I visited on a Friday around 2:30pm. Absolutely great service with very attentive staff, clean tables, and a low-key unfussy environment. Coffee was a little weak, but not bad. I ordered the country fried steak and eggs with hashbrowns and rye toast. Pluses and minuses - the steak and gravy was pretty good! I'm a little spoiled - having grown up in Florida, I'm -admittedly- quite scrutinous about pepper gravy - so I will say it needed a little more pepper, but that's on the table and easily remedied. Steak was crisp and not soggy. I was very impressed that the chef had the forethought to serve the steak balanced on the steak knife and slightly elevated from the plate. This keeps steam from becoming trapped under the steak and soaking the breading underneath. Hashbrowns, unfortunately, were pretty mushy and mealy. It was 2pm so maybe it was the very last batch from the morning rush - who knows. But I do respect, again, that the chef tried to mitigate this by cooking the gas browns really well and crisping them up as much as possible to offset the other texture. They really know what they're doing. In all, I'll likely come back but I'm still looking for my new favorite diner. read more

Dixie Diner - Chicken fried steak , hashbrowns, scrambled eggs, rye toast, coffee, cranberry juice - Diners Near Me - Waterford, Michigan

My husband and I moved to Waterford almost 3 years ago, and after trying some of the other local diners, the Dixie has become our favorite! The drive thru is so convenient, the portions are big, and the chicken dinners are better than Zehnder's! The staff has always been kind and courteous when I call to order, which I appreciate since I'm HoH. Some of our favorites are the Coney Island, the country fried steak, breaded mushrooms, and biscuits and gravy. They've been a lifesaver these past 5 months especially since I'm pregnant and crave home style food. Thanks, Dixie Diner :) Can't wait to invite my mom to have lunch indoors with me here when COVID is over. read more

I was very happy with the service we received. My adult daughter has multiple food allergies and sometimes it's a challenge. She really wanted fish and chips but the batter contained one of her allergens. They suggested dipping the fish in flour and pan frying. It was awesome that they did this for her. We will definitely go back! I had the broasted chicken and chicken noodle soup. Both were excellent. read more

Great for a family diner. Love the fried chicken. The breakfast menu is great too. They have a drive thru as well.

just now We have been going to Dixie Diner for a long time. I dont usually bad review places but the last few times have been disappointing...esp this time! Not only did I get the wrong salad, the poor chicken looked like it was previously cut up on someone else's plate and chucked into the salad...there was also an entire chicken wing buried in the mess. I wondered why I was asked what size...when I corrected the person taking the order and said I wanted the chicken salad with a tortilla shell but with broasted chicken strips...and they confirmed yes. I assumed something must have changed. My son got the ribs and they were very salty and not like they have been previously. My husband had the veal parmesan and had no complaints. read more

First time since pandemic that we've returned to Dixie Diner. Didn't go inside but ordered through the drive-thru. We both got Dixie Super Nachos. We had no idea the chips would be extremely salty. Might be back for other menu choices but not those. Some people have salt restrictions. Staff members were friendly though. read more

The staff is incredible, can't say enough good things about them. The Sicilian sandwich is incredible! However today I had fish and chips, good but only three very small pieces (disappointed). read more

Even though all had happened in the community the servers and employees at this establishment have been positive. Went a couple time and had Shayla as our server and we have no complaints one of the best waitresses I have been served by. She is really kind and works hard and always has a smile on her face...even with the mask. 10/10 highly recommend...and ask for Shayla she is great!! read more

Dixie Diner - the interior of a diner - Diners Near Me - Waterford, Michigan

We stopped while driving by. The inside was nice and bright and cheerful. The staff was friendly, the food was great, with lots of choices. Now we go out of our way to drive 20+ miles to eat there. read more

This is a great lunch spot. Nice variety of foods to choose from and the service is quick and friendly.

Best dang broasted chicken in Oakland county. Hot, juicy and simply delicious. Blows away Chicken Shacks over priced chicken. When you order their dinner you get mashed potatoes, gravy, buttered corn and a dinner roll for a great price. Also, you can order the chicken anyway you want. All legs, 2 wings, 2 breast whatever mix you want. I'm just sorry it took me so long to try this place. I even had them cater a meal for 24 guys and it got devoured. The girls there are sweet and friendly. Love you guys and love your chicken! read more

I liked it here.the waiter was nice and the food was good .they have really good pancackes.(best place to ever get pancakes) and omelets but not everything here was the best.Alot of the food here you can make at home and I can make it better except the pancakes. read more

We went to have chicken and decided to both get cod. We were both very disappointed. The fish batter was not crisp and the the fish was rubbery. The tartar sauce tasted off as if it was starting to go bad. The boasted potatoes and onion rings were both not crispy and seemed as if they were reheated and not made fresh. Also for $26 dollars for two cod dinners the portions were not very large. We each got 3 small pieces that were about 5-6 inches long by an inch wide. What a let down! We have had the chicken and liked it. Should have gotten that! read more

I love broasted chicken They do it right! Good waitstaff to. I have eaten here a few times for lunch and service was great read more

Dixie Diner - Coffee 2 go. - Diners Near Me - Waterford, Michigan

Ordered a chicken omelette minus tomato and green pepper using Door Dash for delivery. The omelette came with green pepper ruining the omelette for me. My husband called Dixie Diner to have a new omelette made which we would take back the incorrect food and pick up the new order ourselves. Dixie Diner refused to make their wrong right. A total waste of time and money. We do not recommend. If they mess up you the consumer will eat their cost. Horrible customer service and poor management read more

