I love their food! If you like a Reuben sandwich, you'll love theirs. Cooked perfectly, moist, great sauerkraut and dressing. Everything was well balanced and the rye bread was delicious!! Our service was fast. I was with a couple of friends who also raved about their food. Everything came out together and hot. Our server was knowledgable about the menu and was very pleasant despite being super busy. The restaurant itself was very clean, and this is something I notice. I will be going back. read more

Ample parking, I've never been to the new store as I used to work down the street and frequent the prior location that's now been leveled. I like this store even though it's in a mini mall shopping area. This store is way more open, tables are comfy and the bathroom is way better. Crew that's working here are all super nice. Our server was very attentive but it seemed like two or three other folks would drop by ask if we needed refills, dishes taken & or additional food? One of our kids told me to try the fried pickle coney? Yep, it's a thing here. I did and I tell you what, if you love all things pickle and pickle chips, you need to try this. It was incredibly tasty. Kudos to whomever brought this item to the menu. The normal coney was okay as I am a snob for another establishment but I'll for sure be back for the pickle coney! I'll bring my pickle loving friends. read more

Blue Ash Chili is always a welcome meal and I've never had a bad meal or service at either location. Saturday we were at the Blue Ash location and although it was busy we were pleased with the service and the food. I had a 5 way and my wife and I had a Reuben. They came out in a timely manner despite all of the tables nearly occupied Great experience as always! read more

The food is always wonderful and Christina is always a joy.I would definitely recommend for your next dining experience.

We have now used Blue Ash Chili Food truck twice for our backyard parties and they are the star of the show. Not only is the food FANTASTIC but they are simply wonderful to work with start to finish. I will hire them for every party!! Highly recommend, they will take such good care of your guests. read more

Expensive as hell for most offerings but always a great meal. The fried jalapeños are amazing! Don't go as often because of the cost. However I've never had a bad meal or experience here. Glad they moved and what a better setup anyways. read more

Great place for Cincinnati chili. The place has expanded significantly since the last visit. I ordered 3way and my partner ordered 5 way with Cincinnati jalapeño caps--very yummy!! We got the delicious pretzel with 3 dips. Pretzel was huge and one of the best German, authentic, pretzels I have had in awhile. Chili was yummy and tasted wonderful. Dessert was a hit with crème brûlée cheesecake, pumpkin cheesecake, and baklava. The baklava was dense and heavier than normal, you should definitely have them heat it up because it's not as good cold. Service is slow, wait staff slow, but bus boy-Juan was fast at clearing tables and keeping tables clean. Ambiance was terrific, but only one bathroom for ladies is a sure downside if you have to go bad? Also, seating takes awhile, but I did like the in/out experience on a nice day, the windows were pulled up. If you have plenty of time and not in a rush, this is a great place to sit and dine. Otherwise, I would pick up and go due to limited seating and bathrooms. Definitely recommend Blue Ash over skyline and gold star. Eat up and enjoy! read more

After a dozen visits here and four other chili joints, we can confidently declare Blue Ash the best Cincinnati area chili. They have a spacious dining area with booths, tables or a counter with a few seats. Of course you could always get it to-go. All the servers bend over backwards to guarantee your satisfaction and the food is outstanding. I am working on trying everything on their menu. Twelve items in, I can say with all honesty everything's been great. READY FOR A CHALLENGE? They start with two and one half pounds of spaghetti, another two and one half pounds of their house chili, top that with two pounds of shredded cheddar and one pound of jalapeño caps. You now have EIGHT POUNDS of yumminess and sixty minutes to finish it. Complete the challenge and it's FREE! You also get a t-shirt and a nod in their hall of fame. Should you fail, you go in the hall of shame and you get the tab; that'll be $49.99 + tax. Wow! The restrooms here are clean; the parking lot is vast. Breakfast, lunch and dinner served six days a week. This is Cincinnati's best. 01/22 read more

Blue Ash Chili - 6 way and a Bud! The jalapeno bottlecaps were a great addition! - Burgers Near Me - Blue Ash, Ohio

Service was great. Not a comfortable atmosphere. An old diner without a pleasant feel. Hard to explain. Not dirty but just didn't look well kept. Tried the food to compare to Slyline and GoldStar - home cooked Cincinnati chile is the way to go. Very little flavor in the chile. Happy we went we will not go back. It's not for us. read more

