“Back when Dixie Kitchen was in Hyde Park and closer to 170th & Torrence Avenue, my family introduced me to this Cajun/Soul Food restaurant. Now the 179th & Torrence location survives.The host/hostess explains the 'rules of engagement' which includes: 18% gratuity on all checks; no split checks; additional charge for debit cards (only chip cards are accepted). Once you agree, you're seated and promptly served. I loved the catfish filet (delightfully seasoned)and mashed sweet potatoes. The collard greens tasted a little gritty (in my opinion.) The sweet potato pie slice was "okay" cold, no whipped cream, without the spices I remember.“
“Food and service are always first rate. My Bouillabaisse was flavorful with good sized mussels, shrimp, and white fish. Loved the broth. My spouse's fried chicken was delicious. Our server was attentive and professional. The Beignets were light, fluffy, and a perfect end to our meal.“
“Food is phenomenal and the customer service is great. The owner is a very influential guy from our neighborhood. Family oriented and business savvy. I recommend the jerk tips that is my absolute fave. The soul food is definitely great as well . Keep up the great work and thanks for all you do for our community .“
“The fried chicken and pancakes were good! The chicken is super crispy and you get a half of chicken but I felt it was overcooked. The pancakes have great flavor as well. We also got cheese bites and beignets with butter pecan dipping sauce which were amazing!Our server was not the best but she tried. The restaurant wasn't being cleaned between customers. There was Syrup in the chair at my table and food all over the floors at the tables. Not a great environment.“
“I ordered the shrimp and grits off of their great Groupon deals that they’ve been offering it was a little bland, and as you can see it was a lot of grease in it. I kept trying to eat it and eat it and just ignore it but I was just way too greasy. You can see the grease on top of the grits. Don’t think I’ll finish this dish. I’ll be in clogged up my arteries.“
“Food was excellent. I had fried green tomatoes, the seafood cakes, mac, greens red beans n rice and the johnny cakes, soo cute and good with that soft butter. However the pictures and decor was a lil creepy. The antique gas tank was pretty cool when u 1st come in. But them pictures tho. Food was on point.“
