Not exactly a healthy choice but something you should probably try in Cincinnati. It seems to be a thing; chilli with spaghetti. The service here is really good. Very friendly and helpful if you're unsure of what's being served. My server was absolutely amazing and very funny. My suggestion is to ask them for a quarter of the cheese they would normally put but the locals around me thought it was odd that I scooped most of it away. Regardless, it is something you should definitely try at least once in your visit.

Although I've grown up with Skyline, I can say with confidence that it has very polite staff, and a great taste. I'm a vegetarian, so I am always pleasantly surprised when I can eat at a fast food restaurant where people are fine with not serving me meat. (Unlike experiences I've had with other places like McDonald's). I always get a Regular Vegetarian 3-Way, and I'm always content with my meal. :)

Always busy, but the staff are great. I have never felt rushed. This is often a problem downtown at lunchtime. Food quality very high. Right on bus line for Route 33. I like to stop at least every other week on my way to work for lunch.

Quaint little place. Incredibly old school inside with the bar wrapping around the grill. This was my first taste of Cincinnati chili, I'd say not bad. Our server was great, the service is incredibly fast, and the portions are quite generous.So in my time in Cincinnati, I've met two types of people. One, who love Skyline "chili" and absolutely swear by it, and recommend this place every other time you hang out with them.

Three cheese coneys, extra mustard, no onions please. The conys are always great. The staff is super nice and actually remembers my name!

Not quite as good as Texas chili, but freaky good cony's. Very nice staff. Would come back and really would like to try the chili cheese fries.

Always excellent. Skyline is one of the staples of Cincinnati and this location shows it. It's obviously a very busy spot for lunch time, but the staff does an amazing job at taking care of all the tables and making sure the food comes out delicious.

Uhmmm where do I begin? The first words from our waitress was that she was sick (coughing everywhere) so we ordered our food and it was nothing but cold once we got it. Pretty much felt sick from eating it... something was off... Wished we had a better experience since we were recommended to eat there by so many people. I hate to complain about places but this was a BAD experience.

Skyline chili is like no other chili. When I need to get my Skyline fix on, I slide in here, sit at the counter, and eat a three way and cheese coney. Always good service.

A Cincinatti classic. Each meal is piled high with shredded cheese, so definitely watch how you're eating or it'll be all over you. The famous recipe is famous for a reason - it's the perfect meal for a warm lunch or hearty dinner.

Great service with a smile and wonderful chili for all. The bibs we got made for a funny photo opportunity. Nice to try some of the best fast food chili in the city where it was founded. Highly recommend when in downtown Cincy.

I celebrated my birthday earlier this evening in this delicious restaurant. I am glad to say that it was a fantastic evening and the venue was absolutely one of the reasons for this happy meeting. The team collaborated in a lovely manner, the food was yummy and my guests were so pleased. We shall absolutely visit again for more celebrations. Thank you very much.

Service was great (our server gave us gift bags as first timers), we were served quickly. Greek salad was good, but I wasn't a fan of the chili (sorry Cincinnati).

I arrived downtown on a cold day absolutely starving and the only thing I wanted were some chili cheese fries from Skyline. I’d never visited this location, but it was just as homey and friendly as any other I’ve been to. The service was fast and it was nice to see families there. This place is great for everyone. Their fries are skinny cut and covered perfectly with chili. The chili gets absorbed by the fries in just the right way. The shredded cheese is heaped on top and melts throughout the meal. Skyline has Pepsi products if you’re curious. Just interesting to note.

The chilli here is one of the best you will have. The chilli is like no other

Questions & Answers

Yes God I do love Skyline. I eat that or Gold Star 200+ times a year, no exaggeration either.

First of all, you have to understand that the chili here is not what most people typically think of as chili. It's more a sauce for spaghetti or hot dogs. It's also a bit of an acquired taste. Some people love it the first time, some don't, but if you come to like it, you'll probably get cravings for it. By far and away, I think, "3-way" is the best and most popular item on the menu. You can augment by adding beans or chopped onions to make it a 4-way (or both to make a 5-way), but those are really just variations on the 3-way. Like at "In 'n' Out Burger" out west, there are some off-menu variations. 1. You can order any of the above "dry" which means they'll drain some of the watery liquid that collects from the spaghetti and the chili. 2. You can order "inverted," in which case the chili will be ladled over the cheese rather than the normal cheese on top. There are more obvious variations such as extra cheese and extra chili.

In 1949. Skyline is celebrating it's 70th year in 2019.
