Gold Star holds a special place in my childhood memories. I have to have some every time I'm in the Cincinnati area. The bread is soft, chili is tasty, and the cheese is piled on. The server was very nice and even though it was lunchtime they weren't overly crowded. The ambiance is like any other fast food place but the floors and tables are kept clean.

Food is freshly prepared and served hot with a smile from our server. This is a great place to bring your family. We were pleasantly surprised to find the owners working so that their employees could have the holiday off. How special is that???

These milkshakes look yummy!

Our double decker BLT's we're exactly what we were craving! The bacon was perfectly crisp, the whole wheat toast toasted. Crisp pickle! Service was impeccable.

Chilli salad and chilli dogs Without bun(my request)
Julie M.

I actually enjoyed this restaurant. I tried similar competition but like it here. Staff were friendly and kind. Most importantly fast and delivered excellent service. I had chilli dogs and asked for it without the bun. NO PROBLEM. Also got the chilli salad mmm mmm good! Took leftover chilli dogs home because I just wanted a taste and was dining alone so couldn't share it. Yah ha! Lucky! I didn't have to share!! Ate leftovers for dinner. :). Good location and spacious dining for inside seating socially distant.will be back for my chilli salad to take a breake while running errands.

Small portion on a Regular size. Why is it Cincy Chili stores are skimping on what has to be the cheapest ingredients for any restaurant?

The food was great. It was our first visit - the Florence KY team is excellent and friendly. They…read moreare helpful and the inside of this location is very clean. The supplies for customers is well stocked and clean. My kid loves this place and we've been 3 times in 2 days. One thing about the Raisin Canes APP is it's a complete dinosaur. The location will be required to physically give you an actual physical , plastic rewards card by request only, and tell you to take it home and register it. The registration process is a dinosaur. If you don't choose a prefix for your name, e.g. "Mr, Ms, Miss..." it will not let you register. Talk about the 1980's. You can't see your password in the registration process to be sure they match. You'll never get this time back. And the Rewards, "card number" they require and the registration code on the back of this physical card is so tiny you'd better have a magnifying glass, don't be a grandparent, and have lots of patience. After 45 minutes I'm done trying to register this card. Too bad they don't join the modern world and just people sign up on the app without a physical member rewards card in our to earn rewards. In spite of this major letdown of the corporate office/ this restaurant and staff is fantastic and deserves full stars for excellence in every way. The "Raisin Canes", chicken was fresh and hot every time. Light, crisp batter. The fries were perfect, hot, fresh and crisp. And my kids love the Texas toast. And again this staff if absolutely top-notch! Good front end people who deserve to be there. Today we went back for lunch and a pleasant associate brought our food directly to our table. The presentation is beautifully arranged and clean baskets and paper. All new service-ware, everything looks and feels nice . I recommend this place! We'll be going several times per week. My kids are insisting on it. I'll have to wait for them to get modern and maybe get the app right (customers should NOT need a physical card) to register within a few years when they join the 2020's. But you should go to this location. They do Customer Service and chicken "right!" The line for drive thru is around the building and down the street for a reason. But go inside it's worth the experience. The bathrooms were clean also. Impressive.

I have been to several Raising Cane's restaurants over the past year or so. I see them get a lot of…read morehate on social media. "Bland", "tenders are too small"... I can honestly say I don't get it. We love us some Cane's. Yesterday, we were craving some Cane's, so we found this location on the way home from being away for a short weekend and this place was packed! Couldn't get in the drive as the line for the drive thru was wrapped around the building. Once we did manage to park, we quickly made our way inside only to find it packed as well. But the workers were on it. They know what they are doing at this location. Normally, spouse and I order the box. Has four tenders, slaw, fries and Texas toast. We always order and extra slice each. We also order an extra serving cup of sauce since you can never get enough. Yesterday... We did the Caniac Combo meal. Six tenders, slaw, fries and Texas toast. Extra toast. Then things got out of hand. We ordered a cup (yes, a cup) of Cane's Sauce. $5. Worth it. No regrets. Even tho the place was packed, the service was quick. While the restaurant wasn't necessarily noisy, one dip of a chicken tender in the cup of sauce and every sound melted away. Just two people with their Caniac meals and a cup of Heaven. The chicken was piping hot, as were the fries, the slaw is always great... but we added some Cane's Sauce to it and took it to another level. The tenders were large as were the portions of fries. Spouse couldn't finish the fries. They didn't skimp at all. We walked out with stomachs full. And plenty of Cane's Sauce left to enjoy at home. Definitely recommend.

Amazing small business. Outside patio was just perfect for lunch!…read more Thank you fellow Yelpers for the reviews of this gem. My husband had the salmon salad with blue cheese dressing. He enjoyed it. I had the chicken tenders with broccoli. The tenders were perfectly seasoned and crispy. Broccoli was steamed perfectly.

Also, as I started to…read morewrite this, I remembered that management reached out to me after our last visit and had I remembered last night, I would've asked if he was available, I'm sure he will see this review Food was great as always but the service was awful. After waiting for over 15 minutes to get asked if we wanted water, I had to get up from the table and physically go to the hostess stand to ask her who our server was ... we were given waters and our server finally showed up with an apology, but service did not improve throughout the dinner. Our friend had to get up as well and ask for any other drink after waiting several minutes with an empty glass. I asked for a dessert menu, she brought it, but then didn't return for at least another 10 minutes. Luckily, Dreamys Ice Cream is right around the corner and there we went, along with at least two other tables whose faces I recognized from the restaurant. Not sure why a restaurant this small should have service issues... we were there for at least one hour and 45 minutes.
