First time eating here, and after hearing about this gem, and having the tacos, I'll be back again! GO TO DIXON'S, you won't be disappointed, it's DELICIOUS!😋

February 2026

Had the spaghetti chili out of sheer curiosity and it was actually really good. Best way I could describe it is a cousin of a tastey sloppy Joe? Server was really attentive and courteous, really on top of things. A bit loud at the time but I think there was a party or something so wouldn't really hold it against them.

I have been wanting to visit and check the place out for a while. I saw they have s Tuesday special for chili and a drink so I went why a friend to check it out. The chili is different but it's good. Basically you get the chili with options to customize to your taste. The location is like an old school diner with the front counter to sit at or single take and chairs. They have really good pie and the prices are reasonable for the amount of food you get.
