Pros: it's different
Cons: different is not always better
Summary: I recently went to a wedding in Louisville. Several of us Boston folks (and former Boston folks) got together afterwards for a night of conversation and food. We started in a coffeehouse and around 8:30 decided it was time to get some real food. One...

Pros: Delicious, great service, unique.
Cons: Messy, not a first date food!
Summary: I am not a native to Cincinnati - so when I moved here I was boggled by all of the "chili" places that seemed to be on every corner, in every strip mall. Finally, I had to see what all the fuss was about - and walked into a Gold Star Chili, with no idea ...

Pros: Unique. Tasty. Fast service.
Cons: Bad breath. Take a mint.
Summary: Skyline chili has been a staple of my diet as I am a lifelong resident of Cincinnati. Many out of towners just do not get it and that is OK. But I am sad for those who cannot understand the joy of eating a three way or a cheese coney. Skyline is ...

Pros: cheese lovers dream, highly addictive
Cons: onion breath, watch out for the Franchise locations and their skimping ways
Summary: I have lived in Cincinnati since I was about eight in the Clifton area where two of the area food staples can be found: Skyline Chili and Graeter's Ice Cream. The Skyline is located on the corner of Jefferson/Ludlow and Clifton aves caddy corner from ...

Pros: Veeeery Interesting
Cons: Um...sorry this is not chili
Summary: I wasnt sure what to expect, but I was told that I couldnt visit Cincinnati and not eat at Skyline. I was informed that it would have been a crime if i didnt try it at least once. My boyfriend and i went to Skyline on my last night in town. After we...

Pros: Unique, great taste; quick service; lots of food for the money
Cons: The occasional server isn't as good as most.
Summary: There's nothing quite like a Skyline Chili 4-Way with onions (no beans), which so far is the only "way" I've had it save the coney. (I'm not an unadventurous eater, but the taste of this dish is so great, I can't imagine not getting it!) For the...

Pros: Unique chili.
Cons: Outlets not distributed nationally.
Summary: I was born and raised in Cincinnati, so I've had the privilege of having meals for years at Skyline Chili. However, since I've moved away, I've also missed Skyline Chili; there's nothing remotely like it either where I live or work. While I get...

Pros: great food
Cons: the food is hot because they get it right from the oven, so watch your tongue
Summary: Hello, my name is Sue-Sheron. I have visited here in Ohio. I love Skyline chili. If you love, spaghetti, mini hot dogs, chili, cheese, and more at a great price come here. Now, I know that I sound like a commercial, but, it really is the best...

Pros: Free napkins
Cons: Everything else
Summary: If I were the devil, I'd build a special corner of hell for people who hype cruddy products that are hard to find. The residents would be forced to endure all the garbage that they've praised over the years:

Pros: outrageous combination of food
Cons: limited places where available
Summary: Everytime I go to Cincinnati I make it my business to get to a Skyline Chili place and have at it! This is the weirdest stuff you have ever eaten and it does take some getting used to.
The chili is watery and is best when served over plain old...

Pros: The taste, The texture, The mystery
Cons: It's only in Cincinnati
Summary: I guess I have a soft spot in my heart for Skyline Chili. A native New Yorker, I first met the famed Cincinnati Chili establishment at the end of my sophomore year of college at Miami University in Oxford.
The chili spot had just opened, and...

Pros: Great chili, served in a unique style
Cons: I don't know if that stuff's actually good for you...
Summary: I was first exposed to the "Cincinnati" style of chili, served on top of spaghetti, a few years ago while attending a Mensa Annual Gathering. These conventions are held in a different city every year, and since the following year's event would...

Pros: Inexpensive, fast, unique dining experience.
Cons: Cincinnati is the USA's 7th fattest city. This chili helped get them there.
Summary: Cincinnati is a pretty conservative city, and if someone there says to you they are going to have a 3 way for lunch, they probably are just going out for some chili. The combinations of Chili are:
2 way
Chili over
3...

Pros: All the food, the menu satisfies the whole family.
Cons: It's not a five star restaurant
Summary: The appearance of Skyline Chili is nothing special. And if you don't live in Cincinnati or haven't visited before then you probably wouldn't think anything of it. But Skyline Chili is a Cincinnati tradition. Their secret chili recipe makes the mouth...

Pros: Fantastic Flavor
Cons: A little high priced
Summary: The best part of our recent trip to the Argosy Casino in Indiana was that it was only a half hour away from Cincinnati- with plenty of Skyline Chili locations to choose from.
Those who have experienced the taste of Skyline and appreciate it's...
