Dixie Diner in Texarkana is one of those places we try to stop at every time we pass through, and for 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. read more

This is an old style diner serving homemade southern style comfort food. The diner is larger than you 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. read more

We arrived at lunch & had to wait a bit - and it was worth the wait! First, they brought rolls with honey - so good!! My CFS was tender and delicious, and my wife's Chicken Tenders were HUGE. Smoky Black-Eyed Peas. Best of all, the Peach Cobbler a la Mode was fantastic! read more

I swear that the food has been getting increasingly better over the last few years. Very enjoyable, well seasoned, and consistent.

A good old fashion diner for a meat and three. Tasty food, great service, and fast and friendly. If you're in Texarkana, stop on by.

Food is always good. Rolls are to die for! Service has always been good. There are some things I don't care for on the menu but it is my personal preference. Not a fan of the burgers or the chicken strips. Their home cooking plates are always good. Def worth the stop & is right off I30 so easily accessible for travelers looking for a quick stop. read more

Our server Cassidy gets the stars! The vegetable plate 2 to 3*, most of the options had a pork product in it. Both types of beans, the cabbage and greens. The Mac 'n cheese insipid, shudder. The corn bread very good as was the chocolate pie. Side salad ok. Our server was the saving grace of this diner. read more

Ate lunch on Sunday. The parking lot was packed, but we still got seated almost immediately. Wife got the 1/2 order of country fried steak. Very good, and a reasonable portion. I got the full order of chicken livers. They were good, but I only got 5 livers. I left hungry. The rolls, cornbread and veggies were all good also. read more

Well, I did go back for lunch. It was a cold and windy day so I got the special - Chicken & Dumplings. Oh my goodness was it good! It was better than my great grandmother's. I could just taste the pride that someone put into making the dumplings. So delicious...but I think he only does that special once a week. One more thing about Dixie Diner, the value. You can get a very good meal with homemade rolls and cornbread for less than you pay at a drive thru. I think this is why most of the lunch crowd is in their 50s and 60s because they know how to spend their money for good value. I'm going back - maybe just for those rolls! read more

Liver was delicious. Service was spectacular. Love that 'ole time feel..very nostalgic read more

Exterior and interior are clean and in good repair. I held the door for a LOL and she thanked me warmly. Maitre d' greeted me warmly and apologized for the short delay while she seated the preceding diners. The waitress was amazing! Like always. She was attentive, but not intrusive. She took my order and repeated my two special requests to ensure they were correct. I barely had enough time to savor the cornbread when she returned with my meal. The presentation is very good. The aromas are superb! The flavors were phenom! The waitress brought a to-go box before I asked. A gentleman was about to enter. I waited so I wouldn't hit him with the door. He was exceptionally gracious, said thank you, held the door for me, and wished me a great TEXAS day! DC is a great place to dine! read more

This is the go to for the city for Southern comfort food. It is all very good and I have had just about everything on the menu. It's only 2 miles from my house. If you like beef, liver, and onions, this is the gold standard. All vegetables, soups, and salads are fantastic. You can't go wrong with any of these desserts. Service is always good, but this place fills up very quickly. This team runs a top-notch Diner read more

I've been coming to the Dixie honor since I probably was in high school so that was over 20 years ago and the food is still good very very very good desserts friendly service casual atmosphere.

We went there today after church. It was packed and a very long line. The waitresses were fantastic. They kept smiling under all the pressure and took care of us like it wasn't so rushed. The management is to be congratulated. Our food was only a few minutes later than usual and everything was delicious. So nice to have this restaurant only a couple of miles away. My husband had pork chops and I had the chicken fried steak. Thanks again. read more

Texarkana!! If you can handle the pictures of our 45 President dressed up as Rocky, them I guess your stomach it stronger than mine. CFS was good. Mashed potatoes, mac and cheese were mediocre at best. Pie was from and can. Covid protocols were surprisingly in place. Good enough for midnight grub. read more

All their food is delicious. No matter what you order you won't be disappointed. Try the Dixie Diner the next time you're in Texarkana.

The quality of the food and service at this once outstanding restaurant has dropped dramatically. Our family ate there last evening 5/11/24. The chef salad had NO ham or bacon, they over compensated with ground up hard boiled eggs and grill chicken. My wife had fried cat fish and onion rings and the onions were cold and under fried(oil too cold) my granddaughter's fries were undercooked my grandson Irish waffle fried did have bacon. The waiter did not remember the drink order of the actual order, who got what, twice I asked for French dressing but he kept bring ranch. Guess we'll find somewhere else to eat read more

Home-style meals, very efficient and friendly! Amazing cobblers and desserts. Drive-thru window is a big plus for the days you're in a rush!

Our server was excellent. Loved the old fashioned diner decor. This is a very large diner and appears to be popular. My liver and onions were great. My wife's catfish were muddy and mushy according to her. The homemade soup was very good. It is a nice place to stop on the way through Texarkana. read more

Ya'll Dixie's Diner is so good. The food the service and the atmosphere. It's a down home comfortable diner. I had the chicken & dumplings my husband had the grilled catfish. You can also order half orders which we did. Their menu prices are great. come on over and meet the owner Dan. such a gentleman. Thank you, Cheryl read more

This is a family style restaurant where they serve delicious home dishes. The interior is not that fashion as other middle to high end restaurants, but good enough for everyday dining. I had some frog legs to go, which is not on their regular menu. When I took my first bite, I was surprised by its beautiful, tender texture. Some say that frogs taste like chicken, and I would say these frog legs are better than chicken. If you dare trying frogs and luckily they still serve it, please give it a try. read more

We stopped in for lunch while traveling. We were pleasantly surprised by the delicious food. The chicken fried steak was soooo good, as was the chicken fried chicken. The fried okra was crispy, and the rolls and cornbread were very tasty. The fried catfish was very fresh and flavorful. The grilled chicken breast was very small and had no flavor. The side salad also lacked a bit, but it was definitely a good find and easy in and out off the interstate. read more

We had great waitress (Maria) who seated us when the hostess wasn't in any rush. Our order was really fast and the chicken fried steak was delish! They even asked if I wanted pepper sauce for my greens before I had to ask. The okra was homemade too, and the gravy was amazingly flavorful. Seemed like everyone knew everyone there. They even have a drive-through!This is the kind of place I wish was near my home. read more