Decided to treat myself to a Deli sandwich. Based on a suggestion from my brother I ordered take out. Had a Tate for pastrami and was pleasantly surprised by the fact that they made double deckers. Eryn and Tabby were my order takers extroidinaire...the customer service matches the sandwiches. Anything is mostly doable with the exception of dill pickle spears. I ordered 3 double deckers Bacon, Ham and Turkey and of course Pastrami. They were delicious and I was unable to eat the whole sandwich. I had to cut it into fours, and didn't finish it that day. Definitely requires a second visit. read more

My partner's family was visiting from out of town so we headed to Blue Ash Chili for the Cincinnati staple. We were a big group of 10 people and they easily seated all of us on a Saturday night. I ordered the 6-way with fried bottle caps (fried jalapenos) and while it was a heart attack on a plate, it was indulgent and satisfied a craving only a giant plate of Cincinnati chili can satisfy. YUM! We saw a nearby table order the giant pretzel; it looked so good, we ordered one ourselves to cap off our meal. Great spot for an easy meal with family! read more

Blue Ash Chili - 6 Way - Burgers Near Me - Blue Ash, Ohio

I checked out the new location of Blue Ash Chili, as they were forced to vacate their original that they had occupied for so many years. I think they did a great job with the new spot. It is spacious and modern, with many nods to the nostalgia. There is plenty of parking and even a little patio with outdoor tables. They have garage doors that open and connect the inside with the the outside. There is an order counter for take out as well as a prepared case. Your choice of booths, tables, and a diner counter are available for dine in. The staff was super nice and took my take out order. I got the chili mac and cheese 5 way style and a Turkey BLT with cheese double decker to split with a friend. We agreed that the chili mac was a bit disappointing. The flavor was there but it was a very small portion and quite greasy. I had this at another place and it was more like the ratio of a normal 5 way. The double decker was awesome and is one of my favorite things on their menu. It is loaded with high quality ingredients. Check out BAC as a great contender in the ongoing chili wars of Cincy! read more

Two ham & beef on rye sandwiches $25.00 + $1.00 for added pickles. Really pickles? No French fries or potato chips no pickle spear nothing. If you're going to charge $12.50 for a lunchmeat sandwich at least add some chips or don't charge extra for pickles. read more

A friend and I went to lunch at Blue Ash Chili and ordered hot pastrami sandwiches. They were delicious!! Also, Sydney McDonough gave us excellent service! Plus "Ron" checked with us if everything was okay and cleared our dishes when we were finished with eating. read more

This is the place for sandwiches, the double decker sandwiches do not disappoint. Every time we come to visit family we have to stop here for a bite. There was a bit of a line to be seated but once your food comes it's easy to understand why. The food is amazing, portions are huge, staff is super friendly and service is quick! Plenty of options on the menu. Next time we're in town definitely will be stopping by and will hopefully have room for dessert! read more

Love this place my favorite is the 6 way. I also love the deli sandwiches. Worth the drive

Been here twice now and both times were excellent. Will definitely be back again. Service is very nice with several people checking on us.

My husband and I come here every Saturday! Everyone is so friendly and the food is amazing! Cannot recommend enough!

We went to the Blue Ash Chili in Blue Ash on 8/6/25. We had not been there since they relocated, so it had been quite awhile. The place was crowded. That being said, the service was still fantastic. The waitresses were friendly and attentive. Our drinks were always filled without us having to ask. Moving on to the menu. There are 4 or more pages of things to order. I ordered the ham/roast beef doubledecker and fries and a Diet Coke. I was shocked at the size of the sandwich. I would have to call it massive, especially by today's standards. My friend ordered a BLT made exactly the way she requested. The price plus tip was $36.00. In my opinion, more than worth it, for what we ordered. I will be back! read more

Popped in here for Chili Week and can't stop thinking of that coney with fried jalapeños instead of a hot dog. Man that was so tasty! I also had the coney with fried pickle instead of the hot dog, super tasty, too. Service was quick and friendly. I wish this place was closer to us, but probably better for my waistline that it's not! read more

Blue ash chili has been a family favorite for years. It has consistently had high-quality ingredients and delicious food. The restaurant is super clean and the staff is always friendly. We booked their food truck for a family party and it was a hit! Just like the restaurant the food was great and everything looked very clean. read more

