Skyline Chili is made with Cinamon and it's not for everyone. We love it! Hubs orders a coney dog topped with Skyline Chili, mustard and onion. Plus a small "5 way"; a plate of spaghetti topped with Skylibe Chili, onions, beans and piled high with shredded cheddar cheese. I love the Chili dog and the 5 way but Im trying to eat a little more carb friendly. So I order the Coney Biwl. 3 hot dogs under Skyline Chili topped with diced ohion and a mountain of shredded cheddar cheese. I add onions and hot sauce. So good and a smidge healthier than the bun and pasta in my husband's food. Sobyummy but man does my breath stick for a solid two days after eating there. This is a diner. Come in, grab a seat at the counter if you want to watch the team fill orders. Or you can grab a booth or table in the restaurant. They also have a drive thru window. While clean, I would describe Skyline Chili as a dive. We really llike it! read more

If you grew up in Ohio and have moved away, you know exactly what I mean when I say Skyline Chili isn't just a meal--it's home. Every time we're back in town, one of our very first stops is Skyline, especially when we're visiting Kings Island. I spend the entire year craving it because there's simply nothing else like it. My order has never changed: a 4-Way with onions and a Cheese Coney with onions. One bite instantly takes me back to childhood family dinners and all the memories that come with them. People who aren't from Cincinnati might not understand Skyline's Greek-style chili, but that's part of what makes it so special. The warm Mediterranean spices, the perfectly cooked spaghetti, and that mountain of finely shredded cheddar cheese create a flavor that's impossible to duplicate. It's pure Cincinnati comfort food. This visit was just as great as I remembered. The customer service was warm and friendly, the restaurant was clean, and the food came out fresh and delicious. It's comforting to know that even after moving away, I can come back and find the same flavors and hospitality that made me fall in love with Skyline in the first place. Thank you for keeping a little piece of home exactly the way I remember it. We'll be back every time we're in town! read more

I find it weird that out of everything the most memorable food item of my entire trip to Ohio was a Greek salad from a chili place. Nothing wrong with that, just wouldn't have ever expected it. So yeah, looking for a delicious Greek salad with (lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, Kalamata olives, sliced pepperoncinis and feta cheese, Skyline's Greek dressing) go here. Great chili cheese dogs, too. I recommend trying one of their Famous Ways only because I didn't get too and now I'm too far away and I absolutely regret it. Don't be me. read more

We were on a road trip through Ohio and had to try Skyline chili. The service and ambiance were a bit lacking, the menu was a bit confusing as "foreigners", but it was more of a road side diner vibe than a restaurant. We watched some football and chatted with patrons passing by through our meal. Food wasn't anything I needed to return for, but it was a fun experience and so glad we went! We had 2 Cheese Coney (hot dogs with chili and cheese) with the spicy cheese, Red Cream Soda, 5-Way (spaghetti with beans, onions and cheese). We added the hot sauce to almost every bite! read more

For all the Skyline chili lovers or chili lovers who have never had Skyline, I just went to this location last week and had a great experience. The restaurant is located in a nice newer plaza and it was very clean and taken care of. Our waiter was fantastic and we got our food really quickly. Skyline is known for being a fast-casual spot so you typically never have to wait for longer than 15 minutes! The food itself was right on par with expectations for a tasty chili and cheese loaded meal. We got chili cheese coney's and 3-ways and they were delicious! If you've never had their signature spaghetti with chili dishes, I highly recommend as you won't be disappointed! read more

I bought a can of skyline chili and a can of skyline chili spaghetti. The chili spaghetti picture is very, very misleading. Because when you open the can what comes out is something that is very unappetizing in looks. Although the cinnamon and clove taste is overpowering it may be representative of a Cincinnati recipe, but it is not for my taste buds: I think there is a grave injustice with the very appealing picture on the can versus the chopped up diced up mess that is actually inside the can. I am not sure how skyline chili gets away with this misrepresentation. read more

I finally tried Skyline Chili after years of hearing about it. It is for sure a weird group of food items. That is what makes America great I suppose. I ate it on the side of the road sitting on a rock. This is probably the way it should be consumed before slinking back to a dark motel room. read more

Skyline Chili - Fast Food Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

They clean during eating. From wearing cleaning gloves and sweeping to running the vacuum. They have put chairs on top of tables in sections while eating. If you want a place being cleaned with dust and mites flying everywhere pull your chair up. Most locations have this problem. I've given up, done, Ill let them clean around others so sad because I've been going there for over 4 decades. read more

This place is a must visit! I decided to try as I was passing thru on my way home to the Philadelphia suburbs! The minute I walked thru the doors I was greeted my a very friendly staff member! The place is clean and the staff was helpful and very friendly! I tried the three way chili and it was amazing! I decided to order two more orders to take home and the staff made sure pack everything so it would be fine for my long journey back to Philly! I will definitely be back if I find myself out that way again read more

