Let me start by saying this place gave me thee worst stomach cramps. The employee at the drive thru window was very nice. And the food was like a meal you'd crave back in your childhood. But I will not be back because it made me so sick after. read more

This is the worst Skyline in the Dayton area. I feel bad for anyone going to Skyline for the first time and experiencing this restaurant, as it gives Skyline a bad name. Skimpy serving sizes and slow service. I ordered my usual buffalo chicken wrap, chilito, and fries. The wrap had about 8 cubes of chicken in it and barely any cheese, far from the signature mound of cheddar you get with any Skyline product. The chilito was pathetic, smaller than a Taco Bell chilito. The fries were soggy and undercooked, and they gave me less than half a container. The Dayton Mall skyline gives you a full bag, probably over a pound. Very disappointing overall. read more

Skyline Chili - Soggy fries - Fast Food Near Me - Beavercreek, Ohio

Always great! We stop here whenever we pass through! Gottta have a five way and coney

Food is the best it's classic comfort food that you have to try. Unique to this area of the Us

Service was amazing.. BUT.... -it would help if the lady cleaning, would step in, to help the ONE lady serving the full & busy dining rooms. -food was good, just took a tad longer (which was okay) -we were very lenient with drink refills and wait times, as there was one lady working the lobby as stated beforehand... that wasnt the issue. ----MY ONLY ISSUE WAS THAT NO ONE WAS HELPING HER. there was 3-4 people in the kitchen area, one cleaning & ONE serving THE ENTIRE lobby. ---- read more

Anytime I visit Ohio if I get a chance I try to grab skyline. I was able to get my "fix" last night. The waitress was great and very attentive and the food all came out really fast. The place gives off a diner vibe which is what they are shooting for with the chain. I opted for a small 3-way and a cheese coney. The 3-way was just as good as always. Sadly the coney was a little on the meh side. The hot dog tasted a bit off and the bun was soggy and mushy (it tasted like I had sat in some water). I could only eat about half the dog but the 3 way was wiped clean. If you like skyline then you won't be disappointed with this. read more

Great stop for travelers as well as locals Consistently good chili and service We like the 4-Way chili spaghetti with onions, but you can get it with beans if you prefer read more

Heard a lot about their hot dogs. Cheese overload and sparse chili. You could hardly taste the hotdog. Not for me. One and done.

If I could give 100 stars I would. My server was amazing, kept checking in with me on my 4-way which was spectacular. It was everything I wanted and more. I loved the energy between all the kids working there, it was happy, they helped each other, joked around, there was laughter and happy customers. Whoever owns this franchise, keep making your employees happy and hang onto this team (3/30). As a Customer I can't say enough good stuff, my bill was only $10, but my server got a $10 tip. read more

TL;DR: Skyline is a love it or hate it type of food. It's not chili in the traditional sense, so it would likely go better if you don't think of it as chili. If you've never had it, try it once and decide for yourself. It's just not for me. This location: I've gone to this location a time or two with friends. The service was adequate, nothing special but nothing bad either. The food: Ok, so here's the real deal and what this review really tries to capture. This is a love it or hate it type of food. To the point that my coworkers and I have had animated and rather amusing debates on if skyline is the best food ever or if you'd let yourself starve rather than eat it. There really doesn't seem to be much of an in between. Here's my take on it... I grew up eating hearty Oklahoma/Texas chili, so to me Skyline isn't so much chili as meat soup. They overload everything with cheddar cheese and the idea of putting this on top of pasta is ridiculous for me. The chili has a sort of cinnamon/chocolate sweetness to it that I didn't care for and is definitely not hearty in the least. Overall: So what does this all mean and why so long a review for one star. Even though I'd never eat it again, some people seem to genuinely love this stuff... like multi hour argument about how great it is kind of love. So if you want to join the great debate, give it a try (I'd start with just one item, you'll know if it's for you or not) and then choose your side. read more

