My family and I have been eating at the blue Dixie Kitchen near Bush International Airport for many years. When we take a long flight, we usually stop by and eat before we depart. When we're picking up friends, or family from the airport we usually stop on the way home from the airport and have a good meal. We found their service always good, the food good, the timeliness of Service good The restaurant always has a calm atmosphere. read more

Some hidden gems here.. the drinks are unique and fancy, and the Cajun salmon is incredible. The hotel-attached setup keeps the service smooth and attentive. This place has an upscale vibe and sits right off the Houston Airport exit, so it should be your first stop when touching down in the city. We will definitely be back. read more

Blue Dixie Kitchen - Chicken Wrap - American Near Me - Houston, Texas

They lost their liquor license. Stay at the hotel so I could drink and not drive. But no liquor.

My expectations of food are based on this is a hotel late lunch time. Chicken was good. Service happens before , during and after the meal which sets my mood and changes atmosphere. Bartender/ waitress was super nice. Asked multiple times how I was and gave plenty water refills. Service makes all good food taste better. read more

Blue Dixie Kitchen - Grilled chicken with rice. Substituted veggies for hand cut fries. Loved the fries. - American Near Me - Houston, Texas

Staying close by at the Fairfield Inn we decided to check this place out. It's part of the Holiday Inn. It's a hotel lobby restaurant. Has a full bar with happy hour pricing. The menu is pretty good. Wife had the chicken wrap and I had the fried chicken sandwich. Both were very delicious. Service was great. Our server was very attentive. read more

I arrived on the premies and waited for 25 min without anyone provide me a service or acknowledging my presence.

Stuck here at the Holiday Inn for 6 days so far for United employee training. Pretty much only eaten here for lunch and dinner. Food has been exceptionally good. Burgers, sandwiches, and the Salmon dinner all excellent. The steak fries are hand cut and lightly seasoned to perfection. Plan on trying breakfast next weekend and different entrees. Portions are above average size. The service is excellent and friendly. read more

Only okay quality, way too expensive. I got the crab cake and a chicken sandwich? It was a lot of food but it didn't taste as good as expect. Each meal was about $20. I ate dinner and breakfast the next day. The service was meh. I wouldn't go back. read more

I was staying at the Fairfield Inn, and this place was walking distance at night. Ordered a Cobb salad and a draft beer. Beer arrived right away. Dark local craft beer called Zeigerbok: delicious! Salad took way too long to arrive, but as I was watching a recording of the Georgia-Florida football game I wasn't bothered. It was worth the wait. Very large plate with lots of everything you'd expect. Left full. Tax and tip $30 read more

So Do NOT believe the online menu! They Do Not have 14oz ribeye they do not have the chicken tortilla soup, it doesn't have a mesquite grilled anything and I don't believe the NY strip was even charbroiled!! Asked for broccoli and got green beans... still decent, but basically NOTHING online is true to this place but the address. Since we didn't want to leave the hotel area we stayed and ate. The NY Strip was decently cooked with good flavor. The Philly Cheesesteak was light! The waitress was good and the place is clean. read more

First warning: they are not open 24 hrs. They open till late 12pm but close intermittently after each meal segment Breakfast is only till 10am then they close the doors They reopen for lunch, close, then reopen for dinner. See pic for schedule Surprisingly good for a restaurant inside a hotel. This one is inside the Holiday Inn by the airport Buffet is set up so you can't say no. The price totals almost $16 that includes tip 15% And taxes The menu is no cheaper to order and it's the wait that kills you so they get you there Btw I saw a server taking food from hot buffet section to customer at table so it is not all made fresh when you do order There is someone cooking special order omelettes and eggs at the buffet Typical breakfast buffet but one grade up for healthy choices like grits, hot oat meal, yogurt, nuts for condiments, etc Less star for not all food is hot Lots of staff around and fast friendly service. TIP: If you have a voucher from the airlines be sure and bring your money or credit card with you from your room. You pay first before they let you order or eat. No charging to your room either read more

I had breakfast at the blue dixie kitchen. The menu is simple and offers a variety of breakfast items. I chose the omelette and I asked for every ingredient listed in it. It was cooked perfectly and delicious and the potatoes that accompanied it were crisp and very good as well! It was a solid omelette overall. If you're staying at the Holiday Inn and want a decent breakfast then for sure visit the Blue Dixie kitchen especially since it's connected to the Hotel! Maybe next time I'm in town and staying I'll go for lunch or dinner?! read more

