    Gold Star for the 4 star! This was a great little location for an iconic Greater Cincinnati flavor. The place is a little outdated but it was kept clean and the staff was real friendly. I'm from North Carolina so the concept of chili like this on hotdogs and pasta is still strange...but it's growing in me! The food was great and they have other options outside the typical Cincy dishes. I had the grilled harvest salad with raspberry vinaigrette and had no regrets! The battle of Gold Star and Skyline chili lives on and this is a good location for you to judged yourself! Also, kids eat FREE on Tuesday when you spend $8! As a parent this is nice for a good size kids meal.

    The building is in terrible shape.

    I visited this location during the dinner time hours. The cashier was wonderful. Jaylynn was smiling, upbeat and friendly. The food was on par for Gold Star, hot and delicious. My reason for a two star rating is the building is in horrible shape. I snapped a picture of the bathroom to show how bad the tile flooring looks. It was that bad in the dining room as well. Give this place a makeover!

    A delicious #chiliburger with corn chips, onions and cheese. #CincyBurgerWeek @yelpcincy #cincinnatichili #goldstarchili

    This may be the fault of the Grub Hub delivery drivers, but my delivery took almost two hours.

    Always consistent and fast. If you go early or late the service is always good. This doesn't apply to the Newport location it's hit or miss.

As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the hostess and before we sat down our waitress asked what we would like to drink. My husband had the breakfast bar, everything was freshly prepared and well stocked. He enjoyed the variety of meats such as Guetta bacon and sausage, biscuits and gravy as well as pancakes and fresh fruit. He said his food was delicious. I had a bacon egg and cheese toast breakfast sandwich which was wonderful! It had a lot of bacon on it and was freshly prepared and delicious. I was given an entire carafe of coffee just for myself as my husband doesn't drink it which was a nice touch. We had a very good meal and Frisches at this location didn't disappoin! If you want a homestyle breakfast this is for you nothing fancy but clean delicious food and great service.

The onion rings were soft and not crispy like they used to be. The fish was good but the bun fell apart half way through. The cole slaw isn't like it used to be. It had larger pieces of cabbage and the taste wasn't as good as the past. Frisch's food has gone downhill in the last 20 years. It's no wonder they have shut down some restaurants and frankly if this is now the quality they need to shut down all of them. Darn shame. I grew up with Frisch's but it isn't like I remember!

Yet pride is a poor guide, and so I ate. The moment the meat touched my lips, all doubt was struck down. What I feared would betray me instead reshaped my understanding of what this feast could be. I speak without embellishment--this sandwich changed me. I took it crowned with pickles and drenched in extra pizza sauce, and the harmony was undeniable. The bread is magnificent--soft, yielding, and resolute all at once. The sauce commands the bite. This house stands constantly filled, and for just cause. Still, I will not deceive the realm: this feast is not for all. I brought my wife, and she found no favor in the steak hoagie. Taste divides even the closest of bonds. I have since sought its equal across many lands. I have failed each time. None compare. The wings are serviceable, yet they are but attendants to the throne. The steak hoagie is the crown itself. They name this place Legendary. In this, they speak truth. I grant this feast 5 out of 5 Tankards. By my palate. -The Food Lord, House of Golden Tongue

However, I was in Cincinnati for the night for work and by the time we wrapped our event my dining options were not exactly plentiful. I figured this would be a convenient time to try them so I went ahead and entered their location into my maps and went to their website to order ahead of time so I could really just jump in and out. Ordering was not difficult though I was honestly a little surprised and how small the menu was. Do a few things and do them well, I would imagine is their motto! I ended up ordering the 4 piece combo and was told it would be ready in 10. I made my way over there with a few minutes to spare. This location does not have a drive thru and is in the bottom level of a larger building so I had to find a place to park to run in. This was surprisingly NOT easy on 10pm on a Wednesday night but I finally managed to get a standing spot (which imagine was dedicated for food delivery person pick up). I ran inside and it was packed with a super long line and a ton of people waiting. I was even happier that I had ordered ahead of time and looked to their online order pick up shelves. They were empty though the staff was calling out names and handing out bags of food so I thought, "oh it's busy and mine just isn't ready yet. I'll wait." And I waited. And waited. And waited. My bad for not going up to the counter sooner but the line was so long I didn't want to wait there and I didn't want to jump in front of anyone just to ask (I'm polite, OK?). But after a few minutes I got antsy and just went ahead and did the "PSST!" thing to the cashier between customers. And yes, of course, my meal was ready. Had been for some time, right behind the counter. I grabbed it filled my beverage and made my way back out. Back at my hotel I dug in and found that because of the wait it had gotten a bit cold and the fries and texas toast had gotten a bit soggy. Somehow, however, the chicken maintained some crunch and I found it to be quite good. I imagine if I were to have gotten it fresh out of the fryer and eaten it onsite I would have enjoyed it much more. As it was, however, it was perfectly serviceable fast food, but it didn't quite make me understand the hype. I'm willing to try it again, though!
