I love coming here for breakfast because it's just a good, traditional diner. The waitress always keeps my coffee full and hot. Eggs are cooked to order, hash-browns are crispy, and the biscuits are fresh. We like to go in early, before it gets crowded, and enjoy a nice quiet breakfast. read more

An old fashioned diner indeed! Coffee with saucers! I may have eaten here with my grandparents in the 1960s maybe? The omelettes are what you would imagine as being the great solid soul feeding main course. The biscuits!... oh the biscuits were decadent! We each had two and brought 2 home. You cannot let legendary,culinary masterpieces go to waste! read more

The Dixie Pig is comfort food, nice but occasionally flippant waitresses (and I mean that in the best way) and EXCELLENT plain coffee! It's a great family location- the epitome of "Greasy Spoon" And we love it! read more

Eleven years since I reviewed this place? I guess it's time for an update. Guess what? NOTHING has changed! I'm serious! LOL! Barbara and her family still run it. Same tables, same chairs. Same great food! It's truly Abilene's only old style diner. I've been coming here at least 53 years, maybe longer. When I was young and pouring concrete with my dad, we would leave the job every afternoon and come here for coffee. When I started working for Jack, same thing. Coffee every afternoon. Dixie Pig is THE place for breakfast or a lunch special. Today I had chicken fry, green beans, jalapeno corn, a huge roll, and dessert, for $10. Heck of a deal. But it's cash or check only. Don't forget! Unfortunately, like me, the Dixie Pig is getting really old. I hope younger family, or a new owner continues this Abilene tradition. As long as it's open, I'll keep coming! Thanks Dixie Pig! read more

Landed at the local airport and decided to get some brunch. Food was good, service was on point and very friendly. Think it was an old house so layout was unique for a restaurant. Looked like they had a buffet that seemed popular, we ordered off menu and was not disappointed. read more

Awesome place for breakfast... definitely love the entire menu with all the choices...only thing that's missing for me is grits... but still definitely my go to breakfast place! read more

The Dixie Pig - Excellent breakfast this morning. Great local eatery, Highly Recommended!!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Abilene, Texas

Dixie Pig was pointed to by friends, who said that it was a great place to have breakfast...and that was two years ago. Finally, my wife and I went there to see how ''great'' it really was. It was ''Old Texas'', as we remembered our youth...she, in Corpus Christi, and I, in Andrews. Homey, anxious to please the customers, and good solid breakfasts. The main difference that we could recall was that there was no Home Fries in the old days. We naïvely ordered a biscuit, each, and were astonished to find a huge biscuit WITH gravy. On every table there was a bottle of Tabasco Sauce...eggs over easy were done to perfection. My bride got bacon, and I ordered sausage...neither of us will change the meat order the next time...we each think that our particular orders were superb. Dixie Pig...the last Old Texas Cafe in Abilene. Please folks, do not ever change, hear? Thos. B. Fowler read more

The wife and I decided to come here for breakfast. When you walk in the atmosphere gives you the hometown cafe vibe. It's relaxed and has the hometown feel. The entire restaurant decor is pigs. It's great, the wife loves the set up. The waitress was extremely friendly and immediately acknowledged that we were there and told us to sit anywhere. Once seated she immediately brought us menu's and took our drink order. We both had breakfast. The wife had one egg over medium with bacon, hash browns and toast. I had 2 eggs over medium, 3 strips of crispy bacon, hash browns, toast and a side of one biscuit with gravy. Food came out fast, hot and just the way we ordered it. Food taste was amazing. One of the best breakfasts I've had in a long time eating out somewhere. We will definitely eat here again. You can't find a restaurant with a family hometown atmosphere. They only take cash no credit cards but there is an ATM close by. If you haven't tried this place, man are you missing out. Plus they serve breakfast all day if that's what you want. We will definitely eat here again and again. read more

This place is amazing, and sitting at the fro t counter is even better. Michelle and Joanne are definitely the servers I go to. I just moved here recently from Florida and somehow came across this place. Service is great, with some form of humor in it. Everyone k owns everyone and I love it. Their breakfast and lunch specials are great along with their prices. read more

The Dixie Pig - 2 egg breakfast special is where it's at. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Abilene, Texas

