My husband and I have eaten at this particular Skyline more times than we care to say. The food and service is always consistent, every time that we come in here. I feel sorry for the vegan who left that one bad review and thinks that this chain needs to go out of business!!! Girl, you need to seriously reconsider your choices of restaurants, if you can't figure out that this place mainly serves MEAT BASED DISHES. As for the ones that complained about the gnats and the messed up orders -- have you thought of checking your orders prior to leaving the restaurant with your to go orders and playing attention to how close you're sitting to the front door before? That might solve your problems right there. As a matter of fact, my server tonight was lovely and was even training a new girl, which was terrific. The service was above and beyond tonight. I'm 100% sure that my husband and I will be back at this restaurant to eat some time soon. read more

Skyline Chili - My husband with his large three 3-way Chili Spaghetti. - Fast Food Near Me - Highland Heights, Kentucky

Nice clean restaurant with good quality food and fresh veggies in the food. I am vegetarian and they have a good selection of vegetarian foods. It seems clean in there and they are friendly. I love this restaurant! Yum! read more

Great service. Super fast. Thank you. We typically order drive thru and it's fast. You can get in and food in front of you in less than five minutes. read more

Delicious every time! Definitely a must have if you're new to Cincinnati. My faves are the black beans and rice, a 3 (or 4) way, plus a cheese coney with everything. read more

When people ask me "which is better : Skyline or Gold Star?" i diplomatically say i like skyline for the tradition and i like gold star for the flavor, but honestly, Camp Washington has the best in Cincinnati. skyline has the 5ways & such & variations with chili although if you special order something and use the drive-thru, check what you get because you may not get what you ordered and paid for. read more

Best in town by far. Been going for 18 years and have yet to have a bad experience. I've read some of these reviews and they have one little problem and they immediately want it for free. that ain't how the world works. anytime they've messed up i just ask if they can fix it and they do no problem. Great food just a bunch of stuck up people around here. read more

If you prefer Skyline Chili over other Cincinnati-style chili or just plain like Skyline, then this location is in my opinion the best in Kentucky. Compared to other locations, everything here just seems better. Service here was super fast and friendly. Our server Joede was especially nice and seemed to go out of her way to make sure our experience was excellent. Though this location has been here for quite some time, the store looks brand new and everything was very clean. I ate in during my most recent visit and really was again impressed by the quality and freshness of the food. I had a buffalo chicken (with bacon) Skypie. I had never had this item before as I don't believe it is available at other locations - it was great! The dough was thin and crispy, and I liked this better than Empress' pizza for sure. I'd certainly recommend the bacon - along with everything else, it made the dish. The person I was with had a standard 3-way with extra cheese on the side (because why not), and of course being Skyline, it came with a generous amount of cheese! I'm not sure if this has to do with it being a franchise location or not, but this location also has daily specials. Always a plus! I'm not sure if Skypiez are available at other locations yet or if its franchise-specific. If you are used to going to other Kentucky or Cincinnati locations, I'd certainly recommend this location if you have never been. Now my favorite Skyline! read more

Sorry to disappoint all those Skyline Chili fans, but we weren't satisfied with meals at Skyline in Highland Heights, KY, near NKU. Not everyone likes cinnamon in their chili- our out-of-town friend didn't like taste (I personally like the middle eastern touch). She didn't finish her taco chips. I wasn't pleased with salad with chicken. Chicken cubes that had obviously been frozen were pretty tasteless although our raccoons enjoyed my leftovers. Why do you serve your hot dogs cold, I always wondered about this. Other friend liked the burrito. Quality of food seems to have deteriorated since we last ate here (5 years ago?). Won't return. Service was fine. Ambiance, ok. read more

Skyline is unique to Cincinnati, there will be those that love it and those that hate it. Eat it enough and you'll grow to love it! If you're in town and looking for something Cincinnati, definitely swing by and grab a classic 3 way. read more

