CINCINNATI – The best time of the year is nearly here, Cincinnati chili fans! Cincinnati Chili Week is back for a second year – and Gold Star is celebrating with fabulous meal deals all week long and a grand prize worth its weight in chili.
Beginning Monday, Feb. 24, Gold Star will offer chili-lovers $5, $6 and $7 deals, including two cheese coneys for $5, a regular 3-, 4- or 5-Way for $6 or a Single Chili Burger with delicious crinkle cut fries for just $7. However, those who really love Cincinnati’s signature dish will want to take advantage of their chance to be one of 10 lucky individuals to win free chili for an entire year!
And there’s more!
On National Chili Day, Thursday, Feb. 27, an additional 50 lucky chili lovers will get the chance to win free chili for a year from Gold Star President and CEO Roger David. Roger will personally hand out these extra special gifts throughout the day in honor of a holiday that is uniquely Cincinnati. Guests can follow along with Roger’s journey to various Gold Star locations and get clues on which locations he will visit by tuning in to Gold Star’s social media channels.
“The inaugural Cincinnati Chili Week was a smashing success in celebrating the dish that was, is and shall forever be the staple dish of Gold Star,” David said. “What better way is there to celebrate its return for a second year than by upping the ante and giving away even more free chili in 2025? We look forward to bringing smiles to people’s faces as we surprise and delight them On National Chili Day. We can’t wait to see the chili love flowing throughout the Queen City.”
Gold Star hours for Cincinnati Chili Week vary by location; participating Gold Star restaurants will make the deal available for both lunch and dinner. The deal will be available via dine-in, drive-thru and carryout, where applicable.

ABOUT GOLD STAR
At Gold Star, we’ve been serving our guests delicious Cincinnati-style Chili since 1965 when the Daoud brothers bought a restaurant in the Cincinnati neighborhood of Mt. Washington. They wanted to make chili the right way: always fresh, never frozen and made in small batches to ensure quality. Crafted from our founders’ secret family recipe of 13 perfectly blended spices to make Cincinnati’s classic chili favorites
the Cheese Coney, and 3-, 4- and 5-Way Chili Spaghetti. Our menu offers something to make everyone happy from fresh grilled-to-order burgers, southern-style chicken sandwiches, vegetarian chili, double-decker deli sandwiches to loaded French fries, hand-tossed salads and 100% real ice cream shakes. It may not be what you would expect from a neighborhood chili parlor, but we’re not big on labels anyway. We invite all of our guests to come as you are, like what you like, and follow your own recipe.
Today, Gold Star has 65 corporate- and franchise-owned locations throughout Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana and is actively developing new franchise opportunities in the region.