I was so excited to come try Skyline chili. Had super high hopes after reading reviews about this staple for most folks in Ohio. I honestly was not impressed. I ordered the 5 way chili (small) and a cheesy coney. I could not taste the chili. It tasted bland. I had to use hot sauce to give it more flavor. The hot dog I can taste but the combination of the chili and cheese didn't add much flavor overall. We liked the sweet tea and the funnel fries with powdered sugar and cinnamon sugar. This location was clean and was located very close to the Ohio State University stadium and we driving through Columbus en route to Chicago. It was nice to see the campus. The service here was also very good. read more

Super lightning fast table service at this location! Also I think I saw actress Mare Winningham while I was here - not totally sure... but if it was that's super cool. Totally plausible since this location is so close to Ohio State University (go Bucks!) and famous people visit campus all the times! She should have won the best supporting actress Oscar for "Georgia" in 1996 but Mira Sorvino took it for "Mighty Aphrodite." Hollywood... Oh well... Anyways, it's typical Cincinnati Chili & dogs as served up by Skyline - can't be beat. Hot, fast and the location was pretty clean for as busy as they were on a Saturday afternoon. Staff were nice and friendly! Now that I know it's here, I'll surely visit again. read more

The taste was not for me when I scooted the noodles over. It was a lot of water in the plate. I had a large chili. I sent it back and order the hotdogs too the chili taste just didn't agree with my stomach. It was not enjoyable to me, but everybody has different taste buds so try it for yourself. You might like it, but I did, but it is what it is. read more

I was very excited to eat here as I've seen in on TV. The prices were really good and cheap for the amount of food you get but the food was not very good. Really bland.

Amazing. I fly here from California just for skyline. I would get skyline every single day if I lived here.

We come to this location whenever we want Skyline because it's the closest location to downtown. Whenever we order here, they are always clean, efficiently well staffed, and friendly. Being originally from Cincinnati, I have a special place in my heart for Skyline. We came on the 4th of July and our server was excited because they were closing early so the staff could enjoy the holiday - which was very nice of the company/owner. I hate that her name has slipped me, but she was very kind and thoughtful. We ordered, enjoyed our stay, our food and sweet tea was delicious (btw, I get half sweet, half unsweet), and we left with smiles on our faces as always. Thank you all for the great work you do! See ya next time. :) read more

Not a good experience at all. Rude staff, they pick and choose who they greet. Also the food was 0/10. The owner doesn't care as long as his monthly numbers are met. I also have my visit documented on tiktok. pov_of_cash read more

Nice Skyline location near the Ohio State campus! It offers both parking and a drive thru, whether you opt to eat in or grab take out. The staff was friendly and efficient, and it offers the usual Skyline menu you might expect: the well known coneys (hot dogs) and signature ways (chili served on spaghetti with various topping options), plus salads, fries, and wraps, and vegetarian options that focus on their black beans and rice instead of the chili. On this visit, we opted for coneys, fries, and Greek salads. Everything was quite tasty, and it all made for a nice, filling meal. read more

Awesome Skyline location! Modern, clean, and spacious. Very prompt service. Huge portions with fresh, tasty food. I love going with another person to share a 4 way with onions then enjoy a coney (or two). This time I chose a buffalo chicken salad - pretty good! Don't forget to add hot sauce. Super reasonably priced. read more

We just can't go through Ohio without a stop at Skyline Chili! You know what the food was like. It's consistent. I did find their tea very nice! But the star of the show tonight was our waitress! She was working hard, but with a sunny disposition and a way of making each table feel welcomed and special. Not only that, but a visit to the restroom was impressive! So clean, nice smelling, with two hooks! I love having a place for purse AND coat. The ambiance was great. I would happily return to this location for my annual fill of Chili 4-way. read more

I am always a fan of Skyline and try to visit whenever I am in Columbus. I really wanted a quick and easy dinner. As this location is eighth across from my hotel, this met all my criteria! I got the usual large 5-way chili. Love love love. Also got a coney without any cheese. Tip: there was so much cheese on the 5-way that I put some of that on the coney. Service was good. Since this location is close to campus, I get most of the staff were Ohio State students. Thank you!! read more

Skyline Chili - First time trying excited!! - Fast Food Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

My colleague was very excited about going to Skyline Chili as he said this is an Ohio staple. I was 100% down to try it and am glad that I did. I ordered the "chilirito" which was basically a burrito with chili, sour cream and cheese inside of it. It was tasty and not too filling (most of the other dishes came with a heaping pile of cheese!). I liked the chili with the bit of cinnamon but I can see how this would not be for everyone. The hot sauce was really the star of the show though! Had a great flavor to it. Service was prompt and friendly. I am not going to rush back but if colleagues wanted to go again, I would not be opposed. read more

