You've got to have a lot of confidence in your chicken and ribs to put them right in the name, and at this place that confidence is earned. I came in for an early dinner and was seated promptly. The dining room is like a mix of an old school local restaurant and what the fellowship hall in the church I grew up in looked like. Specific reference, but that is to say that it's not modern or instagrammable or anything but that's kind of the point. It's comfy. Their menu is concise so it's not too hard to figure out what you want. Probably not the best place to bring a vegetarian. I was super hungry after a full afternoon of walking across town and through City Park so I went for the 1/4 chicken and rib combo plate. You can choose which chicken parts you want (I'm a dark meat person) and your sides. I went with the cole slaw and the green beans. The chicken is fried to order, but even so I feel like the food came out quickly, probably in ten minutes or so. And piping hot, too. The chicken was perfectly fried, seasoned, and so juicy. The ribs fell off the bone, and I barely even needed to use my teeth at all. Cole slaw is pretty standard. Green beans are stewed super soft but so long as you don't hate a soft green bean they are really good...like, weirdly flavorful for a side of green beans. I generally prefer an al dente green bean but I still enjoyed them. You had better come hungry like I did or prepare to bring some home with you. I had really good service here, even though it seemed like the guy was on his own for the dining room and takeout orders which is a lot. He was really warm and friendly with everyone in the dining room and super prompt with everything. I only wish they gave out wet wipes for people having ribs or fried chicken! This is the kind of place that if I lived here I'd be visiting regularly, and it seems like people do. While I was there I noticed that a few tables were, indeed, regulars. Yes, the word Dixie is reminiscent of the confederacy and slavery, and honestly the restaurant could consider a renaming. However, I did see people of all races being treated well in this restaurant, so do with that what you will. Overall, really good food for good value, and great service. Worth a visit! read more

Updating my review from almost a decade ago. This place is so good. Its home style atmosphere coupled with home style ingredients and flavor keeps me coming back. The best fall off the bone baked ribs, crunchy chicken tenders, juicy bbq chicken, excellent fried seafood, and solid sides that taste like they came out of someone's home kitchen make this such an underrated place for lunch or dinner. read more

Dixie Chicken and Ribs - Fall off the bone ribs, green beans, and cole slaw. Homestyle! The best! - Chicken Wings Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Delicious home cooked meals!! Love the fried chickens? Bake chicken and Bbq chicken!! Sandy the owner is so friendly!!

I have been coming here for years and remains one of my all time favorite neighborhood restaurant in New Orleans. It's a hidden gem owned but sweet Sandy and is always here with a smile.. the food is amazing. The gumbo is to die for, very flavorful. The Cole slaw is unique and so good. Now the shrimp po boy is is so so good... always remember there are small owned restaurants everywhere and like the rest of us, struggle when times are bad and thrive when time are good and no matter the doors stay open to keep us amazing food and endless pours... read more

Love the gumbo and onion rings! Always loved coming to eat and make a special trip to the old neighborhood when visiting New Orleans. Been eating there for 25 years. Great neighborhood restaurant off the tourist path. Give it a try. read more

Maybe this is for locals only. Maybe this is for to go only. But there's absolutely nothing about this place that is enjoyable. The chicken is dry. The ribs are overcooked. The sides taste like they came out of a can and worse than anything is the atmosphere. Imagine, if you will, one flew over the cuckoo's nest dining hall. Maybe for locals only -and please continue and enjoy, but definitely not for us. Needed a shower after. To be fair , we love a dive bar , a hole in the wall. There are soo many better places that are dives and home style etc then this. read more

Been coming here for a couple of years now. The food is amazing and I would recommend this spot for dine in. However, my problem is the owner. The owner puts down her own employees in front of her customers. I've watched first hand the owner talk bad about her own staff to her bar customers. She also insults them to their own faces. I have never seen an owner act the way she does. Just awful management. Amazing waitresses and waiter. read more

Thursday night is the night to go here for the specials. It is meatball and pasta night as well as chicken parmigiana night. The meatballs are massive and boy are they tasty. The red sauce is sweet and compliments the meatballs very well. The chicken parm is 2 huge pieces of paneed chicken breast covered in mozzarella on top of the same sweet red sauce and pasta. You will most likely leave with a box because the portion is huge. Get there early though because they do sell out. If all else fails, their fried chicken is still amazing. read more

We ordered their Thursday daily special for lunch, and I knew I had to come back to edit my review! We got their chicken parmesan lunch special (each day has a different featured item) for only $12. It was HUGE!! The amount of chicken, the red sauce pasta... That's a Texas-sized portion if I ever saw one! For only $12, you could split this meal and have half for dinner and still be full!! And, the quality was superb. The meat was tender and juicy, fried to perfection in flavorfully seasoned breading. Plenty of cheese too. The pasta was an angel hair pasta with a tomato sauce that was a bit on the sweeter side (I didn't mind at all, but it's a personal preference). I also ordered their sweet potato fries ($6 - large). Exactly what you would want in sweet potato fries: crispy and tasty! DELICIOUS. HUGE PORTIONS. PHENOMENAL. read more

