Chili Cheese Fries Greek Salad
Bert L.

Fairgrub stick with the original dogs and spag. The salad was not their thing. It is a must for the region. Service was spot and accommodating.

Entrance

It was my first time in the restaurant, but I have had this style of chili before as it's kind of a regional thing. I opted for the Chili 5-way, which is chili with spaghetti, beans, onions, and cheese. I got a regular, and it was still a pretty good meal. It's served up with little oyster crackers. I immediately noticed a difference in the flavor and found out there's a bit of cinnamon in it. It went well with it. The "chili" wasn't spicy and was a bit on the sweet side. Overall, I did enjoy it. Our server was friendly and very attentive and not overly hovering. Drink refills were made regularly, and we were even offered to go cups. I did want to try their rival Gold Star. The way it was explained to me was it's similar to White Castle vs Krystal's. True locals prefer Skyline while non-locals seem to prefer Gold Star. Since I didn't get to try Gold Star I'll have to make another trip and try them side by side.

First time eating skyline as we don't have them in Texas. Didn't know what to expect but I enjoyed it. Will definitely be back next time i'm in Cincinnati.

The main dishes. Must haves if you're visiting from out of town.

This place is amazing. Was visiting the area for work and had never heard of this place before. But I found out. Service was amazing, the lady that served us was super nice, welcoming, she found out it was my first time and gave me the full experience. Explained everything for me, gave me a starter kit and even told me the proper way to eat. The food was fresh, extremely tasty and VERY filling. I don't need to do the dogs next time, but since it was my first time I wanted the full experience so I ordered everything she told me to. Ambiance was quiet, clean restaurant, it was perfect. Bathroom was clean. Next time I'm in town, I'll definitely be stopping again.

Doesn't even fill up the bottom much less the depth!!!!!!

Literally asked for extra crackers and hot sauce please. Drove away hot neither!!!!! Can't eat skyline without crackers. I called and the girl said thanks for letting me know. I hung up before exploding. Dinner ruined. Gets better.... Got home looked at my large 5 way and looks like a regular or even kids potions size. So now totally annoyed and will never be going back!!!!! Doesn't even fill the bottom much less the depth of large five way!!!!!!!

Cheesecake Factory dessert.  Raspberry cheesecake

If you like cheese, Great hot dog! Fresh and tasty. Service was wonderful. Recommend this place.

Does that look like a legitimate portion?  It sure doesn't to me.  Sad how you pay so much for this place and get so little for your money.
David J.

Does this look like a legitimate portion for the price? It's not even halfway full. It's so light I could probably launch it over the building like a Frisbee if I wanted to.

It's bee too long...
Andrew B.

Always busy working hard for customer satisfaction. One of the greatest restaurants ever. That's it, that's my review. This company has created an awesome culture and sincerely hope they're able to keep it this way. Thank you Skyline!

We have a 1st timer(Alyssa from Ca/Az) today!! Woot!!
Dean S.

Our youngest moved out to Phoenix a few years back and this Skyline is pretty close to CVG so it's the one he talks about getting to fresh off the plane. People are nice, food is good & the place is clean so that's all that really matters. I did take a pic of the US Flag and I hope the owners take care of that. It's one of my own personal leaves and has nothing to do with Skyline Corporate or the servers and cooks. This is management and owners responsibility.

Menu

Growing up with Cincinnati style one misses it after moving out of the area! So when around Cincinnati we try to stop at Skyline. The small size 3-way is smaller than I remembered, but is enough calories. The selection of diet drinks is better than most places.

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 were greeted upon entering and told to sit anywhere we wanted. Immediately greeted by the server and drink orders taken. We had to ask for a menu to browse. The waitress was so sweet! She said that it's not common for non-regulars to come in. You could tell that the place had mostly regulars because they knew each other by name. They have plenty of seating inside and the service is excellent. I ordered the 3-way potato. The cheese was piled so high so I did pull the bulk of it off. Food was out so quick and it was good. Just not used to this type of chili.

I still feel iffy about chili on spaghetti so I ordered mine on a potato 5-way. It comes with chili, beans, onions, and a mountain of cheese. I swapped my cheese for the habanero cheese. I also tried their house hot sauce and it was pretty tasty! My kids liked the spaghetti as well. The kids' meal also comes with a drink and a dessert, so they opted for a popsicle. The chili is DELICIOUS. I am almost upset I'm trying it so late in my life but I'm grateful I finally did.
