A Cincinatti-area experience probably would not be complete without Skyline. It's fast food, yes, but with table service. We had a large group, but we were able to order quickly, and food was out unimaginably fast. And our waitstaff was sooooo nice. Skyline is a chili restaurant, but it's more about what you pair with your chili: spaghetti, potatoes, mac 'n cheese, etc. And universally with cheese, lots and lots and lots of cheese. I thought it was all kind of weird. But that was before I tried the food. I really enjoyed my chicken chili potato. My girlfriend loved her mac 'n cheese with vegetarian chili. My sister got the same, but with the carnivore chili. My other sister got the burrito with chili. I really didn't have high hopes for Skyline, but ended up pleasantly surprised. I'm highly likely to come back. read more

Breakfast is delicious. Service was quick and easy. Breakfast burrito sauce is a very nice contrast with the burrito, almost tangy. Ambiance is great. Would recommend trying both items. read more

I know I'm likely in the opposition here as everyone seems to raves about Skyline and there is always a crowd, but I have yet (and probably won't ever) be impressed. These dogs are ok - and you can't beat the price (unless you go to Costco), but it's just a cheap hot dog, with some low grade chili smothered in fresh shredded cheese. However, the place was clean and service is very friendly. read more

i've never had a bad meal here. They do 3-way Chili the "right way", but you can adjust to your tastes. Extra juicy, less pasta, and you can vary the taste to your preference. The chicken chili did take a few meals to get used to, but it's really great on a coney or baked potato with cheese. The wait staff is friendly and competent, can't ask for better service. I drive 10-15 miles out of my way to visit this location read more

Always get my order wrong ask for extra cheese get charged for it but don't get it ask for extract sauce never get it. Done!

First, I'm gonna start off with great food and the food is really good because they never mess up my order and stuff gets here quick second service service is the best everyone's nice and I like how they put their name on top of the table and you canset at the bar you can see what they're cooking and they have gift cards and on items for you to buy and they even have dessert like apple pie Oreo, cheesecake, coconut cream, pie, fudge cake, and more The ambiance was very, very nice. Everything is clean and they have a lot of tables in the room to work and have fun. read more

I have found that the quality of the delivered product varies by location quite a lot. I'm still trying to figure out where the chili on my burrito and 5-way went at the Fairfax location. I seem doomed to get mountains of cheese, but very little chili. Perhaps they are running low? read more

The service here is always very quick. They were packed when we went but no issues getting waited on. Our food was perfect as usual.

Stopped in because a friend suggested it as part of the Cincinnati experience. Speedy service (like Super fast) and classic diner atmosphere. Offspring got a basic hot dog (or "coney") and I had a small serving of the chili four ways (spaghetti, chili, a mound of cheese and diced onion). The chili has a unique flavor profile - maybe some cinnamon and nutmeg? - but the whole thing was very tasty (and the portion size was perfect for a first time experience). We'll probably be back for the SO to try it next time through! read more

I have loved this place for so long! The food is great and the servers are amazingly nice. Sometimes they forget to bring out some food, but you can always ask. Amazing place all around! read more

While the food is ok we always leave hungry as the portions are just a rip off. Other skylines portions make this store look like a rip off.

Regular as ever.... underwhelming but I always come back ‍ My go-to is the hot dog. Service is fine.

The food arrives faster than the Marvel Rivals queu time. The food is always amazing, and the staff are very nice. They didn't have the ice cream though it's sold out everywhere. Great place though. read more

Great Skyline location. It is easy to get in and out of. It offers a drive thru and even if there is a decent line, they are very efficient. The staff at the window are always very friendly. This is one of the few locations that ACTUALLY includes everything in my bag for my 5 way with habanero cheese. Usually someone forgets the onions or gives me regular cheese, or omits the crackers. Everything was in the bag, it tasted good, and the sweet tea was on point. YES VICTORY! I cannot speak for the inside here as I always get my order to go. read more

Skyline Chili - Lrg 5-way with habanero cheese and sweet tea - Salad Near Me - Milford, Ohio

Smallest portion sizes of ANY Skyline location I have ever been to! Asked for heavy chili and onion and got neither. Must have been a very tiny handful of cheese on top, came nowhere near covering the chili and spaghetti. Confronted the Manager and he basically doubled down and defended it. Note this is not an isolated incident here....every time we have come the food is as dry as a bone. Will be our last time at this location. The Skyline on 28 up on the hill is MUCH better. read more

Owner is very cheap. At the old location they spilled chili all over the floor scooped it back up and served it to people, fired someone for spilling a thing of cheese recently and throwing it away instead of putting it back up and serving it to people. They do not know how to treat their staff and servers the owners scream at the servers if they do one little thing wrong. If the serves give a family too many napkins or crackers they will charge the servers for it. The bored of health really needs to check out that skyline. They talk to their staff so rudely cussing at the staff and throwing their hands up. they use dirty rags "towels" for multiple tables at a time. they leave dirty bins filled with plates where people can see them. Overall they treat their staff horribly. IF YOU OR FAMILY WANTS TO WORK HERE DON'T read more

Great, fast, friendly service, and always great food! Much better experience than the location on highway 28.

