Skyline Chili

I guess you get what you pay for. Lunch for two was less than $ 15 but the chili cheese dogs were tiny and hardly had any chili, and the 3 way potato also had hardly any chili. Severely disappointed.

I love this place for a change of pace as far as fast food goes. I lived in Cincy for a few years and this was our favorite. The chili dogs are fantastic as are the 3 ways. The chili is the same as it was 30 years ago. The chili is cinnamon flavored so if you do not like it or are allergic to it, this is not the place for you. The hot dogs aren’t the largest or the best quality, but the flavor of the chili and the piles of fresh cheese on it more than make up for it.

I am from Cincinnati. love skyline chili. I have visited the Skyline in Stow several times. On 2 different occasions they have been short on supplies that have affected my order.
Out of onions
Out of French Fries.
I believe the staff take short cuts. Both times was 1 hr before closing.

We stopped in for the first time tonite. It was a pleasant place… very sweet and informative waitress. She explained everything about the chili to us.
Brought us samples of the chili.
I’m sure the ppl that like this type of chili find it phenomenal. …however it was very over spiced with cinnamon… which I understand is there way of doing it. It just didn’t seem balanced to me in the flavors. It would be a good base to layer some more flavors to it…
It was very quick service… but is should have been. Everything is very hold able and fast in its own rite. .
Based on the service and quickness… I would come back — IF I liked the chili. But it just wasn’t my daughters and I cup of tea.
Wish they had some Michigan coney places around. lol
Yummmmmm

What on earth is better than Skyline chili? Friendly service and great food as always.

As someone who has never been to Skyline in the past, I have to say that I am very satisfied with the service I received, and the overall quality of the food.
I went for an early dinner it’s my girlfriend (of whom introduced me to Skyline Chili) and the restaurant isn’t an overly big place, but not cramped by any means. It is a very clean place as well.
The waitress that greeted us (and also served us) was very nice and polite. She made suggestions on the menu upon learning that I was new to the restaurant. The waitress was also very prompt with delivering our drinks and food and asked (only once) if everything tasted good.
The food we received was outstanding. It was fresh, hot, and tasted great. The presentation of the food we ordered was perfect as well.
Needless to say, we will definitely be returning to this Skyline Chili in the near future. I would also recommend this location to anyone who is wanting to try something new as well!

Darn good food for a really cheap price. I love their chili, some people hate it because it has cinnamon in it… Greek style. I think it is very good and I usually get the cheese coneys which they put an absolutely ridiculous amount of cheese on… in a good way. I like their hot sauce because it is super hot. It is great on their coneys.
The fries are more of a string style… and they are nice and crispy.
Service is good and they usually have your food out extremely quickly. Overall, you should at least try one of the Skyline Chili locations of you have not already.

Good but not as good as in Cincinnati.

The chili is always consistent. I am shocked at how dirty this restraunt is. Under staffed and the owner/​manager does nothing. Stands around and has no desire to take care of customers. This is now three weeks in a row with the same results. The staff mimics the owner lazy.

Need a Skyline fix, but you’re on the opposite side of the state from Cincinnati? No problem. All you’ve come to expect from the original Skyline locations in the Queen City is here — the quick and friendly service, the three-​ways bursting with yellow cheese, the bibs, and the oyster crackers with «hot» sauce.
This location is almost always busy, but we’ve never had to wait for a table. Sometimes you will have to wait a bit longer than you might expect for your food, but that’s if an influx of carry-​out orders happens to come through right before you sit down. Typically, the food is out within 5 – 7 minutes of ordering.
Vegetarians, do not despair! 3-​, 4-​, and 5-​ways can be made with Skyline’s special black-​beans-​and-​rice mixture, which also fills their scrumptious black bean burritos. In my opinion, it’s even better than the original chili that made the chain famous. If you’re a chili fan, though, you can buy cans of it (or, better yet, packets of the seasoning mix) at the counter.
Note: they take credit cards, but you’ll need to pay at the counter. Feel free to leave the tip in cash at the table.

Gotta love the classic!
If you haven’t had Cincinnati style chili, give it a try. Don’t expect the Texas style chili most everyone is used to. This stuff is more like a sauce. Have it on some spaghetti.
Yeah buddy!

