Bartender was really rude, basically told us to get our own drink, and mixed up our tabs

What a phenomenal place. Their burgers are as good as you will find anywhere! The vibe and service are an added blessing.

I just brought my girlfriend from out of town here and I couldn't be more embarrassed and appalled by the bartenders. The female bartender with brown hair and thick eye brows called my girlfriend a "fucking bitch" when she was finished ordering a drink. The blonde bartender in the back bar was so rude and had no respect when I waited in line to order my drink because my girlfriend could get one for me. I'm DISGUSTED. read more

I mean I LOVE the onion rings and all the food and drinks provided by Dixie Chicken, but tonight was ridiculous. The bartenders were so rude, and I was even called a "bitch" by the long haired brunette working the bar. All because she needed another form of ID which I had, and still was not good enough. It sucks having experiences and great places ruined by rude people. read more

Great burgers and nostalgic atmosphere. A must stop in cstat!! The burgers are hot and the beer is ice cold. I stop in here every time I'm in CS read more

My tender was burnt and wasn't even good at all. I mean how can you even serve a tender like this! read more

"If you be my Dixie Chicken, I'll be your Tennessee Lamb" So we go tearing into Aggie Land to have a BIG TIME for the night and came to the fortunate conclusion we should shove some chow down our throat before we commenced to abuse The Beer. After walking about looking for a good place that will put up with a Sooner born & Sooner bred dude I followed my Little Feet instincts and we slid on in the back way. Them ol' boys in there were great to us! Said, "Oh no! We got us some outlaws! Feed them cats STAT!!!" After arguein' over what I don't like and deciding we were "doomed as doomed can be" we snagged us some DEATH BURGERS!! How can ya go wrong with good grease sammich with the jalapeno fruit & hot sauce? No really, I'm asking... Right.... Anywho, while they were simmering them up for us we slid on down to the bar & snagged up some Lone Stars. She was right neighborly to us and asked if we wanted the smaller one or the big un. Well we love big uns so she kept her end of the bargain. Those son-of-a-guns had to be 64 oz's of cold beer goodness! Gettin to the thick of the plot, by then the Death Chow was ready so we meandered out on the deck to gobble down the grub and observe the wonderful Co-Ed scenery. All the locals there weren't shy a bit to come up and jabber with us and made us feel right at home. I was right down obliged to all them for helping us start the night out on the good foot. In conclusion, it may not be a 5 star watering hole but it doesn't need to be! I was mighty pleased with the service & though I've had better meat the spicy add ons made it one pleasing mess of vittles to gnaw on. I don't see any reason not to give em a visit if you find yourself wandering down University Drive on a Friday night. Oh yeah.... There's a rumor they got em a real live rattler in there to look at. Let me know if you see it and wear shoes walking down the ally. read more

Dixie Chicken - I love the way the pave the street! - American Near Me - College Station, Texas

I ain't gon cap, this place fire. I mean it's always packed Friday and Saturday but for good reason, it's got the vibes on deck, drinks on deck, and some great food to go with it. The kitchen staff is great too, Owen be cookin up them real american-made burgers like no other while thing 1 and thing 2 work on getting the buns ready. Cashiers are normally nice despite the lines of people they must endure, definitely would recommend. PS the music is more lit after-hours read more

Before I get yelled at for giving this classic only 3 stars, you should know the context. I was in college station for a weekend camp and after over an hour of sitting on a bus I was starving. My friends and I were pretty much expecting fast food so we didn't have much cash. We walked in and all of us made the line long out the door instantly, although it didn't take long at all to get up to order. I was able to order and sit in less than 5 minutes, it took my food about 5 to come out. The chicken was delicious and the fries weren't my favorite but we're good considering just how hungry I was. So what's the problem?? Why on earth were 2 chicken fingers $7?! Maybe 3 stars is harsh but between the prices (especially with the size of the chicken fingers) and, I'll say it, there's really nothing special about the joint. The atmosphere is great like a little hole in the wall but i just can't get over my heart dropping when I saw the prices. Obviously $7 isn't breaking the bank, but for less than that you can get a truly full meal at a fast food restaurant. read more

If you're looking for a fun college dive bar with cold beer, good burgers, pool tables and history hanging on the walls and ceiling, this is it. The 1/2 lb Freddy Burger is on point. If you're looking for fine dining or fancy cocktails, don't go here. Friendly, helpful staff. Great overall experience. read more

I relly really enjoy going here a lot Befor games.It's a great spot to go hangout.I really recamend going here. One cool thang I would defenly see is there snack in the back. read more

The chicken and gravy were delicious!! It was a 33 minute wait for take-out, but it was for a large family and considerable COVID regulations. Wonderful, energetic atmosphere and is perfect for an "ideal" night on the town. read more

