Every lineup has a fan favorite.

Around here, it’s usually the 513 Melt! Especially on a busy lunch day!

Packed with Cincinnati flavor and earning its spot one bite at a time. We’d say we’re surprised… but we’re really not.

Twenty-six years ago, Camp Washington Chili received one of the highest honors in American food: a James Beard Award.

Today, we’re still humbled by it.

In 2000, Camp Washington Chili was recognized in the America’s Classics category, honoring legendary, locally owned restaurants that have stood the test of time and reflect the character of their communities. To this day, we remain Cincinnati’s only permanent James Beard Award recipient.

Awards are special, but what we’re most grateful for is the community that has supported us through every bowl, every coney, and every year since 1940.

Thank you, Cincinnati. Here’s to carrying on the tradition.

Yesterday, we had the honor of welcoming a true Cincinnati legend through our doors. 🥊

Tony “T.N.T.” Tubbs, former heavyweight boxing champion and one of Cincinnati’s most accomplished athletes, stopped by Camp Washington Chili for a visit. Known for his incredible career in the ring and his lasting impact on the sport, Tony remains a hometown icon whose accomplishments continue to make Cincinnati proud.

It’s always special when local legends stop in, and moments like these remind us how fortunate we are to be a gathering place for generations of Cincinnatians. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a familiar face, every guest becomes part of the story here at Camp.

Thank you, Tony, for stopping by and spending some time with us. We loved having you in and look forward to seeing you again soon. 🥊🌭

A wild find and a piece of Camp Washington history. 👀

This photo was taken in 1961, and if you look closely on the right side of the image, you’ll spot our original Camp Washington Chili location. So much has changed around Cincinnati over the decades, but we’re proud to still be serving the same community from the same neighborhood we’ve called home for generations.

These kinds of finds never get old.

If you have old photos of Camp Washington Chili, the neighborhood, or memories you’d like to share, we’d love to see them. Tag us, send them our way, and help us preserve a little piece of Cincinnati history.

Some people count sheep. We count coneys.

And this tray is looking pretty good right about now. 😍
