A Taste of Cincinnati in Florida! I was so excited to find a Skyline down here, and it did not disappoint. It truly felt like a slice of home. The Food: Everything was exactly how it should be. We ordered three plain coneys, a chilito with spaghetti and bean, and a chili cheese fry. The flavors were spot on, the perfect comfort meal! The Atmosphere & Service: The server was incredibly friendly and attentive. I was also really impressed by how well-maintained the restaurant was; the dining area and the bathrooms were spotless. A huge plus was seeing hand sanitizer available at every single table, it's clear they prioritize cleanliness here. The "Vibes": What really made the experience special was the authentic Cincinnati atmosphere. They even sell Grippo's chips and Graeter's ice cream! It was so much fun seeing all those local staples while being in Florida. If you're craving a 3-way or some coneys, this is definitely the spot to go. We will be back! read more

We were in the St Pete's area and made a special trip to this Skyline. The traffic was pretty bad getting there but once we got inside the restaurant everything was ok. We accidentally turned in too soon and had to park in the nearby hotel. We headed to our own seat and were quickly greeted. I asked for a gluten free menu and was happy to get the special allergy menu. I ordered the baked potato 3 way. It had chill, cheese and sour cream. It was really tasty but you have to like the Cincy style chilli which is pretty sweet and unique. It is a little different for sure. We also bought 2 pounds of goetta sausage. It's super expensive $13 a pound but you're paying for convenience. Would recommend trying but the chilli is sweet with cinnamon and cumin flavors. The service was excellent! The server even bagged our sausage with ice. read more

I used to come here often but after today I'll probably go to another location. The portions were half what they used to be. The large 3-way is now a regular and barely any chili. The chili cheese fry had no chili and barely any cheese and same with the coney. We were told they are making cuts and going "by the book". The waitress was great but I hope all locations don't do this. read more

Best Father's Day present for my dad visiting me in Florida: he can go to a real skyline like he's back in undergrad in 1982. Quick service, clean and traditional cincy chili read more

Skyline Chili is a classic Cincinnati staple and unlike chili anywhere else. Poured over spaghetti at its base - it can be ordered 3-way (spaghetti, secret chili sauce, & mound of cheese on top) or 4-way (add beans) or 5-way (add onions) - always go 5-way for full messy flavorful pleasure! AND you have to have at least a few coneys ( medium size hot dogs on steamed bun loaded with chili sauce, onions and a ton of cheese on top). When I lived in Cinci had regular "Coney attacks" and had to go to Skyline to chow down on 5-6 at a time! Not a nutritious meal but boy do they just hit the spot! Sit at the counter for quick service and a good view on perfect execution in the open kitchen area read more

Omg I never knew this was here until we were driving back to Tampa! We went to one in Cincinnati Ohio. Needless to say we made a U-turn and went to go to go food! Being as we had always are why not have it for dinner! It wasn't full inside and we were waited on immediately. It's just like the one the SkyLine we went too! Same atmosphere and the red and white color! We saw a few Bengal fans too! Of course! Great place no matter what part of the US you are in Skyline Chili never disappoints! read more

So I for years have said I wanted to try this place out I love chili and I love everything it goes on fries and burgers and dogs. Well my buddy and I went and we both left highly disappointed.

My wife & I were on our way to Clearwater beach today when it suddenly started pouring down rain. So, we decided to stop for lunch. Skyline was the closest restaurant on our favorites list. Long story short, the food was delicious as usual; and the service was excellent. We walked out with a total cost of less than $20, happy and no longer hungry. We highly recommend Skyline. read more

Skyline Chili is a staple of Cincinnati, Ohio! If it was closer to me, I would get it multiple times a week. Every skyline is pretty much the same, so if you're looking for authentic Cincinnati chili, this is the place to go. Even being pescatarian, they have a large vegetarian menu. That is so delicious. It is the perfect cool-weather meal when you're looking for comfort. Vegetarian Chilito: 9.2 Veg. Regular 3-way: 9.2 Scale system 10/10 would be what I want for my last meal 9.9-9.3 driving out of my way to get this 9.2-8.0 like the place and would go back 7.9-7.0 I would come here again if it were presented and don't have anything bad to say 6.9 and below - thanks but no thanks after trying once read more