This is the best Skyline to do it folks. Everyone is so kind and the food has never disappointed. Getting food while seated at this skyline feels quicker than going through an empty drive-thru anywhere else. Thank you so much to everyone at our local Skyline for making it what it is, the best. read more

So I went to write a review on the Skyline in Eastgate and wanted to check out what I had written about this location first..........and whaaaaa?!?! No review?! That can't be! I've been coming to this location for years! It's like home, I tell ya. So I had to stop and do dis thang. The best. Simply. The. Best. Great, fast service. Waitresses here are always so friendly, attentive and smiling. The service is perfect and my order has been correct 100% of every time I've been here. This is a family owned business in a small family town and I wouldn't have it any other way. read more

UGH. I really didn't need to be reminded about this place. My friend and I visited here to try this whole "Cincinnati Chili" for the first time. The ladies who work here heard this, shot us this look, and then gave us a sample of the 5-layer. It was free, on the house, and it was delicious. Before we could even leave the ladies also gave us a little bag of gifts-- hot sauce packet, crouton, and a bib. Overall, people here are just too nice. All the niceness made it a very uncomfortable experience, and we'll definitely come back. -Review by Grumpy. read more

Skyline Chili - 5-way chili and a coney. Great deal!! - Salad Near Me - Milford, Ohio

Skyline is a must. Especially if you are from Cincinnati or if you're not from Cincinnati! I love their spaghetti chilito(s)! And their Greek salads. And their cheese fries. And, of course their crackers. But that's just me. There's so much more. read more

they give you very little chill on anything you order. got a three way and when I opened it up when I got home it had very little chili that didn't even cover the spaghetti. read more

Making this short & not so sweet. First i hate drive thrus, as the workers NEVER seem to get anything right.So I go inside to watch them prepare my meals. The place is a mess. Now here you have 6 people working, 2 tables being occupied by customers and there is food on the floor, & dirty dishes piled on tables. I also noticed whomever tables those belonged to, had no tip, as the waitress had already collected. I stood at the counter for a good 3 minutes while the employees, either looked at their cell phones or just stood & talked amongst themselves.. Needless to say I walked out & went to Gold Star to get what was needed. read more

[This is part of a set of reviews covering establishments my family and I encountered while taking a road trip to Cincinnati.] ***** Chain review disclaimer: I won't do 'em. You can't make me. Well, ok. Yes, you can. But not easily. I've sworn off chain reviews because chains are supposed to be the same wherever you go. That's the beauty of a chain restaurant. So I'll only do a review if there is something out of the norm for a chain, or the particular location. This will happen if there is something unique, if they are extraordinarily good, or extraordinarily bad. ***** OR, I'm traveling and encounter a chain I've never experienced before. That's what this review is. Understanding that this yelp will be read by many Midwesterners, I'm going to take this opportunity to educate them on what you Cincinnati-ans call chili. Please don't be offended by what I describe here as I'm not trying to judge. I'm just trying to describe it so "my people" understand "your people's" cuisine. My sister-in-law moved here about two years ago and was taken aback by the chili here. Working for a hotel, however, she had to understand the local lingo so she could educate others like ourselves from out of town. That's what she did for us. We come from a place where chili is a thick, tomato based soup (for lack of a better word) with ground meat, lots of beans, onions, and different spices. What you Cincinnati-ans call chili, we call, well, spaghetti with meat sauce. The descriptions of the chili are pretty amusing and reflects a trend in the area (which I'll get to in another yelp). You can order a 2-way, 3-way, 4-way, or 5-way chili. They go like this: 2 way - chili (basically sauce and ground beef) over spaghetti noodles 3 way - add cheese 4 way - add beans or onions 5 way - add both beans and onions Being that this was so foreign to us and that my sister-in-law and brother-in-law had never really tried the chili, we decided to have a chili throwdown between the two big chains in Cincinnati: Skyline Chili and Gold Star Chili. I guess the people in Cincy are very loyal to one or the other and get into squabbles over which is better. We ordered a five way and a pint of straight chili from each place. Out of the four of us (me, my wife, my siter-in-law, my brother-in-law), I was the only one that liked the Skyline Chili better. They tasted much the same, but the Skyline Chili had a touch of anice in it, was spicier, and the onions were better. I'm not sure if the two chains use to different types of onions or not. I'm not usually a big fan of anice, but the taste added another dimension to the chili that Gold Star didn't have. See my review of the Gold Star Chili at http://www.yelp.com/biz/gold-star-chili-milford. We did take out for our throwdown, so I didn't experience the restaurant itself, but the drive-thru guys were friendly. And if you're curious, Skyline was about 70 cents cheaper for the same order. The winner of the throwdown? I guess it would be Gold Star since it was 3-1. But we still don't get it. If we ever get back to Cincinnati, we'll have to have a chili cookout so you Cincinnati-ans can taste what we call chili. All yelpers will be welcome. read more

