Skyline Chili

Having moved away from Ohio a few years ago, this is always on my short list of must hit destinations anytime I’m in the area.
The coneys, fries and ways are always perfect here. Not to mention the sweet tea, oyster crackers and hot sauce.
We’ll be back ASAP!

I’m a true lover of coneys since I don’t live in Chicago or New York so when I get a chance, I go and get the best device always. I usually use the drive through and no matter what location I go to, the server is always lively, friendly and upbeat. The food is hot, fresh and so tasty! I loved the skyline hot sauce so much that they gave me a complimentary bottle for free. I thought that was so nice. THe next time that I go to this particular location, I truly have to let management know that their staff is superb. I live about 10 minutes away from this location near US 23 and 750 because I live in Powell. I absolutely love the coney dogs. I also like the chili that they serve as well. No complaints at all. Truly recommended to all that are in that area. Nice lunch spot and the device is fast and friendly. Very clean inside the restaurant as well.

This was our very first Skyline experience and it was amazing! The 5-​way was delicious, and my kids devoured their hotdogs and fries. The staff was friendly and the bibs were very helpful. They even sent us home with goodie bags with a bib, mint, some crackers and free coney coupons. Great work!

Skyline good! Must be a Columbus thing with the odd service. Blue and white stripe manager shirt type just stared at us as we walked in. We said hi but he just kept staring. Odd. Otherwise a five star visit.

The service was great! Our server Jenna was very attentive and so was the manager on duty. The food was delicious. I got the coney dog and habanero cheese fries, it’s always good!

My Drive thru Experience
I was welcomed promptly at the menu board. After I ordered the 5-​way he didn’t just ask if I wanted anything else he specifically suggested a Cheese Coney along with my meal.
At the window I was greeted by a cheerful female who confirmed my order, then asked if I wanted any hot sauce with my meal. She was very polite.
After I got home I opened up the bag to find my meal and a goodie bag full of cheese (2 bags), crackers, hot sauce, fork, napkin, and onions.
I loaded everything onto my 5-​way and devoured it, the correct way of course!
This was a very good experience, and can’t wait to go back again.

Great food for a good price. Try it and you’ll be hooked! The best Cincinnati style chili in Columbus, no competition.

First time at Skyline and it was an awesome experience! Our waitress was so helpful and extremely friendly! Definitely our favorite Skyline! Will be back :)

I love Skyline. I grew up eating it and at least once a month I get an urge for Skyline time. This is one of the best Skylines out there. They are fast to get you your food, very friendly, keep the oyster crackers and drinks filled up and the manager always stops by to make sure everything is up to snuff.

Stopped in for lunch with a group of coworkers. The place was fairly busy during the weekday lunch hour. Its a very casual place where suits & ties along with casual family diners come to grab an inexpensive meal. This franchised location offers both a drive-​thru and plenty of dine-​in space. Plenty of parking spaces should you decide to dine-​in.
The service was prompt, friendly, attentive and helpful. There were a couple order mix-​ups that were quickly rectified. Same great food as other Skyline locations. The menu offered a number of different portion sizes for the menu items. It also listed out calories for those paying closer attention to their diet. I was particularly hungry that day. So, I went with the large 5 way chili. The «ways» come in three varieties … 3 way, 4 way and 5 way. 3 way is your basic … it’s spaghetti topped with skyline chili and mounded high with shredded cheese. With the 4 way, you have the option to choose for beans or onions. The 5 way simply includes both beans and onions. So, if you don’t want beans or onions, choose either the 4 way or 3 way. The large sized portion was quite a good size portion to satisfy my hungry appetite. All priced quite reasonably. They also offer coneys, burritos, chilitos, salads, cheese fries and potatos. Kid’s menu options also available.
hmmmm … getting hungry again. ;)

I love Skyline. I don;t have it where Im from so when I’m in town i hit you guys up about three or four times. The food is always awesome but that is not why I write. My wife and I walked in to this location around 11:05 and i think you open at 11. As we opened the interior door we were greeted by every single person who was on the shift. I think there were about 10 people working; cooks, managers, servers, bussers. Every single employee turned and greeted us. Amazing!!! I work in the food service industry and I immediately was jealous of your team. We got the same greet on our exit. The server was great. Keep it up. That sets the bar high and you guys are exceeding it.

Very friendly staff, didn’t seem phony at all. A good sign when the kids can sit just about anywhere and the kids treat them with respect as well as parents. And the food? DUDE it’s SKYLINE!

OK, it is a Skyline. That is why you go in to eat, because it is a Skyline. As they all are, they are the same. Like i said, Skyline. Same food, same everything as the next Skyline. With that said, the difference should be the service and crew, right? Same food as ALL in the chain… Today when i stopped in it was «SUPER ‘EFFING’ ENTHUSIASM DAY!!! As soon as i got in the door, the whole staff turned and screamed their «greetings», according to the entry on how to greet a Customer from the manual (maybe there is a bonus to see who can be the most over the top…). I HATE THAT!!! Everyone screaming HELLO!!!, HAVE A SEAT!!!, HOW’S IT GOING!!!, what ever… OMG! Once you think about it, it is rude, phony and so completely insincere! Stop it, stop it right now!!! Let me, or whoever, sit down, then, look me in the eye at about an arm’s length, no shouting, and just do a simple greeting. WAAAAYYYY more nice, sincere and pleasant. Also, i did or do not need a snarky, smart ass remark from the bald, know-​it-​all, ass wipe manager, thank you. Here’s to your enthusiasm… Maybe there was someone there from corporate and everyone was freaking out and had to act like a ‘chuckle head on meth’ for the customers… TONE IT DOWN, PLEASE!!! Maybe i would stop in more if i did not have to put up with the phony, over the top, fake enthusiasm. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