The food was amazing, I highly consider this restaurant location, near plenty of hotels, and right by the airport which was great for me picking a spot to eat while I was down here in Houston! read more

This is attached to a Holiday Inn and has a bar with several TVs on with sports. Comfortable and staff was nice. Small menu. My wife got the turkey wrap which was a decent size but had one thin slice of turkey on it. Supposed to have avocado but there was none. Essence of aioli mayonnaise barely could taste it. I had a Reuben with very little meat on it but more than my wife's turkey, the problem was it was roast beef not corned beef! Sauerkraut was on the side along with a side of mayo. So there isn't a lot nearby that is open on a Sunday evening but if u have to eat there don't expect much. Maybe the burger would be ok read more

Blue Dixie Kitchen - a white truck parked in front of a restaurant - American Near Me - Houston, Texas

Had been here a few weeks before, and the food (philly cheesesteak and salad) was decent and well-priced, but our visit from this weekend will be our last. Service was slow (surprising because it was 7 pm on a Sunday and restaurant capacity was about maybe 50%), but the food was worse. Our friend had the cajun pasta and said it was good. However, my boyfriend and I had the burgers, and that was a terrible decision. They were incredibly dry and overcooked, even though we had asked for medium and medium-rare. The fries were old and stale. We would have sent it back but service was already slow enough as it was. The drinks had to be ordered from the bar, and that took a long while too, maybe about 10 minutes (and there were no customers at the bar, so not sure why it took that long to make 2 old fashioneds and a vodka tonic). Price was not justified either- the old fashioneds were at $24 each. This is a simple orange zest, bitters and whisky mix- that is a downtown price, not a casual restaurant by the airport price. Finally to add insult to injury, there was an included gratuity of 15%, not mentioned anywhere on signage or menu. No wonder the service was so appalling. read more

Great food and service is wonderful. Patty melt is absolutely delicious. Clean and a great stop for a good meal

If there ever was a spot worthy of a three star review, Blue Dixie Is that place. Look, it's a restaurant inside a Holiday Inn by the airport. What are you expecting? Chances are, if this is where you have found yourself it's because it was nearby and it was open. If nearby and open are the criteria then you can do a lot worse (the other option is Jack in the Box). They have a full bar and the blackened chicken sandwich was completely edible though not exceptional by any means. Food and drinks? Yes they have them. read more

This was the best part of our stay. The staff was friendly, fast and the place was clean with great ambiance. We had both dinner and breakfast here. Kids eat free here, or atleast for the breakfast part. The plates for dinner were very generous portions. My Mushroom Swiss Burger was fantastic and done just how I asked, medium well. Often places can't get this right and usually under or over cook. But they nailed it, and were generous with the flavor, Swiss and mushrooms. They also give you a good amount of fries on the side. I was not able to finish mine. But it was hard to stop eating. Both the lady who helped us in the evening and the gentleman in the breakfast rush were very attentive. The place was packed both times. So I was impressed. Also, the hostess at the front was such a sweet lady and made us feel right at home. I really liked the decor that gave it the feel of a rustic cabin with its antler chandelier and stoney and wooden textures and earthy toned walls. The bar area was gorgeous as well. I would definitely return to try some of their seafood. Overall, just a great variety on the menu and a spectacular job from the staff. read more

Little pricey but the steak was very well cooked. Not sure I would recommend unless you are staying at the hotel it's attached to.

The restaurant was out of all steaks, pork chops, garden salad, and ham. the Brisket was 50% fat. The service was ok. I wouldn't go there again. read more

Mediocre tasting food. My nachos were missing the advertised pico and sour cream. They gave me picante sauce from a jar instead. Hardly any cheese. They also over charged me on the bill. They have a new menu and will not honor their online menu. read more

Service was terrible. Granted we had a new server but the trainer was terrible too. Our food was terrible too. Burger was okay but cold shoe string fries. Had ketchup and mustard on table but both empty went to two tables to find full ones. Spouse had a Ruben sandwich bread hard. More meat on gas station sandwich and same cold shoe string fries. All this time servers were at the front counter talking and standing around. Asked for the bill and waited again. Very disappointed in meal and would not recommend this restaurant. read more

