Their menu features classic chili dishes like Cheese Coney and 3-, 4-, and 5-Way Chili Spaghetti, along with a variety of other options such as grilled burgers, chicken sandwiches, vegetarian chili, deli sandwiches, loaded fries, salads, and ice cream shakes. Unlike many chili parlors, Gold Star offers a diverse menu that caters to different tastes. The company aims to provide a welcoming atmosphere where guests can enjoy their food in a relaxed setting. With 70 locations across Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, Gold Star is also expanding through new franchise opportunities.
