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 choose to get 2 sloppy cheese coneys today. Thats where they make them with buns already in the boxes so the chili runs out the ends. Best to eat with a spoon.

    Store has a serious issue with cleanliness and either employees are not doing their job or they are very short-staffed. Countertops and side seen from the drive-thru window are absolutely disgusting when I was handed my bag of food the bottom of the bag was smeared with chili meat cheese and it ended up getting all over my car. Unacceptable. It takes 2 seconds to wipe a countertop.
