    Chili over Speghetti noodles
    S Lola L.

    Went to Skyline because it's a Cincinnati Chili I've heard is really good. Ordered the regular size with the onions and beans with the Wisconsin cheeses top, all over a plate of spaghetti noodles . The temperature of the chili and noodles were barely warm and overalll nothing that screams a must eat. Staff was pleasant .

    Came to this location for the first time amazing service they make you feel welcome I had no idea they had vegan children. Looks like they have grown people working here that I care about their customers. Mary , DJ and Alonzo auto care of me definitely a great location I will be back

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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. :)

    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.

    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.

I ordered cheese fries deconstructed because my daughter was unsure if she'd like the chili and cheese sauce and wanted to try them separate before adding to her fries. We found a blonde hair on a fry that had been dipped in the cheese sauce but couldn't identify if it was from the fry or cheese. I brought it to the attention of Cat who took the contaminated fry from my hand and in a very snarky tone said "I guess I can throw it away" I said "I didn't bring it to your attention for you to throw it away both the fry and sauce needs replaced please" she proceeded to walk off and huff. Fries were brought back with the cheese covering them ... which is not how she took away both the fries and the cheese. I ordered the pastrami bacon burger double which was missing the onion. The pastrami bacon was the highlight to my sandwich for sure! My daughter ordered the single classic burger which she says was fine. I haven't tried the banana jam banana pudding yet but I also ordered that as well. The kitchen staff were loud, someone in the kitchen questioned me with an attitude insinuating I was attempting to get a refund when in all actuality I was asking for my receipt. I would never recommend this establishment based on the behavior and attitude of its employees!

I'm not sure what's happened over the last year though. The customer service has been poor, and I reached a 'can't return' moment recently. There was a large sign outside that said "Happy hour deal, 10 dollars for a burger and a beer". The bill came to 15 dollars. I talked to a bartender and to explain the mistake and they said that's actually official policy, to not give the happy hour price unless you ask for it while ordering. I've never heard of that before. I said that's an unethical policy and they could not have cared less. No apologies, nothing. Now, if it's truly the businesses policy, the employees are just doing their job. They don't have to care, but it would have been nice if they pretended to sympathize. Ultimately, it's either a bizarre, rude policy, or the employees are skimming the difference. Neither option is ok with me.

This was my first time ever having Raising Cane's. The fries were a good portion, but definitely too soggy. The Texas toast is fairly good, I could taste the butter on it; personally, when I'm already eating fried chicken and french fries, I probably don't need another brown carb with it, but I know it's just their "thing." The chicken fingers were decent size and I'm sure they would've been crispier if it wasn't for the styrofoam container. The breading was nice because it was a little heavier than Popeye's in my opinion, but not by much. I liked the Cane Sauce personally, although it was a tad salty. I'm glad I can say I tried it, but I'm not craving it strongly. Drive-thru service was fast, which was a plus.

I love their wall decor which features rock legend photos, thoughtful aphorisms and vintage memorabilia. Let's be clear I'm not above drinking beer and engaging with women either. On this occasion I ordered the marinated chicken with mushrooms and Swiss ($8.99) not fancy but satisfying and tasty. It must have been the fat, butter and beef because I'm pretty certain it wasn't the lettuce and tomato. I had a side order of curly fries ($3.49). They offered a traditional or boneless wing special 10 wings for $9.99. I passed it up along with their pizza, subs, soups and salads. What I did not pass up was their beer.

This location was closed for a long while due to a fire, and we were overjoyed when they finally re-opened. Okay, for folks who've never been, Roosters is a chain local to Ohio and only found in Central Ohio: Columbus and the Columbus-metro area. They're a bar serving bar food, with a focus on chicken wings, and they do it well; we have NEVER been to a bad Roosters yet. The wings are battered, deep-fried, tossed with their any of their own sauces, and served up hot, fresh, and tasty. They also do burgers, subs, pizzas, a variety of deep-fried appetizers and sides, and some soups/salads to balance things out. Let's be blunt: it's bar food. It's not epic best-I've-ever-had gourmet stuff -- but what Roosters does, it does well, it does fast, and it does friendly. It's solid, tasty, and hits the spot. You go here when you want to hang out, talk with friends, catch some sports, and relax with good grub and drinks, not because you want a gourmet dining experience. Husband and I LOVE their Carolina Gold sauce on the wings (other sauces are really good; the CG is just our personal fave); we're fans of their Red/Bacon/Blue salad (salad stuff, bacon, bleu cheese crumbles & their red house dressing), onion feathers, and I could eat their hot pretzels & cheese every day. Yes, there are other places that do great gourmet pretzel dipping sauces, but dammit, usually I just want big, soft, buttery hot pretzels with good nacho cheese sauce, and Roosters does it right. Like I said, solid, tasty, American-Midwest bar food. And by the way? Their staff is awesome!

However, while in Columbus, Ohio last month, the convenience and mystique it held over my son was too much to pass up. After a quick walk in quite brisk conditions, we were eager to step inside,get a strong sniff of those fries bathing in oil (ctacklin and shacklin). Alas, it would not be for this Sonic does not have an inside and possibly none of them do, hence the focus on old school drive up eating?!?

I find it hard to screw up a milkshake but I cannot tell you why this was so, but both my son and I thought it was sub par. It bordered being flavorless, which makes one ponder.... As for the bigger and fries? My son claims the burger to be "decent" while we both thought the fries to be "very mid" in his lingo. Very average in mine. If ever you should find yourself in Columbus Ohio near Ohio St University, and you happen upon a Sonic, our advice to you is to keep driving! Hit for the love of God, DO NOT stop at the Taco Bell.
