Southern soul food in Northern Illinois Dixie Kitchen has a kitchy dcor which may trick people into thinking that they food will be run of the mill ? but don?t underestimate them. Some of my faves: the oyster po?boy, the Southern Sampler with gumbo, jumbalaya, and red beans and rice (an amazing value!), and the fried green tomato?s. They?ve recently added some great lunch specials that are only $6 ? a steal! They also have daily specials, like fried chicken. My other regular item is the peach ice tea ? delish! They do not ta... read more

Neighborhood families and Northwestern students visit this busy Southern spot for down home dishes. – In Short Zydeco music plays as college students and Evanstonians relax at checkered vinyl tablecloth-topped tables amidst hutches of colorful dishes, vintage product containers and advertising memorabilia. The Southern delta cooking includes cornmeal johnnycakes with honey butter; spicy barbecued shrimp; and hot, juicy, cornmeal-crusted oysters. There's also a Southern sampler that features jambalaya, gumbo, and red beans an... read more

My favorite eats in Evanston – I've been to Dixie Kitchen about six times now and must say I love this place. Everything from the cornbread pancakes to the jumbalaya to the fried chicken is outstanding and very reasonably priced. This isn't the place to go if you want to eat healthy, but if you want food that tastes great, this is the place.

Food is not worth long wait – I have been to the Dixie Kitchen on two occassions. Both times we had to wait between 45-60 minutes for a table. There is no where is sit and wait either. Everyone just crowds around the door. The food is so-so. The muffins are dry, and in my experience the vegetables have always been overcooked. The portions are large, but rather tasteless. However, there are several items on the menu, like the gumbo, that were worth a return trip. The service has also been average.

Just not very good. – Tried this place after hearing many good things, including reviews here. The experience was quite bad. The breading on our fried green tomatoes was almost pure salt, and the tomatoes were served too hot. Our main course, grilled chicken breast, wasn't thoroughly done and was totally devoid of flavor. The cole slaw was dry and flavorless, and the corn was only fair. The corn muffin was good, as were the mashed potatoes and gravy. Our service was bad. I didn't once receive a beverage refill, and despite b... read more
