Always great food. Just don’t be in a rush cause they cook when you order it. It may be a little slow but more than makes up for it in quality!

If you like cheese counties shakes and burgers and five ways this place is the bomb. Brings me back to my days of running around Cincy

It’s been awhile since we have been there. But they had great customer service. Very clean and well maintained. Liked how they served Gold Star and burgers. We recommend you try it out.

The food was just okay this time. Gold Star is usually my favorite place to eat. Some of the noodles were hard and it just didn’t taste the same. They need to hire more servers, one girl was working the whole restaurant. She was very polite, but I honestly won’t be going back.

A very nice locally owned family franchise. Very clean, very friendly, and very well operated. We love the fresh salads, but the decker sandwiches are excellent too.

The service was amazing – I would eat there again just based on the service. I had the chili 5 way which is chili over the top of spaghetti with onions, beans, and cheese which was very similar to Skyline but really good. I think a little mustard would have been great on it also. I had a coney dog also which was ok but I am a little add spoiled being from Detroit and having grown up on National Coney Islands. Gold Star Chili is definitely worth stopping at.

The food was good. We can’t get Gold Star in Nebraska. Had the Three Way and a couple of Coney cheese dogs!

Honestly, probably the worst experience I’ve ever had at a Gold Star chili. I got what they’re known for. Three chili cheese Coney’s. It took them four and a half minutes to take my order in the drive-thru. I was the only person in the drive-thru, there was no one else dining in. Literally the only customer. It took them another 4 minutes to get my order ready. Upon opening the tray the hot dogs were saturated in Chile and when I attempted to eat them the buns disintegrated resulting in a pile of chili hot dog cheese and disintegrated bun goo. Completely inedible. Do better Gold Star.

I had not eaten a single thing in 2 days until I bought my cheese coney! That could be the reason why it was the best coney I have ever had! Or, it could just be the best cheese coney I had ever had. Either way, it was delicious!

Just paid way too much for what was supposed to be a milkshake. I was bragging about how great they are at Gold Star to my husband. What I was handed was a watery glob of ice cream. If the machine is broken just be like McDonalds and say so instead of charging me nearly 10$ for something I can’t drink.
