    I'm new to the area and wanted to try the famous Cincinnati chili that's on spaghetti! I also got a Greek salad. Not bad, but definitely had the quality of fast food. The beef tasted like the beef at Taco Bell and the dressing on the Greek salad I'm sure wasn't homemade. I'll probably only come here on occasion for the novelty factor, like when people are visiting from out of state.

    I love Cincinnati style chili. So I pounce on these places when I can since there's only one left in Indy besides the one in Greenwood. This one is huge! The dining room is much larger from all the ones I've seen. I ordered my usual 4-way with onions. She got her usual Coney dogs with cheese. Everything was delicious. I love their oyster crackers too. The dining room was clean when we walked in. There were no tables needing busing. Our server was friendly, prompt and efficient. Our food was delivered super fast. Plus our server checked back in with us three times. I've always had good experiences the numerous times I've eaten at Skyline.

    Hands down the best chili I've ever had and every time I'm in Ohio we try to stop in and enjoy Skyline!

    This location looks fairly new to me. It was clean and I didn't see any trash laying around. Service was super fast and the chili was hot I would for sure stop here again

    Random stop driving through... something I had no desire to do. WOW...glad I did! This is what wet dreams are made of! We shared chilli cheese fries, a cheese Coney dog and I had a small 5 way chilli. Outstanding! Great service, clean store, super friendly staff and extra covid precautions. Fantastic experience...wish it was closer!!

    Burritos for everyone

    I'm really not that big of a fan of Cincinnati Chili, I do not add chocolate or cinnamon to my chili, but I respect this for what it is. I have usually had some variation of Skyline at a Reds game or at Riverbend and it has been fine for what it is at that kind of venue. To me the food is a solid 4 stars if you like this kind of item. And since it is right down the road from me, I can honestly say is has grown on me. I love a good five way. I figure...go big or go home, right? I really do like all the extra favors that come with all the all the items. Because everything is made to order you can really get any combination of items you want on any of the food items. I recently tried the Bean Mix Deluxe Burrito that is a flour tortilla filled with their chili bean mix then covered with chili, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream. This may be my new go-to item. My 5th star for this location is service! I've been here a half dozen or so times in both busy and not so busy times and I am always waited on promptly. The server and other staff is always friendly and answer all my questions and take care of any special requests. Jump in here and give it a try.

    While in Kentucky for a basketball tournament my husband wanted to give this a try. It's a twist on spaghetti with chili sauce instead of traditional spaghetti sauce. You can get cheese(extra/light), onions, and/or beans as a topping. We ordered a side green salad with dressing and everything was great. The inside is very clean, the waitress was attentive and they even have a drive thru. We wish there was one where we lived because we would be frequent customers.

    My go-to... the 3 way, before I add the cheese and crackers.

    I joined the cult! I mean, that's what it almost seems like. My friends and family from the Cincinnati area, which is where SL originated from, practically act as though no other fast food options exists. I have to admit, when I first tried SL in northern Kentucky a long time ago, I wasn't sold on it. I've since conceded and have found my niche/go-to here. Chili with spaghetti noodles, is how I remember chili from my childhood. My mom still makes chili with pasta. My husband hates the idea of pasta in his chili. So when I get SL, I get to reminisce back to my childhood. I order the 3-way, which includes spaghetti noodles, the beef mixture and the shredded cheese and CRACKers on the side. I love that you can slowly add the cheese to it as you eat, or add as little or as much as they give you... which is a lot! Ok, somewhere in there I'm convinced they put some crack... is it in the crackers?

    Let me start with the fact I do not like Cincinnati chili. I'm from the South-West and chili should be savory, not sweet. That said I am glad I hit Skyline. I got the spaghetti with chili and the presentation was AMAZING. If you like chili you need to try this place. The service was freaky fast. The staff were very cheerful. And, the restaurant was clean.

    YES!!!

    They asked me to post a review.... all I could say is, go see everything that is posted about every other Skyline Chili. They are either hated, or loved. Anyone from Cincinnati and moved away, they are "happy to be back" into their closest Skyline when they are in Cincy. And now, those Cincy transplants, now living in Lexington, no longer have to drive 45 Mins to get our fix. Yes you still have the countertops for one, or plenty of space to pull tables together for a large group. But the best part about this specific one is the "Lexington" touch. The barn wood look throughout is a great finish. The fireplace gives it the home feel, which is exactly Skyline represents, our home! And it is so much closer to my current home. May i recommend (as Yelp says below) put some mustard on that! Tell them I sent you!

Looking at the pictures on the menu I was wondering if o should order extra. I decided on a gyro platter and it was huge. I should back up. As I'm sitting waiting, they brought out a complimentary cup of lentil soup and it was delicious. Then the platter comes out it was an enormous portion. Also included hummus and cucumber yoghurt salad with a whole pita bread. Everything was delicious. Highly recommended.

    This was my second time coming, and I brought my husband this time. There was a little bit of…read moreconfusion on our part that lessened the experience for us a little. My husband is obsessed with gyros and that's his favorite thing - there was a Shawarma plate that said it had steak, chicken and Gyro and what we thought that meant was that it was Shawarma and then there was a Gyro sandwich on the plate, but that wasn't the case. It was just the gyro meat. So that made my husband sad because he'd been looking to a Gyro all day. No fault to them, totally our misunderstanding. The food was delicious and the price was great. There are a couple of things I would like to see updated. When you get the Shawarma plate, everything comes on one plate and that means your salad is mixing with your hummus is mixing with your Shawarma. I would like to see the salad in a side bowl. The plate is so stuffed. It's hard to begin eating because everything is stuffed on there so tightly. I would like the salad in a separate bowl not just to avoid mixing but to allow me a little more room on my plate to begin eating. We will be back and I will probably request my salad in a side bowl in the future. The lentil soup is great and it comes complementary with the meal. I would also like to be able to buy a bigger bowl of that if I chose. I would also like the option of the fried bread pieces to sprinkle in my soup. I tried the cake, pistachio dessert, and that's the only thing I didn't care for too much. It was just very cakey and not my typical type of dessert. I would love to see them partner with Al Taj, and get some of the Dubai chocolate bars in for sale that would be awesome.

Wonderful seasoning, well cooked, great hummus, great Greek salad... the pita bread was meh, but I'll forgive it because everything else was great. The inside isn't a 5 star restaurant, but it's serviceable! Good amount of seating. The staff are friendly, open to questions, and very nice overall.
