We were in Nicholasville and looking for a local place to have lunch. Dixie Cafe is just a few miles from Nicholasville and near the intersection of Keene Rd and Harrodsburg Rd in Jessamine County. This place is amazing! Everything on the menu looked great. We asked some of the locals what was good and all of them said that their breakfast was amazing as well as their lunch items. For me, it was a tough decision between the 1/3 pound burger or the daily special which was the chili dog, fries and a drink. I had the chili dog and it was delicious. Great chili on the dog and the fries were good and crispy. We will definitely return here again and again when we are in the area. A short trip off the main road in Keene, but definitely worth the drive! A+++ read more

Try to go every Saturday for the best breakfast in town. Great place to sit down and read or study and enjoy some coffee. Also a nice little grocery store. read more

The Dixie is a hidden gem off Harrodsburg Road in the tiny town of Keene. It's part country store and part restaurant with a warm, friendly atmosphere. We love coming here for breakfasts and it gets VERY popular on Saturday mornings (they are closed Sundays). The Dixie plate is my favorite, their homemade biscuits and homefries are some of the best I've had anywhere! We always grab one of their delicious homemade muffins to eat the next morning (Blueberry is my favorite) and they always have a fun featured flavor depending on the season. The cinnamon rolls are also a great choice and not overly sweet. They even have tables and seating on their back deck overlooking green space for when the weather is warm. A great spot out in the country to enjoy a meal with your family! read more

Dixie cafe & quick stop is my number one place to hit up when I'm in the area. If I'm there, and I don't go to Dixie cafe, it's a day wasted. I love their breakfast burritos. I also appreciate how they put out all the sauces and utensils on the counter by the self serve soda machine. In the summer time the back porch is the place to be! Also, do you guys sell shirts? I would buy one in a heartbeat if you did. Good job Dixie cafe! read more

Love this little cafe tucked away in Keene KY. It's a grocery store/cafe and the food is always really good. We love their breakfast. The chicken biscuit is my favorite. The dining room and restrooms are always so clean as well. read more

I love this local treasure! Breakfast is always great and prepared by the wonderful staff. Also love to check out the eclectic choices of candy from Ireland! Who knew? read more

This was our first time stopping in. We called ahead because my husband cannot tolerate Canola oil. Cody said they used peanut oil!!! This is so awesome!!!! Just that alone was making us jump for joy. Research canola and you'll see that no one should be eating it. We did our research and found it to be the link to 5 ER visits. Anyway... It is great to have a place like my family needs. Variety!!!! Our kiddos that the pancakes so fluffy!!! Daughters was topped with strawberries and our son had plain. My husband got a huge homemade style burger with fried taters!!! This is big y'all, he CANNOT get fries pretty much anywhere. BurgerFi and FiveGuys are the only other place. Again, canola oil. I got pinto beans, cornbread, and cheese grits. They were delicious!!! We will be back. Maybe even today. Again there is a large variety to choose from. read more

Very friendly staff and easy place to get to. We were cooped up from Covid and decided to go out for a drive. Found this cafe on Yelp and enjoyed the Dixie Breakfast and Breakfast Burrito in our car. Pleasant experience and will definitely be back! The inside is cute. They have a little grocery store, homemade ice cream, and cafe that serves breakfast and lunch. Will certainly be returning to enjoy the patio area! read more

We came in for a breakfast early in the morning on a weekday and everything was very good. We ordered a pancake breakfast that came with sides and it was both filling and cheap, which is hard to come by. The workers were also very friendly and there was both nice indoor and outdoor seating for this hole in the wall style restaurant. The restaurant also has a convenient store in the same building. read more

This out of the way little store and cafe are worth the drive. We like to stop in for breakfast on a Saturday especially on a nice day when we can sit out on the back deck to eat. The breakfast burrito made with ham is standard order. The staff are always super friendly here also. read more

One of the best breakfast places in the area. Such a great place to grab some good food and meet some friends. I would highly Recommend their country ham it is amazing. read more

This place is fabulous. They have a great breakfast menu and the breakfast is absolutely amazing. They also have a wonderful lunch menu and the staff is incredibly friendly. read more

Keen. An elbow away from the main Lexington-Nicholasville drag but worth the detour. Great little cafe and a great place for a Saturday drive with your wife or best friends. Great food with thought, not a greasy spoon. And the value! Great potatoes, eggs, and real, not quick, grits. Warm country cafe atmosphere, warm and clean, and most importantly, good food, good coffee and you can get a few groceries if you need. This place is a little gem. read more

Good food and fast. Great atmosphere if you like old fashioned and I do. Closes early and stays busy so depending on what time you arrive you may have a wait. read more

I have driven by The Dixie many times without stopping, which turns out to be very much my loss! What a cool spot! Tons of traditional breakfast and lunch options, served quickly, with lots of seating, including a few tables outside. The space also doubles as convenience store, with a few speciality Irish products in stock. I had the Dixie Burger, which was by far the freshest beef I have EVER eaten, and fried potatoes with onions. My companion had an enormous club sandwich, which she was pleased with, too. Prices are more than reasonable for the amount of food you get. Bonus: every meal comes with a surprise cookie! Absolutely delicious and I will certainly be back to try breakfast! read more

Better brunch than most places in Lexington, with a much more affordable price! This is convenient for those who live out Harrodsburg road, but if not, don't let the distance stop you from trying this delight--the short country drive is beautiful! They have all the basics (and gluten free bread), luscious muffins, brunch/lunch, and basic convenience items. It's a no fuss place, but a lot of the best places are! read more

Terry runs an awesome shop with great staff. Food is so good! I have always enjoyed my visit.

Great little quirky place to come eat, It is located out in Jessamine county, so nice to get out of the "city" for a change. You get quite a lot of food per helping so you get more bang for your buck. Their gravy and biscuits taste like Granny's! You can sit on small deck in the back overlooking field, trees, and small creek. They also have homemade ice cream to top it all off. read more

Wow!!! Have have I not known about this place sooner. This could possibly have the best burger I have ever had.

This is the best spot in keen / Nicholasville ky. They have the best food and even better workers. Kelly really knows what he is doing . Plus he is a great guy. I recommend there breakfast. Bacon , egg and cheese on a bun. read more

Just moved to near Keene and wanted to try this cute cafe near home. They have a solid breakfast with great sandwiches and potatoes. The staff is friendly and the back patio is pretty! Looks out over the forest. I would request they up their coffee game a little, and as someone who works early I would love a sooner opening time but that's just me! Husband has been back 3 times in the last week. read more

This is a great family owned place. Well worth the trip., we drove from Berra. We had the 3 Egg scramble which was big enough for two to share but we also added a side of Dixie potatoes with onions and sausage. The whole breakfast was great. Very reasonably priced and the back porch was wonderful. read more

This place is amazing. I can't pass this place with out stopping. Polite and courteous staff. EXCELLENT breakfast and lunch. Hope they are around for a long time!! read more

I discovered this place only recently. Awesome food at reasonable prices. Had a phenomenal pulled pork sandwich for lunch and then went back for breakfast a week later and was not disappointed. Plus it's a nice scenic drive that only takes about 10 minutes if u live in south Lexington. My only complaint is it's not open on Sunday. read more

Love this place!!! Try to make is at least once a week. This is a must visit if you are in the area. We haven't had a bad experience in over 2 years... read more
