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.

    My wife placed a GrubHub order for a 5 way. They did not include the cheese nor the onions. She called to let them know and said to let them know on the next order and they would replace it free. Well I called and the guy said he had no record and basically I was out of luck. Mistakes happen, but don't make promises. I went to the Skyline Chili on Richmond Road afterwards and after I ordered I mentioned what happened and even though it was their competitor she comped 1 of my 5 ways. That is customer service. Gold Star needs to learn it.

    Nice staff and great tasting food, but the portions are ridiculously small for how much things cost. The chili dogs are about the size of a Vienna sausage.
