Skyline is the only choice for Cincinnati chili in town. I prefer Gold Star of the chains, but you really ought to get yourself down to one of the independent, original places in Cinci. So, Skyline is not a place I usually stop. But I saw they had chicken chili, and I always have to try new things. And it turned out I got to try two new things. I got a chicken three-way, and a regular coney with new(?) habanero cheese. The chicken, well, you can taste the difference, and it's not horrible, but it's just okay. The habanero cheese on the coney added a bit of a bite, but not near the heat I had hoped for. I added hot sauce to the chili, which they thoughtfully brought to the table along with the silverware and oyster crackers. If you like Cincinnati chili, you might like Skyline. I find it a little bland and corporate. Three stars for the food. However, four stars at least for the service. I did not realize they did table service. Maybe not all locations do? I know I've been to some in the past that did not have table service. But here the server was friendly and easy to talk to, and helpful and patient with somebody who was ordering some new-to-them things. Price was reasonable, 20 bucks, and I couldn't quite finish everything. (I got a regular size three-way; they also have small and large.) This visit reinforced that Skyline is not my favorite Cincinnati chili and also that my favorite thing at Skyline is their conies. I like them. A lot. Usually I just get a couple of those and no chili. But I'm glad I tried some new things, and I was very impressed with the service. read more

Came upon a recommendation of a local we met in Pacific Northwest. She said this restaurant is an Ohio thing serving up this particular comfort food - chili on spaghetti topped with a mound of shredded cheese. The kitchen of this diner is open and you can see how they prepare the food. We had the 4-way which is pasta, chili, onions and cheese. Also ordered the Cheese Coney (hotdog). The pasta was overcooked and the hotdog tasted like canned sausages. There is something about this dish that Ohioans love and I don't appreciate. Sorry. read more

Great as always! Nothing gets better than the original recipe of Skyline Coney Dogs. Quick service and same heaps of cheese every time. Truly a Columbus treasure, for I was even dreaming of it when across the country. Did you really visit Ohio if you didn't have a Skyline visit??? read more

This is always my FIRST stop when I fly into CMH and drive to Circleville. Well, this trip I was on an evening flight, so skipped the Skyline stop my first day. But, I was there everyday for lunch for the next 6 days I changed my orders a bit each visit. I normally get a 4-way without the beans. Had that a couple times. Then I switched to the hot dogs smothered in chili, cheese and onions. Then I tried they spicy hot dogs. Everything was as expected. Everything was clean when I visited for lunch. I like that you can take-out, go through the drive thru or eat in. As I was staying in a hotel 30 minutes drive, I ate in each day. I cannot say enough about the staff here. They remembered me. They chatted it up each visit. And they were so kind! Highest praise! read more

Skyline Chili - Fast Food Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

A coworker told me that I had to try this place while I was in Ohio. It's an interesting twist on fast food in that they actually seat you at a table and a waiter takes your order. My wife and I both ordered the Chili Dogs and a Greek salad. The salad was great. I also enjoyed the chili dogs. However, my wife did not. I can understand her complaint. She didn't like the franks that they use, and said they tasted cheap. We let our waiter know and she did tell us that they have sausages as an option for the chili dogs, so that's good to know in case we ever come back. I absolutely love the way they pile on the shredded cheese and our server was wonderful. read more

I stopped in on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. I haven't had Skyline since the 80s at the location that was near OSU campus. Anyway, I just moved back to Ohio after living in FL for the past 20 years. The place is very clean and the server was nice and very attentive. I had 3 cheese coneys and an order of fries. The fries were hot and crispy...basically perfect. Unfortunately, they don't have mayo, which I like to dip my fries in. The coneys were really good, the cheese on top started to melt a little. I noticed a hint of cinnamon and cardamom in the sauce which I liked. Overall a great experience. read more

I LOVE Skyline so you will rarely see me rate it anything less than 5 stars. I have come through this drive-thru often with my sister. She has four kids and a husband so our orders are typically pretty big. The staff does an excellent job of making sure we have everything before we leave. On our most recent trip, the cashier named everything within each bag as he handed the individual bags to us. Sure enough, we had it all. Great customer service and friendly staff! My go-to is the three way with a chilito. You can't beat the Skyline chili taste and of course the cheese is fantastic. If you have not had Skyline, you need to get here ASAP to try it out. Such a Midwest classic---you will not be disappointed. I also love that they have Cheesecake Factory desserts here. My favorite is when they have the Oreo Cheesecake- it is heavenly! read more

I love Skyline and this location always seems to be very efficient with a hard working team. The last time I stopped they appeared to be shorthanded for waitstaff and everyone was pitching in to help keep things moving. Teamwork like that doesn't just happen. Someone is treating the employees right and doing a great job as a manager. read more

