Skyline Chili

I’m giving this a 5-​star because I get the strong feeling that it’s as good as any Skyline Chili could possibly get. In terms of décor, menu offerings, and output — I suspect it’s precisely what is intended to be delivered. Conversely, I also assume the devotees expect precisely what is offered up.
Personally, I am NOT a particularly enthusiastic fan of the specialty (the «3-​way») but I certainly respect it — and the throngs of followers it has earned.
It goes to follow that Skyline Chili is here in Naples. After all, I-​75 ends up here — and Skyline Chili hails from Cincinnati.
I can’t help but suspect that central to the «special recipe» is a dose of both chocolate and cinnamon.
For sociologists and gastro-​anthropologists, I strongly recommend coming and ordering the three-​way for starters, and then the four and subsequently five-​way. Take your time eating it. Remember, this is a ritual.
I’ve known scores of Ohioans that get borderline weepy when conjuring images of this unique specialty. It makes me happy to know that it is so loved.
Anyway — I imagine the perfect accompaniment to a 3-​way is something like a Yoohoo, or perhaps even a grape Fanta.

The service was super fast and friendly and the 3-​way delicious! Seems odd to have a chili place in Naples, but Skyline hits the spot every time. If you’re looking for a quick, outside-​the-​ordinary meal with Cincinnati charm, you’re in the right place. Think spaghetti pasta, secret chili sauce, and tons of shredded cheddar cheese and don’t forget to try a «skyliner» (as my dad calls the coneys) on the side.

The worst experience ever with Skyline.

Oh man the chili is so good you can get it however you want they serve it Greek style with no beans you can add red beans they have chili dogs and some weird deal with noodles but still looks amazing
The restaurant is set up almost like a diner not a typical Naples restaurant

Fast, inexpensive and distinctive, memorable flavors.
Every day? No way! But I love dropping in every few weeks for a quick bite.
The staff is ALWAYS nice!

Being from Cincinnati, I was so excited when I found out there is a skyline in Naples. I love coming here as it reminds me of back home! Food is always delicious and service is great.

I never heard of this Cincinnati chain before, and I wish it would come to Chicago. Although it calls itself Greek Style chili, I more accurate description would be the meat sauce used to moussaka. The restaurant offers the basic meat sauce/​chili with or without the addition bean, alone, or on top of several starches, accompanied by cheese and sour cream.
I intend to use the Greek Meat Chili as the foundation to moussaka and pastitsio. This will save me a lot of time and taste wonderful.

This place is always great. I hear a lot of people talk about loving or hating it. If you hated it the first time you tried it, keep coming back. It gets better. Man, these are some good coneys.

These reviews are too funny, Cincinnati chili is an acquired taste. It has chocolate and cinnamon in it, which makes it delicious, but not what many people are expecting when they hear «chili». Don’t get a burrito, you noobs, get 3 – 5 ways and/​or cheese coneys if you’ve never been before. This place reminds me of home every time I go, I love it. Very quick service too. So come try a Cincinnati tradition!

Three of us went there for late 3pm lunch. Not crowded at all but when we ordered at the counter, they told us we had to take a table and someone would take our order. There were 2 ladies already eating and a wait person was taking an order at a table. Three people behind the counter yet no one could take an order for three people. We decided to order at the counter and do take out. Got our order home and was less than pleased. We ordered 5 Coney cheese chili dogs. Usually when I eat a chili dog it has chili on it. There was just a whisper of chili on each dog. I had raved to our out of state guest that Skyline Chili was awesome. We were very disappointed with our meal and rather embarrassed. Next time I go, I will eat in the store so I can complain to them if there’s no chili on the hot dog.

Okay! I have been wanting to try this so badly, as I love LOVE chili!!! The service was acceptable. I just couldn’t get down with the chili!!! «It’s not you! It’s me». I couldn’t handle the cinnamon. So sorry!!!

Grew up on Cincinnati chili. Skyline and Goldstar are the champs of these recipes. Skylines up north have renovated themselves to remain current, this location is a throw back and dates itself to late 80s. Lots of Cincinnati memorabilia, if from Cincinnati, you will feel right at home. The service staff was quick and efficient and had a great attitude even though she had 4 to 5 tables plus take out orders. Wife even though not from Cincinnati absolutely loves the stuff. Although the menu has variety, keep it simple. 3 way or 4 way if you like onions and a cheese coney or two with mustard and onions. Don’t plan on counting fat, carbs, or calories on your trip.

