I mean it's better than McDonalds or Burger King for sure, but nothing to brag about. I cringe every time I see someone ask what to do in Cincinnati and the responses are ,"You have to eat at Skyline." I think people overly defend Cincinnati chili because they were taught it is something special to the area. When really it's good compared to other fast food but nothing to write home about in my opinion. I'd even go so far as to guess outsiders that try it often find it forgettable.
Kinda the same thing that people down here do for food at the Root Beer Stand. Supposedly people traveling through from all over HAVE to try a foot long from the RBS. Mom and dad took us there all the time when we were kids. I personally don't eat it anymore but the placed is packed all spring and summer long. When they open in March, you can barely get your car in the parking lot. Overrated in my opinion, but, hey, some folks swear by it. Natives will tell you if you are coming through Corbin be sure and get your picture taken outside the original Colonel Sanders restaurant and then get you a footlong and root beer at the RBS.
