Skyline Chili Menu Prices 2026: 3-Way, 4-Way & 5-Way
Skyline Chili menu centers on the 3-Way, 4-Way, and 5-Way, priced by size, alongside Coneys, burritos, and catering. A Regular 3-Way runs about $10.49 in 2026, with most items priced between $1.50 and $14.
What Does “3-Way” Actually Mean?
A 3-Way is spaghetti, chili, and shredded cheddar; add onions for a 4-Way, add beans for a 5-Way — the standard naming across Cincinnati-style chili, a thinner sauce served over pasta or hot dogs rather than in a bowl.
A Bit of Skyline History
Founded in 1949 by Greek immigrant Nicholas Lambrinides in Cincinnati’s Price Hill, Skyline still uses a secret family recipe and holds official-chili status with the Bengals, Reds, and FC Cincinnati — hence the “FC Cincinnati Soccer Ball” on the menu.

| Hot Dog | $1.48 |
| Hot Dog with Cheese | $2.35 |
| Coney | $3.41 |
| Cheese Coney | $3.53 |

A Coney is a hot dog topped with chili, mustard, and onions. Add cheese and it becomes a Cheese Coney — the item Skyline is best known for, alongside the 3-Way.

How to Save Money at Skyline Chili
- Order Chili Spaghetti instead of a 3-Way if you don’t need the cheese — it’s about $1.40–$2 cheaper at every size.
- Skip the Large size on Ways unless you’re genuinely hungry — the price jump from Regular to Large is close to $3.
- Choose a Coney over a Cheese Coney for a small, easy discount if you’re ordering several.
- Feed a group with a catering package instead of separate orders once you’re past 15–20 people — the per-person cost drops noticeably.
- Watch for local coupons and app deals, which change by season and location more than the base menu does.
