About this business
Empress Chili was the first company to serve Greek Chili and Coneys in Cincinnati. Tom and John Kiradjeff came to the United States from Greece and opened a hotdog stand next to the Empress Theater in 1922. Eventually, the hot dog stand evolved into Empress Chili, and we have been serving quality secret-recipe chili ever since.

This younger generations will be the death of this world. You can’t see it in the picture but the 4th worker was across from the girls.
RecommendedGreat food and service was a good time
Don’t worry about them making your food right or fast . They just more concerned about themselves on their phones .
People that work here are so nice and friendly really like the pizza.
Good chili! Great community support!
Good people, great food.
My favorite Cincinnati style chili place on the Kentucky side of the river. Great portions and prices.