This Skyline does not taste like any other Skyline that I have eaten at. I can't be for sure, but I swear that the chili tastes as if it has been watered down. The service is prompt and friendly, but that has little meaning when they are serving you horrible, watered down (allegedly) chili. read more

This is a Locally Owned awesome Skyline. The owner/manager of the Milford Skyline and his crew catered our wedding and helped make it fantastic. I highly recommend them for any catering, even if you have a closer Skyline. read more

This is one of the best skylines in Cincinnati family only and run great service. I always order the juicy 3 way. You know what's a good skyline when the windows are all fogged up. read more

This skyline is how all skylines should be.. Professional, Nice Waitresses Fast, Delicious Food & an overall good vibe to the restaurant. It'll forever be one of my favorite skylines in Cincinnati. read more

Purchased skyline chili and spaghetti 3 pack twice from Sam's in Eastgate and twice got just chili. Check your stuff skyline. Wtf!

I've done dine in and carry out, and they have both been great! The service is quick and accurate, and the food is good!

Let me start off with saying that I do not like chili. It's disgusting. But, Skyline's chili is special. It's the only chili that I will eat! The waitresses are phenomenal, they are happy, kind, and chatty! Once me and my sister went in there and they knew exactly what we wanted! Our server today was amazing, and we were telling jokes and stuff. Also, the food is FAST! It came out in about a minute, and was delicious as always! read more

This restaurant no longer serves food properly since it has been rebuilt. The skyline deluxe burrito is now a simple chilito on top of a salad. They have started using oversized buns for the cheese coneys and no longer put enough chili on them. Also the cheese Coney buns are not soft and light and warm but cold and dry. Don't waste your time asking for a bottle of hot sauce to purchase because they don't sell it. Last time I went through the drive-through to order a large four-way and a bottle of hot sauce, they said they don't sell it anymore. I know they sell it at Kroger and other grocery stores, I just don't understand why you can't buy it at the source. Very frustrating, and I won't be back. I would recommend everybody to avoid this location. read more

The best Skyline I've ever been in. Always good and consistent and the customer service is top notch. Other locations could learn from this Skyline. read more

Horrible!!! Just went down and got carry out.we ordered a large 5 way and 4 cheese coney's with everything on the side.Got all the way home and they only gave us 1 pack of cheese for all of that!! Dinner ruined!! read more

If you're into clean, think twice before going here. I was in late-ish on a Saturday. i saw that the already-gross wall-to-all carpeting was covered with food -- cheese, oyster crackers, spaghetti, etc. The staff was just walking over it. (There were only two tables of customers and numerous staff.) I can't comment on the quality food at this Skyline : I was so grossed out I left. read more

I know my Skylines and this is one of the best in the city. Family run and friendly. Love it!

Best skyline in cincinnati! I live in Reading but will go out of my way to go here. Nice people, good service, and a great atmosphere. Also, maybe it's just me but everything I've had here has tasted better than any other location. I will continue to come here very frequently. Shoutout to Keith, Jade, Sam, Laura, and everyone else, you guys are awesome! read more

Hands down, the best Skyline out of them all! Excellent service, and the food is always top notch! Love to see the same faces working there for a long time, says a lot about management and the customers! read more

Love, love, love this skyline!! The food is always great and the staff is amazing. This is the second year we have had them cater a grad party, best decision we could have made! I was actually able to enjoy the party and not be running around worried about food! I would recommend their catering to anyone. Way to go Skyline family, you saved the day! read more
