The sad Gouda panini :(
Lori S.

The chili here is amazing! Second time eating The Chili Hut. First time we ate in for lunch. This time got to go for weeknight dinner. The coneys are great and same with my 4-way. This chili has great flavor and a little kick but not too much. Different than skyline of course so I can't compare but I do love this little place! However I ordered a half ham and Gouda panini which says it comes with tomato, onion and mustard but all mine had on it was a piece of ham and a slice of cheese and I was disappointed. It would have been good with the rest. Also ordered a hot dog and cheese for our toddler but they forgot the hot dog! I'll change my review if they address because I do love the chili and our first experience was great, hence why we went back again! Also to note, the first time we ate there the owner was there and he was wonderful. This time was a different person.

Spicy Cincinnati chili. My fave! This chili put Skyline and especially Gold Star to shame. Get the chili cheese sandwiches or coneys. The owner is super friendly and baited is in with a free sample. Otherwise, I may not have gotten it at all and walked past to the next.

Walking Taco (with Fritos)
Olivia M.

Not bad chili at all considering Im die hard Skyline only! The walking taco was rather tasty and more filling than I thought. Was it worth $8....thats debatable. Overall it was nice especially since they came to my job and we don't have a cafeteria and are in the middle of a food desert. I would do it again...

Great food truck with authentic Cincinnati Chili. You can get up to a five way (Chili, noodles, onions, beans, and plenty of cheese). Prices start at $5.00 for a plain or two way Chili and each additional topping is a dollar. You can also order coney dogs, pulled pork, or order the homemade coleslaw.

Not even going to lie, I was hesitant. A lot of places around here try to do Cincinnati Chili and fail miserably at it. Plus the prices. You think of a walking taco as just being filled in a chip bag, but it's not and they can make them with Doritos! I got mine with half Doritos and half Frito's, DELICIOUS! The taste of the chili is in between GS and Skyline, the closest thing to perfection. I already can't wait for them to come back!

Chili Hut at Union Center Food Truck Rally

Wow. That's the only word for it. I don't eat a lot of chili, and when I do it's usually Skyline... and this blew Skyline out of the water. It was amazing. I got a 3-way. The chili itself was seasoned excellent and had a slight kick/spice to it. The spaghetti was well prepared, not rubbery. The cheese was freshly grated and they did not skip on anything. I will DEFINITELY be eating here whenever I can.

Go to their website, find where they are and go there! One of the best cheese coneys I've ever had! The guys working were super friendly and passionate about what they do. This is a winner, simple as that!

Cheese Coneys

May very well be a new favorite for cheese coneys. Found them parked on Fountain Square today and decided to try them out. Got a few cheese coneys with onions. Got out on the square a little early so hardly any wait time. They tasted great. Scarfed them down pretty fast (was pretty hungry!). I'll definitely remember them as a solid option next time I'm in the mood for coneys again. An excellent choice.

Slaw dog with cheese, mustard, onions, and jalapeños.

I've eaten here several times in the last couple of months. Food is absolutely delicious. Great…read moreburgers, the beef stew (a temporary item) was just like mom used to make which put a huge smile on my face. Chili was also a huge hit with my brother. Service was awesome, even when they are slammed. The kitchen can turn those orders so wait is kept as short as possible. The owners made a great little eating spot right in the middle of their golf driving range/putt putt/outdoor winter walking area. They strived to make this a great experience. Job well done.

My rating is for the service, and mini golf / driving range only as I didn't get food - when I come…read moreback and try the food, I will update my review. This place has tons of parking which is free. The pricing for mini golf was really good better than anywhere else - unlimited and two different 18-hole courses (I will say the courses itself could use an upgrade - new paint or adding some objects to the course to make the established holes a bit more challenging. We paid 9 dollars per person. The driving range was also pretty cheap for buckets of balls - it would be a fun afternoon to bring the dads for driving range, the kids for mini golf and the moms can eat food and hang or enjoy the range as well. The food looked good, but we did not partake - the drinks were decently well priced - a can of beer 3.50 - a sway was 6 bucks. They have free concerts every now and then at their art installation, which is pretty cool, I also think it's cool how they do 5 buck Mondays. The staff was nice enough, my only complaint is the grass was a little overgrown, so we got ate up with chiggers and skeeters.

Milkman, you were so, so, so good to me! I've never been into the restaurant, though I have gotten…read moreDoorDash once before. It was as delicious as I wanted it to be! When my friend and I walked in, we were greeted by such a sweet staff who immediately welcomed us in, shared their thoughts on the menu (since we were first-timers), and suggested we leave a review (they were so lovely, so how could we not!) The entire restaurant feels like the diner Sam worked at in Cinderella Story from the early 2000s - very vintage, very retro, very 50s! It's what I imagine restaurants looking like when my grandparents went on dates when they were my age. I had gotten the tofu nugs via DoorDash, which were better IRL and the milkshake was scrumptious too! My friend got the Milkman Burger, fries, and a fruity pebbles shake. It was all great but let me tell ya...we had this meal almost two weeks ago and I'm STILL dreaming of those French fries. I have had so many iterations of fried potato before...shoestring, steak, wedges, sweet potato, those made from yuca, curly, dipped in ice cream, etc. and these are the best fries I've had in my life. If I could live off the fries, I would. They were that good. I already have plans to share this place with other friends of mine as it has officially worked its way into the rotation for me!

Absolutely love milkman! It's a consistent experience every time and I love the food! I get the…read moredeluxe burger with no bun and a side of fries with their house sauce and wow! My favorite part is that they are smash burgers and filled with flavor. The restaurant itself is in the heart of OTR and very clean. All of the servers are always super nice and provide great service to the customers.