When you have a craving for some cheese coneys, this is the place to go. Cincinnati chili at it's finest. If you don't like hot dogs, maybe try it on some spaghetti and order a 5-way instead. You really can't go wrong here. read more

I ordered 2 Cheese Coney hot dogs and a Mello Yello drink. The hot dogs were as small as a weiner. The shredded cheese and chili were cold. However, the server Addison was great. She was very dependable, knowledgeable, and professional when it came to my first time ever eating at this establishment. The exterior of the place is great, like an old 50s joint. The interior reminded me of a little small restaurant on the side of the road. But the exterior looks ok. read more

The service was nice. Everyone was very welcoming and sweet. The food that I had wasn't good though I felt that I could make the dishes myself. It was entirely way too much cheese for the cheese dog and cheese fries. The food wasn't served hot enough to melt the cheese. In result, you are taking in cold shredded cheese if you don't get rid of the excess cheese. Probably should just stick to hot dishes like the spaghetti, or baked potatoes. I never had them but I think the turn out probably would have been better. read more

So I know I know some people love and hate skyline and I see why people don't like it. This is stable to my childhood . I love hot dogs and I love chili and I love cheese so I mean? Can you really go wrong? I go way out of my way to stop here a very few months. I always get a couple chili dogs and a chillito. I've been on a low carb Keto diet for a while so my recent trip I got a chili bowl which was a couple hot dogs and chili and cheese with onion and mustard and it's so good. I did eat a few crackers because I love them with skyline hot sauce. It's always a quick meal and I'm never disappointed. read more

My friends and I were in Columbus and the locals said we must try out Skyline Chili. So we did, despite it being out of our way. I was especially not happy since I had a 10 hour drive ahead of me that day. Welp, it was AWESOME. The food was fantastic. I had a 4 way chili thingie with onions (not a fan of beans) and it was the best non-gourmet chili I've had. One of my friends had the vegetarian beans and rice thing and she claimed it was also amazing. I didn't try it since I didn't like beans, though. We had some funnel cake fries (exactly what they sound like) afterwards and despite feeling horrible for eating them they were utterly delicious. Two of our party were from Texas and they also had high praises of the place. The staff was super duper awesomely friendly too. We ended up chatting with them for a while since we went around 3PM and business was slow. One of my friends ended up buying a gallon jug of their hot sauce. We tweeted about our awesome time, and their corporate marketing account actually tweeted back! read more

It had been quite awhile since I visited a Skyline chili. So,I decided to stop in on my way through Ohio, for lunch. I found this location clean, with friendly attentive service and coneys as I remember...delicious. Also I tried the new and improved Greek salad as reco'd by the waitress. It was fresh and full of good flavors. The two of us ate for $15 plus tip. Give SLC a try next time your traveling through the buckeye state. read more

I usually don't write reviews for chain restaurants, but this visit was so special that I had to comment. Was taking my long-hair hippie buddy from San Francisco out for a quintessential Ohio taste treat at Skyline. He'd never even heard of this culinary masterpiece so off we went to the location closest to my house. We were seated and served by a delightful lady to whom I explained my pal was a Skyline Chili newbie. She was so nice - she explained how the chili was prepared and how it differed from the common mans' understanding of a bowl of red. She went over each menu item and she then made suggestions for selections from said menu and skipped away to put in the order. We were slightly aghast at the fact that someone who worked at a chain food joint would be so enthusiastic. The food came and was delish, as usual. Larry won't go into details on the food as there are plenty of other reviews that do a fine job. About halfway through our meal, the manager, a young man named Najee came over and inquired as to the meal and service. He also mentioned a special welcome to my pal as a newbie and waxed luxuriously as to how awesome the food and the company was. We were both awestruck, as this kind of thing just never happens any more. Wow. Not only that, Najee came over with a "Welcome to Skyline" to go bag with menus and other goodies and thanked us both personally for our business. So, if you happen to be passing by, stop in for a meal and say hi to Najee and his inspired team. Larry doubts they will be around as their attitude and work ethic are likely to get them all promoted to Corporate right soon. Yay for going the extra service mile you all. read more

I may be the grinch of Skyline chili and you won't like my review. I dislike their chili. In fact can you call it chili when it's sweetened with cinnamon and sugar or whatever sweetener they add to it? I don't think so. I want real chili, Texas chili, steak chili, kinda hot chili, chili with beans, not sugar. The stuff to me is more like sweet paste or goop. It doesn't look like chili or taste like chili. I've tried something that was supposed to be regular chili. Still more like paste with out sugar. Pros: Skyline chili is clean and food is hot. People do like it. I just don't think it should be called chili. If you know what real chili is you may not like it. So if your a traditional chili man or woman, your most like me and will dislike it. read more