I love getting my Cincinnati chili when I'm in Southern Ohio but this was my first try at Blue Ash Chili and really enjoyed it! The chili wasn't as spiced (maybe cinnamon-y) as I'm used to for topping spaghetti but the ingredients tasted very fresh and I really like the thick chopped onions. I stopped by for dinner around 7pm on a Thursday and it was packed but service is quick so tables turned over fast. The staff was also very friendly and they move fast so I had a great meal in under half an hour. Perfect because I needed to make my way towards the airport. Overall, I'd recommend getting the cheese coney! It reminds me of a little chili dog and I like more traditional chili on my hot dogs. Plus their mascot is super cute! read more

Very expensive for what we got, and if you are thinking about ordering anything with gyro meat, consider this. I ordered a gyro salad and was served a bowl of shredded iceberg lettuce topped with diced tomatoes, red onions and a thin layer of extremely overcooked gyro meat. If you like it that way, go for it, but most of us prefer it soft and plentiful. read more

I went there for lunch on Friday; the special - three fish tacos - sounded good, so we both ordered it and a Coke Zero. For reference, three fish tacos at Mazunte is 12.50. And they're the best in Cincinnati. But let's call them in the top 5. I don't want to argue about that. Back to Blue Ash Chili. The three fish tacos were delicious. The Coke Zero is good. We got the bill, and it was $22. That seems about right. Nope. $22 for each of us. And then, of course, there's the tip. The service was perfect. But Trump had just crashed the market. I spent $22 on three tacos, so I wasn't in the mood to tip big. Sorry about that. Yes, I should have asked the price of the special. That's on me. But I never thought it would cost $22. read more

There are tons of chili options in the Cincinnati area and this is the best that I know of. I always make it a point to visit at least once every time I visit Cincinnati. Just outstanding! PS for all restaurants- please consider sanitizing items such as menus and salt/pepper shakers between customers, thanks! read more

I'm new to Cincy so the chili was not my thing. It tastes like cinnamon to me. Luckily they give samples which was awesome. Chorizo burger was unique and tasty highly recommend. Service is very very good as well. If you're new to the city this is probably one of the best places to stop in. read more

Excellent as usual. This place never disappoints. The best double deckers around!!!

Got this to-go during the COVID-19 crisis. Such a great pickup option for last minute orders. Easy customizable when ordering online too. Got the skinny double decker of turkey and bacon. I opted for no middle slice of bread though. Also added a side of onion rings. The sandwich was good, but nothing amazingly special. Onion rings were also tasty, but a small portion for the price. read more

In Italy, each local city or village can be identified by their local pasta, most of which comes from how they shape their dough. In historically german Cincinnati, the same can be said for Chilli parlors. Historically every small neighborhood had their own chili dive, and they all had their "secret" recipe. Over the years many of the mom and pops gave way to the big two in Cincinnati, but I'm happy to say that Blue Ash Chili has survived and is thriving. BAC moved locations about 1 year ago and has brought with it all of their traditional Cincinnati and comfort based foods, while providing more space with upgraded everything in their new location. I have gone to BAC for the last 15 years, even before Guy Fieri took uncomfortably large bites on DD&D. So why come? It has the classic chili spaghetti that is iconic in these parts, but also offers many other double deckers and great comfort foods. They even offer Goetta, which is another local favorite and also what landed on my sandwich today. Their service is always prompt, the food comes out fast and fresh, and it tastes great. The wait staff have always been friendly and personable. The new booths are very comfortable as well. It's amazing to me that even with more seating than their old place, it is actually more crowded now. That is great for BAC and those like me that enjoy it. Just earned if you come during peak lunch hours you may have to wait a minute. Just look at those pies in the case next to you and dream about dessert until your seated. They are closed on Sundays, which is a bummer BUT I fully support locally owned diners hours. read more

My first visit to Blue Ash Chili was fantastic! I ordered a hotdog with sauerkraut, chili sauce, and coleslaw on the side. It was delicious! The atmosphere was great, and the service was friendly. I will definitely visit again! read more

Cincinnati Chili has been something I have wanted to try during every trip here. Finally made it to Blue Ash Chili today. I'll start with the restaurant itself. Super busy, friendly staff and fast service. Now for the food, Ordered the 5-way and the gravy cheese fries. First and foremost, the fries were amazing! I mean truly one of the best things I have eaten. Simple and flavorful. Crinkle Fries, brown gravy, topped with cheddar cheese and then melted,how can that go wrong? Now on to the chili.. It was okay at best, very heavy on the cumin. More like a sauce, but decent. Not what I think of when I think chili, but each region makes it their own. I would definitely come back at least for the fries.. read more
