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.

    513 Fence was in the neighborhood building a wood fence, so we stopped in gold star chili to get a quick lunch. As always, quick service and good food for a good price.

    I drove over an hour out of my way to try this location, and unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from the moment I walked in. The restaurant was empty, and the employees were sitting at the counter. As soon as I walked in, one of them (still sitting down) asked, “Can I help you?” I said I was going to use the restroom, and she immediately responded, “We don’t have public restrooms,” without even knowing if I was a paying customer. I explained that I was planning to order food, and only then did she say, “Okay, go ahead.” At that point, I decided not to stay. I just turned around and left — and I’m now happily driving 30 minutes to the next closest Gold Star Chili. It’s unfortunate because I actually planned to feature this location on my TikTok platform, but that kind of attitude turned me away. A simple “Are you dining with us today?” would have gone a long way instead of assuming. Not a great first impression, and I won’t be returning.
