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 had a great experience at this location on Veterans Day. I got a free meal and the burger and fries were amazing and service was top notch. Thank you so much .

    Double cheeseburger and fries was really good, as always. Have come to this location many times, and the service is excellent every time. I wish the guy I paid tonight had his name on the receipt (just says Cashier), because he was very efficient, accurate and personable.

    Went through drive thru asked for the combo with three cheese coneys with firehouse cheese. Then asked for one extra cheese coney with mustard and onions. I got two chili cheese sandwiches and two REGULAR cheese coneys. But paid for the spicy cheese coneys. They were not busy either. I come up here once a week and we usually eat at a different restaurant each time. When we came through the drive thru they didn’t say welcome to gold star how may I help you. Instead I got greeted with what can I get you?
