"Gold Star is the other major chili chain in Cincinnati, founded by the four Daoud brothers. After immigrating from Jordan, the quartet bought the restaurant Hamburger Heaven in Mount Washington in 1965 and shifted the restaurant’s focus to its preexisting chili recipe. Now run by the son of one of the original founders, Roger David, Gold Star has expanded to 70 locations and offers unique dishes like the Gorito, a flour tortilla wrapped around chili, cheddar, chipotle ranch dressing, and Fritos. Gold Star also offers a vegetarian chili using Beyond Meat." - Andy Brownfield

Loved this location! I used to visit when it was across the street so long ago. This new one has a very nice staff and the restaurant is kept very clean and welcoming. The 3 Way was exactly as great as ever and it comes in three sizes! The Cheese Coneys are tasty too.

I had to wait in the drive-through for a long time while they had 4 staff members working 1 order in the dining room that wasn't busy. when I recieved my food after eating most of it, it had a long black hair in it. I called the manager on duty And all he could say is I apologize in a very nonchalant way and had no concern. He might as well have said what do you want me to do about it? I've been to this location quite a few times and the food and quality has recently been getting bad and now this. Never going back

Extremely friendly and helpful staff, the food is very fresh and is quality. However everything on the menu is at least $1 more than it should be, it adds up quick and makes it difficult to justify coming here often. The portions are very small. The hotdogs don't even make the length of the bun and the drinks are much smaller than most other places. I like it but it's just so expensive and it doesn't feel like what you get for it is worth it. Also don't know why my burger bun had chunks missing out of it.

Gold star is a good place to get a chilli cheese sandwich... although sometimes this location has skimped on chilli and tonight was another skimpy night... I mean it's a chilli cheese sandwich... Don't skimp on the chilli...."see pic..." I thought a chilli cheese was cheese chilli then cheese... in this case it was scant amount of chilli and some cheese.. An even better place for chilli cheese fries as they have crinkle cut fries. Never disappointed with this goldstar

Not happy with gold star today got 2 reg 5 ways the girl who waited on me wasn't to bad but apparently they don't know how much chili to put on there hardly any chili on it very disappointing I have to say figured I'd give it another chance even though a few months ago we got the same thing and the spaghetti was chopped up and water logged I won't be back there again.

Just ordered cones with the Habenero cheese. The cheese had a sour smell. Very disappointing. Never again.

All the workers there were so kind, friendly, helpful, greeted us, blessed us and had RARE excellent service! The food was all fresh and yummy. First time visiting this location and we will be back!

One word. Incompetence. The drive thru is exceedingly slow and they get the orders wrong or leave things out. I had to ask for crackers and got 1 pack - then got home to find out there was no cheese for my 3-Way. Not worth the drive back to deal with that again. I will just go to Skyline instead - they actually have competent employees even of many of them are high school kids. Maybe Gold Star should study their model and make some changes. And to make it just that much better, calling the phone number listed on the receipt just gives a busy signal - so you can't even call to get a refund.