When you are in Ohio and in need of some amazing local "comfort" food just plug Skyline Chili into your Yelp app and hit directions and you are SET! Super casual, super friendly staff, super good food, super great prices! I'm a 5-Way guy and that never disappoints. Spaghetti noodles, Skyline Chili, chopped onions, red kidney beans and MOUNDS and MOUNDS of shredded cheese on top. This time I got it with the Habanero cheese on top instead of the classic Cheddar Cheese....it was SO good! Just a nice kick of beat added to that amazing Skyline Chili flavor. One hint, if you are wearing a shirt that you don't want to get splattered with food...ask for a bib! Yes, they have then and they are mostly handed out to adults. No matter how hard you try to be careful, it will be stained. So be warned! Honestly, you'll never go wrong with a big plate of Skyline Chili...even if you don't try it "5-ways!" read more

Skyline Chili - 5-Way with Habanero Cheese...yummo! - Fast Food Near Me - Beavercreek, Ohio

It's Skyline folks. You either love it, loathe it, or tolerate its existence on the planet. At the end of the day, their recipe is "unique"-- more dark, brooding, angry, oddly textured, with notes of spices that typically don't occur in what most Americans consider chili. Is it cinnamon? On a cold day, when a hot food item is what you crave, yeah, I guess SC would suffice. They provide so much of their "signature" cheese that seems to convey the hope that ooooey goooey dairy will enhance the trademarked signature SC flavor profile. Toss enough cheese and onions on anything and all you taste is-- you guessed it-- cheese and onions. I can't begrudge SC-- they appear to have a fiercely loyal following. It just isn't what I consider the chili of my youth ( loaded with beans, diced or stewed tomatoes, ground beef, and chili powder and served in a big pot with saltine crackers which were crushed between your hands and sprinkled into your piping bowl-- not the oyster type crackers which SC provides). Footnote: oyster crackers belong in a thick chowder, not chili ! read more

We live in Minnesota and love Skyline Chili. It's the best fast food in the Cincinnati/Dayton area. Our experience on Memorial Day 2021 with server Morgan was excellent. She was quick and very attentive to the six of us who came for the 3-way and burrito. First time my son tried the burrito and he loved it. We will be back again when we visit family in Ohio. read more

Did drive thru . Ordered large 5 way. It has no onion,not enough chili to even mix in. Dry spaghetti mostly. Won't beback.

I came here because I used to eat at the location in Florida pretty often after school while I was in grade school. Skyline chili is a staple to Ohio and it is something everyone needs to experience. Regardless of your likes or dislikes with chili, this is on another level. I usually get the 4-way with onions and it is loaded with cheese and comes with a side of oyster crackers. They also have hot sauce on the tables which is nothing like tobasco or crystals, it's better! The price is cheap and the food is delicious. They also have other options like chili dogs and chili fries. You just have to go try it! read more

This place has fallen off so hard. Gone is the friendliness and food that brought me in. Now it's just meth addicts that don't even remember to bring your drinks or food. I've gone from going multiple times a week to once or twice a year read more

Skyline Chili is great! The service is great too! I had a bowl of just their chili with sour cream, onions, and cheese. And boy there was a lot of cheese on it. Also when you sit, they bring you over a small bowl of oyster crackers to add into your meal. If it's your first time here, you just walk in and sit wherever you want. Someone comes over to your table and asks if you need a menu or if you already know what you want. Most people already know what they want. What they're famous for are their coneys and their ways. We also shared some chili cheese fries and that was good too. I would be back. Also, if you're an employee of WPAFB, you get a discount! read more

This is definitely making my "Taste of Ohio" list! Wow! Skyline Chili seems to be a really neat and comfy local place to enjoy a meal away from the mundane restaurant scene of today's world within this price range. They have a really neat story too, apparently the original founding family made their chili in Cinci, used all their own recipes, and were Greek! You can really taste the Greek influence in their food, and the consistency seems to be there too which I really appreciate! Their chili, upon first bite, really made my day! It is absolutely not your typical chili, what a treat. What a flavor! So delicate yet rich! They absolutely pile cheese on almost everything they serve, which I love, and the little oyster crackers at the table and samples of their food are just too fun! They have a kids event once a week if you have little ones, so be sure to check them out! read more

