Cincy's Downtown

Cincy's Downtown has been a beloved Greensboro institution since 1986, making it the city's longest-running restaurant in Downtown Greensboro at 115 E. February One Place. This family-owned gem was founded by a Cincinnati native and is now proudly operated by Bonnie Kays, who continues the tradition of serving authentic Cincinnati-style chili that has captivated taste buds for over three decades. Unlike the typical Southern chili you might find throughout North Carolina, Cincy's signature dish features a complex Greek-inspired recipe with savory hints of unexpected spices that create a rich, comforting flavor profile customers describe as absolutely addictive. The restaurant offers much more than just their famous chili, serving up delicious burgers, sandwiches, soups, and salads that keep locals coming back week after week. Open Wednesday through Friday from 11am to 2pm, this cozy lunch spot accommodates both walk-in guests and small groups, though they encourage large parties to call ahead. They provide delivery within a one-mile radius with a $10 minimum order and 20% delivery charge, plus full catering services for events of any size. The private dining room seats up to 60 guests and can be reserved for birthday parties and special occasions. Payment is convenient with all major credit cards accepted. Whether you're a first-time visitor curious about what makes Cincinnati chili so unique or a regular craving their signature dish, Cincy's Downtown offers an authentic taste of the Midwest right in the heart of Greensboro, North Carolina.
