Skyline Chili in other cities:
03/21/22: Great service, great food. In this time after Covid where very few resturants. A: Have staff that cares what they are doing. B: Hardly ever get orders correct. C: Care / enjoy their job. This Skyline reminds me of how going out to eat use to be enjoyable. Keep it up!Best fountain Pepsi in town, food is always great!
I have been going to Skyline for over 45 years having come from the very neighborhood in Cincinnati where it originated. The location on Miller Lane stands out as superior to the others. More quick than the others, incredible enthusiasm from manager James and the rest of the management team. Service is 11 out of 12 notches. lol. Here is the thing. I had one waitress who came across as if she could not be bothered. She was simply an order taker going through the motions. Now here is the other thing. I probably would not have noticed as she really did not do anything wrong. She just really did not do anything at all and the bar has been raised high by all the other employees which made her stand alone in her own company. Not a big deal but it is worth mentioning because when you already have achieved excellence you dont want one apple to lay a worm....the others have worked to hard for their accomplishments.
I came here to eat with my family because my brother was visiting from out of state and we wanted to go somewhere he didn’t get to enjoy where he lived.We were seated and immediately asked our drink order. Our server didn’t tell us whether there were Coke or Pepsi products served at the restaurant. We gave her our drink order, and then she immediately asked for our food order. We let her know we would be a minute because someone was in the bathroom and she said she would be back in a little while to get our order.This is where confusion and frustration took hold- we weren’t offered any sort of menu or told we wouldn’t be given a menu and should look up the menu on our phones. So, already being asked our food and drink orders without being given a chance to look at a menu was a bit off putting. After a while of our server leaving us alone we got the picture we weren’t getting a menu and we didn’t see one posted anywhere for us to order from our seats so we looked up the menu online.When our server came back for our order I asked if they still had potatoes and she said yes. I ordered and my family gave her their orders. She leaves to put it in and then comes back to tell me that they were out of the potatoes and the kitchen didn’t call it out. I told her I would just take fries instead.She brought out our order and we were given an extra coney, she offered to take it off of the bill but it really wasn’t a big deal to us and told her it was fine and not to worry about it.The food was good and my family and I did enjoy our meal.My only real concern here is the obvious lack of communication that seems to be happening in the establishment. From our server failing to communicate effectively with us and the kitchen failing to communicate to the waitstaff it seemed like there was a real lack of management for a busy Friday night.
Three times in the past month I went through the drive thru. Each time we were shorted utensils, extra crackers, hot sauce despite asking and being told wed get these items. Did the online survey on the receipt and did something unusual for me--asked to be contacted. I really like the food. Nothing in response.
Sunday afternoon around 12:30pm, this place is hopping busy! The wait staff is doing a fantastic job of keeping up with everyone. Even with the place full of people, I place my order and had my food and drink in about 5 minutes. And even with getting it so quickly, the food was top rate as I always expect from Skyline!
Skyline Chili is the bomb! They have great food, great service and this facility has been newly remodeled just recently. I hadnt been here in about 2 or 3 years, but the service is still the same. As a matter of fact its gotten better. The food is still the same great food its always been.
Terrible I called to order a pickup an they ignored an hungup the phone, ordered 4 coneys an they gave me 3 also there’s a really terrible waitress that is rude don’t know how to deal with people an the dude named Austin hungup on me an fired someone when I was there cause he was on his break when he was supposed to be
I came in today for lunch and was disappointed to say the least. In my opinion, it was not very busy. My server Madison seemed like she could not manage her time and tables very well. Maybe she was having a bad day, I dont know?That said, another employee told her that I had been waiting for service after I seated myself. Madison refilled my soda one time during my lunch. Another server who was not responsible for my table, kept my drink filled the other few times. This shouldve been handled solely by Madison but it wasnt.I ordered a large 4-way and a small side of the new mac-n-cheese -- the mac-n-cheese was room temperature if that. Personally, I do not like food that is not served hot and fresh. This is a great way to get sick and probably get sued for food poisoning.For this visit, I am rating 2 out of 5 stars because the 4-way was good and I did not have to wait very long for my meal. Madison needs to pay more attention to the customers and to her tables. The mac-n-cheese should be served hot.
If youve ever been to Steak n Shake and had their chili mac, then imagine that but even better. Thought it wrecked the intestines of one of our party (who will remain nameless) and made our hotel room unlivable for a time (2 days), we would all (including the afflicted) eat here again in a heartbeat. Great food and great service.
