Truly one of the best Gold Star locations! Always fast and SO friendly. Such great customer service. Chili is always good, burgers are great, chicken sandwiches are great. Can’t say enough good things about this location. Luckily I work nearby so I will continue to visit regularly!

I can’t say enough great things about this place. It’s my absolute favorite, and I visit quite frequently. I didn’t realize Gold Star had cheeseburgers until a few years ago, when my husband brought some home for dinner, along with milkshakes. As an amateur cheeseburger connoisseur, I initially had my doubts, but was pleasantly surprised- It was one of the best cheeseburgers I ever had and boy, was I hooked!
The burger platters also come with crinkle fries, which can be upgraded to chili cheese fries, among other options. The milkshakes are made the old fashioned way with real ice cream, so please tip if you can (especially in the drive thru) because they’re hand-dipped and a little time-consuming. Also, I loved that they were donating proceeds from every milkshake purchase to a charity for children for some time
Speaking of kiddos, children eat free on Tuesday nights (I believe it’s dine-in with the purchase of an adult entree, not sure about exact details). You can also download the Gold Star Chili app on your phone for points that add up quickly with lots of rewards and freebies. It’s totally worth signing up for.
If you decide to dine-in, you’ll see they keep this place very clean. I’ve been a regular customer for now than a few years now, and I’ve also noticed the employees are compassionate about their job, and the employee turnover is seemingly low, which is impressive, especially for a fast food environment. That in itself, speaks volumes about how awesome the owner must be. All these details define strong characteristics of great integrity and genuine compassion for people. It’s so refreshing to see such stewardship in today’s society and it makes my heart full.
The employees here have become almost like family to me. I’ve never had a bad experience and they’ve always treated me well. I look forward to seeing them in the mornings after a long night shift at the hospital, because they always make my day brighter.
Sometime this past summer, I came through the drive thru, after a long night shift at the hospital. It was a Sunday morning right at opening time. I was exhausted, hungry, and ready for bed. One of the managers (Erin) took my debit card to pay and it declined, due to a fraud alert hold placed on my account ***Didn’t know this at the time***.
I was so embarrassed and fell to pieces. I started crying uncontrollably because I had no idea what was going on and felt anxious because I couldn’t call my bank on a Sunday morning. Erin was so patient, calm, and kindly offered to pay for my meal (out of her own pocket), after she saw I was a distraught mess on the verge of a panic attack. She sat with me, helped ease my anxiety, and made sure I was okay to drive home. It was a terrible felling, but my heart was full of gratitude. I figured out the issue with my bank the following day, I went back and tried to give money back to her, which she kindly refused, but agreed to put the money in the tip jar for the staff. What she said next touched my heart, “I would never let anyone in need drive away hungry.”
We desperately need more people like Erin in this world today. She’s an extremely valuable asset to your company, and I’ll never forget what she did for me. Her beautiful heart and amazing energy are contagious. She spreads light and love and you’re so blessed to have her. I witnessed her integrity, morals, and loyalty first hand. Her act of kindness meant so much to me, that it’s taken me a long time to write this to express the brevity of my gratitude. If it were up to me, I would multiply her salary by three. Honest employees like her are extremely rare, and her good stewardship is truly priceless. If she did that for me, imagine how many other’s hearts she’s touched that you’re unaware of, because people don’t have the time. She deserves great acknowledgement and many, many Kudos! God bless you, Erin. Don’t let anyone take your sunshine away Thank you for all you do.
Keep up the great work and I’ll see you all very soon! God bless

Gold Star has some of the best great tasting chili!!! As a native Texan we do not have Gold Star restaurants in our great state. If we did, I would definitely make it one of my favorite places to eat. This location is very clean inside and outside as well. This Gold Star is located in a busy intersection and its means of egress is very accessible to the major highway. I highly recommend Gold Chili for your next meal if you are craving chili.

If you haven’t tried their burgers yet, you are really missing out. This has nothing to do with Cincinnati-style chili. The type of burgers are thin and are somewhat like Freddy’s, but much better. Now for a little about chili. As far as chili goes, the cheese coneys at Gold Star are the best Cincinnati-style I’ve had. I like all the ones I’ve had, but this ranks #1 for me. Try the burgers if you haven’t – and if you have then I hope you enjoy your next one like I will! The crinkle cut fries are great, too!

Had a burger and a Coney tonight. It’s still great!

Got a double cheeseburger and fries for dinner. Still at the top of the heap for fast food burgers.

Arrived just before 12 pm. Super friendly staff, fast service and great food. The coneys are the best in the area. Must try the bacon chili cheese fries as well. If you have a sweet tooth, the shakes are amazing. I recommend the strawberry shortcake shake!
I even placed a to go order for my dog to have a couple plain hot dogs and no one batted an eye or looked at me weird. Zero(my dog) says they were perfect!

Service was a bit slow, one server maybe she was new, only one other table.. expensive for actual amount, otherwise fine

It was ok. Everyone was nice but the food was lukewarm at best. It should at least be hot. The fries were hot and fresh but the chili and spaghetti were about the same temperature as the cheese, room temperature.

Got a cheeseburger from here (shut up – yes I know it’s a Cincinnati chili spot so I also got coneys) and honestly, probably one of the better burgers I’ve had in a while. Compared to other burger places, this Goldstar location and their burgers just hit the spot. Forgot to order no cheese for my wife and she hates cheeseburgers. She inhaled the cheeseburger I brought her. Anyway. See y’all tomorrow. Bye
