Dixie Kitchen and Bait Shop

This restaurant has consistently produced good food. I ordered the fried okra (delicious) but need a better dipping sauce. I also ordered the blackened catfish wish is good as well but very spicy. The coleslaw was okay. Their Johnny cakes, however, are really great. The only negative aspect of my dining experiences here are the charges. They have automatic gratuity added regardless of party size and there are card fees for using anything other than cash. While I do like this place and recommend it, I don’t go as often now because of the fees.

Star was amazing tonight! Very kind and empathetic to my mother and I during our visit. I love the chicken salad with blackened chicken. It was filling and delicious. My mother says her catfish filet was cooked to perfection! The okra and the fried green tomatoes are some of the best we’ve ever had. Everything on the menu is phenomenal! A true gem in the south suburbs!!! BTW, the gentleman who serves the Johnny Cakes is a total delight, so please ignore the nasty bitter person who was so disrespectful in these reviews to criticize him and post his photo without his knowledge or approval. When I saw that on here moments ago, I was disgusted because her entire review was beyond hateful and evil because that man is nothing but kind to my family and everyone else he encounters every time we

Texting from the toilet. I had the Cajun chicken Alfredo with added shrimp ($1 per shrimp x 5) and the cheese sauce was lacking cheese flavor. That was so disappointing because the Cajun flavor was “ok”. The sauce was very watery. The chicken was sautéed but the shrimp were not. The French bread on the side was ok it tasted more burnt than anything. I haven’t been here in years and I can’t remember this tasting like this. Spent $26 on takeout and tipped change from a $50. Wish I had just gotten Popeyes but wanted to treat myself. Won’t be back. Woke up with diarrhea.

I loved it here. Very nice energy. I had the Sampler w/ black eyed peas. Great staff - Attentive and kind. Would recommend & will be back when I want delicious food without the hardwork!

Had I posted a review after the first time or to of my visit they would have received a much higher score for service. The fried catfish was excellent. So much so that I went there 4 out of 5 days spending about 60 dollars each time because I bought multiple orders as well as gumbo and fried tomatoes. The biggest issue is have is on my 2nd visit I ordered a bowl of gumbo with the catfish dinner. The gumbo had a pretty good flavor but it was super dry. Therefore when I ordered it again on my 4th visit I told the person taking my order that the gumbo was too dry and asked for extra rue/gravy and she actually said no and gave me 2 options. The first option she gave me was to tell the cook to reduce the amount of meat jun my gumbo and the second option she gave me was to put the rice that come
