    The sad Gouda panini :(
    Lori S.

    The chili here is amazing! Second time eating The Chili Hut. First time we ate in for lunch. This time got to go for weeknight dinner. The coneys are great and same with my 4-way. This chili has great flavor and a little kick but not too much. Different than skyline of course so I can't compare but I do love this little place! However I ordered a half ham and Gouda panini which says it comes with tomato, onion and mustard but all mine had on it was a piece of ham and a slice of cheese and I was disappointed. It would have been good with the rest. Also ordered a hot dog and cheese for our toddler but they forgot the hot dog! I'll change my review if they address because I do love the chili and our first experience was great, hence why we went back again! Also to note, the first time we ate there the owner was there and he was wonderful. This time was a different person.

    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.

    Milkman, you were so, so, so good to me! I've never been into the restaurant, though I have gotten…read moreDoorDash once before. It was as delicious as I wanted it to be! When my friend and I walked in, we were greeted by such a sweet staff who immediately welcomed us in, shared their thoughts on the menu (since we were first-timers), and suggested we leave a review (they were so lovely, so how could we not!) The entire restaurant feels like the diner Sam worked at in Cinderella Story from the early 2000s - very vintage, very retro, very 50s! It's what I imagine restaurants looking like when my grandparents went on dates when they were my age. I had gotten the tofu nugs via DoorDash, which were better IRL and the milkshake was scrumptious too! My friend got the Milkman Burger, fries, and a fruity pebbles shake. It was all great but let me tell ya...we had this meal almost two weeks ago and I'm STILL dreaming of those French fries. I have had so many iterations of fried potato before...shoestring, steak, wedges, sweet potato, those made from yuca, curly, dipped in ice cream, etc. and these are the best fries I've had in my life. If I could live off the fries, I would. They were that good. I already have plans to share this place with other friends of mine as it has officially worked its way into the rotation for me!

    I got the make your own burger with meat patty, grilled onions, pickles, and special sauce. It was…read morepretty good in all honesty. I did have it to go so all I can tell you is the food was pretty good. I don't know how much I can actually recommend it.

    Probably would rate more at 3.5 rather than 4 but service was quick and friendly for lunch crowd…read more Got 4 tender box, decent price I would say. Chicken was good but nothing to right home about. Liked the ranch but fries were very disappointing. Undercooked and lacked any flavor. I'd go back but not something I'd crave.

    Literally downloaded yelp to leave this review…read more I've genuinely had the best experience at this restaurant, I was walking around looking for lunch today and I had seen city bird before and even delivered a few door dashes from there. Stopped in to check it out for myself. I was instantly greeted by the lady up front. I wasn't able to get her name, she had told me but I wasn't able to get it. I asked for the 4 piece tender meal and asked for a suggestion on whether I should get them house, hot or naked. She suggested the house since it was my first time. I went to go get my drink after paying and withjn 3 minutes my food was ready. As I went to grab my food, she thanked me for my patience and handed me a free 4 piece tender meal ticket! I just want to say this place deserves all the love that I was shown and please if anyone knows the lady's name, I'll need it for the next time I stop by. She had long braided hair and a piercing in her upper lip. Eventually I made it back to Findlay market to eat my food and I don't think I've had better chicken before. It was tender, juicy, and the house sauce is to die for. The fries come with I think Parmesan cheese on them too, pretty good. I will definitely come back for my free 4 piece and it's definitely worth the price. Thank you guys so much you've made my day! :)

    Being that there are only a few Raising Cane's in Michigan I had yet to try this fast fast food…read morejoint that everyone seems to love. However, I was in Cincinnati for the night for work and by the time we wrapped our event my dining options were not exactly plentiful. I figured this would be a convenient time to try them so I went ahead and entered their location into my maps and went to their website to order ahead of time so I could really just jump in and out. Ordering was not difficult though I was honestly a little surprised and how small the menu was. Do a few things and do them well, I would imagine is their motto! I ended up ordering the 4 piece combo and was told it would be ready in 10. I made my way over there with a few minutes to spare. This location does not have a drive thru and is in the bottom level of a larger building so I had to find a place to park to run in. This was surprisingly NOT easy on 10pm on a Wednesday night but I finally managed to get a standing spot (which imagine was dedicated for food delivery person pick up). I ran inside and it was packed with a super long line and a ton of people waiting. I was even happier that I had ordered ahead of time and looked to their online order pick up shelves. They were empty though the staff was calling out names and handing out bags of food so I thought, "oh it's busy and mine just isn't ready yet. I'll wait." And I waited. And waited. And waited. My bad for not going up to the counter sooner but the line was so long I didn't want to wait there and I didn't want to jump in front of anyone just to ask (I'm polite, OK?). But after a few minutes I got antsy and just went ahead and did the "PSST!" thing to the cashier between customers. And yes, of course, my meal was ready. Had been for some time, right behind the counter. I grabbed it filled my beverage and made my way back out. Back at my hotel I dug in and found that because of the wait it had gotten a bit cold and the fries and texas toast had gotten a bit soggy. Somehow, however, the chicken maintained some crunch and I found it to be quite good. I imagine if I were to have gotten it fresh out of the fryer and eaten it onsite I would have enjoyed it much more. As it was, however, it was perfectly serviceable fast food, but it didn't quite make me understand the hype. I'm willing to try it again, though!