In an unassuming location behind the gas station on Harrison street in Lakeview is a small little restaurant tha.. The outside looks worn, the inside feels like walking into an old family restaurant that might be last it's prime, but the spirit remains the same. The service is pleasant. The menu is classic. And the food tastes like it sticks to your ribs. We came on a Wednesday evening closer to closing time, so it wasn't very busy. There were two other groups in the dining area and a few people at the bar (FYI, no draft beers). Our waitress was friendly and I have no complaints there. We ended up getting a 2 piece fried chicken dinner and a chicken and ribs combo. When you come to a place with "chicken and ribs" in the name, I think you need to give both a try! I will say that the food took longer to come out than I expected, considering how few people there were, but it's not fast food and it's an excuse to enjoy the company that you are with. So how was the food? Fried chicken - Excellent. Very crispy, perfectly seasoned. Some of the better fried chicken that I've had. Mashed potatoes - also very good. The gravy was the best part and had tons of flavor Ribs - very tender. Literally falling apart when you grab it. Good flavor but my biggest complaint is the sweetness of the BBQ sauce. I know this is a personal preference so I wont ding them for that, but while I like a sweet BBQ sauce, I generally prefer BBQ sauce that isn't this sweet. Corn on the cob - nothing special. I thought it said you got 2 on the menu, but they only gave me one. Not a big deal. It was boiled and tastes like boiled corn on the cob. Potato salad - pretty solid Rolls - decent Overall a nice local joint. We will be back! Ambiance - 3 stars Food - 4 stars Service - 4 stars read more

As a parent of a young boy that doesn't like to sit still very long, I tend not to eat out as much as I used to. However, as of lately, now that my son is getting a "little" older, we have started to venture out again. Although I have dined at Dixie Chicken & Ribs several times in the past, it has been a while since my last visit. When faced with a choice of where to eat, I sometimes forget about Dixie, as it is not easily visible from Harrison Avenue. But our most recent visit has reinvigorated my interest in this restaurant. The restaurant is casual and inviting, and the décor "almost" lends a slightly upscale feel. The dining room is modestly sized and there is an attached bar with additional bar seating as well. By 6 PM, especially on a Friday or Saturday, this place fills up quickly, so keep that in mind unless you want to wait for a table. I have eaten several items from the menu and have yet to be disappointed. Fried catfish: Just a little bit of spice lets you know you're in the South. It's just enough heat to let you recognize it, but not enough to be an issue for kids or people with sensitive stomachs. Kudos to getting the breading just right. Served as strips rather than filets. Grilled catfish: A little bit of pepper goes a long way to make this grilled option delicious. I like that they give you 2 nicely sized filets. Onion rings: Hand cut, big and seasoned perfectly. This is a great appetizer. Kids chicken strips: In my opinion, these is one of the best kids' meals in the city. This aint no frozen chicken, but rather juicy strips of sliced chicken breasts. In fact, it's almost enough for an adult too. Fried chicken: Perhaps not an award winning chicken, but it holds its own against some of the city's more popular offerings. The pieces are always hot, juicy and nicely sized. Hot sausage poor boy: Another solid offering that won't steer you wrong. Not sure if it's home made, but it may possibly be Patton's hot sausage, which is no slouch. I have been very fortunate in that my last few visits, Julie has been my server. Julie is a great server. Even when the restaurant is full, she picks up her pace so that she covers all her tables with the same level of attentiveness as you would expect when the restaurant is not crowded. I would definitely ask to be seated in her section, as a great server will make your food experience even better. read more

Great food and great service!! This is a definite go to spot ! Try a special they're great!

The seafood and the string beans are tasty. Unfortunately, the amount of food doesn't equate to the price. Local seafood markets, like Castnet have double the amount of food for that price. This is considered a seafood platter. read more

First time in NOLA visiting family and they took me here for the money special red beans and rice with fried chicken. The chicken was so good and so was everything else. Good local and atmosphere read more

So this review is long overdue. This was our first stop for dinner on our trip to New Orleans. It's small & seems easy to miss, but trust me, you don't want to. I ordered the shrimp poboy. The bread was fresh, the shrimp was well cooked & everything came together perfectly. Maybe because it was in New Orleans, but....this really was the best poboy I've had. Super yummy! The table also ordered the red beans & rice. They absolutely loved it. Large portion & packed with flavour. If we ever go back to New Orleans, we will definitely stop back by here. read more

Came in on a rainy Thursday evening. Sat at the bar and was served quickly and welcomed for coming in. Then moved to a table when the dining room filled up quick. Only one waiter and he was very polite and efficient despite the fact he had his hands full. Food was good, tried the chicken that they are known for was good. Simple and tasty. Also had a burger that was not very hot for my liking but it also was good. If you are looking for basic food that's good, this is your kind of place. read more

Prices were kind of high food was pretty good. Fried chicken was awesome. Service was awesome.

