Great food. Classic authentic Cincinnati chili. My only complaint is it did not come with oyster crackers.

The food was delicious as always. Thank you for satisfying my addiction to your Parmesan Fries. We drive out of our way for the chili cheese dogs and fries and have never been disappointed. I’ve tried to copycat the parm fries and while they are good….they can’t compare to Gold Star’s.

It’s in the mall food court so atmosphere isn’t exclusive to the place, service was fast, small hot dog but they do load it and the flavor was good. They put all the fixings on it for just $2.79. I’d recommend..

Portion way smaller than usual. Asked for ice water and was given a bottle. Person seemed aggravated when I asked for a few more hot sauces. Love the chili though. Probably wont come back to this one.

Only good thing is the service. Prices are way to high for really poor chili. It reminds me of Skyline chili which is just terrible. Ton of spaghetti with a spritz of fake tasting chili. Ever have some of the cheap coney sauce, that is the taste. It was gritty, left a film in your mouth. Just nasty food for $$$. Go to Kroger get a can of hormel chili, even tough it’s cheap it’s better. Now that is saying something.

I have been waiting to try Cincinnati-style chili (chili on spaghetti with tons of cheese) ever since I saw it featured on one of my favorite YouTube channels, GeographyKing. It brought me back to middle school lunches but weirdly in a good way. Chili dog on the side.

Fayette Mall Location!! If I could give negative stars I would….The lady at the register was so rude. Both people in line in front of me felt she was rude. I get up to the front of the line and she said “do you want to order or not”. I really wonder how many people she has ran away cause I certainly didn’t order a thing and I’ll never go back there. I’ll stick to Hamburg location where they know how to treat their customers. Also want to add that a kids meal has a coney and tiny drink for like $5 (no fries or side) same price to just order separate. And they charged a lady for a pack of crackers that’s normally free.

You venture to the food court in the mall and you see a decent selection of place’s to eat. That’s when you look at Gold Star Chili. Awesome food both in vegetarian and meat chili. They are not stengy of the cheese and the food is always hot and fresh. Not too bad on the price.
