Frequently asked questions about Skyline Chili
Skyline Chili Sunrise Reviews
If you have ever visited Ohio especially Cincinnati; you are familiar with Skyline Chili!! It is a unique tasting chili that is served as a Cheese Coney, 3 Way, 4 Way etc. When I found out Skyline Chili has a location in South Florida, I was thrilled. It is located at the end of a small shopping plaza. When you walk in, it feels like a diner but very nostalgic to the locations in Cincinnati. The hometown feel was evident because the staff and waitresses knew people by their name and food order. The best part is the chili tastes exactly the same from when I had it many years ago. If you love chili, you owe it to yourself to try Skyline.
Simply the best restaurant staff I have ever seen. The place was packed, and the manager seemed to know half the people in the restaurant by their first names. That must mean this place has quite the crowd of regulars. I'm from out of state, so I'm not 100% sure about that, but what I am sure about is that I lived 12 years in the southwest Ohio area (Dayton & Cincinnati) and this is the best-run Skyline I've ever been to. And I LOVE Skyline, so I've been to a lot! I was so glad to find it here in Florida and to find it so well-run!
First off the chili cheese dogs and chili cheese fries were exactly what you want when you’re craving something cheesy, saucy, and over-the-top delicious. Total flavor bomb. We also tried the chicken bacon ranch wrap too it was a surprise standout! Fresh, fried juicy chicken, crispy bacon, cool ranch, all wrapped up perfectly. It was the perfect balance to the chili-loaded goodness.The service was awesome friendly, fast, and they made us feel right at home. Whether you’re in the mood for diner classics or just need a solid, satisfying meal, Skyline Diner totally delivers. Excited for the next visit.
First time having Cincinnati Chili and it was delicious. The owner brought a sample before we ordered just in case it wasn't to our liking.
Great skyline location. good food as usual. the manager lady is really nice, she gave me and my family free funnel cake! I’ll come back soon :)
Was so happy to find a skyline chili in Florida! Friendly people with great food. I’m coming here every time in Ft. Lauderdale!
Good, indulgent food and fast service. I placed a to-go order and it was ready in less than five minutes. I tried the cheese coney, chili cheese sandwich, and funnel fries. I really liked the cheese coney and funnel fries. They were very generous with the powdered sugar on the fries! I had them all at once even though I was trying to save some for later. I didn’t like the chili cheese sandwich. I’m particular about food texture so I didn’t enjoy the sogginess. I also thought it would have been a hit dog with chili topping and cheese but that was on me for assuming. Another thing I noticed was a random $1 charge for tax on my receipt, which was not mentioned anywhere. I also had to ask for a receipt and the cashier seemed reluctant to provide it. Overall, the food and service are great. I’d definitely stop in for another treat.
Such nice people working there and you get your food fast. So good. Def going back
We had an amazing first experience at Skyline Chili When we mentioned it was our first time there, the friendly manager surprised us with free sample-sized bowls of their famous chili spaghetti, which was such a nice touch. Our waitress checked on us often, and the food was absolutely delicious. The staff made us feel so welcome and really went above and beyond. Highly recommend this place for the great service and great food!
Skyline Chili is always a treat when I am in the neighborhood. Pro tip, get the chili bib and save your shirt!!! I went for 3 chili cheese dogs & a large 4 way chili that I just couldn’t conquer. The staff & owners are always attentive and having fun. Great lunch.
So thrilled that Southern Florida has Cincinnati’s Skyline restaurant! The owners and their employees are friendly and it’s nice to bump into other Ohioan. My wife always have their chili fries and I have my large 3-way chili w mountains of cheese!!!!! Also we buy a pack of canned chili to make at home since we live over an hour away from the restaurant. When we run out, we make the trip down to eat and pick up more cans.
Best place to eat chili Jen and Tony are amazing you will be treated like a part of the family, amazing food, amazing service, If you haven’t try this place you are missing out
Small 4 way w/ onions juicy , 2 cheese coneys all the way. Authentic tic Cincinnati style chili.
Great Diner atmosphere- neighbirhood sort. Great hotdgs and chili .. Everyone friendly, fast service! Thx
First time here and had a great time. atmosphere was relaxing, food came out quick, hot and delicious. Manager lady and employees were incredibly nice. Skyline Spaghetti was a suggestion given to us and we’re glad it was.
Excellent food and they are very friendly! Just like being in Cincinnati!!!
My friend and I are both from Cincinnati so we eat skyline extremely often it’s one of our favorite things. We recently vacationed to Fort Lauderdale Florida and we were craving skyline halfway into the week so we decided to take a 20 minute trip up to sunrise Florida Skyline Chili. To be honest, this was WAY better than most of the skyline that we eat in Cincinnati. Tasted super fresh & was immediate. The ladies who work here were fantastic and super personable. 10/10 would recommend this location for anybody craving or wanting to try skyline chili!
