It was very good, for a 1st-timer. I liked the coney dog better, but the chili 4-way was good. It was thinner chili than I am used to, but I did like the spices in it - they are not expected. Not too hot, just different!

I totally get what all the fuss is about. Tried their 5 ways, hotdog and local beer - all of them were amazing! Pasta was a bit cold, other than than flawless food and great experience. The waitress was extremely friendly, pleasant and helpful. Thank you for great lunch!

Skyline is the archetype of Cincinnati chili. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. At this location, the restaurant was very clean and bright, service was quick and friendly even though they were busy, and, of course, the food was great. I had the small 5 way and a chili cheese coney, which was a large meal, but worth it.

Decided to go ahead and try this place after reading the reviews. I was impressed hot dogs are simple chili has good flavor and the extreme habanero cheese had good spice. They load the cheese on all items that include it. I would def eat here again if I’m ever around a area that has one

Went to the downtown location, and had Ryan as a server. He was probably one of the best servers I've ever had! Friendly, helpful, funny and overall a great person! He sang to me for my birthday and I got a piece of blueberry cheesecake out of it! The food was top notch, as always! Thanks for the great service, Ryan! Keep up the good work!