This place brings me back to childhood. The chili is a personal favorite as I don't care much for beans in my chili. Plenty of cheese on top, as you can see in the photos. Prices really can't be beat so don't expect fancy. Service was quick. Diner type feeling, which fits the mood perfectly. Love the smaller hot dogs. read more

Skyline Chili - Hot dogs - Fast Food Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

The food is good and the employees were great except one. One very rude waitress can ruin business. Well, this location has that one. She never did refill a drink and got mad when it was mentioned at the counter. Was told not to come back also (no, did not make a scene so this was a surprise). Apparently someone doesn't like it when their lack of work ethic is in question. I'll just keep my money and go elsewhere. read more

I hadn't been to Skyline for quite some time, so stopped by after a nearby appointment. I intended to order two Coney Island hot dogs, but changed my mind upon being told the hot dogs were generic beef and pork dogs, not the higher quality Sabrett's, Nathans, or Vienna all beef dogs most frequently offered in the area. I ordered a small 5-Way for $8.59 thinking I would get more than the absurdly minuscule serving dish filled with a countable number of beans and spaghetti noodles, a tablespoon or two of chili and a smattering of onions beneath a deceptively fluffy and tall nest of finely shredded cheese. I get it - I ordered the small. Still yet, in most "step-above fast food" restaurants you typically get more than what you pay for, certainly not less. Add to it a five-dollar bottle of Coors Light that wasn't any better or any colder than the $3.50 bottles that seems to be the off-beach norm for these type places. When this location first opened I recall getting a sample for about the same size of that which I just paid nearly 9 bucks for. I made quick work of my costly lunch and nurtured my normally cheap beer in an effort to feel as if there were some sort of value to what amounted to be a small, costly, albeit tasty $16.62 afternoon snack. I'm sure I'll be back in a year or two when the mood hits, but it's certainly not a place I'd frequent regularly. read more

This has all the elements of a Skyline in Cincy. The walls have tons of photos from Great American ballpark, Fountain Square, and the downtown Cincinnati skyline at night. They've added some nice local touches as well, with photos of Clearwater beach and jerseys from the local high school. They have every detail as well...they greet you with crackers and hot sauce, the chili is perfect, and they even have Pepsi products and York peppermint patties at the register. The staff is always friendly and quick as well! INCOMING NITPICK: This is a strange criticism, but they overload everything with the chili. The coneys are incredibly sloppy, and the 3 ways have chili drops smeared all over the plates. It'd be a _perfect_ Cincy skyline experience with a little less chili and more cheese. A 3 way should have enough chili to cover the spaghetti with a mound of cheese on top (like I said, a total nitpick!). As a native Cincinnatian, it's a blessing to have a Skyline here, and I think they do an outstanding job. If you're curious about Cincinnati chili, or visiting from the Queen City, check it out! P.S. as of this review, they also have Greater's ice cream on the way! read more

I am a huge fan of Skyline when I am in the Cincy area. If you have never been there are ongoing "fights" between fans of Skyline and some of the other Cincinatti chili places, primarily Gold's. The style of chili is Greek in origin and contains a good amount of cinammon. In addition, the beef is boiled down, which gives it a very different texture. For skyline, the normal presentation is spaghetti or a small coney dog as the base, covered with chili and cheese (a lot of cheese). You can also have beans and/or onions. The setup here is very much like the Cincy locations, with a large bar around the kitchen and seating around the room. Service was not quite on par with the locations I had been to before, but not enough to complain. I ended up getting 2 conies while I was there and decided to go more keto for dinner and ordered chili and cheese on top of dogs. Flavor still pretty much on point and way too much cheese, but I expect that. The togo (pictured) was the depressing point. Usually ordering this way gives a decent scoop of chili on top of the dogs. As you can see, the chili proportions are extremely light here. I will definitely hit a Skyline again, but not sure about the one in Clearwater. read more

It is always great! I love the whole team that I see on a regular basis. I always try to sit with Christine,Red,. She's great!

