Where is ZERO stars? Only plus, waitress was super nice! I was looking forward to trying something new, I had the chilli on spaghetti, wife had classic chilli. Collectively took 2 bites... Horrendous. I've made a 100 gone cooked chili's better than this, I've never tasted chilli this vile... Looks like diarrhea, probably tastes pretty close...

I'm from NKY and we are VERY serious about our chili. You're either Skyline, Gold Star or Dixie. I am Skyline for LIFE! I love the hint of cinnamon and the shredded cheese that no one else can re-create. I have only been to one crappy location where I felt it wasn't very clean, this one on Mall Rd is not that location. Sitting at your booth you're immediately given oyster crackers and asked for your drink request. I like to think of these crispy crackers as my appetizer so to speak. Set myself up with some yummy hot sauce, put a drop right into the cracker. BOOM. Mind blown. Up next....3-way. The heavens open up and a star is born! Delicious noodles, topped with the runny chili and last but NOT least...the cheese. The biggest damn mound of cheese you've ever seen on a plate of chili. And if you're not from NKY the odds you've seen a PLATE of chili are pretty slim. When visiting home I'm always trying to make up for lost time at my favorite restaurants. So while at Skyline, I always try to force at least one coney into my pie hole while I'm eating my 3-way, but I don't love the coney near as much so I tend to only get a bite or two in. For a low cost delicious lunch or dinner this is a great go to in the area. If you haven't been before you must go. To tie myself over I always purchase the cans at Fry's so that I can eat Skyline even living in the desert. Is it just as good as the real thing? No, but it'll do until next time...

I was told not to leave Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky without trying Skyline. It lived up to the promise. I'm by no means a chili connoisseur so feel free to discount my review relative to the locals here, but for a LA boy on business in the Midwest, this was a pretty unique experience. You'll get a lot of food for the price you pay. Ask for Tapatio. Always ask for the Tapatio. Goes well with the crackers. Learned that from a local.

You are all crazy. This tasted like it came out of my asshole. The service however, was excellent. Had a bib put on me in case I spit out the shitty chili, timely service, free peppermint patty to clear up the taste of the food and quick checkout. Recommend going only if you feel like you need a natural laxative. But at least you get a bib!

I just can't love it. Tried the Cheese Coney. It was an average hotdog on a small bun with so much cheese the cheese overwhelmed everything else (and I'm a person who loves cheese). I would recommend them switching to the New England style bun, grilling the bun and using a better quality hot dog. I think then it makes be better. But overall it's cheap and your kids should leave full. Myself I'll pass and try something else.

I grew up with the choice. Had a grandfather that picked Empress Chili. Grew up in a church that had Chili Co. Next door and many around that pick the gold one. My stomach has always said Skyline and when I gave up red meat did not know how to say bye to Skyline. Skyline fixed that with a Vegetarian version of my favorite 3way. Now I think it's better then the original! Vegetarian or not try it! It's wow good.

I've lived in Cincy & NKY my whole life and everyone around here likes their own different type of chili. Well mine is and always will be Skyline Chili. Some say it is more runny than others which I don't completely disagree with, but it still tastes better than all others. When I do visit this location I usually go through the drive through. The building is a little weird in you must drive around it once to go thru the drive thru, then go around it again after paying to safely get to the exit. The staff is always nice and helpful. Good spot to stop at!

Every time we come through Cincinnati we must stop at skyline! Delicious goodness that brings back lots of fond memories... again, excellent!

This is far from fancy food, but it's one of those "must try" things in the area. I had the 3-way (who knew I could post that in a review without raising eyebrows?), it wasn't bad, but wasn't something I'd be itching to have again either. The server was very nice, so extra points for that.

I love Skyline on Mall Road. I haven't once had bad service at this location. The chili is exactly what you expect it to be, that Cincinnati-style flavor that you know and love if you've lived here long enough (and I've lived here 25 years...my whole life), and you cannot find a better chilito. Even Taco Bell's chili cheese burritos pale in comparison (and I like those, too). The location is just big enough that you know you're at a Skyline, yet small enough that if you go often enough you're recognized as a regular. I guess that's why I go to this one over the Turfway or Industrial Road locations (despite living equally close to all three). In short, if you're looking for the best Chilito in the Tri-State, Skyline is where it's at, and for my money, the Mall Road location has the best one out of all of the Skylines I've been to.

We love this skyline! They are so friendly. The servers remember your favorites, even if it has been sometime since you were last in. Every skyline has its own taste and this one gets it right. We love extra mustard. :)
