This is a pretty standard Skyline location-or what I've come to expect of Skyline outside of the urban core. I brought some out-of-town visitors here because they were staying close by (I know, right?!). I was pleased with our friendly server who was patient with my guests as they needed time to read the full menu and understand the lingo-while reviewing, she even offered to bring them a sample of the chili so that they knew what it was and if they liked it before ordering-that is the first time that's happened in my Skyline experiences, so an extra star for that.

Classic Cincinnati style chili. One of the better locations as far as service and experience. The cheese they use for their coneys and 3 ways is amazing! Especially ever since they added extreme cheese to the menu. If your looking to add a little spice and great flavor I highly recommend it! I typically get an all chili burrito with onion and extreme cheese, it's my burrito away from chipotle :).

Nothing is better than Skyline. This is the Skyline I come to most often when I visit Cincinnati. I usually stick to a regular size 3-way with a water. If you haven't been to Skyline or are not from the Ohio area I would say the Skyline dining experience is similar to that of Steak and Shake. I have gotten a coney a chilito as well as a few other things. Most of the menu items are the same with a pile of chili and cheese plopped no top of your meal. When you're finished you pay up front and you're on your way.

After watching about Cincinnati Style Chili on various food and travel shows I was excited to try it. It looked interesting. With so many locations I figured it must be good. Maybe it is because I am not originally from here. I do not understand Cincinnati Style Chili. It tastes like a child was trying to "help," and poured a bunch of seasonings that don't belong right in it. It is a strange science experiment. Not only does it have a strange taste, but a strange "bite" to it. It's not that it's too spicy. Every bite tastes like that moment after a meal when heartburn comes back up. If you do like this style of chili, more power to you. On a positive note, certain days they have kids eat free.

This isn't my favorite location, but it's the most convenient for me so I spend a lot of time here. My fb and I go to Skyline AT LEAST once a week. The service here is pretty good, and the store is generally clean. Some locations are kinda lousy, but this one hits the mark! And obviously the food is delicious ;)

Skyline Chili has some of the best chili mac I've ever had. Compared to some other chili mac I've had, Skyline's could absolutely kill you with the amount of cheese piled atop the chili (not that that's a bad thing)! I think there may have actually been more cheese than meat at one point. That said, their Cincinnati Style chili was amazing, and the chili was very affordable as well. A must visit if you're in the area!

SKYLINE! Ahem. Sorry I get really excited when I see the logo and pictures of their food. You see I'm a born Cincinnatian, and we just have something in our blood or perhaps a gene that predisposes us to these delectable delights. I've was brought up eating at the various Skyline locations in Cincinnati with Dent, Bridgetown, and Glenway being the most frequent. Now however, I do have the pleasure of having the Bethel Skyline less than 5 minutes away. This is of course great. Though if I ever lose the my self control (or some would say semblance of) it is likely that this would cause my health to take a nose dive. But man would I die happy. I have to admit, and this will sound strange, but eating Skyline up here while excellent doesn't have the same je ne sais quoi that it does in Cincinnati. I have at times made the claim that it tastes a little different but perhaps I'm just being a Skyline snob and should just shut up and enjoy the magic. It's also possible that my parents have brain washed me into thinking this so I'll visit more often. Also if you get to this review and you are reading it deciding whether or not to give Skyline a try... Get in your car now. Just go. Ignore any reviews claiming mediocrity. Do not be dissuaded from trying the apotheosis of fast food.

Best skyline I've been to on the westside. Friendly waitress and quick service. I will be back! Worth the 15 min drive past 2 other skylines for sure.

I stopped in here with two of my boys. Even though it was busy the staff was friendly and fast. They seemed to bee keeping up with keeping the tables and dining area clean. Our server was very attentive and even joked around with us some. It was a very pleasant experience.

If you are from, related to or have ever been to Cincinnati, then you know that you have to have Skyline and you know you will love it. There is no question about that. Skyline is a local favorite providing you with 3/4/5 way chili in a variety of different styles to palpitate your taste buds. This location is exceptionally clean, well kept, friendly staff, fair amount of seating and overall a great experience for this style of food. Yes it is considered fast food, however they do provide you with a number of different menu options to cater to your needs. They also have a few vegetarian options for those that do not eat meat. I have my personal two favorites, the 4 way coney and 4 way spaghetti juicy. It's the perfect amount of food to satisfy that chili and cheese craving that comes from time to time. The service is quick and nice, they provide you with an open air kitchen so you can see everything that goes on in food preparation and they do offer local high school students the opportunity to work after school to keep them on the positive track.

Love me some Skyline. I eat it at least once a week... sometimes twice. So I've tried every location in the city and even in other cities. This location just doesn't seem to do the cheese conies right. Something tastes amiss. I think the onions here taste really weird like they are super raw or extra pungent or something. Anyway it changes the whole flavo of the food in my opinion and I wish they would fix that here.

A local icon since 1949, Skyline Chili serves up it's venerable Coney's, 3/4/5 Way's and some new twists on its chili recipes in a diner atmosphere that hearkens back to its early days. A greasy spoon that has managed to spread like wildfire while maintaining its quality and appeal, Skyline is a regular stop whenever I visit Cincinnati. (And yes, I get an occasional fix at Kroger between visits). The Dent location is relatively new and very clean, but still has diner-style seating on one side, and fully visible kitchen with counter on the other side. Tables in the middle of the room are built into the floor, so sliding them together is not an option. Lots of families and slightly tight seating make for a not particularly relaxing experience, but somehow, that's all part of the experience. The servers are attractive young women that do a very good job. Service is fast and the food is simply perfect. Chili 101: Skyline Chili is Cincinnati style, meaning that the ground beef is broken up extremely fine, the seasoning is a distinctive and addictive nutmeg/cinnamon/allspice flavor as opposed to lots of chili powder and cumin, and the consistency is much more liquid than meat, making it more of a topping than a main course. Traditional options include Coney's (short hot dogs on steamed buns with mustard, onion and shredded cheese) and 3/4/5 ways (spaghetti with chili, beans and optional onions and cheese). The simple preparations and repurposing of one main ingredent would go perfectly on a food truck. Later additions include things like burritoes, chili with beans, and variations like habanero cheese. The food is absolutely delicious, the history and tradition are completely tied up with the region, and it would be a terrible loss if they were to disappear. Skyline is not just a diner chain slinging chili; they are a treasure that needs to be appreciated and preserved.

For what it is - fast food - it's OK. I was shocked that there were actually a couple of vegetarian items available, although I don't trust that they are entirely vegetarian as I recall a distinct bacon flavor. I found the photos of the spaghetti with chili on top to be somewhat nauseating, but who knows, it could be good.

I am sad that not everyone reviews Skyline here. Not that there is much to be said other than AWESOME. Cheese coneys and 3 ways are where it's at. So good, so fast. Those new Skyline rollup things are pretty good too, it's like Skyline and cheese in a tortilla. Yum!

Skyline is everywhere but generally speaking brand is not known for cleanliness on west side of Cincinnati. However this location is spotless! Not only is it spotless, food comes out lightening fast, servers are always right there for you. Great food, great people, must be owned by someone who cares!

Tuesdays are the best here. Skyline is everywhere but I think this one has the best servers. Chili and vegetarian mix seems more like the old days.
Sorry, Store hours have not been updated. If you are the owner of this restaurants. Please update the store hours.