It’s Skyline Chili. Either you get the glory of it, or you don’t. (Which you should, because it’s probably the best Chili I’ve ever had.)
This is the definition of «hole-​in-​the-​wall» awesomeness. Their hot dogs are pretty much exactly what I want when I eat a hot dog. The chili is just plain good, and the piles of cheese they put on everything is sinfully awesome.
Customer service? I’m sorry, I wasn’t paying all that much attention. They just seemed like a distant memory.
If you don’t like it, you just don’t get it. (I actually want to give this place 3.5 stars, but a 3 just seems way too low. I’m torn!)

Cincinnati chili is an acquired taste — it is nothing like the thick, hearty, northern-​style, bean and meat winter chili most people are familiar with. Cincinnati chili has a lot of cinnamon and allspice in it, so people like it– or don’t. I love it, so when I go to a Skyline, I know exactly what to expect. Nothing fancy, but consistently good.
I usually get a «3-​way» which means spaghetti noodles, chili, and a heaping mound of cheddar cheese. To which I add generous amounts of hot sauce. And I always get a cheese coney-​a lil’ hot dog smothered with chili and cheese. Complimentary oyster crackers help when the burn becomes too great.
Food at this location was fast and tasty, and our server was friendly and engaging.

Good bang for the buck & fun people watching!
folks here wear bibs to eat their chili & pasta dishes (signature dish here) & I was in the mood for chili cheese fries but WHAM they don’t have a fryer, so no fries here (not cool!) still, the pasta & chili was pretty good, a tad too much cinnamon & by ‘tad’ I mean a crap-​load, but good for what it is, nice staff & clientele, & cheap for a quick fix.
until I wrote this review, I spelt chili as ‘chilli’ but google & wiki have proved me wrong, this place is great & cheap eats… in a no booze kinda way ;-)

Saw the reviews and immediately became excited for I adore ‘hole-​in-​the-​wall’ eateries.
However my experience was definitely NOT similar at all to a 4-​star rating the other reviewers offered.
I ordered the deluxe burrito (chili filled burrito with extra chili and extra cheese on top), my boyfriend ordered the triple cheese coney. When our order was delivered, we were shocked to find very little chili within the ‘coneys’. They were also quite bashful with the amount of chili I should have gotten with my burrito. The chili was cool, NOT hot, and had a very odd, peculiar taste to it. Nothing to be excited about.
If you’re looking for ‘authentic’ chili, you’re better off buying Hormel’s brand chili from the store and making them yourself.
Don’t bother yourself going somewhere not worth stepping in to.

I am a native of Cincy now living in Orlando. I visit Naples a few times a year for work and have been to this Skyline numerous times. Usually I get good counter service and the food takes care of my fix until I make another trip to SW FL or Ft Lauderdale.
This last trip I had a server that could have doubled for a homeless man. He was making mistakes with orders left and right. He asked and forgot my drink order 4 times. I was by myself and there only 4 other tables occupied. He was very apologetic claiming a headache but my instincts said it was something different.
It was quite possibly the strangest service I’ve ever had in any restaurant… ever.
Everything else was OK although the buns we a bit too crusty like they had been out in the air too long.
I was very disappointed.

Small, quaint hole in the wall eatery. Famous for their Cincinnati-​style chili. If you havent tried yet, what are you waiting for!
Can get very crowded at lunch. We were there around 530pm & were the only ones eating. Friendly staff.
I had the 3-​way over noodles & loved it, just wish I could have received more for my $$ — didn’t feel full when I left!
Also, they do not serve beer or any type
of alcohol.

Good Ohio style Chili. I always hear the native Ohioans talking up the place to the owner when they find it.
I enjoy the chili bowl, coney dogs (dog, mustard, chili, and a ton of cheese), and the chilitos.
Cheap prices and enjoyable flavors.

It’s not as good as eating at Clifton & Ludlow… but it’s a lot shorter of a drive!