Ok, Here's the deal. If your gut is larger than your ass and you no longer can wear pants that dont stretch. Come on down. Not only do they take your order but they bring it to you. Thats right fat fucks. A Fast food joint where your only job is consume. I wouldn't be surprised if at some point in the near future they created a trolley system that scuttles out to the parking lot, slides you into a big bucket, rolls you inside. from there the chili, cheese, onions, what-ever-the-fuck you want is poured directly onto you and into your shame bucket. Eat up, theres a bucks game on TV. BTW if your a gluttonous fat fuck on the go you can get in here, scarf your food down and be out before your relaxed colon even has a chance to say blegh. fuck you america. 200 years of freedom and this is the best we have to offer. read more

My neighborhood Skyline is the best! I've lived around the corner from the South High location since 2006.

The folks here are always super friendly and the food is fresh and delicious. Whenever I'm hungry, it's my go-to place. read more

Cincinnati style chili is the best! I've always eaten at Gold Star as my regular when we are up this way but we were close to this and Kamera had recommended it. The dogs and chili spaghetti were awesome and fast. I loved they had a smaller spaghetti which was a perfect size for me. They also have chili potatoes that I wanted to try but maybe another day. Yum yum, I wish we had these in NC. read more

I hate that I love Skyline chili. But I do. Especially the 4 way with onions. And the coneys are great.

This Skyline Chili is next door to my current workplace... Bob Evans Farms. As I cannot get Skyline Chili in Alabama, I take every opportunity when I'm in Cincinnati, Dayton, Indianapolis, Clearwater or Columbus to get a Five-Way and a Cheese Coney. They now have the Extreme Habanero Cheese full-time which is a bit tastier than the standard Cheddar (but Cheddar is great too). I have not tried the Burrito or other menu items because I cannot get away from the Five-Way. read more

Ok, so my friend who lives in Chillecothe told me we are going to eat here before I fly back home. He warned me that its not the kind of chili you are used to have , they put cinnamon in it. He ordered a small 5 way ,and 3 chili cheese dogs. I wasn't too hungry and didn't want to get stuffed before 2 flights, so I just ate one of the chili cheese dogs. I was nervous about the first bite, but took it anyways. There is a ton of soft pillowy shredded cheese on each dog, along with a nice portion of chili. The hot dogs are kind of small too. The bun was nice and soft like it was baked that morning. The chili had an odd taste of cinnamon, but that didn't bother me at all. all in all a great food experience. I will definately be back for another round, but will eat more next time. read more

I went through the drive-through in 01/06/2017. I ordered a regular 5 way. When I got home I realized that there were no cheese and no onions. I immediately called and since I was not willing to make another 30 minute round trip for cheese and onions they offered to send me what they call "oops" card in the amount of $10. We'll that never happened. Bad and careless customer service and I will not return. read more

This was another of our "let's do as the locals do" trials. Now, Cincinnati chili is something that is new to me. However, the whole three-way, spaghetti chili concept is not, as I grew up in the St. Louis area and we had that at Steak n Shake as well as every local diner when I was a kid. I have to agree about the "acquired taste" comment. A little too much cinnamon for my tastes, but as a fan of Texas chili, I can certainly appreciate the lack of beans. The service was extremely friendly, and very fast. I can't tell you enough how nice the entire staff was. I had chili three way, and my wife had it five way (I think) with onions. We were both pleased with the quality as well as the quantity...the portions are BIG, and I should have just gotten the smallest size, but went with the medium. Again, I wasn't totally sold on the taste, but I think they're doing things the right way, and for a chain, that's saying a lot. read more

I love Skyline's food, but the food is not the issue with this location. The service has just gotten so bad at this location that we stopped going to it. Maybe if they could get some servers that were not rude...maybe we would try it again read more

I love Skyline chili, but this location has found a way to screw it up! I frequent this location every once in a while & it's always been awesome. Tonight- not at all!

Have heard so much about Skyline Chili so, since I was driving through Columbus, I thought I'd try it. The place was clean and the staff friendly and helpful. Prices were decent. I asked what they were noted for and the server said their Cheese Coney and their Three Way Chili. I order a Coney and a small 3-Way. Big disappointment. It was nothing special. The spaghetti was overcooked and the "secret recipe" chili tasted like any canned chili. The Coney was also nothing special. I have no idea what all the fuss is about this place. If their chili is their signature dish, then any of the other chili based items on the menu would suffer from the same failing, namely substandard chili. Perhaps it has something to do with the history of the place, being started by a Greek immigrant. Maybe this was Greek style chili but it certainly wasn't Texas, Tex-Mex, or anything else other than Hormel canned chili or the like. At least now, when the "In Crowd" wax poetic about Skyline Chili, I can make informed comments. Sadly, they will be negative. read more