I was so excited to finally try skyline chili. I was expecting a counter service restaurant, and was surprised it was a sit down and order with a menu restaurant. I looked at the menu and placed an order to go, simply a loaded chili bowl. I verified they put a spoon in the bowl and I was off to my hotel room as I am from out of town. I returned to my room and open the container of chili and was shocked. The already small container was only half-full! This can't be right. I checked with the restaurant, and they said they fill it halfway to leave room for the cheese and onions and sour cream. How gracious to leave me so much room. Thank you for that! The chili was good, but for $6.29 I would've expected a lot more. The quantity of chili seemed on par with the $1.99 chili at Wendy's. It may be worth it if you're getting a spaghetti in three-way or five way, but if you just want chili, this place is a no go. Unless they are making it with A5 Wagyu beef, which I highly doubt, I would go elsewhere for chili or buy it at the grocery store. Maybe I should have asked the best way to just get chili. I didn't see anything other than the loaded chili bowl on the menu though. read more

Skyline Chili - Where's the Chili? Should have driven back and returned it. - Fast Food Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

What the heck with the high rating for this restaurant?!! I read rave reviews of this place. I was visiting this area and wanted to try their famous chili and hot dogs. The service lady was very friendly. I gave her 1 star. But the food was terrible. We ordered 4 chili dogs, chili 5 ways, chili 4 ways with beans and extra habanero cheese for additional 25 cents. The dogs were no big deal. No issues with them but just plain boring. I couldn't really taste the chili much. The worse part of the chili 4 or 5 ways was the spaghetti. It was not strained well and the bottom of the plate was a puddle of water. The noodle was overcooked and was really mushy. I won't even call it spaghetti. The chili was runny without good flavor. When combined with tasteless noodle, it was the ingredients for a bad dish. It was disappointing to expect good chili and then paired with flavorless noodle without texture. Salt the noodle when you cook the pasta please. They are missing the first tip of cooking noodle from cooking 101. Also we were all overwhelmed with the amount of shredded cheese that didn't seem to melt. read more

Not sure what the fuss is all about, except that portions are good and so much shredded cheese. Service was also very good, as were affordable prices. We had 2 plates of 3-5 way chili, 1 with the optional spicy cheese. So much shredded cheese! Flavors unfortunately were so muted. Spaghetti was not well-drained and overcooked. Chili lacked substance and zing. Coney dogs were about 2/3 rd size if average hot dog. If you want to fill up with pedestrian chili on noodle for under $8/meal, this is the place. Glad I tried it so I can say I had it but nothing really need to revisit. read more

Okay... before I was convinced to try skyline I didn't think I'd like it based on how it looks, but I was surprisingly pleased. The location is next to other business but has a parking lot so parking shouldn't be a problem. We sat down and ate there and tried the crackers with the hot sauce which was good. I really loved the habanero cheese and their hot sauce. Their coney was also great. I definitely wouldn't say no if someone suggested eating there. If you are hesitant to try it, that's understandable, but you should try it because you will probably end up liking it! read more

If you are living in Ohio and haven't tried Skyline Chili, you are not a true resident until you do.

Everyone who does loves it. read more

Skyline Chili - Cheese Coney, 4-Way with Onion - Fast Food Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Rude unfriendly staff comprised of careless busy on the phones and chattering highschool and college kids. I had to get up twice to fill up drinks since server was mia. I even filled a drink to go then one server told me this is not a self-serve station (despite it being wide open in the middle of dining lounge) the nerve on these clueless kids running this place. Well no dip sherlock perhaps if you'd actually fill my drinks for me I would not be doing that myself. Here is a thought to skyline chili Corporate management. get rid of your full service business model because it is obviously not working .. make ut like Chili or Piada because that's clearly how your menu is. Everyone comes here for the same item. It is not rocket scum. I dont need useless server to take my order then disappear. It does not require full service anyway. make it a cafeteria style and we would still leave tips put a tip jar in there but this full service business model for a cafeteria style dining is just borderline offensive and doesn't work. Stop over complicating things and insulting your customers intelligence. read more

I usually stop by one of the chili institutions when I'm in this area of Ohio. This day it happened to be skyline. The inside and outside was super clean. I was greeted as I walked through the door and seated. My coney dogs and chili 4 way was brought very fast. Both items were hot and tasted really good. My only issue was the hot sauce tasted watered down. The staff was friendly and I was waited on by multiple people. Good location for quick service. read more

Honestly I don't get the hype. The chili is okay enough... took a bite out of there cheese coney dog and it literally just tasted like a mouthful of cheese. Service here wasn't the best... there was one waiter with 5 other cooks hanging out in the back just chit chatting away. My favorite part of skyline chili was their hot sauce and oyster crackers. read more

Delicious Ohio staple! Stopped by while visiting and enjoyed the 3-way. Quick, kind customer service!

A Cincinnati classic!! We came after the Bengals playoff win and it was bustling. A super fun and lively atmosphere, made me feel like I was at home in Cincy. Our server was fantastic and got us extra oyster crackers. If you haven't had Skyline chili, give it a try- it's unique and you'll fall in love. Many of my skeptical out-of-town friends have come to love it as a classic. It's always Skyline time! read more

I felt safe at the Skyline Chili. I have been to many Skyline Chili locations in Columbus. This is the best one and happy that is close to The Ohio State University campus area.

We had a great dinner and will be back to this Skyline Chili location near Ohio State very soon. read more