The best chili cheese coneys around. Also try the five-way. A. Midwestern delicacy.
I have been coming to skyline for about a year as it is close to a hobby shop I frequent. The food is great I always order like 2-3 coney dogs all the way and have been addicted since my first visit. Their 5 way is also really good and I think the whole menu is amazing. The staff who run the store is so nice and makes you feel so welcome and to me the hospitality goes a long way. If you are in the area and are reading this and love chili dogs or just chili in general do yourself a favor and stop by.
Food is excellent staff are friendly and it is affordable
This place reminds me of home. I grew up in Ohio eating skyline chili at least once a week.. I almost peed my pants when I saw this skyline. The food is just as I remember... I love the chili spaghetti and the coney dogs. And the best bbq chip around . Grippos.. so satisfying.. and the staff.. can't say enough about them.. attentive kind genuine and fast. They've never disappointed us.. I'm in there at least once a week... I highly recommend this place not just for the food but the service as well.
Been coming here for like 5 years. The staff the owners and the food is amazing. Highly recommended.
This place is great. My wife and I have been here a couple of times and they welcome you and let you know to have a seat anywhere we like and the food was just good comfort food and the sweet tea is real good. I can really appreciate the old fashioned great customer service of the people remembering us after just the second time there and atmosphere not to mention the American flag waving along with the military support. Coming to skyline really takes me back to a better time and I am glad I live close enough to enjoy it on occasions. Before paying I went to the owner to let him know how amazing he is running he’s business and he shook my hand letting me know he appreciated the kind words. It might seem like a long review for a small restaurant like this but it’s those little things that leaves me with such a big impression.
We've been going there for over 25 years. Always awesome
This is the best place in all of Broward county bar none to have an excellent dinner and friendly service
This Skyline takes the triple crown: great food, great prices, and great service. It's the epitome of what makes America great. 10/10 would recommend.
Being away from home (Cincinnati)for so long this Skyline was a welcomed sight! True to Skyline fashion. Welcoming and great food!
You either love it or you hate it... I luh luh love it!! I've been coming here for years! I met the owner Jen back in Ft. Lauderdale 20+ years ago when she was a waitress! It's been a little minute since I was able to make it to Sunrise where their Skyline is as I lived there and I brought my kids there as babies. If you're thinking Texas chili this is absolutely not it! Consider it a Cincinnati spaghetti and hotdog sliders with tons of cheddar cheese crackers and hot sauce, you'll love it!!! It's not chili it's different!!! Keep an open mind and absolutely check it out!!! You're welcome!!! P,S. Hi Jen!!!
If you haven't tried skyline Chili your missing out on a Cincinnati Iconic restaurant serving unique chili.. A MUST !! YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED
The restaurant is known for its signature dish, the "Cincinnati-style" chili, which is a meaty chili sauce that is slightly sweet with a distinct hint of cinnamon and is served on top of spaghetti or hot dogs. I am a huge fan of chili dogs, so I had to try Skyline's chili dogs. The chili dog at Skyline is a classic all-beef hot dog served on a soft bun with a heaping pile of their famous chili sauce and a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese. The combination of the savory hot dog, the slightly sweet chili sauce, and the sharp cheddar cheese is simply mouth-watering. The chili itself is what makes Skyline's chili dogs so unique. The sauce has a thinner consistency than traditional chili we are use to in the south and it is packed with a blend of spices that give it a slightly sweet and tangy flavor. The cheese is one of the best parts of the dish. Cheese really makes everything better no matter of how good it already is. Skyline uses a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese, which melts perfectly into the chili sauce, creating a creamy and indulgent topping for the hot dog. Skyline is a must-try for anyone in this area! The combination of the sweet and savory chili sauce with the sharp cheddar cheese is a match made in heaven, and the all-beef hot dog is a perfect vessel for this delicious concoction. If you're a fan of chili dogs or just looking for a unique and tasty food experience, Skyline Chili is definitely worth a visit.