This will be a short review, vastly different than my usual long-winded speeches. LOL!!! Dixie Pig has been an Abilene foundation for over 70 years. It is truly a diner/dive type of place. U walk in and have a seat wherever an open table happens to be. A cranky waitress comes over and takes your order and in a few minutes you have some great breakfast food. Menu is made up of your classic breakfast dishes from egg plates, to biscuits and gravy, to pancakes and omelettes. All of it was tasty and well prepared. TAKE NOTICE however, it is cash or check ONLY. Don't get caught having to do dishes. read more

Went there with a friend for a breakfast because I used to go there when I was young and I am 73 now. Was an absolutely awful disappointing experience with the eggs being instant with no flavor. The bacon was greasy, not crispy and tasted like it was from a boar hog. The hashbrowns were so tough. You couldn't eat them. The place is old the bathroom stink, and it needs to go. read more

A true Abilene staple. 90 years with family running most of the business include a 11 year old great granddaughter running the cashier. Food was very culturistic of the city and the name "Dixie" with no negative connotations here. No fruit for your oatmeal but it's still fun to ask. Glad we got recommended here. Price is very reasonable. Enjoy! read more

We usually go there. The food is really good. The last time we went the service was not good. There was a piece of the beard in my boyfriend's gravy. Y'all are a great restaurant. Don't let it fall cause a poor service and cooks. Thatdon't wear a mask on their face when they have beards. read more

I Saw this little spot on my Saturday routined route. They only take cash and checks, so please be prepared to have either of those!!. I sat at the counter, because it was a wait for any other spot in the building! The staff was some of the absolutely friendliest people I've met in Texas! Customer service is a winner!! It was so good I came back a second time before writing this review! My waitress was Michelle! She was exceptionally nice and hospitable! I had the pancake, bacon and eggs! Tasty. With a side hash brown... I should have left it off, because it was way too greasy! The second meal I had a breakfast burrito with their home made salsa and a side homemade biscuit. Both were pretty tasty. It was super packed both times! The most impressive moment of my first experience was seeing the owner, I think her name is Betty if I my memory serves me correctly (which a fun fact is in its entire existence the place has only had 2 owners) was pitching in from taking orders, busting tables, serving customers. That keeps customers coming back. It's a great little family own local restaurant if you are in the area. You should try! Thanks Chris for the fun facts! read more

We came for breakfast at lunch time. Food was prepared fresh and as ordered. Family owned and staff owned as super friendly.

The bacon was cooked just the way she likes it. The pan cake was good. The establishment was clean and service was good. Very friendly. BUT BRING CASH NO CARDS ACCEPTED!! As the cashier said that's the only computer in the store. lol read more

I love supporting local businesses whenever I can and they're usually pretty fantastic. Driving up to the Dixie Pig, I thought to myself "this is going to be an amazing breakfast!" but that all changed as soon as we walked in. It wasn't the appearance of the place or the lack of customers, it was the two servers. Their lack of charm or enthusiasm was really crappy and not the way two weary travelers want to be treated. Oh well, at least the food should be good in this little old place, right? Wrong. Totally nondescript. I honestly can't think of one positive including the coffee (not very hot and weak). Probably should've stayed on the interstate and gotten a bite to eat at the Love's truck stop. read more

Patty melt was perfect, but the hash browns were cold and rubbery. I still recommend, just ask for fresh browns.

The Best Cook to Order Breakfast in Abilene-hands down, one of the best Old Fashioned Hamburgers you can get anywhere w/hand cut fries and onion rings. And weekday lunch specials, reasonably priced including a drink !! The Oldest Operating Restaurant in Abilene !! Still today Family Owned n Operated!! read more

The restaurant is ok.. very busy when we arrived. Was a little confused. The first time ever being here, walk up to the counter, waiting to be seated, no sign or anything, it's a seat, yourself time deal. Finally, found spot ordered about an hr later got our food. Pancakes were on the drier side, had to use plenty of syrup. They're a little stingy with their coffee creamer. A little overpriced for the quality of food. Service was ok, not great. If you're able find a different location to give your business too. read more

Great food and staff. Been eating there since I was a little kid. Would highly recommend

It's ok... service was slow and food was relatively bland but it's ok. It's cash only so be prepared It's a 2.5 star for me TBH, it's a hype in Abilene but was just ok. Not a lot of flavor or seasoning read more

Food was okay. Very pricey for what you get. Breakfast for me, husband, and two small kids it was almost $70 before tip.

