Dixie Chili & Deli

Hadn't been here in years and it hit the spot at 1am. Skylines other ingredients are probably a little better, but for the actual chili itself...Dixie is the best I think.

Nostalgic and 100 years old , but from there on it’s down hill. Prices are way too high for such small portions. Service was somewhat slow, and our order came out one sandwich at a time. I will go back if you are paying.

This place is a great late night stop when you’re craving Cincinnati chili. The 3-way and the chili cheese fries are bomb. The fries are waffle fries and it’s absolutely perfect.

Fantastic Cincinnati chili served in a retro and charming setting. The 6-way Chili is delicious, with the garlic providing a flavorful kick. The Greek Salad is also a solid choice to round out the meal.

Skyline who? First time here and it’s the best. Loved it!

Dixie Chili has been around since 1927 years and was opened only a few years after empress... The Newport location is the one I was taken to.by my uncle when I was a kid. I have not had it in years... but I made a point to go there cause I always remember it as DELICIOUS... AND IT WAS I visited today and we shared some stuff. You walk in order and take your tray down the line and get your drinks then food... and if it's a lil longer prep they'll tell you they bring it out to you... The Cheese Coney The overall experience is wonderful. The taste great... First thing you notice is the bun is soft and not super dense... its not like the dense dry buns from local large chains... It's not too dry not too moist.. then theres the chili... its very good and they put an ample portion on a coney "so hunch over when eating cause it could drip out the back that's a good thing" they put a light coat of onion so not overpowering.. and the mustard was just right... not too much or too sour... then thers the soft Tuft of cheese piled on top... Their chili doesn't have a spicy kick so it's just satisfying... although a lil hot sauce on it later proved to pair well with the chili like it activated the spices in your mouth for a new flavor..."I recommend try without hotsauce first" THE CHILI CHEESE FRIES ...OMG... I will say no matter where you go chili cheese fries are expensive... BUT they use WAFFLE FRIES! this was a whole new texture I never knew I needed in my life. They are crisp and the chili and cheese attop them is so good and easier to eat than others... "again try without hotsauce first" We also ordered chili cheese sandwiches so that means no hotdogs But you get more cheese and it seemed a lil more onion on them. Delicious.... oh BTW the hotdogs in the coneys where dense they tatsed and had mouth feel of a good quality wiener. We had to try a side of Gyro meat cause at this point we where getting full and couldn't do a full gyro... cause from what we saw they are a decent size. So a side with a side of Taziki... The meat was very good and the taziki is outstanding with the meat... We of course got the large drinks with the plastic cup to take home... I want to go back and have their 3 and 4 way... one thing I was impressed with was the oyster crackers... Westminster Bakers Co. Is the brand they have and It literally is a game changer... They have a subtle density and crispness that doesn't instantly turn mushy in soup, chili, or Cincinnati chili.... Another reason I need to come back... Also they are not cheap... a big bag is twice the price of other brands.... that is for good reason... I swear whole foods is gonna catch on to how many small packs I take when I get their soup lol... that brand of oyster Cracker is the bomb... So if you like quality... dixi chili does it right... and personally I think it should be Dixie Chili and empress chili fighting for dominance... not goldstar and skyline... There are four chilli places I think that are better than those two brands .... cause skyline ain't it especially on quality lately... they buns too dry...

The 6 way chili was pretty good, but the garlic might be too much if you're not a huge fan of garlic. The chili dip was great.

For what it was - it was great. The cheese coney I ordered hit the spot and everyone at the front was very sweet and provided fantastic service during our order. Will return if I ever crave some Cincinnati style chili while downtown again - especially since I liked it more than Skyline - more turned down on the spices and mild enough to pair with the coney.
