Camp Washington Chili

My first experience at Camp Washington Chili! Smoke free. Adjacent free parking. Although they're very busy (maybe because it's Chili week?) there was seating available. The server was prompt and knowledgeable.I ordered the "513 Melt" ... a grilled cheese with goetta and chili! It was out of this world!My friend ordered the 5 way, and it was HUGE, and delicious!

Place is clean from my observation i thought i would check it out i went to the funeral of my uncle Gene. I super introverted i want to be in the mix but i am not popular amongst family. So, I choose to be alone.. Anyway, I am not from Cincinnati so I only come to here for the Alabama Fish Bar on Liberty and Central but because there was a snow storm I didn't want to drive in the Rhine. So, a guy from the Nati suggested I go there. The Chili isn't my thing. No disrespect to the chili people of the Greater Cincinnati area but for me it's not better than Gold Star Chili and this place in Pastaskala, Ohio called the Dairy Hut the place is only seasonal.

First of all, our server Irene was kind, speedy, and knew all of our needs before we even had to ask. She split things between us and our kids without a bother and brought all of the extra utensils, straws, and napkins without a blink.The food was exceptional! Highly recommend the 513-way, the goetta added a great extra salty heartiness to the normal 5-way. The naked coney bowl was perfect for dipping their perfectly cooked fries. And my non-chili loving kids happily ate delicious spaghetti and a hamburger. At the last minute we tacked on a chocolate milkshake and an Oreo milkshake and I would absolutely order all of this food again. 10/10

While visiting Cincinnati, we made it an emphasis to try at least two chili spots. Camp Washington Chili is minutes away from the Cincinnati Museum Center and the museum allows outside food. So we ordered take-out to have as lunch at the museum. Our order for two adults and two young children were 513-way, chili melt, and French fries. The 513-way came with goetta, onion, beans, cheese, spaghetti. This was a good choice to check off both chili and goetta. The chili melt was a mess and likely one of the few times in which we had a sandwich with knife and fork. Both items were very hearty and would easily knock you out with food coma. Worth a try but grab a coffee afterwards or take a nap!

I can now check Camp Washington Chili off from Cincinnati restaurants I wanted to try. The restaurant had a cute diner feel and the service was pretty good. Unfortunately, my meal was inedible. The chili on top wasn't bad but the spaghetti noodles were so overcooked and mushy that I took a few bites and was finished.Now that I have checked them off my list, I can confidently say I won't be returning.

Camp Washington is some places I always try to stop when I'm visiting or driving through Cincinnati. The food is delicious with lots of great options. The service is friendly and it is family owned. On this occasion they were filming some kind of story on this place. The interior had a retro diner feel.

This is a classic hot dog in Cincy. Set in an old school diner vibe. Delicious every time. Great breakfasts. The sauce is the star. Get a coney or a chili Mac both outstanding. The friendliest family service! Easily my favorite spot to grab food in the city!

I don't know what the controversy is about Cincinnati-style chili. I love it! I've grown up eating other chili brands, but wanted to try something different on our recent trip. Since it's been open since 1940, this is one to try! They even have a James Beard award for being a regional classic. It is a fairly small building. We came around noon on a Thursday and the parking lot and all the seats were full. But, the servers were great and everyone got their orders quickly. I had the chili 5-way and I truly appreciated that they offered small or regular-size orders. The small size was plenty. This is a perfect stop to add to your Cincinnati bucket list.

Nostalgia brought me in to have a quick dinner. That place hasn't changed I think the chili is better than Skyline. The noodles were so overcooked I was surprised they stayed together. Friendly staff with prompt service, unless you want to use the bathroom and not a dine in customer. In this neighborhood I get it.

Had dinner late night after picking friends up from the airport. After living here my whole life it was my first visit-- pleasantly surprised We ordered lots to share-- a cheese coney, 5 way, chili cheese fries, onion rings, caesar salad, pancakes & a patty melt. The onion rings were the star, the chili cheese fries a close runner-up, the chili was not as hot as we'd hoped, but the shredded cheese was great and fluffy. Local beers were $3.75 and food prices were great!Allison our server was very friendly and very patient while we decided on what to order. We were a little disappointed we couldn't use the restroom while dining in. Overall a great late night spot- next time cheesecake is a must order, the flavors looked great!
