About this place
Camp Washington Chili is a Cincinnati chili parlor founded in 1940 by Steve Andon and Fred Zarnbus in the neighborhood of Camp Washington, near downtown Cincinnati, in southwestern Ohio. A well known Cincinnati landmark, the parlor is located at 3005 Colerain Avenue, and was run by longtime owner John Johnson until his death in October 2025. It is now run by his daughter, Maria Papakirk The restaurant left its old location and moved to a site a few lots away in 2000, after being told to vacate by the city in order to widen Hopple Street. Their new location is modeled after a 1950s-style diner. The restaurant is open 24 hours a day every day but Sunday.
