    We stopped by the Gold Star Chili on Mount Zion Road for dinner before heading to a Y’alls game and had a great experience. We ordered the chili hamburger platter with fries, the spicy chicken sandwich platter, and two cheese coneys. It was our first time trying both the hamburger and the chicken sandwich — and they were excellent! Fair warning: the spicy chicken sandwich really brings the heat. If you’re not a fan of spice, you might want to go with the regular chicken instead. The side of fries that came with each platter was surprisingly generous — plenty to share or just enjoy yourself! The restaurant was very quiet during our visit, with only one other couple dining in. The space was clean, the atmosphere was calm, and our server was attentive. Food arrived quickly, and everything came out hot and fresh. Our only small note was that the cheese coneys had a bit more mustard than we personally prefer — but that’s just a matter of taste. Overall, this was a great stop for a quick, clean, and convenient meal. If you’re looking to enjoy some Cincinnati-style chili, this location is definitely worth a visit
