We went tonight because its kids eat free on Wednesdays. We even drove out of our way because my dad was adamant on going to the Finneytown location. The parking lot was pretty full when we got there, I always see that as a GREAT sign. We were greeted by a young girl named Bree, my dad is a regular there, so he stopped and spoke to her. Which is always nice to see. Within a couple of seconds of sitting down, our server was there with a bright friendly smile on her face. Megan was awesome. Even though they were very busy, the service was top notch. The food was amazing. Everything was spot on. We never had an empty glass either, which I absolutely love. I like that this location has a separate area that is a little more quieter and a little less overwhelming than the big open area of the restaurant. read more

See all

Favorite place to eat. The food and service is fantastic. Great prices on the best food in Cincy!

It was my first time dining in at a Skyline and it didn't disappoint! We were seated and served promptly and the food was hot and fresh. I was surprised by how much I liked the mac 'n' cheese 5 way and always appreciate the crackers and hot sauce on the side! read more

Skyline Chili - 5 way with mac 'n' cheese - Fast Food Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Whoever runs this restaurant has a terrible location. Madison or Kelly is no help. This is seriously a joke. I don't understand how you expect a customer to find hair on food and expect them to still decide which items are going to get ate. Disgusting! For Madison to debate with me about refunding just a 3 Way when $45 was thrown down the trash is beyond me. If this is the run around you guys will give someone it shows you don't care, yall just want money. Don't understand how you guys are in business. No wonder your team have nasty attitudes, your managements attitudes addressing situations is about the same. No one wants to return to that location even for a credit. Pathetic place! read more

To all of you who complain about the service, please remember that these people work very hard and naturally, they have good days and bad days. Complaining because you didn't get extra cheese on your coney doesn't help. I've worked at 5 restaurants myself so I know what I am talking about. This location has the BEST chili, hands-down. I eat here all the time and the food is perfect, served with a smile. The servers are super friendly and I always get huge portions - without even asking. They stop by regularly to see if you need anything. The place is clean and the food is great. read more

I'm not sure if this Skyline is under new ownership, but it used to be a great experience with friendly staff. Recently, it seems there may have been some changes. We called ahead to let them know we had a large group, and everything seemed fine--until we arrived. Another group had been seated where we were supposed to be, which was understandable, but we still needed accommodations for our group. Unfortunately, the manager behind the counter was very unhelpful and had a noticeable attitude. Rather than being accommodating, she came across as rude and gave the impression she didn't value our business. Thankfully, another manager stepped in, and they went above and beyond to find a spot that worked for us. Aside from that one issue, our overall experience was great. The food was excellent, and our server was absolutely fantastic. She handled our large group with care and received wonderful support from the rest of the team. To the management: I'd suggest reconsidering the person behind the counter. A better attitude could make a world of difference. Kudos to the rest of the staff--keep up the great work! read more

Moved nearby and have gone consistently recently. The portions on my 3 ways are consistently smaller than any other Skyline I've been to. I have to ask for crackers every time or else I won't receive any. I ordered chilitos to switch it up and I did not like the way they made them. Too much cheese and hardly any chili. It was basically wet noodles with a shit load of melted cheese in a tortilla. I also had a large drink given to me half way full in the drive thru. Never in my life have I had to ask a drive thru to fill up my drink fully until I went to this Skyline. This is a poorly ran Skyline tarnishing the great name. read more

Received a call from Kelly (Chelsea's boss). She apologized many times and explained that Chelsea should not have been taking calls if she had a bad day. She further explained that it was unreasonable to tell me to come back and get the 2 coneys that were made incorrectly. It would have been about 45 mins round trip to replace the coneys. She is a wonderful representative of her Owners two restaurants. Kelly definitely took care of the issue. read more

Always consistent, always good sit down fast food option! Husband isn't from the area, so his experience is different from someone who grew up here. Service is good! Atmosphere keeps it light and relaxing! read more

Came to this location today. Dropped in to purchase a chili cheese sandwich an of order fries with a sweet tea. I was greeted by 3 workers when I enter the atmosphere. The boy working the from asked if I wanted to dine in or for it to be a carry out. I stated it would be to go. After waiting for my food, I decided to sit down at a table to clear my head, and kill time before I had to pick up my baby! The young man explained to me that he enjoyed working there, It was his second day, and I said it's probably pretty easy. ( he was very friendly and welcoming) We had a small talk while he was taking my order. After he brought me my food I asked him if it was OK if I just sit right there to nibble on my french fries, he said that should be fine go ahead. As I was eating scrolling my phone, I was addressed by the only black worker in the restaurant who was actually on the grill and she told me I could not sit there unless I paid $.53. She explained to me that her manager wanted her to come over and asked me for $.53 for dining in. I explained to her that I was not utilizing a sever and didn't understand why I needed to pay when I was okayed to sit here. I'm just sitting in the chair nibbling on my fries to kill time. I asked if I needed to move ... go check Google for the rest! But I won't ever step foot back in this location or patronize this place again!!!!! You read more