We were in town to drop off our student at the Hardin-Simmons U. We stopped at the local Dixie Pig for breakfast. We were greeted and told we could sit at any table or booth. We were served by the same elderly lady who made us so at ease by her southern hospitality. The menu was easy to understand and order from. My wife and daughter ordered the vegetarian omelette while I ordered the standard two eggs over easy with bacon and hash browns. The meal came with biscuits and gravy. I also had coffee while my sweet ladies had tea. Everything was perfect and the same elderly lady came back time and again to top up our tea and coffee. She may have looked elderly but you won't have thought that by the speed and grace she served us. My thanks to the establishment for a wonderful experience of southern hospitality and charm. We loved the pig decorations all around restaurant. We will be back again when our memories of delicious breakfast at dixie pig begins to fade. Yours sincerely, Asian Foody read more

Great old diner. Lunch the way you remember it as a child. Chicken fried steak and rolls to die for! Great breakfasts and other lunch specials. Enjoy! read more

I absolutely love this place! The reason for the low review is because they are so sporadic and undependable in their operating hours. I've bragged in this place & tried taking people there several times only to find they're closed. They're biscuits are amazing and I love the old-style diner. Again... wish the Dixie Pig were open when they're operating hours say they're open. read more

This is the kind of long-established, home-cooking diner you really want to love. I don't. The breakfast was good but nothing the least bit special. Two things put me off. #1. They don't take cards. Strictly cash. If you don't have cash, they have an ATM Machine at the front door that you have to squeeze past if someone's using it. I'm sure they get a cut of the exorbitant withdrawal fees. #2. NO SUBSTITUTIONS it says in bold face across the top of the menu. Really? Come on. Some people have dietary restrictions. How hard is it to have a few options? The chain restaurants do it, even the ones that are nothing special (Denny's, IHOP, etc). This is certainly not a customer friendly way of doing things. In short: nothing special, with a bit of an anti-customer stance thrown in. But speaking of customer-friendly, I have to say our waitress was very friendly and efficient. But if you're looking for diner-style food, there's really no reason to pass a Denny's, IHOP, Waffle House, etc. just to come here. read more

Well anyone from Abilene knows that the "Pig" has a great breakfast, but they damn sure have the best cheeseburgers too! Just a dang good spot for breakfast, or lunch..... not open for dinner read more

Good food, but if they're busy be prepared to wait. Good place to go for breakfast. No reason not to visits and eat there.

Went today around 9-10am. It wasn't crazy busy at all but just steady like any normal restaurant. For one the waitress was sooo loud and would get customers attention by screaming across the way rather than walking up to the table and speaking like a normal person. It was honestly super annoying and just plain unprofessional/lazy. Secondly, we waited a whole hour to get 2 simple meals. I'm almost convinced that we were forgotten but i can't tell you for certain. I wouldn't come back because i just don't want to hear somebody yelling across the restaurant while I'm trying to eat or talk to my company. Yikes.. read more

I grew up in Abilene and went to the Dixie Pig pretty regularly, from childhood through high school and beyond. But Never Ever did I ever get sick from the food. When our order came, mine didn't taste right, 2 more bites stomach started churning, got outside then VOMITED on the side of the diner out of sight of the front door and window. I didn't want to upset my family that I was with. We went there on Tuesday, June 13th around 11:00 am. We sat at a table and the unconcerned server came and asked for our drink orders Standing right next to me. Took the other 3 peoples orders and completely ignored me. Went on to food where I included my drink order. During the food ordering she was listening to her co-workers more than us, her customers. All of the servers and the Manager/Owner? were talking very loud and all we could hear were echoes of their conversations. Never going there ever again.....don't waste your money. read more

This place is crowded. They don't take credit cards. They aren't open for dinner. And despite all those complaints I still love this place. They have the BEST breakfast in all of Abilene. The absolutely fluffiest biscuits I've ever tasted (please don't be mad Gramma), and a country gravy that doesn't come from a gosh dang package. read more
