on the menu. But, a Cuban sandwich? Not exaggerating here, it was one of the best tasting Cuban sandwiches I've had. And I've been to Miami! And, it was huge. It comes in a hogie bun, grilled, just a touch of mustard, pickle, really tasty ham. Side order of crinkle cut fries, cooked crispy but not burnt or crunchy. The onion rings were real onions, not minced and formed into circles. All in all, really good food at a nice price, served up very quickly and with a smile. F you've not been to Blue Ash Chiki, you should try it! read more

I usually highly recommend Blue Ash Chili but I was very disappointed with my carryout order Tuesday night. I ordered a Cuban sandwich and onion rings. The onion rings were great, as usual, but the sandwich was bad. The meat tasted old and the sandwich had obviously been microwaved because the bread was like leather. For $22 I expect better. Very disappointed. read more

A meal at Blue Ash Chili is special - like a warm hug...from a Mom (or Dad) who really knows how to cook!! The multi-page menu offers dozens of options, and if those weren't enough, there's always a separate list of daily specials. The servers take good care of their customers; it's obvious from the camaraderie on the "sidelines" that the servers have been working together for a long time. This place has such a strong customer fan base that photos of some of their regulars are included in a huge mural by the entry. The Blue Ash Chili magic is waiting to turn you into a regular, too. read more

I got the Monte Cristo and it was 5 out of 5. Brussel Sprouts were amazing but was told it is only sold seasonal. My daughter had a Hawaiian dish. She had it before and loved it again. Service was 5 out of 5. We didn't know how to tip because there were so many. They split the tips. It was my Birthday so I ordered the lemon cake. Was told it won a award. Damn that was great too! They did an all around great job. read more

Update. The pastrami sandwich is legit. Had the 2 meat Pastrami and Pastrami on rye. Double decker sandwich which was close to 1lb of smoked brisket pastrami. For 12.49 it is the best deal I currently know of for a pastrami sandwich. It was 4"-5" high mostly meat! Got it togo for wife. Basically got 3 meals out of it. Quality of the meat was really good. Juicy, tender, slight smokey flavor. Top shelf Pastrami. Try this if you like good Pastrami. So far, I have had nothing at Blue Ash Chili that wasn't great. A great family place with lots of choices. I plan on eventually trying them all. Wish I had a took pic. read more

Great tasting and big portions. One of our favorite places to eat. A good selection of desserts too. Good for breakfast too.

Been on my list to try for years and finally got around to it. They have an expansive menu and by looks of the tables around us, people were taking advantage of it! But we were here for chili. We were there at lunch and there was a short line (that grew lingerie after we were seated - be prepared for a bit of a wait if you go during prime times). Onion rings were terrific. Our 3- and 4-ways were good, though we usually like our Cincinnati chili a little thicker. Still good taste, not spicy. We will come back to try other items on the menu! Servers were pleasant and efficient. Strip mall restaurant interior and parking lot. read more

Blue Ash Chili - 3-way and 4-way and onion rings. - Burgers Near Me - Blue Ash, Ohio

I love Cincinnati chili. Was on a breeze through town and chose this place over skyline. 6 way chili - very solid. Could have used a little more chili on it. Loved the bottle caps. Traveler 2 for the meatloaf sandwich was was raving about it. I also tried a chili cheese dog. It left a little to be desired as it was small but it was still good. Worth a stop! read more

Epic Cincinnati, Chile, an amazing sandwiches. I started eating at blue ash chili in 1976 and their sandwiches were 4 inches tall literally maybe even 5 inches. They serve traditional Cincinnati chili with beans, onions, cheese over spaghetti. Stop by almost 50 years later and while they have changed location, their food is still exactly the same as it was then. Go to blue ass chili and you will not be disappointed. read more

I met some local friends here for dinner while I was in town for work. They told me it was going to be a lot like Skyline Chili, and that's exactly what it was. I ordered the four-way, because that seemed like the thing to do. It was fine, but it's not really my favorite thing to eat, so I may not be the most objective judge. The rest of the menu was huge - I'm sure I could've found something else that would have been good. read more

Another one of our favorites of Cincinnati. Very attentive service. Loved my Chorizo burger as its spice was perfect. There was also plenty of avocado no skimping here. Busy establishment quick service but never felt rushed. read more

Blue Ash Chili is not a place I visit regularly as I'm on the opposite side of town. Last time I was there was at the old location. This location was nice, clean and modern. Still a great menu with many chili, salad , sandwich choices. Still a true staple in the neighborhood. read more

The wait staff were great, warm and welcoming. The chili and food overall was something I never have to eat again. Coconut cake was bland, dry and simply a waste of calories. The 6 way was packaged nicely since I did take it to go but overcooked pasta with meat sauce (chili) overly flavored with cinnamon accompanied with plain kidney beans, onions, cheese and jalapeño bottle caps is not something I will ever try again. Cincinnati can keep their chili. read more

The chili here is the best in Cincinnati in my opinion. It rich, thick and flavorful, not watery at all like some of the other chains. They have an extensive menu of sandwiches, burgers, and diner entrees too. And a great array of desserts! Wait staff is friendly and efficient. There are TVs on around the dining room and otherwise nice, fun diner decor. read more

I'm a long-time fan! Their double-decker sandwiches are great! Highly recommended! Go get you some!

