5 stars Dawson's Bar & Grill in Dixon never disappoints! The staff is always friendly, and the service is top-notch--quick and attentive without being overbearing. Another great meal here: the Chicken Piccata was a delicious with that bright, lemony sauce, and the Ragin' Cajun pasta had just the right spicy kick. Yum! It's exactly why we keep coming back every time we're heading to or from the Bay Area--this is our reliable stop for consistently delicious food in a cozy, historic spot. read more

This is our third time dining here for lunch, and this time around we went with breakfast options. It wasn't too busy when we arrived but it really started to pick up not long after. The pancakes my wife had smelled really good and she enjoyed them. The biscuit and gravy I started with was fantastic. Fresh biscuit and the gravy had a nice spicy kick to it. The presentation of the chicken and waffles was a thing of beauty! It also came with eggs, crispy bacon, and fresh blueberries. The exterior of the waffle had a nice crisp while fluffy in inside and a sweet touch to the taste. The chicken was very tender and juicy. If anything, I wish maybe the chicken would've had a little more crisp to it because the parts that were crispy had great flavor and crunch. It was still very good and I would order it again. My wife loved her California Omelet too. Thank you to our server Gina for her friendly hospitality. We enjoy coming here for the laid back atmosphere and delicious food. read more

This was a nice place to have chicken fried steak. I went here shortly after opening. It was kind of a quiet subdued atmosphere. The waitress was nice and attentive and the food was decent. Nothing stood out to me as "wow!" But then, nothing bad stood out to me either. Decent breakfast, but some toast would have been nice. If you are traveling through Dixon, stop here and have a bite! read more

Excellent service excellent food came here for breakfast everyone I was with enjoyed their dish . Came here for dinner it was very good

Excellent breakfast and customer service! Came here this morning and enjoyed a dawsons scramble and a scrumptious Bloody Mary! Love the decor! Adore the staff! So friendly! And food was too notch! This place doesn't disappoint! read more

I would have given it 5 stars for service and food, which very good and reasonably priced. The only place they lose a star is ambiance. A bit too dark and could use a little nicer area to eat. More separation from the bar. read more

Dawson's is always a great go-to for meeting my girlfriends for dinner! We love the ambience and great service. My favorite meal is the macaroni with bacon and jalapeño. It is deliciously creamy with just enough heat for my liking. And I always have half for lunch the next day. It's perfect. If you want a family-friendly option that also works for date-night or girls' night, Dawson's is a great choice!! read more

We came and waited for the dinner menu, 4 pm. We ordered a 1/2 combination with garlic or white sauce & half Hawaiian with jalapeños, red sauce pizza it was delicious to say the least crust was light , chewy & churchy all at once. We will be back for the pizza & happy hour drinks. We had a great time, thanks Dawson's for being here for Dixon. read more

I want to thank Amy, Maggie, and Ramon for a great service. Drinks are always good but the food ... we had pizza for the first time we normally are there for lunch. Dinner opens at 4PM. We tried the pizza. It was the best pizza we have had in so long. I'm not a crust guy. It's normally dry and too much when we order on line. This was to die for. We used to go to buds to eat. They have gone downhill. It's a blessing that Dawson's is here. Give it a try on the dinner menu, and did I mention the pizza? ... sooo good. read more

absolutely knocked it out of the park. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is warm, welcoming, and just the right mix of lively and laid-back. The staff goes above and beyond--attentive without being overbearing, and genuinely invested in making sure every guest has an amazing experience. The drinks? Spot on. Crafted perfectly and served with style. The food is just as impressive--fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you want when you're out enjoying a great night. What really sets Dawson's apart is the atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you come in for a quick drink and end up staying for hours because everything just feels right. If you're looking for top-tier service, great energy, and a place that truly values its guests, Dawson's Bar & Grill is it. Can't wait to come back! read more

Once again great food, quick service & nice vibes. Will definitely be coming back again. read more

Had a great time with Josh at Trivia night with my mom. Easton was a great server. Mom had veggie pizza and Arnold Palmer and I had Asian Chicken salad no peppers or walnuts but add bacon bits with different flavored lemonades. Yummy.....both entrees were great. Mom has a third of my salad and I had 2 pieces of her pizza. Stayed for all 3 rounds and got 3td place- $5 card to Dutch Bros. Will be back (probably alone) for paint night Saturday ....will just sip on lemonade lol. Keep up with the fun free events... It sets you apart from all other local restaurants. Bring back Bingo night! And don't forget to add potatoe skins to your staters .. I'd pay $8 for 6...lol. Thx again for a wonderful dining experience. read more

We were blown away by Dawson's Bar and Grill! The vibe was great! Everyone greeted us with a smile and service was quick and very efficient! We chose the Pastrami Sandwich with seasoned fries and OMG, the pretzel bun was so soft and complemented the super lean pastrami stacked up inside!! We loved everything about our meal and to top it all off...the entire place is absolutely SPOTLESS. INCLUDING THE BATHROOM! We will definitely be back. And we live an hour away. Totally worth it!!! read more