This is the only Skyline we have in Fort Lauderdale. The main stores are in Cincinnati. This Chili has chocolate and cinnamon. Sounds awful out these ingredients aspect you. Some of the dishes are Chili cheese sandwiches, 2 way chili and spaghetti, 3 way chili, cheese chili and spaghetti, 4 way Chili, Spaghetti cheese and onions. 5 way , Chili, Spaghetti cheese and onions and beans Much more on the menu. Skyline Chili started in 1949, founded by Nicholas Lambrinides, a Greek immigrant. The story began when Nicholas brought his family recipes to the United States and settled in Cincinnati, Ohio. Drawing from his Greek heritage, he developed a unique blend of Mediterranean spices to create what would become Skyline’s famous chili recipe. The first Skyline Chili restaurant opened on Price Hill, a neighborhood in Cincinnati, with a view of the city’s skyline, which inspired the name. Initially, Nicholas served his chili over spaghetti or hot dogs, creating the now-iconic dishes "3-Way" (chili, spaghetti, and cheese) and "Cheese Coney" (a hot dog topped with chili, mustard, onions, and a mound of shredded cheese). These distinctive combinations became popular because they weren’t your typical American chili; the flavors were different, thanks to the blend of cinnamon, cloves, and other spices. Skyline Chili grew rapidly, establishing itself as a Cincinnati staple. It gained a loyal following, and its menu became synonymous with Cincinnati-style chili, which is a unique regional twist on traditional chili. Over the decades, Skyline expanded throughout Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, while still maintaining its family-run roots. To this day, Skyline Chili remains a cultural icon, representing both Cincinnati and Nicholas Lambrinides' passion for sharing his Greek-inspired food with America.
Exactly like the Skyline back home in Cincinnati! Fantastic service. Friendly staff. Was definitely worth the hour drive to get a taste of home!!!
The last one in south florida! This place is an absolute gem! You have to try their coneys they come loaded with cheese and so is their 5-way spaghetti that has the best chili in the world and topped with a mound of shredded cheddar cheese. Did I mention the cheese? Also, as soon as you come in you’re always greeted by the nicest people in the world. They really make you feel like you’re at home. Bring everyone you can tell them to bring people too.
This is my first time having Skyline outside of the Cincinnati area and it was great! I’ve gone twice with my boyfriend who is new to Skyline and loves it now. The service was great and the staff were extremely kind both times. I used to work at Skyline back in Kentucky so I was impressed to see that everything was conducted the same way as it is in Cincinnati. The food was just as good as at home!
It had been many years that I went to Skyline up in Indiana. For my kid it was the first time. We instantly fell in love with the casual and super friendly welcoming environment. For that alone, the food tasted even better! Definitely will come back. This will be our go to spot in this area from now on.
Sit down, fast food vibe. Cincinnati style chili at its best. Limited options on menu but that is by design.
Foods amazing -- folks who run the place and take care of you are even better!
Great signature spaghetti with lovely staff and atmosphere. We were greeted so warmly and taken care of by super friendly staff. The food tasted as it should, nice and spiced all in a nice diner style setting. Can't wait to return.
Wow! We had a great time! The human who drives us around said the Coney Island would be completely hidden by shredded cheese, and that was no exaggeration. Our whiskers will taste great for weeks! Although we’re going to keep visiting as many restaurants as we can, we’ll definitely come back to Skyline ASAP. BTW, we never did eat the asparagus we brought with us. Yetta and Stuart
Just as good as i remembered it to be. I haven't been here in years! The service was fantastic. I had the baked potato with chesse, chili cheese fries & the boy had spaghetti, a chili cheese dog & some of the fries. He thought he was full until the funnel fries arrived.-sorry no picture. The sweet tea is great!! Not too sweet at all.
This has been one of my favorite places to go since I started at the Lauderhill Police Department!!! I've loved the Coney's here since day one...everything is always fresh and hot! Just try a few dogs and some fries anyway you want them....you won't be disappointed!!! Just a quick update....the food is still really great, the service is always quick and friendly. This place is like stepping back to my early days at the Hill....stopping in between calls and leaving with a full belly! Be safe all.
Being from Cincinnati and living in CA, I was craving the taste of Skyline. The location I went to was in Florida,however the food and atmosphere were the same. The owners happened to be from Cincinnati.
Very professional and friendly service. They remember each Customers name and order. Food is always excellent 👍👍 fast service 😀❤️
Very tasty food, and a very different experience. A wierd hybrid of quick restaurant and fast to go food. I dined in, I wasn't sure if I was supposed to tip or not. I left 3$ for a 13$ bill. Very unique experience. The chili is amazing. I got it on top of spaghetti. The spices stayed with me for hours. Very good. The staff knew people's names and orders when they walked in! Very cool spot. The chili is AWESOME
The people were very nice. Didnt have to wait very long for the food. Food was on point. We heard the lady tell the cook what we ordered. Very clean. Very good manners. Affordable for a couples date night idea.
We love eating at Skyline Chili. The service is great and the food delicious! Their funnel fries are the best! And we always appreciate the York mint chocolate at the end. 🙂
I love this chili! We get it every time we come to florida. It is to die for. It's not like any chili you've ever had, but it's super delicious! The service here was top-notch! We were very well taken care of and checked in with frequently. 3 stars for the atmosphere has nothing to do with how cleanly it is, it's just that it's very small and the tables are pretty close together. They are constantly cleaning.