It's been a long time since I've eaten at the Dixie chicken. years ago I was out here almost every other week and this place was a great stop to get burgers or chicken strips and some fries and a drink. It is a Texas A&M institution and were I not here for business, I would be having a beer with my food. read more

Dixie Chicken - American Near Me - College Station, Texas

Meh. Stopped in for lunch on a brief day trip to College Station and thought it would be a cool place to eat...we were with an Aggie alum, so it was required that we eat all the fried things and hear about her glory days. The burger was the least tasty thing on the menu, so skip it. The Tijuana fries were melty, cheesy goodness, and the chicken strips were solid. Bonus points for the cream gravy. Also of note are the Texas Toothpicks (i.e. fried jalapeño sticks). These babies are delicious and hold up like no one's business. They survived a sporting event and ride all the way back to Austin without getting soggy. Now THAT is a good leftover snack. Biggest complaint: you have to open two separate tickets--one for food and one at the bar, and that's just annoying. I'm sure someone can figure out how to run one tab, right? read more

I have been going to the chicken for the past 3 years. My favorite place about in college station. Amazing people, amazing atmosphere, and amazing workers. Recently I have had trouble with a bartender named saige. She have been very rude and inconsiderate to me and my friends. We come here every Friday, Saturday, and sometimes Wednesday for $1.50 wells. It has just been a big downer when she is behind the bar. read more

If you love dives and authentic local color / flavor then this is THE College Station hang out. Ask a regular to show you how to play 42, a uniquely Texan domino game. The Dixie Chicken is famous for their burgers. I had one. It was the embodiment greasy goodness. The fries were crispy steamy salty goodness: so warm and so moist, so wonderfully bad for you. They have graffiti covered walls, wooden tables carved with names, mounted deer heads on the walls, Robert Earl Keen blasting from the speakers yet very clean pool tables. I saw one ceiling fan with only three blades spinning lopsidedly. Oh yeah! I loved that! At one end of the pool room there was a display case with a real live rattle snake. I am uploading a pic with me pointing to it. When you go to the men's restroom, they have signs to explain to male patrons to please not confuse the urinal with an ice chest. A shelf is provided above the urinal so that one can place one's long neck bottle safe out of harm's way. I won't say anymore. You have to see it for yourself. This is the real deal. Not a bum a deal. But a cool deal. read more

Dixie Chicken - They got a real live rattler at The Chicken. It's over there down by my finger. - American Near Me - College Station, Texas

This was a different concept than what I was expecting. The order at the counter and sit down was pretty awesome. The staff was very friendly and helpful. This was suggested to us by a former A&M student. The buffalo chicken sandwich was very tasty and the portion was huge. The experience was top notch and a lot of fun! Will be back when I travel out that way again!! read more

Wow! Talk about a huge Cowboy bar! Their isnt enough words to describe this place. Just go! You wont regret it. read more

i ordered a plain burger and it came with mayo and mustard i went and said could i get it plain and they just wiped the mayo and mustard off. read more

This is a place that's a bar, and also a restaurant. People come from all around on game weekend to hang out, play pool, and have some fun with their friends. It is a little loud if you're coming here on Friday night before Yell Practice, and even on Saturday night after the game. If you're not used to that, I recommend coming during the week when there's not that much activity. There's food to choose from, and I personally like the fries the best. I also got a burger. You can sit outside or inside. The burger was not the best, but not the worst either. I do like the outside seating, you can see all the stores in this historic part of CSTAT. It's also not a long walk from the university. They do have the interesting bottle cap alleyway right next to the restaurant. If you're going to walk across it, I would recommend close-toed shoes. If you're looking for a place to stop in for lunch, try this place. On game weekends it's pretty much hoppy all around. Always music playing, and people having a good time, sometimes reuniting with older friends. Come on down and see what Texas food and people are about here. read more

Stopped for lunch in college town on the way back to Fort Worth and so glad I found this place. The burgers were juicy and full of taste and the Tijuana fries were a must have have. read more

Had a job close by, asked someone where to eat and without hesitation, they said Dixe chicken and I'm glad they did, even though I didn't get any chicken that 1/2 pound freddie burger is no joke. Absolutely delicious, you wait for good quality food and that was a good quality burger read more

Dixie Chicken - First time here, heard the Freddy burger is a must have - American Near Me - College Station, Texas

It's a 'dive' beer joint folks. Set your expectations. Its kinda dirty, smells heavily like beer, raggedy pool tables, seating tables are carved up and it's often too crowded for comfort. Don't ask for wine of any kind. They either won't have it or the bartender will not be happy to have to go on a futile quest to find it. To the initiated It's been serving as a student study break and been an Aggie social institution for decades. Still one of the largest sellers of beer per square foot on record in the world. I love laughing at the other reviews on the food. Basically they're right. The food is bar food. Given that, The 'Freddie' burger has satisfied many a hunger for something cheesy and greasy. Great with or after an ice cold picture of your favorite beer. 42, over played Tom T Hall country, cowboys and corp cadets, aging barn wood and a live rattlesnake. The place is reflective of its local lore and serves as an experience. It's not for everyone. read more

