I am so disappointed. I ordered barbecue the two-way and beside the food being cold I got two little ribs and a whole bunch of links that were not barbecued at all. I remember coming to this restaurant before and it wasn't like this. They're slowly going downhill and I think I'm going to take my business elsewhere from now on. Maybe the owner need to do a little quality control because it should've never happened. I waited 20 minutes to have cold food and be disappointed. I will not recommend this place to anybody if you want barbecue. read more

Dixon's - Two-way rib dinner and links for $16.99 Dixon 2 Way Regular Combo - Barbeque Near Me - Oakland, California

It is definitely worth trying out Dixon's if you are a fan of fried chicken, great deals or both. It is a no frills dine in or more popular take out spot. They have everything including Chicken, ribs, fish, fries, and all the sides. They also serve breakfast and dessert. Today I tried the Fried chicken sandwich (that was just ok ) and the half fried chicken and fries. The real winner is the Fried chicken and fries which came out to $5. It's an incredible amount of food for the price. And although I have had more flavorful chicken, it came out freshly cooked and piping hot. For those looking to get full for $5 and eat a quality meal, its hard to beat Dixon's. I posted a video review on Tik Tok as well as Youtube Shorts, if you are interested in learning about this and other food places worth tryin in the bay area, check it out by searching for Mostly Chiken. read more

Check your bag before you leave. I was so that I had ketchup and hot sauce in the bag and there was none. I ordered greens when I got home. The greens were not in the bag. No cocktail sauce. I drove 20 minutes to get there to pick up my meal and when I got home, it wasn't complete read more

Food...chicken was good, nice and crispy, but way too oven-hot for consumption. Service...relaxed to say the least. Ambiance...none whatsoever. Rather horrid, actually. read more

I hadn't been in I many years decided to take my mom after church for the barbecue and chicken special well I was disappointed because my mom wasn't satisfied with the food so I had to cook sunday and that wasn't in plan I thought Dixons would come though for us I wish yall luck because things have changed alot. read more

I started going to this place back in 2022 and the first thing I ordered was the fish ( basa combo and I love it ordered only that for about a 6 months. Then I started exploring some of their other options and realized that they were good as well. I like this place menu they are very creative with their combinations . The only problem is the over the phone orders they don't have that system down packed yet... read more

Because I don't know how to fry chicken, there is an art to it, I checked out Dixons and was not disappointed. I think the bag keeps it crispy. Seasoned perfectly reminds me if my Moms fried chicken. Same thing goes for oysters and catfish. Sometimes you get catfish that's so thin when fried you get crispy something? The catfish filets were a good size so that when coated in cornmeal and fried you had crispy outside and lite flaky fish inside. This will definitely be my go too fried food spot! read more

Very good and inexpensive they even delivered to my car I'm disabled so nice of them I will go again when in the area Thank you read more

First time here! Food is good. We ordered a 3 way combo with fried chicken, oysters and prawns ($22.93) fries instead of potato salad although I was itching to ask for a sample. Boo LOVED the food and said, "I'll be going here from now on." I don't eat chicken but the prawns were delicious, next time I will request the oysters to be fried a little harder but the flavor was still good. There were only gentlemen working and all were polite - we will return as I want to try the potato salad and Boo said he wants to try the fish. read more

Food was good for price service was good enough ambiance is ok all in all the food is worth more than the price so thats a win.

Great food, great price, great portions, wide selection. I'm so glad to like so close.

OK they got 2 stars because I couldn't leave one I went there today and it's a shame that there was a sister in the back, short hair glasses fried chicken too fast, serving it to people raw and had an attitude, and the 2 young women at register didn't speak English could barely work. The register she act like she had an attitude so I start to take it back to her but I said she must need the money. so again, she's ripping off. The community selling people raw chicken. I was shocked but then I wasn't surprised because place wasnt clean.. I won't be going back. REMEMBER TO CHECK BEFORE YOU BITE FOOD..... read more

Dixon's - 5 piece prawn 5 piece chicken - Barbeque Near Me - Oakland, California

food with a lot of bang for your buck but on the other side customer service sucks. Check your order inside is usually pretty clean.

I like the food but they are stingy with the sauce. Whenever our work orders through DD, the workers don't read any of the special instructions. "Special," as in "tartar sauce for the fish" or "no bread." They don't give any utensils either. These people are weird about their tartar sauce. They aren't even cheap either. read more

Dixon's is where Coliseum Pizza was. definitely an improvement. better value than the chain fish shop nearby. just a few tables for dining in. small parking lot. offerings: fish meals, fried chicken/strips/wings, sides, desserts eats: medium fish fry (sole,6.99) -5 breaded thin sole fillets, dry not moist -2 pieces fresh bread, hot sauce -small cup of potato salad tasted as good as commercial kind. same? leftovers: -cheap food cooked to order, not gourmet read more

If I could give zero stars I would. When I first tried their food it was good. I tried the party wings the fried ribs and oysters. Everything was perfect, the flavor was on point. After my second time eating there the food became Blan no seasoning and undercooked. This last time my family and I said let's give them one more try because they said they had a new cook the new cook is all bad whoever was cooking their food before maybe about 3 or 4 months ago should still be cooking. The two large oysters plates I got was horrible. I'm never eating there again complete waste of time and money. Mr. Dixon should be shame! read more

Dank ribs and chicken. The black people on the west coast really know how to make some soul food and this is coming from somebody who eats black food in the Deep South read more

The best chicken and fish in the east better than jjs fish and chicken to me really good and reasonable prices

Great food! Been coming here for years. If you looking for some well seasoned food, visit Dixons.

