skyline chili

this is truly the best of the best. location is a classic night haunt.

the skyline chili is a good place to hangout. i tried the 5 way it was great but not as what people in cincinnati claim. still i would give it a shot for sure 😁.

the food was good and the crowd was great.
the place is easily accessible and the staff was very courteous and nice.
the service was good and fast.

i love cincinnati style (greek) chili and skyline is my second favorite after gold star, a relative latecomer to the scene. or is blue ash chili my favorite? i'm really not sure. but skyline is near the top of my list and the clifton location is the spiritual center of the skyline universe.

i don't get the cincinnati chili thing. it is average at best. i could go to the store right now with no recipe and put together better chili than theirs.

skyline is alright, but i would reccomend going to j gumbos next door if you want much better flavor.

chili seems to be all the rage in cincinnati but it's nothing special. cheap options are available. timings and service make it a worthwhile place to visit though it gets old really quickly.

i can't imagine anyone not raised on this stuff liking it, but i guess some people do. it's sweet chili over pasta with lots of cheap cheese on top. not healthy, not tasty, not in any way good as far as i can tell, but some people like it. you can try to order the 'three way' with a straight face. good luck getting it down.

absolutely hands down the best coney in the usa!! i order the spice packets/cans online so i can duplicate the experience at home in alabama. i once drove the family an hour off course just to eat at skyline chili!!!

the place. the best location for skyline chili. heck, the best location for cincinnati chili, period. love the 5-way and cheese coneys.

cincinnati chili. what can i say...ummm it's better then gold star!!

who dey???. for real though if u from cincy and u aint tried skyline chili u shud pack ya bags and move outta here because you are not a real cincinnatian! this stuff goes hard and is my favorite place to eat and chill at 12 am !!

after that first tentative bite, it took me about three seconds to wolf down the remainder of the cheese coney. its not a difficult feat, since they are only about half the size of a standard size hot dog. one of my lunch companions had ordered more than he could eat, so i helped him out by devouring one of his coneys while someone else in our party called him a pussy. before long, it was time to return to work. but six hours later, i was back at skyline for some dinner time takeout consisting of more of those cheese coneys and a four-way with onions. yes, it was probably overkill, but in all the best ways.

one area where the skyline coney excels is their cheese. much like the chili, you get a large amount of cheese on each coney

why do they call this chili?. ok, disclaimer, i'm not a native cincinnatian and i mean no offense. but to call this cinnamon meat soup "chili" is a disservice to real chili. people have told me you have to try it several times before you acquire a taste for it but i can not understand why anyone would want to do that. its not like this stuff is good for you and if you want to throw caution to the wind, there are tastier options out there.

chili, outside of cincinnati, does not have cinnamon in it. it is not the consistency of water. it can actually be eaten by itself without the need for a little white hot dog or some spaghetti under it. and you don't need oyster crackers or a pile of cheese 4 inches deep to cover the flavor of it. i have yet to find any actual chili in cincinnati (seems like everyone here is crazy for the cinnamon meat soup on top of a whithered finger looking hot dog) and have given up the search. if anyone has found some chili, i'd love to hear a recommdation as i actually enjoy the stuff.

how can you not like skyline?. it's always the same and it's always delicious! this location is special because it's across the street from the bar and if you go in there at the right time everyone will either be drunk or stoned. this adds to the ambiance! you will be sorry the day after when it's potty time because you thought you needed that extra coney!
