Welcome to the one and only Camp Washington Chili Parlor!

Since 1940, Camp Washington Chili has been proudly serving ”chili-heads” from Cincinnati and all over the world from the corner of Hopple and Colerain Streets, in the heart of Cincinnati’s Camp Washington neighborhood. While our secret chili recipe speaks for itself, there are other ingredients that help make Camp Washington Chili the premier chili parlor in Cincinnati. Thank you for your patronage. We look forward to serving you.


Please note: We will be closed July 2 – July 16 for family vacation.
