“ Quick but not very friendly. Went to the drive thru and the cashier handed me my loose change and several hot sauce packets in the same fist dropped some of my loose change on the ground and did not offer to replace it. ”
“ We did the burger week burger and seriously one of the best burgers ever. Very caught off guard. Wonderful! ”
“ The special of $10.99 for 3 cheese coneys with a drink seemed appealing and the food tasted great. The coneys are rather small. Drive thru is always a longer wait than dining in. ”
“ We stopped in for burger week. It was a great way to feed the family on a budget. The food was great and service was friendly. ”
“ Burger week was from 7/7/25-7/13/25 and Gold Star was one of the places that was participating, so I decided to go there in my lunch break and try one. Honestly, y'all, I did not expect this burger to be SOO FRESH and FLAVORFUL I didn't know they sold burger first of all. It was freshly cooked and seasoned nicely. The toppings on the burger were fresh, and crisp. The fries were hot, not burnt or overcooked. The combo was 8$ for the burger, fries, and large drink. I was totally satisfied. If you missed out on burger week, mark your calendars for next yr and go check them out. ”
“ My wife and I took 4 family members who live in New Jersey and California and had never eaten Cincinnati Chili to the Gold Star restaurant at 4544 Reading Road, Cincinnati for lunch on Tuesday, June 24. It was a totally wonderful experience. The manager and server were incredibly hospitable and welcoming and made everyone feel at home, explaining the menu and even bringing bibs to protect our clothes. We had 3-Ways, 4-Ways, 5-Ways, Cheese Coneys, and a Vegetarian 3-Way for my sister who doesn’t eat meat. She loved it! As always, the food was delicious and the service impeccable. They are all now “fans” of this great delicacy. Thanks to all at the store for making it special. ”
“ The inside closes early because of the neighborhood..... it's not good. I went through the drive thru and there were questionable people milling around in the lot and around the area..... Food and drive thru service was constant with other locations, good and pleasant. ”

About
Gold Star - 4544 Reading Rd
Welcome to Gold Star - 4544 Reading Rd, a Cincinnati culinary gem that serves up a delightful fusion of comfort and tradition. Located at 4544 Reading Rd, this establishment is a must-visit for anyone craving a hearty meal, especially if you're a fan of classic American-Chinese fare.
Gold Star is renowned for its vibrant menu that prominently features the iconic Gold Star Chili. Whether you're in the mood for a spicy chicken sandwich or the classic chicken bacon ranch sandwich, there's something to satisfy every palate. The side of fries that accompanies these sandwiches is the perfect crunchy counterpart, priced at just $9.19 for both the spicy and classic options, and $11.49 for the chicken bacon ranch option.
The salads at Gold Star deserve mention as well. While the prices are appealingly low (some salads even come at $0.00), you’ll find a refreshing mix that includes the Harvest Pecan Chicken Salad and the ever-popular Chili Salad. Coupled with delicious extras, such as Grippo's Regular Chips for $2.59, this location serves up an impressive array of dishes that invite you to enjoy more than just a quick meal.
While the quality of the food is notable, customer reviews shed light on the service experience. Many patrons, like Gladys Storms-Fairley, rave about the exceptional customer service, particularly praising staff members like Kristina for her friendly and informative demeanor. Meanwhile, others have experienced ups and downs, like Tashia Harris, who had a less than friendly interaction during the drive-thru.
For those looking to indulge, the popular $10.99 special for three cheese coneys with a drink offers great value. However, be prepared for slightly smaller portions and a longer wait at the drive-thru compared to the welcoming ambiance of dining in, as noted by customer Tracey Pleasant.
As you explore the vibrant offerings of Gold Star at 4544 Reading Rd, you’ll find not just a meal but a community of flavors that reflect Cincinnati’s rich culinary heritage. With reasonably prices and notable quality, it’s a place worth visiting again and again. So, gather your friends and family, and treat yourself to a memorable dining experience!