We have been going to Dixie Dinner for a long time. It's been perhaps a couple months since we came for breakfast. I ordered the pecan waffle and it had an onion piece. My niece ordered a feta spinach omelet and she does not eat pork. She found an onion piece and a bacon piece. When I confronted the manager she claimed we are sharing food. I suspect that the dishes are not washed. The waitress offered another one waffle and I asked for a pecan waffle instead. The Manager did nothing to take it off the bill. No apology nothing. She is rude and I plan to report this. I was still charged for the pecan waffle. Never go there again!! Done with dixie diner!!! Not clean and bad customer service. read more

This is an alright diner. It's an easy place to stop by and have a full meal with a lot of meal options (good burgers). It has a nice atmosphere and the servers are all great but the food isnt anything that would motivate me to come back on my own. read more

I had a wonderful experience through the drive thru. The chicken pita, fries and soup the best I have had in a carry out! The fries were hot, crisp and so good! Chicken pita was the best I've had from any place in Waterford. read more

I love going to Dixie Diner. The breakfast food is great and if you come between 9-11 on a weekday you can get some amazing deals and FREE COFFEE!! The waitresses are all nice and helpful with the menu. The broasted chicken is great and the dinners are very affordable. They also offer a drive thru which I have never tried but I think it is an interesting concept. 10/10 would recommend. read more

We really like their chicken strip pitas. We called in an order last week and was able to pick up using their drive through window for covid safety. They have really good ranch. Fries are good. Onion rings are ok. We've dined in a few times and have always had good service. read more

I've recently began coming here after Big Apple closed down and my boyfriend and I have been on the hunt for a new breakfast spot. The Dixie diner has great deals which we love! if you get there before 11 on weekdays you get free coffee and a wide selection of breakfast specials. The grits here are some of the best I've tried. They offer more than just breakfast too, their other menu items such as their chicken dinners are a great option. All in all, this place has great workers and good food for the price. Definitely check them out! read more

Been here a few more times since initial review. The place still is awesome. Wait staff (Colleen and Lori amongst the others) are great. Food is always plentiful and good. We had the Sicilian sandwich which was HUGE and tasty. And we also had the fish and chips which also was very good. The creamy potato soup was so good. And the coney's were spot on as a Detroit coney should be. Can't help but notice they are gaining popularity and that's great because they deserve it. read more

Great fast breakfast. Haven't been back for other meals but enjoy the breakfast, speed of service and friendly waitstaff. Good prices

Glad this restaurant was re opened with new owners. Excellent food. I enjoy picking up carryout via drive through at least once a week. Grilled corned beef sandwiches, thick crisp fries, broasted chicken, gyros, fish and chips are all delicious. Wait staff at drive through are friendly and always get my order right-unlike many fast food alternatives. Recommended. read more

It was just....OK. The food was average. First visit had a waitress who clearly didn't want to be there.The second visit, the waitress was quick and friendly. read more

Breakfast specials can't be beat ! Have only eaten breakfast there twice,food was cooked as ordered,the portion was ample, the service was good and friendly . We'll be going back soon! read more

My husband and I were on our way home from work and decided to try it. We did a carry out order of the broast chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, salad and rolls. It was the best boasted chicken we ever had. It was juicy and very tasty. Other items we ordered were delicious as well. Very flavorful and packaged with great care. While we waited, the staff was very friendly and the food was ready quickly. The price was right too. Highly recommended! read more

Dixie Diner always has excellent service with a smile! I've had the broasted chicken, which is juicy and flavorful, the chicken breast salad is wonderful and the breakfast is great too! Best part is you can call ahead and zip though the drive through to pick it up. Definitely worth trying! read more

I would give 0 stars if possible. Consistently bad service every time i've had the displeasure of eating at the diner. The management is as bad as it gets, no customer care or problem resolution skills. There are no redeeming factors, you are going to not only get better service but better food at a fast food joint. read more

awesome food!!!!! large portions as well and good prices. best rye bread out there. servers, Lydia and Sara are amazing. this diner is like the ones I used to go to in Brooklyn NY. read more

Great family dining! My family and I visit there quite often. The waitstaff are so friendly and courteous! And the food is absolutely amazing! The broasted chicken is so delicious. We have never had a bad experience there with food or service. read more

I was a regular customer of Dixie Diner. One day theY gave me the wrong order, they were upset with me. I took it back, paid extra money and received the correct item. Claimed it was my fault. Since then theyhave refused to take any orders from me and refused to let me dine in their restaurant, when I called to place a order they said I had to go to Drive Thru to make the order and wait. They had great food, but this treatment is unnecessary and I will not be doing any more business with them. AS they say BUYER BE WARE. read more

I'm not sure how long this place has been open, but it replaced the old National Coney Island in Waterford. I stopped by today for breakfast and expected it to be way busier (most places are on Sunday mornings), so I wasn't sure what to expect. I ordered the chicken and waffles and was pleasantly surprised! My waffle was just a little bit cold, but still very good. The chicken is what will be bringing me back. They used their broasted chicken and it was so good! Crisp on the outside, juicy, and flavorful. I will definitely be coming back soon. read more

The broasted chicken is as good as the service, excellent! Large portions and great price. A good place for breakfast, lunch or carry-out.
