Cincinnati Chilibomb in Hackney

Has anyone been here lately? We’ve made two trips now on a Saturday and it sadly wasn’t open, even though the website says open at noon. Anyone have any insight on Saturday opening times? Need my Cincinnati Chili fix!!!!

Locale davvero carino e cibo ottimo. Da provare il chilibomb meat. Ottima anche la musica. Personale cortese e disponibile. Da provare

If you are looking for a tasty filling meal in Shoreditch then you have to come here! I had the chilli dog and chips, absolutely delicious, big portion (which is hard to come by in this area) and affordable prices! Havent seen anywhere like this nearby either. Adam is so kind and provided excellent service. Highly recommend!

We stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant and were delighted by the lovely staff, unique and delicious menu options, and casual setting. Adam was helping us and he felt like a friend by the end of the meal having been so accommodating and attentive to our group of 10 (yes, we brought 10 people in and they were so welcoming!). Highly recommend everything on the menu - it is all homemade with amazing flavor and high quality ingredients! We'll all be back!

Owners Adam & Tim have taken the Cincinnati Chili taste made famous (and mainstream) by Skyline, Gold Star and others to another level. Certainly has the baseline of familiarity (cinnamon, chocolate) but the meat is such good quality and certainly some extra, well placed spices bring the taste to a different level. Diners are provided with a rack of syringes containing hot sauces ranging from from soft kick to blow off the roof. Nice selection of beers on tap as well as cocktails, wine and cyder.

It was superb food. Very tasty. Team was very friendly. Hosting was awesome and I really feel like someone is offering food with care and love. I would prefer to go there again.

We had such a good evening here, wanted the whole menu but will have to come back to try the rest! Oxtail chilibomb - insanely good, home cooked style American indulgence. Tim the owner is so friendly and welcoming too. Plus good beers on tap and a nice whisky selection on the bar! Beware the chilli vodka shots - although a fun experience if you're brave. Will be back asap!

What an amazing little place. Our server was fantastic and explained everything to us about the restaurant origin, the chilli oil syringes the menu, the chilli’s heat and even gave his personal recommendations (which was the chilli dog and it was my personal favourite too) The good was absolutely gorgeous snd we will definitely return when we are in the area. Awesome 😊😊😊😊

Fantastic atmosphere , great place to visit with friends and service was first class too- very attentive and made sure our visit was as good as could have been! food ticked all boxes too! Defo worth a visit.

One of the best restaurants. The service and food are great. I will be happy to visit this restaurant again. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Tim allowed me to hire out the whole restaurant for my birthday party and it was such a success!!! The restaurant catered for 35 people with absolutely delicious corn ribs, halloumi fries, chicken wings and mini chili bombs for everyone. The staff went above and beyond to make it such a fun night with music and dancing til close. A massive thank you for being such an accommodating, joyful and all round 10/10 restaurant. Would recommend to anyone!!!

We found this fab place wondering the back streets of Liverpool Street station. Great people and we will definitely be back for the chilli bomb. ♥️

CCB is a new venture from an old London restaurant hand, Tim Brice (River Café, Kensington Place, Joe Allen, etc), who is no poseur. He spent years in Cincinnatti when his father worked there. He knows whereof he cooks. Sadly, in my view, he does not serve his otherwise authentic Cincinnati chilli as it is served in its home town — atop spaghetti. He thinks this might confuse Brits into comparing it with spag-bol. So he serves it (there are meat and vegetarian versions) either in small iron marmites or on brioche buns. It’s good, rich, and not especially spicy; however, one can add as much heat as one likes using chilli infusions that range from mild to ferocious. Sides include sweet potato and normal spud fries, coleslaw, corn on the cob, as well as various salads. There are a few unadventuresome desserts (brownies, ice creams, etc), which I didn’t try. There is a limited version of a full bar, but what there is is well considered. Nothing is very expensive, but as everything is a la carte it can mount up. I had a large Campari and side, a marmite of meat chilli, a couple of sides, and a beer. Total: £29. Tim is ambitious, ebullient, and eager to please. My guess is what is already good will progress further as he takes onboard his customers’ suggestions. This both one to try now and one to watch in future.

Excellent food and friendly service in a nice environnement. Original food experience with a bit of spicy potion on the top!

I was born and raised in Cincinnati and now live in London. Cincinnati Chilibomb is a welcome arrival to the London restaurant scene. The quality of the food, drink and atmosphere is first rate. The signature Chilibomb is a brilliant fusion of Cincinnati chili meets Sloppy Joe - lots of chili and cheese on delicious brioche. My friend had an amazing vegan “cheese coney” chili dog. The sides are also excellent - we had the corn on the cob “ribs”(wow) as well as sweet potato fries. And great selection of beers, wine and Kentucky bourbons. This is sure to become a regular hang out.
