    My family has Ohio roots and we've always eaten chili over spaghetti. Since Skyline started selling canned chili in the grocery store I've been eating it and enjoying it. So was excited to try Skyline chili in one of their restaurants. The chili did not disappoint I really enjoyed it. The only complaint I have was that the plate that the chili was served on was too small for the portion making it sloppy and hard to eat. That said I was not impressed with the restaurant it self. First the sign in the outside of the restaurant was not lit making the restaurant hard to find. I told my server about this and she said the sign has been out for years. Also the restroom had a broken light that made a terrible noise and the restroom needed cleaning. I think the restaurant should address the broken items and freshen up the place some, which would make the dining experience much better.

    I'm so disappointed. I've been eating at this restaurant for over 30 years. Maybe I've never ordered a small 3 way to go before because when I got back to my office I about fell over at how small it was. This container was 4" at the bottom, 5" at the top and 1" deep and this cost me almost $8??? And then to find out that they forgot the cheese. Going to have to rethink this restaurant as a go to.

    We are from Cincinnati. Oh, how the Lambrinides family would be disappointed. This was the worst location we have entered. The restaurant had an unusual odor. Staff was ridiculously slow. They couldn't even bring our food (for just 2 people) at the same time. Orders were left sitting on the counter needlessly. The chili did not taste the same as other locations. It had way too much cinnamon in it. The bathroom looked like it was in a dirty gas station. Roll of towel not attached to anything and the trash can was in the hallway. If I would have seen that first, I wouldn't have eaten there.

    I am from Indiana have been a skyline customer for years. This was the worst one I’ve ever had. Was so excited to find one here I asked if the spaghetti was fresh the mgr told me they make its once a day early in the morning 1st red flag. I ordered a 3 way extra pasta it was the smallest chili I’ve ever had. It was cold she said they steam the cold pasta it was nasty the chili was watered down very watery. Hardly no cheese. The place was old and very outdated. Mgr was rude. Found out the same owner runs Naples as well as Ft.Myers so that sums up me trying the food there. Very disappointed and beware food is not fresh.