Unorganized. Ordered a chicken sandwich, went up to my room to shower, came down 20 minutes later to pick it up. It still wasn't ready and 10 minutes later they finally told me they hadn't started it and can start now. I told them to cancel it and didn't even want to wait for a refund since it was almost 11pm and I had been traveling since 3am. Tried again for breakfast the next morning and it came out quickly but was terrible. Immediately made my girlfriend and my stomachs hurt on the shuttle to the airport. read more

Great service, decent food. Brought plate full of bread as soon as we sat down- helped hold the hunger while we waited on food. It was Friday night, crowded and a bit noisy. All staff seemed very friendly. Enjoyed our casual dinner. read more

Only went one time for dinner before a cruise, because it was the closest restaurant to our hotel and we got a hotel shuttle. A starving family needed some good eats, and we got it!!! WE LOVE GOOD EATS!!!! Great service, adorable atmosphere, fantastic food and extensive options. They serve alcohol too. You can get salads, pasta, specialty grill options (great chicken), appetizers, and more. Very large portions too. And the sodas are huuuuuge. It was quiet when we came at 4:00, but has the potential to draw in crowds (I assume). Our host was extremely friendly and informative. Please come here!! You'll love it. read more

Overpriced, low quality ingredients. Tried the Philly cheesesteak and the "blackened" chicken. Neither sandwich had any flavor. The chicken in particular was a thin, tough piece of chicken breast that was neither blackened nor flavorful. The cheese was like chewy, tasteless plastic. Only highlight were the roasted red peppers on the chicken sandwich, and the bread on both was at least average. The fries were soft and mushy. School cafeteria quality. Everything probably cooked from frozen, and even then should still be better (and definitely cheaper, $36 for the two sandwiches and fries). Will not try again, will never recommend. read more

I do not think this restaurant exists went to try it out nothing but a hotel with a restaurant inside but was not called good eats do not go here it does not exist!!! read more

I used to stay at this holiday inn specifically for the restaurant. Sorry to say this place is garbage now. They got rid of their old menu and have cheapened the food quality significantly. Seriously disappointed in holiday inn restaurants the last couple of years. They are all moving to the same menu with an obviously cheap food supplier. Even the staff is disappointed with the changes. read more

First of all this place goes by "Blue Dixie Kitchen" now and needs to be updated here. We had to stay in Holiday Inn because of missed flight, it is right at their doorstep, went here for both dinner and breakfast Dinner: We ordered hot and spicy wings, they were one of the best ones I had... juicy and spicy and delicious. If you can eat spicy stuff definitely give it a try. We loved it so much placed another ordered ..buffalo bites. We came by late but the staff are as attentive, kind and friendly. Breakfast: Buffet style ..usual fare nothing special. For each person it was 14 bucks, lil expensive for my taste. Huge shout out to the staff...they are one of the friendliest, nicest and attentive staff esp Evelyn read more

This review is for drinks only. Stopped by with colleagues after work. Premium Margarita choice was Jose Cuervo and Grand Marnier, and rather sweet. Really Request for Single Malt Scotch was "we don't have any." Chips and salsa I would not serve at a tailgate party. Beer was served without glasses. Convenient location is only redeeming quality Management ought to relook at what they are doing. read more

I come here every other day from the next door Fairfield inn & Suites a very clean non musty damp smelling hotel. My favorite lunch or flavorful dinner is the pork chops with mash potatoes with added bake potato toppings with cabbage or broccoli as last side. Delicious"''. I have lately sat at the full sports bar while eating. I would have a Stella cold draft and have good conversation with there very polite bartender named Angela..... She is socialable as much as possible taking care of her bar sitting customers and the rest of the restaurants drinking customers. Don't feel bad letting hostess know your on a time limited lunch hour or day. My experience here has been good and I will continue to come back for my pork chops.... read more

Nice restaurant, reasonable prices. We had a light dinner - my buddy had their Brandy Jack Burger, I had the Texas Tips salad. Both were big and delicious. Drinks reasonably priced too. Total bill of around $30 was decent enough and the service was very pleasant. One star lost for (lack of) speed of service, however. We waited nearly 20 minutes for a burger and a salad. Perhaps they were busy. We'll still return - the food is great. read more

