Throwback Thursday to the next generation of Camp Washington Chili lovers 🍝💛

Maria’s daughter has been holding down her chili order since day one — and somehow making a 3-Way look even more iconic in the process. Some things around here never change: family, tradition, and a plate of noddles and chili covered in cheese. 🌭🧀

05/26/2026

When friends come to chili town, there’s always one moment that turns into a full Cincinnati experience: stretching the cheese on a bowl of chili like it’s French onion soup… except better. 🧀🌭

Only in Cincinnati do you judge a chili bowl by the cheese pull. And honestly? We think this one speaks for itself.

Hungry for the 513 Way yet?❤️

Our classic 5-way topped with Cincinnati goetta. Two hometown staples layered into one plate and served the same way we’ve been doing things for generations.

No gimmicks. Just Cincinnati tradition done right.

Beautiful day, work in the works, and the chili still tastes just as good as it did generations ago. ❤️

Another day at Camp Washington Chili — where the doors stay open, the regulars keep coming in, and Cincinnati history keeps getting served one plate at a time since 1940.

Some things around here may evolve over the years, but the feeling of walking into Camp never really changes.

The 513 Melt 🥪❤️

Crispy bread, melty cheese, Cincinnati chili, and goetta all stacked together in one ridiculously good bite.

Comfort food the Cincinnati way. See you in for lunch this week!

HAPPY 513 DAY CINCINNATI ❤️

There are a lot of ways to celebrate this city, but sitting down to a loaded 3-way, a couple coneys, a cold local beer, and a bag of Grippo’s at Camp Washington Chili feels pretty Cincinnati to us.

Since 1940, this community has kept our doors open, our booths full, and our chili flowing. Every regular, every late-night stop, every family tradition, every out-of-towner brought in for their “first real Cincinnati chili experience” — that’s what 513 Day is all about.

Proud to be part of the fabric of this city for generations and even prouder to serve the people that make Cincinnati what it is.

Now go grab yourself a 3-way today. It’s basically the law. ❤️

Always special getting to welcome friends into Camp Washington Chili for their very first visit. ❤️

Maria had some longtime friends stop by the restaurant this week to finally experience Camp together — good conversation, lots of laughs, and of course plenty of chili on the table.

Moments like this are what this place has always been about. Community, friendship, and sharing a Cincinnati staple with the people you care about most.

People always ask what makes Camp Washington Chili hit different… and it starts right here.

Fresh meat. Ground daily. By our people.

No shortcuts. No mass prep. No “we’ll get to it later.” This happens every single morning—because if it’s not fresh, it’s not leaving our kitchen.

You can see it. You can taste it. You know exactly what you’re getting in every bite.

Chili is soul food—it’s not pretending to be anything else. But that doesn’t mean the ingredients shouldn’t be real, honest, and done the right way. And that’s how we’ve always done it.

We’re open. Like… really open.

24 hours a day, 6 days a week — because chili cravings don’t wait, and neither do we. Whether it’s your go-to 3-way, a loaded plate, or that first bite you’ve been thinking about all day, there’s always chili ready for you at Camp Washington Chili.

Same corner. Same recipes. Same chili that’s been bringing people in for generations. Sit down, take it all in, and enjoy a Cincinnati staple that never slows down.