I realize Skyline is a chain but we are regulars at this particular location because the food is always fast and consistently delicious and the staff is so incredibly friendly and hospitable.

So glad I came! I'm a true fan of Skyline. This means I go out of my way to make a stop if I'm near a location since I don't have one close to home. On a recent trip across the state to the GulfCoast, I searched for Skyline Chili and came across this one in Clearwater. What a pleasant visit! Considering it's in a strip mall with an entrance in the corner of the building, once inside, it's surprisingly spacious and open. This is one of the newer and cleanest that I've been to and has ample seating. Service was quick and friendly and very attentive throughout our meal, which also came fast even though we were there during the lunch rush on a Saturday. I ordered my usual four-way chili with spaghetti and my husband had two coney dogs. Both lived up to the Skyline standard. Delicious! If you're a fan, this is a must try location. And if you've never had Skyline, this is a good place to have the experience. You won't regret it! read more

Ah Skyline. I wish there was one in NY. As others have said, this is not your Texas red, but a Greek meat sauce with cinnamon, clove among other wonderful spices, poured on spaghetti with another pile of the finest shredded cheese on top. Let it all melt in. I get the 4 way with beans. Service is fast. This location is clean and well kept. I remember when there were more of these in Tampa Bay. I always stop here right after the airport! I want one on NY. I would be in trouble deep, though. read more

After spending a few years living in Ohio you kinda start craving Skyline because there really isn't anything like it as that flavor is just too uniquely scrumptious! So when a friend came to visit me who has also been Skyline deprived he said we should go get some needless to say I was all for it as that Cincinnati chili is always one of my favorites! For me it's always been the same a small 5 way and a coney dog with their habanero cheese on top because that makes for a seriously yummy experience all around! This Skyline was awesome it reminded me of the good old days after trips to Kings Island as all the flavors were here and everything was just perfect including our service! I'm hoping to see more of these pop up around the Florida area as I always love myself some 5 Way! Overall it's Skyline and that unique chili that you can only find in this part of the country if you've never been to yourself a favor and give it a try as you will be in for a unique treat! read more

We had the weekend off of work, well I didn't, I was working in bed while we were binge watching Stranger Things 4. We kept driving past this place for two weeks straight and were surprised we didn't have to go to Cincinnati to try it. They were short staffed so the lines were a little long, it's understandable. 4 way: spaghetti with onions and a shit ton of cheese (took a bunch of lactaid prior to this, did it work eh so so). It was good, interesting, different. The chili tasted like some cinnamon or all spice or could have been some smoky seasoning I couldn't put my finger on what it was. Luckily I'm slowly recovering from cinnamon allergy. Hit and miss when my throat closes up. Cheese coney: they were pretty small, but good, solid, simple. Overall: I liked it, was inexpensive and fed two people for 13 bucks. read more

Skyline Chili is definitely an acquired taste - but I have acquired it, and sometimes the cravings are so strong I have to drive *across the bridge* just to fill my craving. People argue endlessly whether its actually chili or not, as its more similar to a meat sauce, but I don't care what they call it, as long as they throw it on my hot dogs and spaghetti. It was my first time trying this location, and I went on Super Bowl Sunday to eat in, plus get some to-go to eat during the game and support the poor Bengals. I had 2 coneys with cheese and a Greek salad there, and got a 3-way to go (spaghetti, chili, and cheese). The coneys are perfection: small hot dog, soft bun, topped with chili, and a mound of cheese. It literally melts in your mouth. I was pleasantly surprised with the Greek salad - it had lots of items in it including real Greek olives and chick peas. They did an excellent job with the to-go food - everything was wrapped carefully, and they included oyster crackers and hot sauce. Service was just okay - I never saw my server throughout my meal, so I had no soda refills, water, etc. She finally showed up when I was waiting in line to pay to give me my check. Other than that - the location was clean and bright with plenty of parking, and I'll be back when the cravings strikes. read more

Great place for lunch! Always great service and clean. Chili dogs are great! I usually go Once a week.

