    After placing my order on DoorDash I waited about an hour for the order to arrive, per the expected wait time. I wanted to try a few things and save some for later. I ordered the red snapper with fries. The red snapper is slightly cornmeal battered, but barely. I saw it on some pieces of fish and even then it was only in one area or so. Thank goodness I really like fish because it was tolerable, but there really isn't any flavor to it. It was dry too. Same with the fries - it lacked salt and ketchup also wasn't included in the bag. Throughout eating I kept wondering why there wasn't any tartar sauce. The hot sauce added some flavor to the fish though, I will say that. Tartar sauce should always be included. The hush puppies are hush puppies. Good. It's also the only thing I finished. I wish they came with a sauce even if only tartar sauce. The macaroni and cheese isn't classic, but it was okay. I'd still consider it Mac n cheese , but I do prefer down south baked macaroni and cheese with those crispy corners of cheese where the macaroni is a little browned on top in certain areas. Candied yams. yum! I'm happy to have that for later. I was ready for that banana pudding I ordered, too! I received yellow chocolate cake. It was Duncan Hines good, but not what I ordered.

    Was looking for a spot to grab some lunch & pulled up to Dixon's. There's quite a bit to choose from on the menu, seafood, chicken & bbq. The bbq smelled good but I didn't have a taste for it so I went w/the fried seafood. Oysters 4outta5 perfectly cooked Shrimp 3outta5 could of used a touch more breading Snapper 3outta5 good cook, no flavor Hushpuppies 5outta5! Crispy outside moist inside I can only imagine how much more delicious the food could be w/a lil mo seasoning. Service 5outta5 Ambiance 2outta5 (the area's a lil sketchy) I was satisfied & might patronize them again & try the bbq. We'll see...

    Myself and Mrs. Dixon I ate b4 I could take a picture of the food! It was smacking!!

    We walked in and was pleasantly greeted! It smelled amazing. Mrs. Dixon came out greeted us and made a few suggestions. I got sole and wings, greens and Mac n cheese! It made me lick my fingers! I had plenty of tarter sauce, hot sauce and ketchup. Some places are so cheap and give you the bare minimum! Not here I had left overs. My daughter got fish and oysters, Spaghetti and greens. She said if she worked there she would be so so so fat because the food was so delicious. Not to mention we got to hickey punch and it was so cold Quinn start Thursday we usually get two or three cans of peas in the one tiki punch actually worked for us we we just got one each. Thanks Dixon keep up the great work we will be there

    Came to Dixons as a second choice it was ok the place is pretty run down in a sketchy part of the neighborhood !! But i grew up in a hood!!! lol so I didn't feel outta place but if you didn't you may not wanna come here,the food was ok the wings were crispy and cooked through, the catfish was crispy as well but could have used more seasoning the fries were the best thing to eat they had seasoned salt and were tasty the portions were ok seen a lot of people actually in this place, the wait wasn't too long the girl at the register was kind it wasn't a bad spot but have had better.

    The food was fair. I did enjoy the fried chicken. The beans and rice wasn't that great seemed a little stale. The fried rib was OK. The breakfast was spot on. I enjoyed that. The service was fine just expect to wait about 20 to 25 minutes and establishment was clean and well kept. And parking was fine. It wasn't too busy or crazy.

    Love this place! Basing that this is a straightforward neighborhood fish fry…read more I've been coming to Fish King for a couple of years now. It's one of my stops when I visit from Portland as well. This is definitely not a fancy place, but you will get full! It never disappoints. Then again, I never have gotten the snapper, which seems to be the point of contention amongst reviews. I stick to my shrimp, fish, and oysters. The portions are generous and I simply love their cornmeal coating. Makes the Southern part of me flutter. It's always tasty, and I am always full by the time I finish my meal. If I finish that is. The portions are generous, I always have leftovers. Plus all the folks who work there are super nice! Be sure to check them out and support local!

    I ordered here through Uber Eats and I was utterly disappointed…read more I ordered the 3 fish, 6 prawns plate with potato salad for my side, as well as an extra side of coleslaw. What I got was the fish and prawns on a heap of french fries and no potato salad. The fries were cold and gross. The fish was super greasy and also almost cold. The prawns were ok, but I would not want to order them again. The coleslaw was mushy, tasteless and didn't appear to be fresh or even made today. I took a fork of it and spit it out. I didn't feel like it was even safe to eat. This restaurant was an utter disappointment. I work on the road for a week at a time and I rely on local restaurants and franchises for almost all my meals while I'm working. This was a wasted meal and left me frustrated and hungry.

    I Don't know what it is about this particular branch of JJ's…read moreBut let me tell you the breading on their chicken and their fish is so delicious And let me tell you , their service is impeccable on a scale of 1 to 10 it's definitely an 11 Anyway, I'll be posting more about this place.Because I love the service and I love the professional demeanor that the staff carries all the while being so helpful and friendly and like I said , not to mention the food being WOW

    This is a solid neighborhood spot that is very popular with locals and has been around a long time…read more Besides chicken and fish, their menu includes popular soul food items like jambalaya, gumbo, hush puppies, mac n cheese, fried okra and various fresh, yummy cakes, pies and banana pudding. Generally my son and I have always been happy with the food here, though a few weeks ago when we ordered, my calamari wasn't good. It was tough and too salty. About that... today an elderly Black woman was complaining at the register about the catfish she bought yesterday, saying it was too salty. She did say other food items she had bought in the past were good. But I digress.... Today we ordered the okra, bean pie, strawberry cake, banana pudding and a 3 combo that included chicken, fish, jumbo shrimp and fries. Their okra is some of the freshest I've ever tasted. A lot of places that have fried okra on the menu don't use fresh okra, and you can tell by how it tastes. I don't eat chicken but my son said it was perfect. I tried the shrimp and catfish. Both were super fresh and fried well, crispy without being greasy. I thought both were a bit salty, though not enough for me to dislike them. My son didn't think they were salty at all, but I did, and the elderly woman did too, so I'd say if you're sensitive to things being salty, this may not be the place for you. All of it was very fresh and well-fried though. The bean pie was good , though maybe a bit dry. It had a nice flavor, kind of like pumpkin pie. The strawberry cake was outstanding. Mmmm!!! The fries were okay; not crazy good but not bad either.

    Had such a great experience at Smash Brothers today! The burgers were seriously delicious crispy…read moresmash patties, flavorful sauce, perfectly toasted buns, and the fries were so good too. Everything tasted fresh and made with care. What really made the experience stand out though was how kind and welcoming the staff were. We brought our dog TobyShay, and they were so sweet to him, they even offered him a puppy patty which absolutely made our day They also surprised us with free soda, which was such a thoughtful gesture. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and create such a friendly atmosphere. Great food, amazing service, dog-friendly, and overall just a really wholesome spot. Definitely coming back again whenever we're in Oakland!

    They are now in a store front and not the food truck as the pictures show~ it's a cute little shop…read morewith a table and counter top seating. The owner was super nice and helped answer questions. We walked in trying to get smash burgers but got distracted by the chicken offerings- which ended up being really good! - The tendies had a great ratio to chicken to breading. It came with ranch and smash sauce- very good. - the onion rings were soooo good- I really liked the spices they used on them. It went really well with the smash sauce. - wings were tasty- both the mango habanero and the hot honey were gooood. Would order again! Parking - there's a dedicated parking lot which is nice! We will be back for the burgers!
