Having coneys in the Coney Mall area seems quite fitting. The atmosphere was great for it. As a fan of Cincinnati-style chili, this is the perfect setting.
However, this was my second time at this location, and the chili dogs and fries have been consistently bad. The bun is really soggy, the hotdogs are tough, the chili was luke-warm, and so were the fries. The fries were overcooked, hard, dry, and somewhat hollow, and odd texture for a potato. I'm sure this is from constant reheating based on demand. For the price, you'll walk away very disappointed.
Having said all that, the staff were great, professional, working really hard, and were very fast, so I will not diminish their service. I'd give them a 5/5. My portions have been consistent both times.
If this is your first time experiencing Cincinnati chili, this is not the place to do it because you may never try it again. Ultimately, you'll be missing out on a...
Read moreThere are limited options, which is somewhat to be expected at a theme park, but it doesn't really make sense why beans aren't an option for the chili spaghetti, since the 4-way is an option and they build it in front of you. We went to the park on Monday 6/10/19 when it was a lighter attendance day, and the restaurant was a mess. There was pop and cheese and ice spilled on the customer-side of the counter, which no one moved to clean up, and nearly every table was dirty. It had obviously not been cleaned during or right after the lunch rush (we were there around 2:30pm).
The food itself was good, with generous portions. The workers at the counter were pleasant enough, it just didn't seem like it was staffed well enough for them to keep up with serving people and cleaning.
I will say it was atypical for a restaurant at the park to be as...
Read moreWhile I like Cincinnati chili, I prefer to eat it in a more relaxed environment, or at home, and close to a toilet. It's a little too much on the stomach to be amusement park food. It's hard enough to keep in hot dogs and cotton candy, but a thin, liquid-y, brown sauce (which looks like diarrhea) is going to want to come out...usually while standing in line for the Beast. Nothing worse than having to cancel your day trip because someone in your party needs to go home and change their pants. I also won't eat Skyline at KI because I've seen people touch the food with their bare hands, including the time one of the cooks had taken out the garbage, didn't wash his hands, and touched the pile of cheese on my...
