    Burrito tiny
    Bob C.

    Friendly and fast service, but the sizes of the burritos are tiny... a bit larger than the crackers

    Smelled

    My flight was out of Concourse A, and Skyline was out of Concourse B. Well, after all the recent Chinese fried rice, I needed the exercise, so I decided to walk instead of taking their People Mover, TransitTram. Next, I ordered the chili with onions. At first, I asked for beans, but I passed on that idea after considering I was on a four-hour flight. Beans + turbulence isn't a winning combination. I applied lessons learned from flying to Korea after eating eight White Castle sliders. Yeah, never again. So, I didn't get his whole story, but the gentleman working at Skyline Chili could sign. It was the essential American Sign Language (ASL), but it was awesome. Keith Williams was his name, and he didn't assume I could hear since I could talk with a slight accent. Most hearing people connect speech with hearing. Indeed, it was a nice start to my trip. I had zero complaints about the meal and service. Thank you, Skyline CVG!

    First time coming to one of these, and it was eh. I had the option to try any of the food court options in CVG airport, but wanted to try something new. I never heard of Skyline Chili and got their Original Deluxe Burrito. The food was hot and fresh, but eating it was a pain with just a fork. Also, it just didn't feel filling enough. I don't really eat hot dogs, but maybe I should have tried the Coney's they had here. If I have the chance, I might try this place one more time at some point.

    Had to stop and try the legendary skyline chili before I left Cincinnati! It was pretty good really. I'd eat there again. Love the chili cheese coney with onions and the chili cheese fries! The gentleman behind the counter was an absolute delight!

    Breakfast Way! Hash brown medallions with Cincinnati chili and cheese

    The best place at CVG for breakfast. Lines are short and fast. If you are hungover you can order lunch type food. But also if you are hungover you can order delicious breakfast. It's very Cincinnati. I'm so glad it's back at CVG after so long. The other day I had the Breakfast Way. For Cincinnatians - a three way with hash brown medallions vs spaghetti. For others - hash brown medallions with chili and cheese. Completely nutrient deficient and completely delicious. I got my food about ten minutes faster than my friend at Chick Fila. And it was cheaper and bigger.

    It's open!

    Mmm'kay so we now have objective evidence to support what we've always known in our hearts all these years: 1. Skyline is better than Gold Star and, furthermore, 2. while it was always tempting to stop at the CVG Gold Star to get a "hit" of Cincinnati chili, our better judgment kicked in, and we were left with a feeling of emptiness and we walked right by. So here's the meat of the news: Gold Star has closed at CVG and Skyline is NOW OPEN in its place. (**cue Halleujah choruses**) So here's the guide for everyone who's going to contemplate this scenario: If your flight is inTerminal A, you can definitely still make it Skyline before the flight as long as you have at least 20-45 minutes before boarding. If your flight is from Terminal A (Frontier, United, Southwest, Allegiant, Alaska, Sun Country Air Canada) - from security take the Tram to Terminal B (2-5 mins depending on how long until tram arrives) - go to skyline (5-15 mins depending on the line and what you order) - backtrack to Terminal A (~5-10 mins; take tram if it's there by chance, otherwise walk) Keep in mind, there are other "decent" food options in Terminal A -- (Graeter's, Moerlin Malt House (Beer + Pub), Braxton (Beer + Pub), Frisch's (Diner), Over-the-Rhine Market (General Store) -- BUT, ill say what we all know: none of these hit like Skyline. You know you're gonna take the risk to miss your flight to go to Skyline so just go already. (Also: just stating the obvious, but shouldn't they also sell canned Skyline for those with time limitations?)

    love the amount of cheese!

    When I get back to the Cincy area, I always try to get to my favorite: Skyline Chili. Transiting at the airport, I was pleased to see a Skyline franchise! Friendly fast service....but at a price. My spaghetti was soggy and the chili tasted like it had been sitting a while. Positive that the bag of shredded cheese was it's usual huge self, but if it were me again, I'd wait until I could eat at a branch in town. Food court ambience--zero.

    Cheese Coney and a Chilito w/ Spaghetti
    Annie W.

    The service was quick and the staff were nice. This is not your typical chili. I enjoyed the level of fresh grated cheese on top the the Cheese Coney. We were told we had to try it during our trip from Texas so it was interesting to taste something new!

