Three way
Scott N.

After moving back from California, we ordered Door Dash often. We ordered from Skyline a few times. My favorites are conies and they were quite delicious delivered. The cheese was already melted, but boy they hit the spot! I also had chili, which is not a standard for me. So cheesy and delicious. Skyline satisfied our "Welcome back to Cincinnati" urges.

This Skyline Chili is across the street from an O'Reilly's and diagonally across from a Dollar Tree with a drive thru and plenty of parking. Because we were visiting Cincinnati, we wanted to try Cincinnati chili and why not try it at Skyline Chili (surprisingly this was created by immigrants who immigrated to Cincinnati during the 1920s/ 1930s), since they seem to be a big chain here in Cincinnati. My husband and I came by this location last Saturday, around 7:20 pm. Because there was a long line for the drive thru, we opted to park and go inside. When we came in, we were greeted by a friendly employee behind the register. After looking over the menu, we ended up ordering: Regular 3 way Chili, $8.19 before tax- This entrée is chili served on top of a bed of noodles. And on top of the chili is a huge amount of shredded yellow cheese. I asked for the cheese on the side but dumped the entire bag on the chili just for the photo. And then I removed most of the cheese because that is just way too much cheese for me and my husband. The chili has a strong flavor of Mediterranean spices, especially anise and cumin. What makes Cincinnati style chili different from regular chili is that it is also sweeter too, as it is known that cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, allspice may be used in one's recipe (and even sometimes cocoa powder). This chili was meaty but on the thinner side (which is also something I had read that Cincinnati typically is and maybe not as thick as regular chili). I thought the chili was good to try but think the anise was really strong and I usually don't like that licorice like flavor (well only in very small dosages). My husband really liked the chili because it was something different. The portion size of the regular is a good size to share for 2 people. Chili Cheese Sandwich, $2.79 before tax- Just to let you know that the chili cheese sandwich and cheese coney are the same price, so you are better off ordering that instead of this. This chili cheese sandwich is just chili and cheese placed in a hot dog bun. My husband just wanted to order this because he wanted to try what a chili cheese sandwich was. I would have preferred the chili cheese dog though. It was okay but would have been better with a hot dog. ----------------------------- (Total= $11.72 after tax) Service was friendly. The girl who took our order made small talk with us and found out that we aren't from the area, but from California. Inside the restaurant, there looked to be plenty of booths. There were a few tables of guests enjoying their meals. Overall, I am glad we were able to try Cincinnati chili but not too sure if it is for me, but would be willing to try it again.

So I am a Cincinnati native and have grown up on Skyline Chili and absolutely love it. I eat Skyline every time I visit home and have had countless trips to Skyline; however, on this particular trip to Skyline in a post-COVID world, I thought it was important to shift my focus from how much I love coneys to how impressed I was with the safety precautions taken to ensure that a customer's dining experience was a safe and comfortable one. The first thing I noticed was seating. Skyline is typically a seat yourself kind of restaurant and you get the thrill of picking any clean table. This still rings true to the Delhi location on this day; however, there are now signs (see attached photos) on the table letting you know which ones have been cleaned, making it very easy to pick a spot. Next, service itself. Skyline is known for serving its Oyster crackers in a bowl. Instead, they are now individually packaged in order to provide less potential exposure. Additionally, all servers were wearing gloves and masks. Any time the server brought a lose utensil like a fork or knife, it was placed in a cup so there was no possibility of a customer touching an employee's gloved hand while reaching for a utensil. The food was warm and quick like always. Lastly, the check out procedure. Typically, at the end of the meal Skyline customers walk up and wait in a queue to pay; however, now customers can turn a sign (see photos) to indicate they are done with their meal and ready for the server to pay. The server then takes care of the check; reducing the amount of foot traffic in the restaurant, as well as the amount of people customer's interact with. An important thing to note is that if you are paying with card, you must tip with cash, if you so desire. Overall, I was incredibly impressed by the service and safety precautions taken in the face of this health crisis and highly recommend Skyline in Delhi to anyone looking for a safe dining out option.

chili cheese fries
eliza b.

this place is the jam. the cheesy goodness that is served up here is like nothing else. the coneys are outstanding, and there are no words for the chili cheese fries. everything was great, cheap, and fattening. which is exactly how it should be!

This is one of the great skyline locations. Portions are always great. Consistently good. The kitchen guy, Elijah, works his tail off keeping the place clean.

Milkman, you were so, so, so good to me! I've never been into the restaurant, though I have gotten…read moreDoorDash once before. It was as delicious as I wanted it to be! When my friend and I walked in, we were greeted by such a sweet staff who immediately welcomed us in, shared their thoughts on the menu (since we were first-timers), and suggested we leave a review (they were so lovely, so how could we not!) The entire restaurant feels like the diner Sam worked at in Cinderella Story from the early 2000s - very vintage, very retro, very 50s! It's what I imagine restaurants looking like when my grandparents went on dates when they were my age. I had gotten the tofu nugs via DoorDash, which were better IRL and the milkshake was scrumptious too! My friend got the Milkman Burger, fries, and a fruity pebbles shake. It was all great but let me tell ya...we had this meal almost two weeks ago and I'm STILL dreaming of those French fries. I have had so many iterations of fried potato before...shoestring, steak, wedges, sweet potato, those made from yuca, curly, dipped in ice cream, etc. and these are the best fries I've had in my life. If I could live off the fries, I would. They were that good. I already have plans to share this place with other friends of mine as it has officially worked its way into the rotation for me!

Absolutely love milkman! It's a consistent experience every time and I love the food! I get the…read moredeluxe burger with no bun and a side of fries with their house sauce and wow!

It's always nice to have friendly staff and reasonable prices... like all the gold stars are aligning. As far as the meal itself was concerned: their chili is different enough from its competitors to be unique but similar enough that to me, it makes it a tossup on where it falls on my Cincinnati chili rank list. Just like Skyline and GS -- it's pretty doggone good. I had my three-way in the park nearby (wow, let's not take that sentence out of context!).

Right off the bat, the staff was incredibly welcoming. The menu is straight forward and had a break down of what they offer. I had to try the coneys, but their double decker sandwiches also sound amazing (maybe for another day.) I decided on 3 coneys and an order of chili cheese tater tots and they absolutely did not disappoint. They offer a little bit of everything including a kids menu, and a tasty assortment of desserts as well. It's a perfect spot if you're looking for a quick meal while shopping downtown OR the most ideal food for a drunken night after car hopping in OTR.

We've been to the Blue Ash Senate a couple times and love it; this location does feel entirely different and I wouldn't compare the two at all. While we were looking at the menu, the guy behind the counter told us that their burgers were $5, Wed-Fri before 7PM. We decided to grab two burgers and two hot dogs, the Trailer Park and the FC Dawg. We sat at the bar, just getting a couple waters, and our food came out about fifteen or twenty minutes later. We started with our burgers, not expecting much from them. But they were actually really tasty. Even for a thin patty, they were well-cooked and a bit juicy. Thin onion slices and thick tomato--exactly my preference. And the burger sauce was tangy and a bit spicy. A really great burger for just $5. Then we split the hot dogs in half. the Trailer Park was topped with Coleslaw and Grippo's. The slaw was decent and the chips weren't out of place, but as a whole the dog was a bit underseasoned. The FC Dawg is their version of a Kony, with chili, cheese, and fritos. The toppings weren't bad, but similar to the first dog, it was a bit bland. We'd both skipped lunch and for $5, we couldn't resist grabbing a couple more burgers. The dogs were 3 stars, but the burgers for the price were 5 stars, and we'll definitely be back for them.
