About

Fast Food Restaurant
We serve up small batch, Cincinnati-style chili and fresh, hot 100% American beef burgers crafted by hand and made to order. Our chili is cooked in small batches to ensure the quality, flavor and texture are perfect, every time. And the burgers? Well, they really are from flat top grill heaven - juicy, perfectly cooked and even better when topped with our famous chili.

    The food and atmosphere were really good. I gave service 3 stars because the staff member at the register had an attitude when I was telling her my order. She was short with me and I felt disrespect because I asked for a chili spaghetti and she interrupted me and said WE call it a 3 way. I didn’t have time to say “chili, spaghetti and cheese”.

    Please stop drenching the buns before adding the chili. The food tastes great except for the very very soggy buns!8