There's nothing wrong with trying something new at all... but Minding my business at my desk when an engineer and a purchasing manager walks up and asks hey want to take a ride for lunch? With such a dynamic duo of minds asking that question, I'm like, hell yeahI'm in!! I logged out and grabbed my wallet. The entire ride the fellaz are bragging about this place and how it reminds them of back home, both guys being from the Midwest so I'm open to this "different type of cuisine" Nice little joint in a plaza right in my old stomping grounds of Clearwater. Some of the cutest waitresses ever, sweet older women that was nice enough to give me a sample of the Chilli and pastas because it was my first time. The engineer ordered a "4 way" the manager order two Chilli dogs. I did the same two dogs will be perfect. As I wait I'm seeing folks food come out and I'm like bruh read more

Skyline in Florida... need I say more? Everything reminded me of growing up in Northern Kentucky. Everything about this restaurant was amazing.

I was looking for a hotdog. This popped up #1on my Yelp search. Say no more! Nice open dining with a dinner feel. Our server was amazing and since we were not familiar with the 'way' she was helpful in explaining. Deb had not had the chili, at least she didn't remember I had made some when I made hotdogs at home, so the server brought us out a taster. She was not sold but was in for the adventure! After the 'training' on the way we decided to get a few dogs and a 4 way. Bogs were very tasty and the chili and onions were great. I had to get more onions to add to both of these. The 4 way was everything but beans. Not a bean chili fan so this was perfect for me. Chili was tasty poured on top of lots of pasta and of course pilled high with cheese !! It was unique and tasty! Service was awesome and so friendly ! read more

Stopped in for lunch the other day with the friends. I have never been to a skyline but my friend is from Ohio so this is a staple in their life. They were very busy around the time we got there, 2ish pm. Regardless we were seated and were given menus and drinks after a short wait. The menu is pretty standard, obviously the staple is the chili. It was okay and we all liked it! The service got a lot better after it started to slow down and the servers were very nice. read more

I've eaten Skyline Chili for 30+ years and keep coming back. This location is great and has ample seating. Their chili is unique and different than what most people consider as chili. Their shredded cheese is delicious. Stop by and have a Coney or a 3-way. You have to try it once in your life! The service is very quick. They always offer to give you a refill of your drink "to-go" as you check out. Not many places bother to do that. read more

We are from Cincinnati. We are a skyline family. It is very rare that our family does not have skyline once a week. So we were very glad to see that there was a skyline location near us during our vacation. We had great service and good food. I would rate it. A four-star would've gave them a five star, but they did not have a souvenir shirt in my size. read more

This is my husband's favorite place for chili. Now I know why. The chili is delicious! There are plenty of choices on the CONEYS side of the menu. If you are not a chili fan, you can choose something from the other side of the menu which features salads, wraps, burritos and vegetarian. Another menu features fries, chicken, potatoes, bowls, and desserts. During Covid-19 the menus are laminated on the table. The wait staff and cashier are wearing masks. Tables are wiped down after each use, and some tables are off limits (for social distancing). What hasn't changed is the friendly, positive atmosphere. Husband tells me that he always feels welcome, and even though we can't see smiles because of the masks, we can hear the friendliness and see the smile in our server's eyes. Husband had the regular 3 way chili - his usual. I had the small. Not as hungry. We both wore bibs to avoid splashes on our shirts. The servings are generous. Both were hot and delicious. I'll join him again! read more
