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.

    I got a small three-way that's not even as big as a pack of cigarettes for $7 it's not even enough to be considered a kiddy portion

    I’ve been going to Goldstar since I was a teenager back in the 70s. And I’ll tell you what, I’ve never, ever had a bad experience at a gold star. The food is always quite excellent and the service is always great too.