I honestly wouldn't recommend the Highland Heights location, UNLESS you're ONLY getting the Skyline Pizza they offer. We always ate at the Newport Skyline, but moved and started going to Highland Heights, because it's closer. I usually get either the Skyline pizza or the Burrito Deluxe. At Newport, they load the burrito with the bean mix and chili. And top it with a mound of cheese. At the Highland Heights location, it's as thin as a napkin. The 1st time it happened, I thought it was just a fluke. It was a carry out, so I just ate it. But it was all tortilla and nothing else and NOT good. The 2nd time was also a carry out. My husband brought it home and it was the same flat, chililess, bean mix-less burrito as last time. I called, because I KNOW what I have always received at Newport, and this was half of that. I was told it was all pre-portioned, and that I'd have a credit for another Burrito Deluxe. So, we took our girls to lunch and ordered a 3rd Burrito Deluxe (the credit), a few cheese coneys, a couple of 3-ways, and a Skyline pizza. The cheese was skimpy on everything. The burrito was, again, very thin. I do have to praise their Sky Pies (Skyline pizza), though. I've had it a couple of times, and it's always really good. I add spaghetti to it for the full 3-way effect. But, as our go to, we'll continue to drive to the Newport Skyline for coneys, 3-ways, and burritos. read more

This place was and has been my only experience with Cincinnati style chili. it's unique and visitors to the area should give it a try. This specific chain would be the perfect place to do so if you're nearby because parking is plentiful and convenient, the inside is very clean, the staff is on top of their game, and you'll get your food in a hurry with refills as soon as you're ready for them. Extra cheese? You got it. More crackers? Comin' right up, boss. read more

A friend from Cincinnati told me that I had to stop at skyline chili. This way my first three way and it was great! The spaghetti is obviously not traditional Italian,but has a great unique taste. I could see eating here after having a few beers. read more

Skyline Chili - Coney with cheese and a 3-way. - Fast Food Near Me - Highland Heights, Kentucky

I eat at this Skyline location quite frequently and I have rarely had a great experience. This time was no exception. I drove through the drive through to pick up lunch on my break and not only was the girl working the drive through less than enthused to be helping me, she also over charged me (she rang it as an eat in so I paid tax and a $0.25 dine in charge) and after asking if I wanted crackers and hot sauce, failed to provide me with either in addition to my cheese for my 3-way and any utensils. I was an all around frustrating experience and I will be hard pressed to visit this location ever again. Looks like I should get used to the drive to Newport location. read more

I swear I just want to smack some yelpers at times... I mean seriously - a review for SKYLINE CHILI in Highland Heights that begins with "Skyline Chili is a restaurant that has become outdated and frankly irrelevant. Skyline Chili is expensive for what you get. I am a vegan and went to the Skyline Chili in Highland Heights, KY." A fkin vegan reviewing the concept of a Skyline Chili... SMFH.... Anyway, I live nearby. This is a family-owned and operated franchise and it has great service and friendly people. They also offer some items that do not appear on most skyline menus (like their skyline pizza - tortilla with chili and cheese and quickly popped in a small oven) and my experiences there have been very good. But seriously - Vegans - stop it... just fkin stop it.... I swear you folks always choose places like this or Mortons and Ruth's Chris to whine about how few options you have.... EAT MEAT!!! You'd find going to a hot dog joint or a steakhouse suddenly would have a ton more options open to you.... read more

I love skyline chilli and this location is no exception. The service is always super fast and the food is always hot and fresh. I would recommend a chili cheese sandwich for those who don't like hotdogs. I also love the three way with habanero cheese. read more

This is your standard chain. I don't have one where I live so I indulged in some drive thru twice over my weekend here with friends! My orders are not for those on a diet. My first day I got five coneys with no mustard. My second time I ordered a four way chili without beans. They hook up the shredded cheddar these! They make their own hot sauce which isn't that bad either. Wish I had one of these in Vegas. Maybe one day. read more

Ate from this skyline yesterday, the first meal and only meal in days where my husband and I could eat together, well today we both came down with food poisoning. read more

I can understand how someone has had food poisoning eating at this location. We walked in and there were cleaning supplies and filthy rags on the dining counter. The employees had been scraping the floor and when we placed our order, the employee set the scraper in the food prep area. He did not wash his hands and he did not put gloves on. The waitress used her bare hands to pick up cheese that had fallen on the food prep area and put it on my plate. It was the most disgusting experience. I work in the public health field and will be reporting this to the local health department. These employees need to be trained in food safety so that they do not kill anyone. read more

I think this location needs work on cleanliness. The bathrooms are filthy, the floors need a good mop, and the prep area is quesstionable. I recommend you go elsewhere for skyline. read more

This is one one best Skylines I have been in. It is CLEAN and the employees and the owner are very nice. Their food is always fresh. I have been to other stores where the Buns don't seem to be fresh. The hot dogs tasted like they have been on the grille way too long. Not here! read more

Always love Skyline!! Was in your location today. The food was great, staff was amazing! Keep up the good work! Always feels great to be there! read more

My family knows that when I'm in town, we're headed here for a Skyline fix. This particular location is great - slightly off the beaten path, super friendly employees and FAST service. read more

