It been a Houston institution since 1999. Walking into K&G's can be quite overwhelming on the first visit. There's just so much to see, be it Autographs, Caricatures, Playbill's or their delicious cakes, treats, breads, and Pickles. However, the real overwhelming experience is the menu. Anything you could possibly want is listed on the menu. I recommend looking t it online before coming, just so you can have an idea of what you might want to eat. My dad(96) and I are frequent visitors and we always seem to get the open faced roast beef, which is stacked high and there is always left overs for eating at home the next day. The pickles are a fan favorite for me, and I tend to devour several of them. This visit I decided to try the fried fish sandwich (made with halibut) with onion rings and french fries and my friend, a Houston native who had never been here, went for the Schleppy Joe with onion rings. These sandwiches were stunning and wonderful. I saved half for to go so I could have their classic New York Cheesecake... the best in the city. The entire dining experience was top notch, exactly the experience I always have. Ziggy knows how to make the customers dining experience an "experience", I have never had a bad one, from the service down to the cleanliness of the entire place. In this review I want to give a special shout out to Beverly, our server, as she was amazing and whom I recommend. She practically read our minds and was an absolute star. Thank you, Beverly, for the fine service that was speedy with a smile!

I mean my pocket book is probably better for it because I want to buy the whole store but honestly I've been missing out. The place is cute and welcoming from the corner sign on the building to the moment you step in- bright, inviting, great displays so you know where to go. You can't get lost in here with the signage, but you can't definitely get lost in the aisles with all the great, unique choices. The ready food display has so many Mediterranean treats, some I've had before some I've never heard of and everything I tried was amazing. We got the cabbage rolls and Armenian veggie dolmas. Great flavor, both specific items I haven't had before. Nice citrus, spiced flavor to these. I'd say they're have to try items. Not only found jarred tomato paste, which I've been on the hunt for but they had choices in this category and that's another first for me. Will have to go back and try the others. Also got the cured Serrano ham -amazing. And I thought the prices were going to be insane having a spot right in the middle of the city and nope- pleasantly surprised for my goodies, great prices even less than some of the other stores I frequent in the suburbs. I'll be back again and again and again until I try the whole store lol. Definitely give them a try, you won't regret it

Tasty food, friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosphere, what more can one ask for? We had two plates of brisket - half and half (lean and fatty) and chopped. Mac & cheese, potato salad, and creamed corn. And both types of puddings! The brisket was so tender and fell apart easily, which also went very well with the spicy bbq sauce. The chopped brisket was tasty too and went great with all the sides and the piece of bread. Everything was so good and to the point, which made it such a comfort food. If I really had to nitpick, I felt the potato in the potato salad was slightly underdone and crunchy, but not a big deal. Mac & cheese hit the spot and wow, the cream corn came out hot and was such a hit! The surprise standout for me was the banana pudding. It was perfectly sweet, delicious, and somehow didn't feel too heavy at all! I'm still craving it and wish I lived closer to this area just so I can swing by anytime. They also have a great assortment of beverages and a cute little souvenir stand. Definitely recommend!

I had the pleasure of dining at Dixie Deli recently, and I must say, it was an incredible experience! The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the Hot Roast Beef Sandwich paired with their delicious Gumbo. The Hot Roast Beef Sandwich was a culinary masterpiece. The tender, succulent beef, perfectly seasoned and served on a fresh, fluffy bun, left my taste buds dancing with joy. The combination of flavors and textures was simply divine. As for the Gumbo, it was a revelation. Rich, hearty, and bursting with authentic Creole flavors, it complemented the sandwich beautifully. Each spoonful was a taste of the South that transported me to a whole new culinary world. The service at Dixie Deli was top-notch, with friendly staff who made me feel right at home. The ambiance was cozy and welcoming, adding to the overall charm of the place. If you're in the mood for a delightful meal that will tantalize your taste buds, I highly recommend Dixie Deli and their Hot Roast Beef Sandwich with Gumbo. It's an experience you won't want to miss! read more

Here is a New Year's Resolution you can keep. Try a "Colonel Dale" sandwich at Dixie Deli. It toasted with just the right combination of pulled pork, salami, pepperoni, bacon, pepper jack cheese, chow chow, muffaletta, garlic spread, jalapenos, pickles, and on, and on. This sandwich is a collaboration between Colonel Dale and David Bullard. The result is fantastic. Dagwood would be jealous. read more