Skyline Chili - Wowsa that's a lot of cheese! Amazing chili! Wow! - Fast Food Near Me - Beavercreek, Ohio

We stopped here for lunch today and it was good Skyline. The drive thru was full and the dining room was hopping. The staff was attentive, prompt and made sure to check on us regularly. We didn't need a menu because if you've been to Skyline, you don't need one. You already know. Our food came out to us within 5 min of ordering and it was hot/fresh. Coneys have the ability to get soggy if they sit to long after being made. Not these. read more

They say when in Rome, do what the Romans do. Well this is Dayton, not Rome so I will stick to what I know and Skyline isnt it. You definitely have to have grown up on this stuff to think it is good. I have not encountered one person that is not from Ohio that actually likes it. I was excited because I saw it on the food network or travel channel several years ago and it looked soooo good and said if I ever go to Ohio, I have to try Skyline chili. Who doesnt like chili, cheese and onions??? I took one bite and thought it was very weird tasting but I tried to take a second bite and I LITERALLY gagged. It's not the southwestern style chili that most of us are used to. There are some spices in there like cloves and cinnamon...stuff that traditionally doesnt go in chili. Needless to say, I wont be returning and I threw my chili away. I really had high hopes for this place. One of my foodies dreams was crushed that day. read more

What can I say about this establishment. Incredible building with a modern theme that breathes life and excitement to all those lucky enough to be inside. Workers laughing, must be the great staffing. Our waitress make a connection and an effort to make our day a tiny bit better. Hot sauce is not from the depths of hell. But neighboring village with a classy spice that kicks just right. All in all outstanding servitude is apparent and those who find themselves in the Xenia area I highly recommend read more

Yummy coneys, fries, and burritos. Clean with great staff. A classic!! Wish we had one on WV!!

Highly recommend this place to try if in the Wright-Patterson AFB area. Something different and interesting. The coneys I ordered was good as well as the spaghetti. I think all that cheese they put on has something to do with it :-) read more

Always enjoy coming here when in Dayton. Fast service and friendly staff. Love the coneys with habanero cheese.

I grew up in Ohio and lived there for 18 years. Then, I returned with my husband and two children and stayed for another 4 1/2 years. Never did Skyline spark my interest. Until I returned with an evaluation team and a guy from Iowa said, "We must try Skyline!" One of our escorts took us to this Fairborn location. We were greeted by an enthusiastic staff and our group of 8 was seated at the counter. We could see the entire food operation from our seats. A staff member was aerating the cheese while wearing plastic gloves. The entire area was spotless and organized. I ordered the 5-way: steaming spaghetti covered with chili (ingredients include cocoa and cinnamon) topped with a huge mound of cheddar cheese-add onions and beans. They accidentally delivered a Coney to me by accident. I ate it anyway and they did not charge me. The Coney consists of a hot dog in a steamed bun with mustard, topped with their chili, onions, and another mound of shredded cheddar. Everyone left with a bottle of Skyline hot sauce. This was a fun dining experience. I would do it again! A friend of mine told me about his frozen Skyline experience. I don't think it could be the same without the atmosphere, staff, and accompaniments. read more

If I could give 10 stars I would. I have reminisced about a three way from Skyline Chili for 30 years. As we were traveling through Ohio, there was no way we could not stop in. Unbelievable taste, fresh, hot and worth every minute of a two hour detour. My husband, who had never had Skyline before was truly impressed. He suggests to have the Habanero cheese as it is no too hot and just right. There are three sizes to choose from; when at first I saw my small size I thought I would need to order another, however it turned out to be the perfect option. Our waitress, Izzy, was especially a delight. Super fast and competent service with a super sweet and genuine smile. Thank you Skyline and Izzy for a positively awesome experience! read more