Today was not a good day to visit the Finneytown location. They were busy, it was lunch. Our server finally acknowledged us and said she would be back to take our order. No problem. What went terribly wrong is when we had to wave at her to remind her we still had not ordered. At that point the server, Cecily responded with a shocking, rude, non apologetic remark. I have never had a server ever be so rude as Cecily. Enough so, we questioned leaving at that point but only had so much time left to eat lunch. At her next visit to the table, she again asked if we were in a hurry. I am not sure that I can fully review this location due to the absolute lack of basic customer service skills in this server. read more

Skyline Chili - Dining area- Finnytown - Fast Food Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

The second bite of a Coney is possibly the best second bite of any food experience. My Wife tried it for the first time and was amazed

Good food it's better than others. The service is good and if you frequent it the servers will say hi and they are always friendly. When they shout out orders it makes it loud. I never said it was fancy. Otherwise it's is very family friendly. read more

The service was exceptional the food was delicious the manager was courteous and polite the facility is clean and very well kept, great business, keep up the good work, great establishment for our fine City you represent us well read more

This place is pure magic absolutely the most amazing food that has ever been created the wonderful hotdog smothered with cinnamon based chili a little mustard a little onion and then 17 pounds of thinly shredded cheese piled so incredibly high all on one magical dog it is the most amazing place in the world. I visit once a year and average about 8 cheese coneys a day. It does take a toll on me (and those near me). But it's the price you have to pay. It's truly a shame that people with lots of $ don't open these in every city in America. read more

Best Feature: The classic Cincinnati chili! Worst Feature: Haven't seen many changes with the menu I'll admit it - I'm a true Cincinnatian and I looooove Skyline Chili! Growing up, I have eaten many a meal at Skyline Chili. My high school years were spent frequenting the local Skyline restaurant and enjoying their various dishes. This is one location I haven't visited, so it was nice to stop in and support the franchise in another part of town. The building was previously home for Pizza Hut, and this is evident when you see the restaurant. Now, however, it is home to the city's famous chili, and the chili does not disappoint! The taste of the food was splendid as always, and I enjoyed a bowl of chili and a chili cheese sandwich. One thing I love about Skyline is how they serve chili in so many ways. It's hard not to find something to eat there, and they are willing to customize the dish to your liking. Over the years, however, I've noticed they have not really done anything spectacularly different; the menu designs are the same, as is the variety of dishes they offer. Don't get me wrong - the dishes are great, but I'd love to see something exciting and new to catch my attention and bring me in. As a result, I don't go to Skyline as much anymore. It IS possible to get burned out on chili, especially when you can find different kinds of chili around the city as well. The service here was fabulous - the waitress was very attentive, pleasant, and was quick to provide us with refills and inquire about our experience. In fact, much of the staff was smiley and friendly. Despite the lack of innovation with food dishes, Skyline is delicious - and this restaurant continues to fortify the solid and impressive reputation of the Skyline chain! If you're in the area and love yourself some Skyline Chili, stop in! read more

The chili and cheese is good and the atmosphere is great. But the ICE.... ohhhhh the ice. Felt like a refreshing iceberg floating down the Antarctic Ocean going down my throat with every sip of water. No cap. read more

Skyline Chili - ICE - Fast Food Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

We haven't been here in a few months. After sitting down, we waited a while for anyone to come to us. Then a server wanted to come get drinks and another girl said no... that was slightly annoying. Then a server got our drinks and said our actual server would get take our food. It was definitely the longest we've ever had to wait and it wasn't even that busy. The only other negative thing I have to say is that my boyfriend asked for more crackers and she didn't bring them until after our food came. Food was fine, service was annoying. read more

When you eat at skyline you pretty much know what to expect. The chili always tastes the same-which is good. The only difference is the location & staff. We went for a quick bite & our server was friendly and fast. It was "skyway" time so we got twice the cheese for the same price. The prices have gone up-what hasn't? So my daughter & I split the large. It was huge! Plenty to satisfy & saved a few bucks. Good meal! read more

Skyline Chili - a large pile of shredded cheese on a plate - Fast Food Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

