Skyline Chili

Can’t beat Cincinnati’s best chili!
This place was exceptional for sure! The service is excellent. and the food comes out extremely fast!
A 3-​way for me… a Vegetarian black bean burrito for my little sister (plus an order of chili cheese fries for us to ‘split’)… good stuff every time!
PLUS… THE SKYWAY DEAL IS BACK. EXTRA CHEESE FOR NO EXTRA PRICE! WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!

OK, I have a problem with the review posted below because he was a first-​timer. What is the rationale for giving this 4 stars instead of 5? This Skyline Chili is in the upper echelon of all Skyline Chili’s. I lived minutes away from this location and have eaten here over a durations of years, not months or days. I know what I am talking about.
Skyline Chili is simply one of the best places you can eat at in Cincinnati because it cannot be duplicated, no matter how hard competitors and outsiders try to steal their concept. Passing this place by is the equivalent of visiting Chicago and not getting a Chicago style dog, of visiting New York and not getting their pizza or deli sandwiches, etc.
The other review fails to mention the 3-​way, 4-​way, and 5-​way chili spaghetti plates. These are what first time visitors should order, probably not their cheese coneys, which are also very good but if you are not used to their cheese, you may not like it as much. It sounds like the other reviewer can’t handle his food too well.
The service cannot be matched here, as it takes about 2 minutes for your food to be brought to your table after it has been ordered. You get unlimited oyster crackers with unlimited hot sauce. Plus, they tend to hire semi-​attractive girls or better.
Best place ever, will eat here every time I am in Cincinnati.

I was told that Cincinnati is a Chili Town and native Cincinnatians love this place. And, I do believe they do, as trekking around Kentucky and Ohio today on the freeways, there are tons of these places around. I was running early for my meeting so I figured it’d be a good time to pop in and see what all the hubub is about.
I walk in, I’m greeted immediately by 3 or 4 people, and find my way to the counter. Everyone is super friendly, and you get table waiter service in there… nice. I look through the options and there were tons of good looking items that would probably make me burst at the seams and go into a food coma (which wouldn’t be good for my meeting), so I decided to keep it light and order up a couple Cheese Coney’s and a sody pop. My order came up quickly, and I also received a bowl of oyster crackers? Ok… The Coney’s are maybe 5″ length hot dogs in buns, smothered with their special recipe chili, onions, mustard, and a mountain of shredded cheese. Quite tasty I must say… and the oyster crackers went well too. And the service is killer. My drink was always topped off and they checked to make sure everything was okey dokey a few times. When I first walked into the joint, I felt a bit out of place, probably because I was the only Japanese guy in a 10 mile radius at least, plus I had a shirt and tie on… probably not their regular walk-​in. These guys had me at ease and ordering and eating in no time. Great place.
On a side note, they do use ALOT of cheese. They should call it a CHEESE Coney instead of a Cheese Coney. 6 hrs later I got the familiar tummy rumble… (Damn you lactose intolerance! lol…) Gotta remember to bring the lactaid next time… ;)
