    "Neighbor, how long has it been since you've had a big thick steaming bowl of Wolf Brand Chili?"…read more If it's been too long for you, never fear...this place will serve it up for you, in all its greasy gloriousness. We were in town for a concert, looking for a place to eat dinner before the show. We first tried Maggie & Lucy's, and although they have great reviews on Yelp, they were also very busy and had one waitress. It was also very hot inside, so we moved on to Johnny B's. Mistake. The outside is messy and appears neglected. The windows are so dark, at first we doubted if they were even open. The inside smells like their grease hood is not working. I was not very hungry, so I asked the waitress about the chili. She said that the chili hamburger is one of their most popular dishes. I didn't want the burger, just a bowl of chili. Mike ordered a simple burger and fries. His order came out fairly quickly, but it was taking longer for my bowl of chili. As I sat there waiting, I saw the cook place a disposable bowl on the pass. The waitress disappeared around the corner, and appeared about two minutes later with the chili in a proper bowl. She obviously microwaved the chili. Mike's burger was edible, but the fries were rubbish. They were greasy and tasteless, even after a crap ton of salt. Not crispy at all. The chili may not BE Wolf Brand, but they have mixed WB in with it because it tastes exactly like WB. The waitress was pleasant-ish and seemed friendly, but despite the fact that she could see I took two bites of chili and there were a pile of fries on Mike's plate, she NEVER asked how our meal was. Fair warning: The check-out process in this place is unlike anything I've seen anywhere. When you are finished eating, you go to the counter, where the waitress is. She tells you what you owe, and then asks "Would you like to add a tip?", if you respond "Yes", she asks "How much?" Seriously? I guess it's a great way to shame people into giving you a larger tip than they ordinarily would have, but come on. This is 2025. Purchase an iPad or decent POS. Just to be clear, my daughter is a waitress/restaurant manager and I know how hard she works for her money. I standardly tip 20% unless the service was really awful, and then I tip 15%. We were the only table in the place. After seeing we did not like the food, would a simple "Was everything okay?" be out of order? Be better, Johnny B's. Be better.

    The food was excellent. The service was exemplary and the price was very reasonable. I would…read morehighly recommend Johnny B's for a great lunch experience.

    Dixie Diner in Texarkana is one of those places we try to stop at every time we pass through, and…read morefor good reason. If you're looking for true country cooking, this is it. My husband ordered the liver and absolutely loved it, which says a lot because it's not easy to find it done right. I had the chicken fried chicken with gravy, and it was delicious, comfort food at its best. Everything was seasoned and spiced to perfection, flavorful without being overwhelming. This is the kind of diner that feels familiar and satisfying, with food that tastes homemade and consistently good. A must-stop if you're traveling through Texarkana and craving classic Southern comfort food.

    This is an old style diner serving homemade southern style comfort food. The diner is larger than…read moreyou would expect but felt comfortable and inviting. It has nostalgic decor with a combination of booths and tables. At the height of lunch hour it was very busy but we were promptly seated and served. We happen to be driving through Texarkana at lunchtime and remembered that we had friends from our town, which is an hour away, that rave about it and occasionally for an outing will drive to Texarkana just to eat lunch. I had fried chicken livers, cabbage and the twice baked potato while my husband had the chicken fried chicken. My potato was just average but the fried livers and cabbage were excellent. We both enjoyed our food very much and I appreciated the fact that the tea glasses were large enough that I didn't have to ask for refills. One review complained that there weren't very many chicken livers. I only had about seven livers myself, but they were so huge that I ended up making two meals out of it. We thought the food was very reasonably priced and some of the meals even come with half portions. My husband actually got the half order of the chicken fried chicken and it was still plenty of food.
