    Spicy Cincinnati chili. My fave! This chili put Skyline and especially Gold Star to shame. Get the chili cheese sandwiches or coneys. The owner is super friendly and baited is in with a free sample. Otherwise, I may not have gotten it at all and walked past to the next.

    Not bad chili at all considering Im die hard Skyline only! The walking taco was rather tasty and more filling than I thought. Was it worth $8....thats debatable. Overall it was nice especially since they came to my job and we don't have a cafeteria and are in the middle of a food desert. I would do it again...

    Great food truck with authentic Cincinnati Chili. You can get up to a five way (Chili, noodles, onions, beans, and plenty of cheese). Prices start at $5.00 for a plain or two way Chili and each additional topping is a dollar. You can also order coney dogs, pulled pork, or order the homemade coleslaw.

    Not even going to lie, I was hesitant. A lot of places around here try to do Cincinnati Chili and fail miserably at it. Plus the prices. You think of a walking taco as just being filled in a chip bag, but it's not and they can make them with Doritos! I got mine with half Doritos and half Frito's, DELICIOUS! The taste of the chili is in between GS and Skyline, the closest thing to perfection. I already can't wait for them to come back!

    Wow. That's the only word for it. I don't eat a lot of chili, and when I do it's usually Skyline... and this blew Skyline out of the water. It was amazing. I got a 3-way. The chili itself was seasoned excellent and had a slight kick/spice to it. The spaghetti was well prepared, not rubbery. The cheese was freshly grated and they did not skip on anything. I will DEFINITELY be eating here whenever I can.

    Go to their website, find where they are and go there! One of the best cheese coneys I've ever had! The guys working were super friendly and passionate about what they do. This is a winner, simple as that!

    Cheese Coneys

    May very well be a new favorite for cheese coneys. Found them parked on Fountain Square today and decided to try them out. Got a few cheese coneys with onions. Got out on the square a little early so hardly any wait time. They tasted great. Scarfed them down pretty fast (was pretty hungry!). I'll definitely remember them as a solid option next time I'm in the mood for coneys again. An excellent choice.

I do realize it is a chain but so far they have nailed all the prerequisites of what they need to be a successful chain in my opinion. Definitely recommended to get reservations the day before as I don't believe they take reservations the day of. Ambiance is friendly and warm and service has always been really good! The food is the big highlight though. The food here is just plain amazing. The main course of chicken to all of the side dishes they have. The spoon bread to the sweet potatoes to the mac and cheese, it's all good. It is definitely one of the big reasons we go there. Looking forward to coming back again soon! Bring a big appetite.

I ordered immediately as I was late at 9 PM for dinner. I got the three piece dark with sides of Mac and cheese which came with biscuit, and green beans. Everything tasty enough, and the fried chicken was juicy and honestly fine without the honey. The spicy honey which was in a glass ramekin, was pretty good. As oft said, "I put that sh*t on everything -- so I tried it with the Mac and cheese and it was noticeably better. All in all, pretty good experience here and will rate it 3.5/5 overall.

The space is open, bright and well decorated making it very inviting for brunch. You order at the counter from the menus placed along the wall then food is delivered to your table. The various brunch items all sounded very inviting so I was having trouble deciding what to order. So I got a recommendation to try the Shakshuka. Not sure how to pronounce it but when it arrived it was just the right portion and quite tasty for brunch. It's a bowl with a red pepper sauce and feta cheese and kale along with eggs sunny side up. The dish is served with pita so you can do a little bit of dipping in the tasty sauce. To accompany our food we selected the mimosa service and bloody mary pitcher. A pitcher is just perfect for sharing. And the mimosa service was delightful. The server arrived with a bottle of Prosecco and small carafes of orange, grapefruit and blood orange juices to mix yourself. The food was fresh and tasty with prompt delivery of our food to our table. Not quite a full service restaurant since you have to order at the counter but still a nice experience located downtown.