I kind of missed Cincinnati, so I visited Skyline Chili to taste some spaghetti smothered with hot chili, beans, onions, and cheese. The server and cashier were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant is comfy and quiet. Their menu has everything chili. I ordered the 3-way chili spaghetti and a hot black tea. The chili tasted salty, but it's so addicting to the taste buds. The onions helped with the sharp flavor, which I enjoy very much. The cheese, however, looked like a mountain, and it turned into a ball once I put most of it to the side. I enjoyed the tea after my meal, especially since the salty ingredients churned in my stomach. I really enjoy dining here. I realize that they sell frozen Skyline Chili at grocery stores, but it's always nice to have a dine-in experience with freshly prepared food. In the future, I would bring someone who has never tried it before! read more

I'm breaking my "no review before a second visit" rule again, but I had to speak to the widely disparate reviews. I ordered the signature dish (Cincinnati-style chili) and found it tasted exactly as I expected. I would have preferred more thermal heat and less salt, but this restaurant is corporate-owned and serves the original 1949 recipe as its Greek-immigrant developer intended. According to the official literature, this style derives from a specific Greek family's home cooking. Skyline Chili has little or no spiciness, is served at a tepid temperature, over spaghetti with a ton of cheddar cheese that is not intended to melt. You are supposed to add the hot sauce (on the tables) to your personal taste. Diners need to read the menu carefully to understand the five different ways Skyline Chili is served, and realize that comparisons to other chilis is not useful. It does not, and was never meant to, resemble standard chilis. Skyline Chili features cinnamon and chocolate along with chili powder. It's like the difference between Puebla-style mole and a Sonoran-style enchilada sauce. Both are excellent over chicken, but they taste different. Now it is reasonable to complain if the spaghetti is over cooked, as some have. Mine was cooked to the American (more than al dente) standard. I found the service excellent and friendly, but I came on a Sunday and they weren't crowded. I love Tex-Mex style chilis, too. I prefer less salt, and I like my cheese melted over a thermally hot sauce. Skyline Chili disappoints me there, but it's not served that way intentionally, and I try to remember that it is nice to enjoy a different culinary option. This is a great place to take kids because there is a Coney-dog option. The hot dogs are not kosher, but a mix of pork, beef, and maybe turkey. If you're a health fanatic or counting calories, order the smallest size, with onions and beans, and half the cheese. Then skip dinner. Eating at Skyline Chili more often than twice a month will grow your waistline more than you want. read more

Just moved here and the great reviews must be from employees and owner friends. This is the worst excuse for chili or coney dogs I have ever had. First the "hotdog" is a Vienna Sausage which is disgusting. Second it is half the size of a normal coney dog yet costs as much or more. The "chili" tastes like pumpkin pie spice and is not warm enough to melt the cheese. The mustard & chipped onions were ok. BTW it's even worse at the Reds stadium. Pass on this, you'll save yourself some money and time in the restroom. read more

Great food, great prices. Just make sure to keep your afternoon free for a follow-up date with the porcelain throne.

What the hell did I just eat? I can't believe this place has such amazing recommendations and reviews. This was the worst chili my mouth has ever experienced. I was appalled by the fact they even consider this chili and to add insult to injury.. they add a ridiculous amount of cheese to every dish. At least melt it.. Or make the "chili" hot enough so that it will melt.. Do something! I rather step in a room full of Legos barefoot than ever eat at this repulsive "wanting to be chili" joint. read more

I heart Skyline chili. Food is fresh, fast, and consistent. Service is usually impeccable. Believe it or not I actually have not a negative thing to say about anything. This business seems to pride themselves on not only their food but the outstanding attention they bestow upon their guests. This location is much the same as all of the rest. We will be back! read more

Told that it was a must stop during a work trip but I just didn't get it because I prefer my chili a little more hearty with beans & not with cinnamon, must be an Ohio thing, which is ok for variety sake. 3 stars mainly for the excellent service and I can at least say that I've checked it out. read more
