Camp Washington Chili is one of Cincinnati’s crown jewels and his been a tradition since 1940 winning many awards for their great food. With that being said, i don’t get a chance to stop by all that often but when we do we always look for a great food experience for sure. On this particular visit in October 2025 my wife and i arrived around the 10:15 am to 10:30 am hour. From the outside this place looks so amazing and when you enter the neon lights set this place off. With its 50’s retro tables and chairs and the walls filled with great memorabilia, it certainly makes you feel welcome. On this rain morning we wanted to stop in to check out their breakfast of which they did not disappoint. My wife enjoyed the scrambled eggs with a side of toast which was presented to our table steaming hot. For me it was a classic double decker of ham and turkey on white bread. The servings are more than generous as compared to some other restaurants for sure so the portion size on this day was appreciated. If you get a chance be sure to check out all the articles, photos and media accolades that acknowledge this Cincinnati favorite. Camp Washington Chili is open 24 hours a day except when they close on Sundays, for time with family.

I waited 22 minutes for a tuna sandwich and fries. I won’t be going back anytime soon took up my whole lunch break, and I called the order in prior to coming they were serving everybody else ordered that came after me. I had to go up to the counter and ask them about my tuna sandwich. Three other people that came after me got their food before I did…. Tuna sandwich and fries was 3/5 stars it was tasty but nothing to keep going back .

Classic spot for Cincinnati-style chili! Rich, bold flavor with a nice coarse beef texture. Loved the three-way over spaghetti, and the retro diner vibe makes it even better. Open 24/6 – perfect for any time you’re craving chili.

Happy to have experienced a Cincinnati chili experience (beside Skyline).
However, the nostalgia ran thin quickly.
Food was 100% as expected and desired.
However, the restaurant needs to pay their AC bill. It was uncomfortably hot. Making it equally uncomfortable was seeing the staff actively complaining and sweating during service. Either close until repaired, or manage your staff. Paying guests shouldn’t be exposed during service.
I am happy to experience, but one and done for this Cincinnati tourist.

I absolutely their chili, I always get a 5 way when I’m there.. I enjoyed the Onion Rings and I tried their Oreo milkshake and it was very light on the oreos.. it seemed liked they only used 1 Oreo and ground it to dust… The service could have been a lot better..they weren’t busy at all and it took way too long to get my food…

A cincinnati classic, they have all the great classic diner food in a clean 50’s style. the cincinnati style chili they have is a taste closer to normal chili then skyline chili

Great customer service, and food was good. I like the chili hotdog, the atmosphere brings you back to the 50s. Also, it’s very convenient because it’s open 24hours. The prices are reasonable too

We have had Gold Star and Skyline and Gold star is our favorite of those two but wanted to try some non chain locations to see which one we felt was best. Out of the 4 we tried and adding the 2 chains, Camp Washington was not our favorite. It would rank 6th for us. The exterior was uninviting at the drive through area. Could use some cleaning. Service was okay. However, the sauce tastes like beer which for none beer drinkers it’s not appealing but that wasn’t the deal breaker. Bun was sooo soggy you couldn’t pick it up to eat. My bread and hotdog ended up being eaten separately as it fell completely apart. I’m being very generous with the stars.

Probably the best chili in Cincinnati. The chili cheese fries were amazing. I ordered a cheese coney and it was probably one of the best I’ve had. I noticed they had a wide array of desserts including pie and ice cream. Next time I’ll be sure to try a chocolate vanilla swirl as it looked tasty. We will be back!