Skyline time. 3 ways 4 ways & 5 ways. Always clean, courteous and tasty, I want to have a three way with everyone here! My Fav small 5 way with a bib and Unsweetened Ice tea and Lemonade in a Go Cup. read more

Eh. It wasn't very clean. There were children's handprints on the window when it wasn't busy and gnats in my food. And when it's not busy they rush you out and interrupt you mid-bite. I've lived in Cincy most of my life and always enjoyed Skyline but now I'll head on over to the numerous other chili places. read more

I work near this location and have gone through the drive through every time. I have gone about 3 or 4 times now and each time they have gotten my order wrong. I don't realize until I get back to my office and am very disappointed that I got what I did not order. Also the cups I get are always dripping down the sides and create a mess in my car. I know that seems like a dumb complaint but it's the small things that really irritate me. I will not be going back to this location anymore. read more

Wow. An absolutely excellent skyline. My 4-way was near perfect. The cheddar cheese stacked high and the oyster crackers fresh and delicious. The hint of cinnamon in the chili will never fail to bring a smile to my face prompting pleasant memories of childhood. Awesome atmosphere with great chili. A true gem. read more

Being from out of town, I heard this was one of the chili places to try. I was not disappointed! I got the fully loaded chili with habanero cheese blend (with extra cheese) and it was the best chili I had in quite some time. I also enjoyed the warm oyster crackers (I went through three bowls). The service was fine, and for a semi fast food place, my expectations were exceeded. read more

Skyline is my favorite restaurant! This one isn't as good as others I've been too, but still good. They have weird hot sauce bottles. Overall the food is great, and so is the staff! read more

I ate at skyline today and to be honest had a below average experience. Our waitress had a horrid temperament and wouldn't even make eye contact with us let alone smile (I'm sure she had a beautiful one). Upon arrival the experience was confusing and an overall bamboozlement of the senses. We only had one menu and all of the items had suggestive names such as "three way" "four way" and even worse "five way". Definitely not an experience I'd approve of for my child or anyone and definitely not a family atmosphere. When the food was delivered to our table, the waitress carelessly slung our plates across the table. Such body language suggested that she did not have a passion for her craft, which we (apparently optimistically) expected from an employee at this classic American institution. The waitress then berated the manager who allowed himself to get walked on like an old piece of chaw. Upon paying for the lukewarm, mind blowingingly average meal we waited for about 10 minutes to pay for our meal while the wait staff whose competence rivals that of a 4 year old child, tapped on the computer screen like a confused primate tapping a mirror. The staff had absolutely no clue how to utilize their computer order system and this was especially evident with the restaurants manager, who has the intelligence of my dog (who eats his own poop and once ingested a large amount of rat poison). The manager babbled on and blamed the waitress and other members of the staff for the delay but it really was his fault as he was unaware how to run a functioning establishment. It took him 10 minutes to realize that he could just re print our checks which is a decision that I could have made in about 10 seconds and I have not worked in the restaurant industry in years. I give this restaurant a 2/5 and wouldn't even recommend to a semi-close acquaintance, let alone a friend. Other than our waitress being absolutely eye catching in spite of her attitude I would never return to this establishment. read more

This has been my favorite Skyline until tody. I had just been for a very painful biopsy for cancer that I just found out I had. Ny Son and I stopped for a bite and to my dismay we ere treated very badly and I will never go back nor will any of my friends who I have told about my experience. I always get the Greek Salad and I love it but today it was orrible. I have been a restaurant maager for 30 years so I know about customer service and I received anything but. I told our server and she just said basically, Oh Well Sorry and walked away. I asked for the manager and he proceeded to tell me he had served a lot of them to Police Officers that day and not one complaint. He stood at the the cashier counter and did everything but call me a liar. A lady stopped me outside and said I heard how he argued with you and we will never be back either. I left the server a dollar, not because of the bad salad but because of her disreguard of handling the situation properly. I have many group gatherings there for my breast cancer group but we will go somewhere else here they hire servers and managers who are properly trained in customer service. If one of my employees EVER treated a customer like they treated my son and I he or she would be looking for a new place to work. It's a shame people like this are allowed to work in the service industry and I will see where I nee to go from here to make sure no one else ever feels the humility I did, especially after having such a bad day and think you were going somewhre amongst nice people. Oh Well, there are plenty of friendly people who will welcome me and my friends like the little hostess at Lone Star who do anything in her power to make sure your visit there is pleasant. read more