This is usually a clean and delicious place to eat, but when I came in for food, there wasnt a single table wiped down ready to go. Now when the restaurant is busy, I completely understand why it would be difficult to have someone clean tables quickly. However when upon entering there were only 5 other customers in the store all at the same table. Also the waitress was less than satisfactory and had a lot of attitude. I will forever go through the drive through from now on.
Skyline is definitely an emotional choice for dining while in the Dayton area. Usually we eat here a couple times during the annual Winter Guard International championships. This stop was different because there was no WGI event and we were dealing with Covid-19 adjustments. To the staff at Skyline Chili on Miller Lane...BRAVO! Excellent food, excellent service and genuinely pleasant interactions. Thank you!!
Tried Skyline for the first time after a ton of hype. The atmosphere is great, love the sit down style, and and prices are reasonable. The food is *okay*. I found the chilli to be a bit flavorless and disappointing for how hyped the brand is, but overall it was a decent experience. Would I recommend this for darn good chili? No. Would I recommend this if you want chili and its an option? Sure.
Love the good and service. Gotthere close to closing time and employees were cleaning up. They had no problem with a late order and smiled the entire time. The good was delicious and hot. Made every accommodation to make us not feel rushed out the door. Will definitely be going back!
Service with a smile and the food was served quick. Store is kept clean and ive yet to experience a dirty high chair there for our boy. Not too keen on the new crackers, but this was a company decision, not this store in general. If you want iconic chili and get in and out quickly, this is your best bet. Oh, and kids get a free dessert with a kids meal.
I dont think I have ever had anything but a good experience at all the Skyline Chilis that I have visited. The service was good, the restaurant was clean and the food is amazing! We took a new co-worker, from Connecticut, during lunch on Friday. It is always fun to see someones reaction to chili spaghetti when they have never had it before. She loved it and is excited to go back again. Well done Skyline! If I have any complaint, it would be the prices for the ice cream in the cooler at the check out.
Never had any issues other than their Large 3 way and order of chilli cheese fries is always less filled than every other skyline ive ever been to. I usually avoid this skyline if i want skyline just because i seem to get less for my money compaired to other skylines.
Since I dont live anywhere near the Cinci area, I only get to eat at Skyline twice per year: once on my way to Michigan for the Christmas holidays and once on the return home. This was the first time stopping at this particular location, and the staff was extremely outgoing and friendly. I will try to return to this particular location just because of the staff.
I was born and raised in Salt Lake City Utah and Ive lived all over the country. Im no fan of Greek style chili but, Skyline Greek salad dressing is to die for. For anyone whos actually been to Greece would agree with me that it is very authentic. So anytime Im in the tri-state area and I have a chance to get to a Skyline Chili. I always appreciate it.
Overworked, undertrained girl left to do two big tables and counter. This location ignored in store diners too long and prioritized the drive up. Food sat waiting for it to be delivered to us while our server manned the register and got go cups for a group of ten all on individual tickets. Poorly managed, first time I ever got a cold Skyline coney.
WARNING!! DINE AT YOUR OWN RISKMy friends and I ate here this afternoon, right before heading back up to Michigan after WGI finals. My car was broken into, smashing two windows and stealing all of our backpacks, laptops, and valuables. This happened around 1pm, in broad daylight, in the skyline chili parking lot right outside the front door. After filing a police report, the officer informed us that this has happened before at this location. The restaurant also informed us that there are no security cameras surveilling the parking lot, and there were no witnesses at the scene when we discovered the damage. In the middle of a large shopping area, this security dead-zone is quite the trap for those looking to get away with burglary from the unsuspecting skyline customers. You have been warned!

2022-05-20In town visiting family and stopped in here for an early lunch with my girlfriend. We were treated by a very bubbly server who took our drink order and made us feel very welcome. The entire restaurant was clean and well presented. The service was AMAZING. We received our food quickly and it was delicious. I can only hope that every dining experience that I have going forward is similar to the one that I had at this Skyline Chili!

2022-02-26As first timers from Detroit I have to admit, we were hesitant to try chili and cheese over spaghetti but overall, it was great. A special bonus, Ian the restaurant manager stopped by our table to drop off first timer gift bags. Our server Teresa was great too! A fun and unique experience!

2022-02-22I never give one star reviews, aside from maybe a waiter from socking me in the face or something, but I can’t put up with laziness or incompetence. According to “new hours” they close the dining room at 9:00pm. Doors were locked at 8:00pm.