We took our granddaughter there last night. She got a hot dog which was OK. I had 3 way chili, my husband had 5 way chili. Both of ours were inedible. The spaghetti was mushy, the sauce had a funky taste, the whole dish was barely warm and the cheese just sat there. The waitress never came back to our table because we were going to order each of us a hot dog. There was one gentleman at a table near us and that was it. The servers stood behind the cash register talking and we couldn’t get anyone’s attention. The waitress flew by and put our bill down and left. Never once asked how things were – she could obviously tell because our plates were barely touched. I decided I would tell the cashier when he asked how the meal was exactly how I felt. He could barely tear himself away from his conversation with the servers and didn’t even ask. Shame on me for not telling him how nasty everything was. We will never go back.

I went here for the first time today. Pretty good little joint if you like 3 way chili. Service was good. Very good portions for the price. The spaghetti wasn’t over cooked like a lot of places do.
I’ll definitely have to go back and try their chili dogs and other items. The service was good and the servers were pretty friendly.

I wish we had continued down the street to Retro Dog. Talk about the most unhappy staff, grumpiness at its finest.
Blah food, blah staff. The only reason I gave it a two star rating is cause my husband likes this stuff. I couldn’t think of anything worse to eat.

After my first trip, I wasn’t amazed – it was just OK. Shortly thereafter, I had dreams about it. Soon enough, I went back, and now I have around half-​a-​dozen frozen boxes in my freezer and even more cans. Skyline has made me an addict.

I am a fan of skyline. I tried for the first time in Columbus and really have loved it ever since. For what I can tell people either love if or hate it. My husband and I love it. To be honest I don’t think about it very much when we go out but I love the 3 way and my husband really enjoys the coneys. Mmmm now I want skyline…
PS: not diet food but very delicious!

I am not sure why anyone would go to Skyline and be upset about «minimum nutritional value». Did you look into the food you are about to eat AT ALL? It’s chili, noodles, and a pile of cheese for pete’s sake. I don’t think anyone (maybe except for our clueless friend Wil W.) is going to Skyline for a healthy meal. I feel sorry for people like Wil W., who don’t look into the food they are about to eat, and blindly eat something that they obviously have no business consuming, then have the audacity to judge others who enjoy it. Bottom line: health nuts, this place isn’t for you.
I grew up in Cincinnati, and this Cleveland area locale brought me home. Polite service, excellent food, and quick. If you enjoy chili, with either noodles, or a hot dog, topped with cheese, check this place out. It’s different, but I find it delicious. If you are concerned about possibly putting unhealthy food in your «temple», you may not want to try it. And if you do, don’t come on here and whine about how horrible it is for you, because anyone with half a brain can put that together by simply looking at the menu.

I know Skyline is a classic. But the 3-​Way was perhaps not the best way for me to go. The service was quick and I did appreciate that the shredded cheese was bagged separately for my to-​go order. The chili sauce had a flavor I couldn’t quite put my finger on… nutmeg? Or maybe cinnamon? Maybe it’s an acquired taste. I couldn’t not stop at Skyline since it was right by my hotel… but I think I should have gone for some hot dogs.

Hick food that is of minimal nutritional value. It’s probably worse than McDonald’s. There is nothing tasty or nutritious about it. The coneys are gross; the sausage is reminiscent of canned Vienna sausage, something that should never be eaten. Moreover, they pile on the cheese… GROSS!
Their 3-​way chili spaghetti is equally disgusting. It’s nothing more than empty calories, and it does not feel very good going down. I feel bad for anyone who subjects their digestive system to this «food.»
Your body is a temple; treat it as such and stay away from this.

Drive Through Review
Large 5 was was plenty for dinner for 2… ordered a cheddar potato for lunch tomorrow.
5 Way Chili — more cinnamon than I remember, but the spaghetti was cooked well, the beans were not mushy, and the cheese was sharp.
Potato — well cooked with the same cheddar as the little shredded bags of joy that come with the chili.
Take out containers — THE WORST EVER… the plastic bag even leaked!!! No holes… the grease seeped out of the seam! Both containers were covered in greasy slime by the time I drove the 5 miles home… even though neither moved a bit. the bag didn’t even twitch on the passenger seat… grrrrr.
