    5 way with habanero cheese. They did not provide the proper amount of cheese for a large size.
    Heather L.

    Was kind of disappointed in this location. It is so true that while this is a chain and or franchise, not all locations are created equal. Infact I have had a different experience ordering the same exact thing at every single location. I utilized the drive thru and ordered a large 5 way with habanero cheese as well as a large sweet tea. I like that they offer a large size of tea, as many locations only have 1 small size. Sadly my spaghetti was quite mushy. The chili and onions were fine. The biggest problem was they only gave me one tiny bag of cheese for a large size way. At other locations there would've been 3 bags. Bleh, this did not fulfill my usual skyline craving.

    It's a home town favorite for sure! You either love it or hate it and I Love Skyline chili. I live in San Diego and have for the past 20+ years, but coming back home to Cincinnati, Skyline is always one of my first stops!! This experience was shared with my sister and my niece and nephew and it was my niece and nephews fort indoor dining experience at a local skyline. They live in Cincinnati, but being Covid kids, they had never dined inside an actual skyline. Glad they lived their skyline and experienced it dining in with there uncle Adam!

    This location is a definite step up from the prior one that was across the street. If you are going for Skyline come here. Open and airy, plenty of room, quite a step up fro the small strip mall location of yore. Service is friendly and prompt, easy to stop in for lunch and relax. As to the chili...classic Cincinnati. Skyline Chili is local fast food and the way they make it is a bucket list item. Spaghetti noodle topped with chili and a mountain of cheese. Add beans/onions to increase the "way".

    I really wanted a Skyline I could sit down and eat in. This location was great. Lots of tables and booths, screens to watch a game. There was a large church group at one of the long tables, so big enough for a group. The food tasted like Skyline with plenty of cheese. They accidentally gave my husband a 5-way instead of a 3-way - he hates onions. But my kids were being pretty distracting and fired up for Skyline!

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!). Considering there's no real inside seating area, but tons of parks nearby. It's great for a grab and go and late night eating.

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.