Ive been coming here for years. The owners know everyone by name. They take pride in their restaurant. The food and service is always amazing. I come here as often as I am in the area. Amazing family operated business
Not more to say other than 100%on all food is the bomb! Omg the large s spaghetti, what do chillion, cheddar cheese? Oh, my, it's double delicious. Staff pleasant. Atmosphere pleasant ..and oh no beggers....love there meal. Bless Skyline chilli
Buen lugar para ir a comer típico americano.. El chili super bueno el ambiente la atención exelente.. Recomendado
Excelentes spaghetti con Chili y muuuuucho queso!
Atención inmediata y excelente comida
Delicioso!
Cozy lil spot! Hot dogs are small, but they are good! Soft bun, chili with or without beans, onions and a whole heap of shredded cheese! Service was top tier, we dined in. Upon learning it was our first time there, the hosts gave us a chili spaghetti on the house. Would highly recommend this place and I look forward to returning.
Skyline restaurants aren’t ever known for their atmosphere/looks inside the restaurant but they are well known for their food and great service. I took my grandmother because she grew up in Ohio, eating Skyline Chili. She was absolutely delighted and had a smile on her face all day. The service was absolutely GREAT! We will be back for the Midwest cravings..😋
Quick service friendly staff If you have never tried Cincinnati Chili you need to come by this place
Friday night dinner around 7pm Pretty full dining areas (there are 2) Our first time there but it feels like everyone else is a regular Quick service for drinks We had to ask for a menu since it’s been awhile since we were at the other location in Ft Lauderdale that has since closed down Food came out fast & is made right there behind the counter Kids loved their hot dogs & p’schetti My daughter says the chili is sweet? Funnel cake fries were a sweet finish Nothing healthy about this but it’s so good
The food and staff were really nice and service was great. It's a great place for chili hot dogs.
Acquired taste for sure, but a really good one. Famous for their cinnamon and cocoa based chili, you gotta try it to know. This didn't seem to take off down here, except in the 90's but the demographic has changed drastically since then. Even the best pizzerias are having a hard time keeping their doors open.
The employees were very nice , the lady who seemed like a manager had good customer service with us. When she first approached the table I was talking about how I was reading the history and she kind of cut me off to explain how the menu works but it was no big deal maybe she was in a rush. Bus boy was very nice. Food came out super quick! This chili is originally from Greece so it is pretty interesting tasting but I liked it! I'm usually not a fan of lots of cheese (cuz it sure looks like it ) but it actually complimented it perfectly it's thin and melts with the food very nicely. My friend said his chili bowl was kinda soupy but overall good especially with the onion in it. Then they gave us two small peppermint paddies which made me very happy so thank you!
A nostalgic staple from home for this Ohio born Floridian. Best coneys on the planet and the staff couldn't be nicer. Love to sit at the counter and watch everyone interact. The owners know everyone that comes through the door, and that's something that's lacking in most other restaurants, can't beat that family feel.
After hearing about this place for years, we finally decided to make the drive down. Staff was very friendly and food came out fast, hot and as ordered. Overall, we found the cheese to be bland and not very flavorful. The chili also had nutmeg or cinnamon that neither of us cared for very much. I think if it was regular chili it would have been much better in my opinion, but I also understand that's what sets this place apart and has kept them in business for so long. The fries were our favorite part. Thin and crispy. It was interesting and I'm glad we went.
I ordered the Coney and Chilli Cheese Fries as a first time at the restaurant. I didnt really like the Coney as it was a bit too soggy. The Chilli Cheese Fries weren’t bad there was just way too much cheese and couldn’t really taste the chilli. But otherwise it was okay for my first and last time.
To be honest, the chili was very runny, like watered down. And the small hot dog was like a sausage link. You used to get back in the day very small . Surprising. I found it with all the cheese .and it was disappointing because I used to love going there to eat. Don't know what happened, maybe someone just didn't know how to do the chili, right. And they're trying to definitely save money on the hot dogs and giving lots and lots of cheese. And the chili fries were soggy in the bottom.That's not good Sorry I couldn't give a better review. Please do something about your chili. It puts two strikes against you with a little, tiny hot dogs. I understand why it was only 3. something. But some people would rather pay full price and have a hot dog with chili onion and cheese and tastes good. Something just to think about. This is just my opinion.
Chili wasn’t great and $15 for a small bowl was a shocker. Wendy’s chili is better. Dogs are tiny. Mostly just cheese. Staff and atmosphere was great. Not really sure why this place has such a high following
Had the chilli burrito,it was mainly cheese barely any chilli,would not eat it again
Tiene una comida muy rica y de los postres ni hablar, exquisitos!