MUST READ just moved to dixon not to long ago and me and my bf wanted some drinks on halloween & we seen all the good reviews so we went on over around 7 no one greeted us when we walked in so we sat ourselfs down. after five minutes, I asked my boyfriend to go get us a food menu since no one was coming to check on us when he came back. He said the guy that gave me the menus said someone will be with us shortly. We waited another 20 minutes and keep in mind. It wasn't busy. There were a few people in there with some friends, but already had drinks and food. Then the bartender walked from behind the bar and I locked eyes with him and he made a double look and then came up to us asking "are you guys good" My boyfriend then said we've been wanting to order & then i only ordered drinks & told him we won't be eating here tonight, he said okay and left to make our drinks. took another 10 mins for our 2 drinks when there was no one else ordering. A lot of things have changed around here in Dixon and I never like to play the race card, but I am Hispanic and my boyfriend is black so we felt a bit profiled and felt like they were being a bit racist towards us & maybe especially because everyone else in there (about 6 people) happen to be white. we then finished our drinks paid & nothing else was said to us after paying and getting up. just very poor service if it wasn't anything racist towards us. I'm just writing this for you for anyone who is thinking about going in there and hope this doesn't happen to anyone else. read more

Came here after a funeral service at the VA cemetery. The service was excellent, my only disappointment was my hamburger, it was disgusting. It basically was a patty microwaved and thrown on the grill for a little bit. In'n'Out would have been a far better choice and cheaper. It wasn't even the meat, it was how it was cooked. The salad was good. AVOID THE HAMBURGER at all cost unless you like your patties microwaved. read more

Dawson's burger is so delicious with fresh tomatoes, lettuce, bread & speciality sauces! It's large, along with their "sweet potato fries" are the best ever! read more

The mac and cheese is awful! It tastes like chocolate and it's gritty. Fried pickes were bad but were sour. My lemonade tasted like water with sugar in it. The nachos were just so half assed and chips seemed stale. Server wasn't very enthusiastic, seemed rude and on her phone. Place just isn't good overall. Don't come here read more

After having a rough day but passing an exam, my gf and I stopped here for a drink and lunch. I got a chicken sandwich with the best fries I have ever had. The ranch dressing on the side was really good. The sandwich was over all delicious, chicken could have used a little more seasoning but other than that it was delicious. Our waitress was really sweet and attentive. Checked on us a few times. We went during the week, it wasn't packed but not empty, a few people dining as well. It it was nice and chill atmosphere for lunch time. I would definitely go back. The prices are reasonable. read more

The service nice and friendly. Very casual atmosphere with a decent alcohol selection with 8 or so taps. I got the New York steak which was 13 oz. The flavor was ok but they cooked the shit out of it. Asked for medium rare and they cooked it medium at best. It came with mashed potatoes that came from a box. The veggies were average. I know it may depend on which cook is working but I will probably not be going back. read more

My husband and I go here at the time and always love when Gina's working. She always greets us with a smile and always has just the right amount of sarcasm to deal with my hubby! She makes great drinks, always makes sure our food is correct and gives great recommendations. read more

Food was very good and service was great. While not cheap, the cost was reasonable given today's prices. Ambiance was nice as well.

Service was fine, but rushed. I was at the bar only on my second beer and she brought me the bill. The food was very under-salted. Once I added salt, It was decent but I don't usually add salt when I'm out to dinner. Didn't hate it, but probably can find a better place read more

Amazing food and staff and I love the cozy hometown feel of Dawsons every time I pop in :)

I went with a friend this morning for brunch. We got there around 11:30 and the place was busy, but not packed. I got the lemon poppyseed pancakes. It took a really long time (around 45-50 minutes) for our food to come out. According to our waiter, our order had been placed right after a large party's order, but we didn't get this info until about 12:15 and didn't get our food until 12:35. The food itself wasn't great. Both my friend's food and mine were cold. We also both tasted my pancakes and neither of us could taste any hint of lemon in them, and that was before I added any butter or syrup. They were ok pancakes, just not as advertised and not anything special. They also weren't really a good sized portion; I had eaten a snack before going out and still didn't feel satiated when I left. I could definitely have gotten the same taste, and probably warmer and quicker, at my local IHOP. To his credit, our server was friendly and polite, and he did offer to microwave our food for us. However, the issue is that food that is served fresh out of the kitchen shouldn't be cold all the way through, and at that point my friend and I were too hungry to risk another 10 minute delay. I will definitely never be coming back and recommend that others save their time and dollars for somewhere else. read more

Went here for dinner with a friend. Sat at the bar. We were greeted in a timely manner. Had a glass of house wine and for dinner we ordered Shrimp Tacos and the Fettuccine. It took a a while for our food to come out. As we chatted in conversation our food finally arrived. We were hungry. As we started to eat our food. I took a bite of my Shrimp Tacos they were cold. My friends Fettuccine was cold to. The lady came up and ask us was ate food ok. We proceeded to tell her our food was cold. She offered a discount which I thought was not good enough. In my opinion we should got 50% or free. This is why they messed up on my friend's Fettuccine with the wrong noodles. I could say the plate looked appetizing and food was good. I just wish it was a hot meal we were paying for. Btw they do have a happy hour. Might go back and try it again we shall see. read more
