Awesome place staff is great, food has been consistent, always good! They have one of the best burgers around! I go every Sunday and sometimes a few days during the week. Always great service and food!

Great traditional Cincinnati chili options. We had cheese copies and three ways, all delicious. The restaurant was clean and service was friendly and prompt.

Came here with my vegan Fiancee and after eating here and us getting a veggie 5 way for her and a normal 4 way for me, it's safe to say this was a great experience. The place felt homey, the food was hot and it's awesome seeing a place with great vegetarian chili, that I can finally enjoy a good chili meal with my fiancee. Our server Elijah was great, super nice and never let us run out of drinks. I love the hot sauce as it has a great kick and is better than most restaurant hot sauces. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be back!

I like gold star. I do not like mustard or an avalanche of raw onions, and this one never messes it up. That's more than I can say about most of the other ones, but I forgive the others considering their pay is likely terrible. It's why you can't be mad at the workers at every taco bell being horrendous, you get what you (don't really) pay for. This one is decent though, I would even say good. They don't skimp on the extra cheese which is important. No more mountain dew though, which has only ever tasted good from the gold star fountains. Stuff in the bottle is toxic waste. Last one was the mountain dew, but it's not your fault. Corrected that.
