    Excellent as always never been to this location. There is private parking around the side, free of charge. They parking lot people will give you a black plastic piece which needs to be exchanged inside for a white one and parking is free. Thought that was pretty cool.

    Ask anyone in Cincinnati what makes the chili here famous and you will here Skyline. After being told by literally everyone I asked, my son and I sought out the location that was most recommended in the Clifton area on Ludlow. I am glad we made this a stop on our trip. The staff greets you as soon as you walk in the door and everyone here is serving up the dishes that Skyline is famous for with genuine smiles. The chili is not the same as you get in Nebraska and (this a Lincoln, Ne thing) there are no cinnamon rolls in sight. With that being said the food is everything we were told it would be. DELICIOUS! If you are traveling through Cincinnati make sure to stop in and try it for yourself. You'll be glad you did.

    Quick fast and friendly service at this location. Surprised this to be the oldest skyline chili location still standing. Authentic Skyline Chili taste. Generous size for a good price. I enjoyed the coney’s topped with the cheese.

    It's where I go when I'm drunk at 1AM and when I'm out with my dad. Also the location is Iconic!

    You can’t say you’ve been to Cincinnati until you’ve sat at a Skyline counter. The 3 Way is absolute perfection, there’s something about that secret recipe chili with its hints of cinnamon and chocolate that just hits differently. The cheese is always perfectly shredded and piled high, and the service is lightning fast. Don’t forget to load up your oyster crackers with their signature hot sauce while you wait. It’s the ultimate comfort food and a Queen City icon for a reason!