Right next to the hotel is where this restaurant belongs. Where people should just come here once which is A-ok. So expect that type of atmosphere and food at night. Yet, it can get lively regardless of the time it takes to close then place down near closing time. Which is good since people can still have a good time here. What I ordered was the blackened Maui burger with mash potatoes it took roughly 15 minutes. Rather be hungry then starving when dining here. I ate every single bite which was warm to taste so that means I enjoyed it. I have worked in this industry so I can see that the size of the place gets to the staff. Other then that expect a 3 star service with 4 star pricing. read more

Blue Dixie Kitchen - Blackened Maui burger w/ skin mashed potatoes and white gravy on top - American Near Me - Houston, Texas

The food at this western-style restaurant is good, but it's not great. I've eaten here twice. Both times the food came out hot and tasty but, the second time, the food was salty - especially the vegetables, which were also a little undercooked. The service here is pretty good, could've been better. The wait staff is friendly enough, but not the most attentive. I found myself getting a little impatient waiting for a tea refill and also for the check. But, when they DO show up, they are always cordial. I did enjoy the meal, don't get me wrong. But, for the money, I'm sure there are better places (just not in the area). read more

I went in today for lunch and was pleasantly surprised about the service that I received. I was immediately greeted at the door by 2 people and when escorted to my booth I was greeted by smiling wait staff that were working and waiting on other tables. I thought that was nice. My server was Salvador. He was very nice and courteous. He was on top of everything and made me feel welcome. If you read this and go here, ask for him. He has glasses and is kinda short and was a great server. My food was tasty and cooked fast and was pretty good. I had some jalapeno glazed chicken breast with green beans and baked potato soup. Nice taste and presentation was good. It was a lot of food but it was worth the price for the lunch portion. read more

Excellent family restaurant, delicious and filling meal, conveniently located near the airport. We spent about $42 to feed a family of four (before tip, including taxes) We were stuck overnight due to a cancelled flight so honestly I probably would have been happy with anything at that point and wasn't expecting anything special. We walked in and I was pleasantly surprised by the ambience and decor. The hostess and waitress were both very friendly. The waitress had good knowledge of the menu items. They start you off with a basket of bread. The rolls were wonderful, and the butter had a hint of honey to it. The jalapeño cornbread was okay but nothing special. My kids got the Mac and cheese off the kids menu, which is their house made Mac and cheese and not the easy mac boxes you get at some restaurants. Delicious! Their meals also came with a beverage and they got a scoop of ice cream at the end. My husband got the chicken fried steak with okra and broccoli. CFS was tender and breaded perfectly, with a light covering of gravy. The veggies were cooked perfectly-he likes them steamed to slightly crispy. I had the beef tenderloin tip salad. The tenderloins were cooked to order, very juicy and tender! Seasoned perfectly! I set them aside and ate them separately because I didn't want to ruin the flavor with the salad dressing. My only complaint (and it's such a minor one I forgot to mention it to the waitress) was that two of our cloth napkins smelled terrible, like they had been soaked in grease and not cleaned properly. (Reminded me of my aprons after a shift waitressing) I know that's probably a minor thing and out of their control if they use a laundry service, but perhaps an employee will read this and address the issue and pay closer attention when rolling silverware. read more

Blue Dixie Kitchen - Tenderloin beef tip salad, to die for! I ate the onion rings first thing... - American Near Me - Houston, Texas

The service was great. The prices are ok, but the food was just decent. I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak, which has won the award for best at Texas State Fair. Mine was a good size, & seasoned ok, it was however, a little over-cooked. The Mac n Cheese tasted similar to easy mac fresh out the box with the powder cheese sauce - no real substance to it at all. If you want good Chicken Fried Steak with Mac n Cheese at a good price, I recommend Luby's, or Cheddars. read more

Could not find any other place offers worse service than here. Was waiting more than 15 mins for a beer. Told waitress we are gonna get check, after 15 mins she came and asked us any dessert, have not got check yet. Never gonna come again!!!! read more

Late sitting due to holiday but great table service. Great tasting food with proper temperature (for me). Good portions with plenty of sides options. Must come by to try food with actually different flavors. Plan to return and will try other entrees and appetizers. Place's ambiance is romantic and family type. Noises level much better than other family oriented restaurants. read more
