    Cheese Coney, Small 3 Way
    Shannon M.

    I retried Gold Star for lunch today as I'm normally a Skyline person, but received a gift card for Gold Star. I always order a Cheese Coney and 3 Way, so wanted to compare. What I call "vessels" for the chili (hot dog/ noodles) and the cheese taste almost identical from either chain. The main difference is the chili. Skyline is a tinge sweeter to me, and when I'm craving Cincinnati Chili, that's what I'm wanting. The Small 3 Way was also MUCH smaller than I anticipated. I didn't order one this time, but always recommend the milkshakes at Gold Star!

    Cheese coneys!

    I was in Kentucky to visit family and had to get my chili fix. First time I've been to this location. It was your average Gold Star. We seated ourselves in an open booth. Our server was friendly and helped us out with the menu. I had sworn there were combos, but didn't see them on the menu. She told us they still have them and rattled them all off from memory. I got three cheese coneys, with mustard, no onion. They were brought out quickly and hit the spot on a rainy day. The cheese was piled high and they tasted great.

    After watching the travel channel and watching 4 Coney places around the world - I suddenly developed a craving. I know there is a Gold Star down the street so I put on my bunny slippers and jumped in my car to begin my coney adventure. This location was staffed by adults who seemed to have work together for quite some time. I think it makes a difference. I ordered a couple of cheese coney's and fries. My food came out picture perfect and hot.. It was awesome - that is all i can say. It really hit the spot. If you have a craving for coneys - go to this location - you will be satisfied :-)

    I'm a healthy eater. If I lived in KY I'd never come here, simply because it doesn't sit well in the stomach. Meanwhile, having met a friend in town from Seattle, I had to take him to Gold Star. A trip to this region wouldn't be complete without it. (I bought him Skyline at the Red's game.) For fast food the chili here isn't bad. It's pretty tasty, in fact. I avoided the hot dogs and three way action and settled for a bit of chili on top of spaghetti, and kept it down to the kids size. With that it's pretty good and not too much to unsettle the stomach. My friend ordered a chili burrito which he demolished. If you're in the mood for fast food - and chili - you'll love this place. Good service and it won't burn a hole in your pocket, but use caution making a habit of it or you'll need larger clothes.

    Chilli cheese fries yummmm

    We ate in rather than do drive through. The food was great for a terrific value and the service was prompt polite and attentive. Definitely exceeded our expectations of sit down fast food.

    Must be a lot of mistakes for this to be necessary

    Always eating here on lunch, make sure you ask for the waitress Tracey, she's the bomb! The veggie chilling is awesome!

I will not be back at this location nor will I patronize any other locations that do not have a public facing drink station. The kiosks do not allow 'certain' food customizations nor the option to apply coupons or allow cash payments so the only option would be to have the order placed by a crew member. Which brings us to the next issue: There is no employee awareness with customers waiting to place orders. There were no less than 4 employees who walked by the front counter area and it was obvious they were all making an effort to avoid eye contact. This is not a good look. Not at all. It is very Poor Customer Service to have multiple people walking past the counter with no one acknowledging customers at the counter. Do better. It turns out that the person assembling orders and making drinks (out of sight of the register) was actually the register person. Not an efficient way of providing Customer Service nor is it that individual's fault that their other tasks keep them away from the front counter. They were very kind and friendly when placing the order but you can tell they were doing the work of more than one person. Drive thru was high volume at the time I visited. Maybe this location should close the dining room permanently and convert to a drive thru only location as it was obvious the Customer Service aspect was focused on serving the drive thru instead of the customers dining in.

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.
