Camp Washington Chili
We are located on the corner of Hopple & Colerain in the historic neighborhood of Camp Washington just a few minutes north of downtown Cincinnati and offer dine-in, carry-out, and drive-thru services. We are open Monday through Friday 24 hours a day, open until 4:00pm on Saturdays, and closed on Sundays. We've been serving our famous chili since 1940 and have received national recognition such as a James Beard Award, appearances on the Food Network, Travel Channel, and Cooking Channel. The Smithsonian named us one of the top 20 iconic restaurants in the country. We've been featured in Bon Appetit, Rachael Ray Magazine, The New York Times, People Magazine, and countless other publications. Our staff makes the chili daily with only the freshest and highest quality ingredients which customers enjoy on top of burgers, omelettes, and fries or simply in a bowl with cheddar cheese and oyster crackers. You must stop by and try our popular cheese coneys and 3-ways....the best in Cincinnati!