While in town I kept hearin Cincinnati Chili this, Cincinnati chilli that as well as stuff like "Oh you gotta try the Cincinnati chili at Skyline it's great!" I know a thing or two about Chili and "great" is a bit of a stretch. I happen to make a homeade chile that will knock your socks off, in fact I've been thinkin about entering one of those chili contests you see on tv if the opportunity ever presents itself. Anywayz a more apt description for this place is "good in a pinch", or "as good as Wendy's...maybe better." If folks in Cincinnati are using Skyline as the gold standard for their namesake chili they may wanna rethink that dubious distinction. Forgive my cynicism but I wouldn't be this critical if the place weren't over hyped by the local yokels. I don't want this to reflect badly on Cincinnati as a whole because I really enjoy the city and the friendly folks there so I'm adding a 3rd star out've heartfelt sentiment for the place. Hope to see ya'll again soon! read more

my food was cold. the service was slow when there was only three tables in the whole restaurant. customers we're having to get there own forks and knives from the server station. All around terrible experience. read more

2nd best skyline in the city. The food comes out extremely fast. Just love love love their cheese! Be ware that on Friday night during the school year they are crowded due to football/basketball games at the surrounding high schools. read more

I had lunch here recently, and I continue to be impressed with the quick service and quality of the food at this quick-service Cincinnati chain. I had a 3-way chili, which is spaghetti covered with chili and then covered with shredded cheddar cheese. Trust me, it tastes way better than it sounds if you haven't tried it yet. It is so easy to sub in their vegetarian chili for virtually any dish. read more

How can you not give Skyline 5 stars? That really could complete my review, but I'll get a bit more specific. This is the Skyline closest to where I work, and I've always been happy with my meals here. The staff is friendly and my order has always been correct, even though I usually go through the drive-thru. If you're not from Cincinnati and don't know what to do with yourself...start with a 3-way (it's not as dirty as it sounds, I promise) and a cheese coney. They also have delicious burritos and other meals. Even if you don't eat meat, there are other options here. The greek salad is great (and I usually don't bother with salad when there is chili and cheese around) and they have good baked potatoes as well. For some reason Skyline hot sauce tastes better than any other hot sauce on earth to me, although other people tell me it's no different. Maybe it's just more delicious because it's on top of Skyline, and pretty much anything would taste better that way. Skyline. Delicious. Eat there. read more

Although the page lists this as Mexican, it is not. The only people this will confuse are out of towners, so not a big deal. This particular location is great and my wife and I are frequent visitors. We had one problem one night where we found broken glass in a 3-way, but they fixed it for us, realized what happened to cause it and we've never had a problem there again. read more

I'm done with this Skyline. They have signs that say "This table reserved for a party of 3 or more...", no Wi-fi, dirty floor, dirty windows. They were soaking the dirty parts to the soda dispenser at the server station in the middle of the restaurant. I wonder why there were less than 6 guests there at 5:30 pm. The worst was my Greek salad. The lettuce was tuff, the banana peppers were old with spots and the feta cheese was yellowish. This is my third visit to this Skyline, and my last. read more

I love this skyline. It was great for after highschool football games back in the day and it's great for a quick lunch. They people are really nice that work here and how can you live in Cincinnati and NOT love skyline? read more

This is a nice quick place to grab your food to go or dine in. Sometimes the drive thru is a little slow, but overall I definitely go back!

they coneys be pretty good tho no cap i love them coney doe yum yum in my yum tum tum

My way to stop for a quick lunch or dinner. Extremely friendly staff and a moth full of delicious conneys. Great atmosphere, family friendly, and clean restaurant (fast food) for a quick stop. I have tried a lot more, better and tasteful chilis. But hey, for a couple of bucks you can't beat the fusion of flavors in a conney. read more

This is THE WORST skyline ive ever been to!!!!! Ive been eating at skyline for 10+ years and have been to at least two dozen locations. Ive been to this one roughly 5-8 times. My order has never been right and the two managers Ive had contact with have terrible attitudes...frowned faces all the time...slamming things. One even muttered something under his breath while i was waiting on my food. He clearly thought i was being impatient and didnt have the spine to say it maturely. I do not like the negativity coming from this store in what is normally a bright wholesome atmosphere. I now avoid this location at all cost. read more

This Skyline will never get our business again. I ordered two 3 way combos (#4), and one kid's 3 way combo. Keep in mind, the #4 combo is close to $10. It includes a cheese coney and a drink. When we got home, we pulled three kid's 3 ways from the bag. Surely this couldn't be right I thought, considering it wasn't on the kid's menu, and cost me just about $10. I called the store and was told that there was no mistake, and that the combo #4 does come with a kid's size 3 way. I then explained that they forgot the Oreo cookie in the kid's meal. The girl told me to come back up and she'll give us an Oreo. I explained how inconvenient it was for us to pack back up and drive all the way back to the store for a cookie. She then started patronizing me and in the most condescending tone said, I'll tell you what, I can give you two Oreo's and I'll even throw in a dum dum sucker! I then asked to speak with the manager and she told me she was the manager. Her name is Kelly and she was extremely rude. She obviously knows nothing about customer service, or simply doesn't care. read more