Picked up ribs, potato salad, & green beans tonight from Dixie. Woohoo! Delicious ! The ribs were moist & yummy, the green beans scrumptious & the potato salad the best ever. The potato salad is always delicious, but tonight's was out of this world! The rib platter had 5 substantial ribs with just the right amount of sauce, the portion size for the sides was also good. I rarely finish a restaurant size meal and look forward to having part of this for lunch tomorrow. Love having this place in the neighborhood. Check it out. read more

be careful about this place, the old woman that works the bar is the owner and she will charge you what she wants, not the menu prices. for instance, we ordered a half-and-half shrimp and oyster po boy and a roast beef po'boy, the bill was $58. Wow. best thing to do is not to order to go, yet go in, look at the menu, and decide. read more

Order some of their fried chicken to go. Amazing! Crispy and juicy! Wonderful mashed potatoes and Debris gravy. The corn On the cob was bland and watery but the rest of the order was Incredible. Typically we eat at the restaurant but did a To go order this time and the food was still perfect. read more

This is regular spot at least once a week for us.I was truly disappointed in the service that I received as well as the flavor of the food. Our server was not on her game never seen this young lady before but she would take an order and then ask it two more times she argued with a customer about their order the lady pleased with her and cleaned that's not what she ordered I was appalled that she did that to the customer. My paneed chicken was very salty as well as the macaroni and cheese I was trying to return the macaroni but I couldn't get the servers attention. I was just totally surprised today! read more

I really enjoy this somewhat hidden gem. Used to frequent here when I worked in the area. The fried oyster Ceasar is wonderful! Oysters are always fresh and fried with the right amount of crunch.

My favorite restaurant in Lakeview. I go here once a week and get the paneed chicken with green beans and mashed potatoes. Absolutely fire

I love the food here. Sometimes there's not enough workers but it's small and the home cooking is so comforting and delicious. I've never had a bad or even half bad dish. read more

My, oh my, Bessie, this place has AWESOME Chicken.. Light, crispy, juicy, hot and tender. This place is what Fried Chicken was meant to taste like. Blows all the others out of the water. THe wait for a table can sometime be a little longer than some, but much faster than at Chases. This is a GREAT NOLA establishment, and for the most part, a hidden Gem.. Come here, try the chicken, lich your fingers, eat your plate, kiss your server, and let me know how you like the experience.. Trust me folks, I did not get the way I am by not knowing good foor..

My boyfriend and I were looking for a new spot to try in Lakeview and a friend of his had recommended this local spot. We arrived and were promptly seated but it did take a while for our waitress to come get our drink and food order, something that would be a theme for our evening. The place filled up quickly after we arrived and she appeared to be the only person working 9-11 tables (with one other person delivering food only) so perhaps they were short staffed. I ordered the grilled chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans. The grilled chicken was lightly seasoned with "cajun spices" and was pretty forgettable. However, the mashed potatoes and green beans were incredible! My boyfriend ordered fried chicken which tasted much better than my healthy grilled chicken and a house salad, which was nothing special. Overall, I would definitely go here again, hope that the service is better the second go round, and order the fried chicken! read more

How have we overlooked this place? I must drive by 3 times a week. Parking can be a challenge on school days though. Very nice decor and friendly people. We ordered the chicken fingers, mashed potatoes, and cold slaw. These were the lightest, most flavorful chicken fingers I have ever had. Lightly battered and cooked perfectly. The dish is served with honey mustard dipping sauce and pairs very well. Note, the standard order of fingers with a single side and a mini roll will fill you up. The mashed potatoes are topped with a dollop of gravy and the coleslaw is excellent. Nice flavor and not too much dressing. There is much more on the menu so check their website. Besides eating there, you can phone in an order and pickup. read more

Food is always great, in fact it's more than you can eat. I would definitely recommend this place, Dixie chicken and ribs!

Cold bread -no butter, cold mashed potatoes, warm corn on the -no butter ..... didn't eat rotisserie chicken.

Fantastic food, but soooooo sloooooooooow. Every time. The food takes an incredible amount of time to be served after ordering. Generally good service, and great food, just frustratingly slow. Also, as a former server, 7 tables per server (2 servers for the entire resturant) during peak dinner rush is too much for anyone to provide quality attentive service. Could be great but don't go hungry or you'll be upset by the time the food comes out. I'll close on a good note....Favorite dishes: Paneéd chicken, sausage patty Poboy, shrimp poboy. read more

Very good chicken and potatoe salad! I would buy again! Hubby loved it! Made hot and fresh to order!
