Skyline Chili 5706 Mayfield Rd., Lyndhurst The closure on the Lyndhurst store at the end of December, coupled with the 2019 shuttering of the Skyline Chili location in Brooklyn, has made Northeast Ohio a serious Cincinnati chili desert. After the first of the year, the closest location will be Stow (4127 Bridgewater Pkwy., 330-940-3929). 137 restaurants out there and zero in Cleveland. Credit: Photo courtesy Skyline Chili
When the Skyline Chili location in Brooklyn closed in July, Cleveland-area chili-topped spaghetti fans were rightly saddened. The restaurant had been at Ridge Park Square for decades, only to unceremoniously lose its lease.

At the time, Skyline officials did say they wanted to open a new spot in 2020. Now the city of Brooklyn is confirming that plans for new construction are moving forward.

“Currently they’re planning a 3,400-square-foot, single-story building with drive-thru on a one-acre lot behind the La Casa Tequila Mexican on Tiedeman Road,” Brooklyn Building Commissioner Dave Kulcsar told Cleveland.com

The new property isn’t expected to be built until after winter.

In the meantime, there are plenty of Ohio locations left for you to get your Skyline fix, including in Stow and Lyndhurst. But for the sake of your waistline, don’t try and eat 1,000 coneys in one year. That’s probably too many.