I needed more of them.. then the fish hit my spot... Service was great... food was great... place was clean... I would go again great spot for some fish... read more

Food was undercooked & soggy. Fish was soggy & also fries. I had to finish it in the air fryer so it could be quality

So glad my husband and I stopped here! We were driving and I saw the sign! My husband asked the people walking in front of us if this place was good and they said YES! The young girl at the counter was very polite. The food didn't take long at all and it was delicious! We ordered the fried ribs, red snapper, chicken strips, and fried chicken. Definitely will be coming back with the kids! read more

The food was very good, we had the Fried Chicken, Fried Red Snapper w/fries and greens. The fried food was crispy, not oily or overcooked. We wanted to try the desserts but they were all sold out. So we will definitely make another trip. The cashier was nice and the restaurant was small with limited parking. Definitely worth a try. read more

Heard about Dixon's from my neighbor. She's a frequent customer and says the fish is really good. I prefer snapper over all the other fish varieties so maybe that was my issue. Upon arriving, it's a decent size parking lot big enough to fit about 7-8 cars if parked decently. Inside, looks like a little hole in the wall, hood spot honestly. Could use some remodeling or some care at least. I already knew what I wanted, so I ordered the family deal snapper for $27.99 which included 2 regular fries and 6 slices of bread. I also added 5pc lemon pepper party wings. The wait was pretty long, I realized I should have called first. I must admit it was a constant flow of traffic so I was sold that this was going to be some great fish/chicken. As I got home to open the food, first thing I noticed were how big the party wings were and they were drenched in seasoning. Looked like basic seasoning I could get at Safeway or something. Next, the fish had just come out of the grease and it was all just thrown on top of each other to the point where some pieces were so soggy from the oil and the breading was falling off the fish. Like why would they just throw all the pieces in the boat at one time and bag it. It was giving lazy. Flavor on the wings was better than flavor on the fish. The fish lacked flavor all I tasted was salt. My son didn't even finish his fish but said the wings were good. The fries were typical frozen Ore-Ida fries. I honestly wouldn't recommend this place to anyone I know. Maybe my expectations were high but it was just not good at all. My husband and I had a stomach ache a little after eating it. Just an overall lackluster experience. read more

The oysters and chicken I ordered were burned! I called to discuss the matter with whoever answered the phone. Instead of listening to my issue, she said bring the food back. I let her know I threw it away because of the quality and she said she couldn't help and to have a blessed day!! Would you eat burned food?! The worst experience of my life!!! It's totally different from the service I received on Sunday and better cooked food!!! If you don't order in advance, expect to wait for 20-30 minutes for your order. read more

This weekend (Superbowl weekend) was my first time at Dixon's. The fried fish & chicken was amazing!!! This is now my go to spot for fried fish or chicken. The party platters were plentiful. I can't wait to try the side dishes. Great food, great prices and excellent service. This is a hidden gem. No more overly priced and NOT SO GREAT JJ's or Krispy Krunchy Chicken. read more

Wow! Renewed my faith in them, had the Sole which was seasoned wonderfully and fried to perfection. The mac and cheese was cheesy and so good, but the greens were incredible and no meat which I preferred and cooked just right. Service was fast and staff was very personable. Prices were excellent, felt like a home cooked meal... read more

I love love love Dixons they are so professional and the food is so good, it's always nice and fresh and hot. The price is awesome I'm never going to JJs again read more

Back in the day this was the fish spot to go to and then they re-surfaced. So excited! They started off great. However, my last visit is my last visit. I ordered the fried ribs which used to be great! What I got looked like the scraps from a trimmed pork chop. No meat - all bad. To make matters worse (if that's possible) the french fries were half cooked and greasy. Seriously disappointing. read more

Went to get some chicken and fish. The fish was ok but the wings were really really small. I got a 3 peice and it didn't really equal to 1 whole wing! Need to do better! read more

The pineapple coconut cake was ok, and that's about it. The greens were like doctored up greens out of a can. Hush puppies were a terrible, but I've had them in New Orleans so you can't really compare. Mac n cheese, noodles were overcooked and the cheese didn't seem like real cheese. The chicken was dry and not fresh at all. We didn't receive the drink that was supposed to come with the combo. read more

This place is second to None, by far the best fried fish in Oakland. Period. And it's always been the best in Oakland since I was a little kids. Yes y'all this place was here when I was a baby and the fried fish taste the same. Heads up, the prices are the same as when I was young also. Get it while you can, I don't how long they can keep selling the food at these prices... Be advised their in the heart of Deep East Oakland (Warzone for Real) but well worth the near death experience!!!!! Approved read more

I'm big on fish. And I was so disappointed , because everyone was telling me how good this place was. I must say this place was not it. Maybe it's just me but they could have been rushing but I'll never eat here again read more
