- HLHayden LloydAug 18, 20265.0Very delicious cheeseburger & fries combo. Really fresh vegetables on the burger. Really great tasting. (great sauce) (really great bun) Those were very, very fresh fries. The 2 cheese coneys were superb, very like Goldstar. They are delicious. They’re very nice people. They were friendly. Plus, it’s a brand new-looking building.
- TAThe AwesomestAug 18, 20265.0Great location, always fast and friendly.
- LALarry AdamsAug 15, 20265.0I'm 76 years old and often use a rolling walker to get around. As I don't drive, I ride buses and need to navigate parking lots, but it's worth the effort to get the best Cincinnati style chili in the business. I've been eating Gold Star since I was a young man, first in northern Kentucky, and later in Dry Ridge, Lexington, and Somerset, as well as locations in Ohio and Indiana. My only complaint is that the doors are not really easy to open for entry.
- GGGoof GoodAug 13, 20265.0The young man at the window is very helpful I think his name was taylor. Very kind was able to get it done quickly give that fella a raise
- JTJennifer ThompsonJul 8, 20265.0Ordered through doordash but I got to tell you oh my goodness do I love this gold star. They get it right. Was even a bit of a crazy person called ahead of my order to make sure they didn't forget the extra cheese. I'm going to tell you the kid answering the phone handled this like a seasoned pro at taking requests like it was second nature. The kid was super friendly. Super professional. I am just in all. They seem to hire Amazing people like seriously anytime I've ate in restaurant, They have been absolutely amazing anytime I've ordered at the window, Amazing! And now doordash. This restaurant is amazing.
