The food was delicious! Our server Star was fantastic
Idk why it got so many bad reviews I haven’t been here in over five years and the chicken Alfredo taste great and is the same like old times the staff was very nice and welcoming. Yes, the prices went up a little bit and they charge automatic gratuity, but hey people don’t be tipping so I am not mad at it
What a fun, delicious taste of the South! Our server was outstanding. The fried catfish was excellent. The crawfish etoufee was fishy and I don’t recommend it. The atmosphere is fun with lots of antiques. Stop by and definite try the gumbo, catfish and gumbo.

Dixie Kitchen and Bait Shop offers tasty food, with highlights including fried green tomatoes, seafood cakes, and mac and greens. The service is generally good, and the prices are reasonable, though some recent visitors note they went up a little and automatic gratuity is now charged. Customers enjoy dishes like fried chicken, the chicken Alfredo, and the Mac and cheese, while the seafood cakes, fried catfish, and catfish filets are also praised. The gumbo is a favorite for many, and the crawfish etoufee received mixed feedback. The greens are considered okay but nothing special. Many visitors appreciate the friendly service, the thoughtful servers, and the quick, hot takeout options, which come in containers that keep the food warm. The restaurant captures a genuine southern or Cajun style of cooking, making it a rare find in the Chicago area. The decor features vintage gas tanks, antiques, and pictures that some may find odd, but the atmosphere offers a fun taste of the bayou. Overall, Dixie Kitchen is recommended for those seeking soulful, southern-inspired meals.