I love this place and the tradition behind it! However, they may need to look into new staff who are more welcoming to their customers. I went to order a drink and the bartender was very rude and unhelpful! Also, pudgy lady almost hit a friend of mine with utensils while throwing them away due to the fact he was in her way. Pudgy lady should be fired! read more

My group of friends and I were aggressively kicked out because there was a group of Asian people that were under suspicion of under age drinking. They automatically associated us with that group (I am assuming because we were primarily Asian as well) and kicked us out with that group. Very disappointed that they assumed we were all together. My group and I were well over 21 and had no idea what was happening. (I asked one of the bouncers why we had been kicked out and he very calmly explained that someone had shown an underage ID to buy drinks, so they kicked out everyone they assumed was associated with that person.) This review probably doesn't matter to most, but I figured it was something that had to be recorded somewhere. This was the first time I had been kicked out, and on top of that it was all because I was generalized and pushed into association with a group of unrelated people based on race. read more

This place has below average food. The grilled chicken is not very good, and the French fries taste bad. It is very crowded, many people and hard to find a seat. The bathrooms are ridiculous. They are absolutely DISGUSTING, and very small. The men's bathroom fits 3 at max, and they serve alcohol with children around. Horrid. Do not go. read more

Would be better if I was 21. But they treated us great gave me a bucket of water for my dog and the food was good. Only be better if it was on the U.T.or Tech campus. read more

This isn't a restaurant. It's a bar that serves good food. For bar standards, the place is timeless and will be a hangout spot for both Aggies and locals for the next fifty years. It has a full bar, beer pitchers, frozen drinks, burgers, snack food, drunk food, pool tables, dominoes, and TVs. What more could you want from a bar? read more

Food was tasty and delicious, but the service and attitude of the employees didn't satisfy me. I stood in line to take my order for at least 10 minutes. I can tell a lot of locals come here and they like the service, but they were not that Friendly. read more

This is a great location. I love their food. I love how you can play games. I would highly recommend this place.

It's one of those places where you FEEL you have to go when visiting A&M. It's been here forever. It's a tradition with the Aggie faithful. And if you are 21 and looking for a big ass beer and a lousy burger to soak up all that alcohol...here is your place. The godson wanted to go and so we went. Paid parking in the back or if you are lucky free parking on a side street. Order food at the little counter inside. Bars aren't always open but there are two big bar areas for when the suds are pouring. There are more pool tables than most pool halls. TVs on the wall for those Aggie games. The small patio overflows into the parking lot for when you want to enjoy a pretty afternoon. Carve your name on a table, wall or drunk friend. Be sure to walk down bottlecap alley along the side of the bar. The burgers are below average. The fries were cold. The service was surly. Everything you could want in a college dive bar! Seriously. What did you expect? It's a dive bar across the street from a college. If you were wanting wine and brie then ya'll need to go somewhere else. It is what it is and I don't see it changing. read more

This was a horrible experience. The bartender kicked us out for no reason whatsoever. They asked for IDs and we showed them and then one of our friends was grabbing drinks from the bartender, and reached for one of the drinks that was on the bartenders side of the bar. Apparently she wasn't comfortable with that so she escorted us out and told the bouncer to not let us in again. It was absolutely unnecessary, and the manager was very rude. If anything this bar is losing out on money, and chasing away customers. Not a good look, will not be back again. Do not recommend. read more

I've always wanted to love the Dixie chicken because it IS an Aggie tradition (class of '20 Whoop) but no matter how many times I come here and who I come into contact with they staff the MOST RUDE group employees I have ever met in my life. Even the manager was rude today. Sad to say but the service and interactions here do not represent any sort of Aggie traditions. read more

ZERO STARS. Not wheelchair accessible. Not ADA compliant. Staff was unwilling to help and quite frankly, incompetent.

Note: I've only gone at times when it's not busy at all. That being said my experience has been great. Food was good. Staff was nice. Place was clean. read more

This past weekend, my brother was beaten up by 5 people at this location. He suffered a major knee injury, and his class ring was stolen. He was never offered any help and was picked up off the ground. I would not recommend going to this location. Maybe any of Northgate. This management in the area has seemed to go downhill. After my brother was beaten up, the police attempted to manhandle the friend that was helping him up. The only thing they offered once they figured out what was going on was an expensive ambulance ride. Details offered through private messaging if possible. read more

The Dixie Chicken is a College Station staple. Good burgers, good cheese fries, and good summer sausage with crackers. It's not the best food I've ever had, but the atmosphere and nostalgia make up for any shortcomings. Avoid it on game days unless you are a true TAMU fan, as it is wall to wall. But definitely worth the visit. Gig 'em read more