    Can't go to Cincinnati without getting some Skyline! My favorite is a 3 way with a chili, cheese coney and a Pepsi.

    Chicken wings are amazing…read more Service is fabulous and the pretzel and popcorn mix was delicious! Found this hidden gem from a referral. A gym goer said chicken wing day!

It is the quintessential neighborhood "watering hole"--a place where the greeting is as warm as the grease on the flat-top. Stepping into PeeWee's feels like entering a living room that just happens to have a full bar and a sand volleyball court out back. My wife and I stopped in here on our way back home. It was lunch time, and the place was crowded. We started off with a Taco Salad with some wings on the side. The Taco Salad brings together your choice of beef or chicken, fresh veggies, jalapeños, and crispy tortilla chips! Our entrée was the PeeWee cheeseburger with Saratoga chips! The cheeseburger is nothing short of a masterclass in the classic American style. It's juicy, well-seasoned, and mercifully devoid of artisanal pretense. The kitchen leans heavily into "Killer Comfort Food," and for the most part, it executes with soul. PeeWee's doesn't try to reinvent the wheel; it simply keeps it spinning with genuine hospitality and reliable, rib-sticking classics. Whether you're there for a beer bucket by the volleyball court or a plate of biscuits and gravy, the value and the "hometown" soul make it a mandatory stop.

Miranda made MAGIC happen , that BLT...was L.I.T.! The prices at Red's are not bad for a good sandwich, actually not bad fir a great 5.00 buck lunch ($4.99) will get you whats in the pictures. Now why 3 stars not 5? While the manager I gathered, was taking in a shipment; the young lady at the register was quick to ask can I help, but. the tone was more can you hurry up. Well I asked if they serve food, because at first walking in I didn't really see a setup for it but she just pointed right back to the area where Miranda was standing and just looked as if. Since I didn't actually see the food counter coming in, I was thinking it might have been someone's lunch that smelled really good, but just based upon the fact that good prices, a good BLT; I ordered a BLT two bags of Smartfood popcorn and a ginger ale. Attitude is EVERYTHING to me, SERVICE..is everything to EVERYONE. If you are having a crappy day, step back and know you still have a job to do ( in the service field), you may not like the clientele that come to your establishment at the time I was there... But in the words of Clarence Avant "At the end of the day, its all about the money". Make your money. Be nice to EVERYONE & I'll be back, its a good spot with great prices and food..and Miranda makes a DOPE BLT

I went with a couple of their big ole hot dogs which reminded me of the one's I'd get down at the ballpark. The hot dog itself was really tasty and exactly what I wanted. I got some onion rings which I would classify as average. For dessert I got a chocolate malt which reminded me of a Frosty from Wendy's but even better than that. Really tasted. The service was everything we needed on this occasion. The restaurant was also clean and was a fine environment. This was a delicious and not at all costly lunch and I will definitely be back.

    Stopped in yesterday afternoon with my girlfriend after doing the last of my Christmas shopping…read more She had ate here previously and recommended it. I'm so glad she did. When we walked in, the space was bright, clean, and refreshing. They have a decent amount of seating indoors or you can get your food to go. Service was great! Super friendly and a pleasant interaction. This place functions similar to Chipotle, you pick your choices and build either a bowl, burrito, quesadilla, taco, or nachos. Let's just get this clear -- this place could easily beat a Chipotle bowl. I eat Chipotle often due to its close proximity to my house, but that might change now. Their meats are kept warm in a Dutch oven style pot and they offer a number of toppings for your entree along with several signature sauces (chipotle sauce is so good). I got a barbacoa beef bowl with white rice, black beans, sour cream, cheese, corn, and chipotle sauce. (As pictured) this bowl HIT it was so delicious I quickly devoured the whole thing. The corn had red cabbage instead of onions (they have a separate onion/cilantro topping) and that was life changing. The combination of the flavors was immaculate. The star of the show was the meat. It literally melts in your mouth: so soft and full of flavor. You can also add a side of chips and salsa/queso for a nice price with your meal. They also offer cookies and other sweets as an additional add on. Their fountain drinks were great - not watered down like some places. I recommend this place HIGHLY. I was honestly not expecting the experience I had but I was going into it blindly not knowing what to expect. We will definitely have this in our regular rotation.