I grew up eating frozen Skyline chili as a favorite quick lunch, and have always loved its meaty mix of spice, salt, and cinnamon. But good as the frozen stuff is, the fresh is better, and this is a good location to get it at.
To be sure, Skyline as a whole seems to do a good job at training its staff to be friendly and personable. Or maybe working at Skyline is just that awesome, I don’t know, but the people you meet there always seem to be very nice and helpful, and this chain is no exception. As a customer, it’s hard to be in a bad mood if you’re in there very long, I think. Especially since you are likely there to partake of delicious chili comfort food.
As the name implies, chili is the specialty. I’ve tried various things at Skyline, but my favorite is definitely the the three way chili mac, nice and simple. This is served in three sizes. Unless you have a really small appetite or just want a snack, though, get the regular or large. The small is, well, small. It might be good paired with another small dish, though.
Prices are a bit higher than fast food, but you can easily get a decent meal for under $ 10.

I loved the chilli, I’m not normally a massive fast food fan, but this was great It wasn’t just the chilli, what really made dinner fun and fab were the staff. They were absolutely great, so friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is also pleasant, clean and bright. I recommend this to anyone who needs a quick comfort food style meal.

Being from out of town, I wasnt sure what I was going to experience. What I found was good food and good service.
Correction, Let me change that to Great service. The waitress (Tiffany) was very friendly and when she found out I was a first timer, she brought me out a two sided card that explained all of their traditions, and gave an origin story of their restaurant chain. I was already pretty happy with their service, but about half way through my meal, the manager Pete stopped by, and took service to the next level. Not only did he stop to have a couple of minutews of conversation with me, but then he gave me a Skyline can koozy filled with their mints, crackers, hot sauce, and a coupon for a free hot dog on my next visit. On top of all that, Pete picked up my lunch check as well. Phenomenal service for sure!
As for the food, I had a small 3 way chili, which was basically spaghetti noodles, covered in their chili, then covered in shredded cheese. The chili is more of a sauce. Its not what your used to if you usually eat Texas style chili. In North Carolina, we would call it «Hot dog Chili». the flavor was good, and I now understand why they offer a bib, It would be really easy to get droplets of chili on your clothes if your not careful.
I also had a cheese coney hotdog. It was good, but was a little small. Definately get two if this is your main course.
to summerize, phenominal service and good food in a quick service sit down restaurant atmosphere. I highly recommend giving it a try.

My monthly yen for Cincy chili struck again so I hit this location again and it was Kids night to my chagrin but with my Kindle and free wifi little could keep me away from a cheesy chili three way today!
I thankfully arrived after their dinner rush and my order was promptly taken and served in a matter of minutes, talk about immediate gratification. My drink stayed filled and got a check in visit from the manager. I have always gotten great service at this location and part of the reason I go back here.

I like Skyline, I don’t claim to be a coney/​chili expert, but I think the food here is good. The service is very good too. I think its Tuesday night that kids eat free and even though its packed the service remains good. We don’t avoid the place on Kids eat free night
My only ding on this place is they have a great baked potato and this store seems to run out frequently (Maybe 2 out of every 10 times I visit)

OK, for anyone expecting a bowl of Texas/​whatever style bend-your-spoon-because-it’s-so-thick-and-hearty chili, this IS NOT your place. Don’t bother even stepping inside of the door.
Skyline chili is better described as a sauce, not a «chili», but I digress. This isn’t gourmet food by any stretch of the imagination, but it is quite tasty if you accept it for what it is. Skyline isn’t fast food, but it isn’t casual dining either … really more of a «quick serve» restaurant. Order and you should have food on your table in about 3 — 5 minutes tops. I personally love the 5-​way with tons of oyster crackers and habanero cheese.
This location is on par with any other Skyline that I’ve been to. Service is adequate and food is consistent.

I think I’m stuck at 3 stars. I generally refuse to eat fast food, but I suppose this is more like Quick Serve more than fast food. Although, there is a diner but also a drive-​through? It was really nice to be able to see the staff make the food right in front of us when we were sitting at the bar. The other thing is, come here for the good looking staff! Surprised!!!
Um, Michelle INSISTED that we *had* to come by — of course, I trust her judgement and it was so close by — we stopped in before our 7 hour drive back to Chicago. I’d like to say, I’m a fan! I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here, but I did enjoy the coney’s. Just with chili. I tried it with the cheese and the onions and felt the the cheese was overwhelming, and the onions were SO strong and so bitter. Same with the 5-​way, I could do without the red kidney beans and the onions. We had a very fun experience here and a taste of «local» cuisine! It’s not your typical chili — it has hints of cinnamon and it’s more of a dark brown color then on the more maroon side. The consistency is also different being a more «runny» style chili with less chunks of meat. It’s more like a chili sauce! I did love the cinnomon flavor though, will have to try that at home.
Luckily, we’re ladies and didn’t experience any horrific episodes of car evacuation from high levels of gas from the chili and beans during our long road trip back :)
