    Picture on the can with the can just above the mess that comes out when opened

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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. When you come in you get seated by a waiter and they take your order. The food comes out pretty quickly, I don't think I will be coming back.

    3-way with half cheddar and half habanero cheese, 2 coneys same way, sweet tea.

    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. :)

    First time trying excited!!

    Great service cool little place with the diner feel, it is definitely a love or hate for the chili. I liked it the rest of the group not so much. But Roy have got to try things when you get the chance!

    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.

    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.

    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!!

    Where's the Chili? Should have driven back and returned it.

    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.

The sign caught my wife's eye and since we were hungry, it was kind of perfect. Our kids had never been here before and it was a good opportunity to expose them to a great late-night diner with plenty of vegetarian options (our favorite thing about this place) downtown. We each ordered a veggie dog in a different style and we grabbed some sides as well - totchos, fries, and pretzel bites! The kids loved their sides. We are still opening their eyes to different types of foods, so it was a stretch for them to order a veggie dog at a restaurant that had unique toppings! Next time, we'll have them get charred and not steamed. I thought steamed would be the way to go, but I forgot my oldest has become accustomed to veggie dogs on the grill during marching band season. I tried the veggie brat out of curiosity. I could honestly take it or leave it over a charred veggie dog. I like both about equally. Overall, great experience. Our server was great, friendly, and accommmodating, and our food tasted great! I hope we can talk the kids into coming again to try a different combination. It's such a fun place that fits our family vibe.

LOL. You pull up to an older house that's been converted into the restaurant, and it could use some maintenance :) but these are the kinds of places I love to find. Small dining area, maybe 6 tables seating 2-4 people each. It was warm today (Saturday around 1pm) and it was pretty busy both for dine-in/to-go and drive through. Unlike alot of other reviews everyone was incredibly friendly and service was reasonably quick. My onion rings and my son's tenders were HOT so they were fresh. Onion rings were pretty well done, but I like them that way. Others may disagree. I had a coney w/ mustard, chili, onion and it looked pretty unassuming. However, it was a little flavor bomb. I found the chili to be flavorful, and they use the tiny diced onions that were perfect for a coney. I went back for a second one with cheese. They were a little stingy with the coney toppings, but at least is was easy to eat. Maybe a little more cheese would be nice. Like someone said, the chili needs to be hotter, it was luke warm. PB and banana shake was awesome, with real chunks of banana in it. It was a hit with my picky 10yr olds and the price was definitly right for a tasty filling lunch. I'm a native Hoosier, so I'll have to put their tenderloin to the test next time and report back.