My grandson is a fan of this place. He likes that he can get a PB&J and fries. We haven't been in awhile and stopped in for lunch recently. My grandson had his PB&J. My daughter a Turkey and Roast Beef Skinny Double and I ordered a new sandwich, the Chopped Italian. We also ordered the Gravy Cheese Fries to share. The Chopped Italian is too awkward to eat. It's the type of bun and how they cut it that is the problem. Most of the food fell out, the bread is very hard and very dry. Overall, the whole sandwich was surprising very dry for being an Italian meat sandwich. I wouldn't ordered it again. The service was good, as usual. The food was OK, except for mine. But I can make my grandson a PB&J at home. read more

Friendly customer service! They move quickly and I can't wait to get home to try this Chili! I recommend if you are in the area.

Just like pizza is different based on the locale, Cincinnati Chili is different than chili in other places. This blend of meat and tomatoes and spices isn't for everyone. Me, I mostly like it. I'm okay with having it annually and being okay. I stopped here because this was a DDD stop and yes, Guy Fieri's picture stands proud on the wall. I arrived at the start of the dinner rush and a lovely young girl took my order and a few minutes later, brought my dinner. I chose the SIX WAY which is a base of spaghetti, topped with chili, chopped onions, kidney beans, shredded cheddar cheese and yes, fried jalapenos. It was absolutely delicious and I managed to avoid wearing any of it. It was also one of the least expensive meals I had all week. [Review 20487 overall - 214 in Ohio - 1467 of 2023.] read more

Approaching 4 year anniversary at new location. Man ,time sure flies! I came back home for Chili Week 2025. Of course my first stop was here for a discounted 3-way. They've also concocted a new way, Nashville Hotway. I stopped back again this morning for the Hotway. They worked hard to develop the perfect flavor on the spaghetti. It's also topped with habanero cheese. Not burn your lips hot, but certainly hits you in the back of the throat. You need to stop by before it's gone, 3/01/25 is the last day. Habanero cheese is staying. read more

Last week I had the turkey bacon club at the tri-county location. After sales tax the bill was an even $14. Honestly, there was plenty of bacon made earlier that day and skipping on the turkey. Don't try to inflate the size of the sandwich by adding a center third slice of bread. Contact me 513.307.2409. read more

My wife, who was born and raised in Cincinnati, lived about five blocks away from the original Blue Ash Chili. She remembered her dad eating huge double stacked sandwiches and her regular-sized handheld also being filling. Time has changed over five decades, but the food remains the same - awesome (and still really big). If you're visiting Cincy, get an Uber there and enjoy! read more

Stopped in this afternoon to Blie Ash Chili. Restaurant was clean. Staff was very engaging. And attentive. I ordered a 3 way and 2 cheese coneys. Cause if chili is in your name then it must be your specialty right? Food was hot, good and the appearance was good. Price was about what you'd expect for what you order and portion sizes. If I'm ever in the area I might stop back. Would I suggest it? Sure. Would it go out of my way to return? Probably not. It's not one of those things I would say could be a regular destination for me. But, if you're in the area give it a try. read more

The server Emily B. Took our order and got it wrong it was delivered by other servers which wasn't problem. She went on a lunch break in between shifts and didn't say anything when we asked where she was she didn't know if she went home or on her break. Mean while we could see her sitting down and eating and when she came back she didn't acknowledge us or anything. You never know when a server trainer is waiting on you. So it was very disappointing for a first time visit,we had to flag someone down to order more water refills and our to go order smh servers share the tips by the way. The restaurant was clean and not busy we will not return sorry you never know when someone from the restaurant industry is the party you are waiting on please note! read more

It's been a long time since I had been to Blue Ash Chili. I had a couple of the cheese coneys and one with the friend jalapeños instead of a hot dog. Chili is very good. I did not love the buns on the coneys. Wound up eating the insides out with a fork. I'd probably go with a 3 way next time or maybe one of the delicious looking sandwiches. The staff was excellent. Great, super friendly service. Everyone watches every table it seems, so we never went more than a few moments without someone at least looking to see if we needed anything. Great family restaurant. Lots of families and groups enjoying a neighborhood institution. read more

We have had a consistently great experience at Blue Ash Chili. Feels like a neighborhood joint and has great food and service. Consistently excellent burgers. Our kids love the noodles with cheese and even the chicken soup is a favorite of the kids. Their sandwiches are excellent and the reuben is one of the best you'll find in the city. Only complaint is they don't advertise their ability to accommodate for gluten allergies. They have gluten free bread and can make gluten free pancakes. One of the members of our family has celiac and has never reacted. Can't say enough great things about this place. read more
