    Passed by here every time I'm in Newport. Finally stopped in. Right away you are greeted by friendliest people. The menu is on the wall. You order at the register. Then you go different spot like a cafeteria. First you get your beverage then move down in my case it was two coney dogs. The slide down for your fresh to order waffle fries. The very clean dining area is a throw back to the 1950-60s diner. Now the food. The coney dogs were excellent. They are little smaller than your standard hot dog. The hot water dog is dropped in a soft steamed bun. The chili is Cincinnati style it's on the sweet side but very good. The onions were freshly cut and had regular mustard. The waffle fries were perfectly fried no oily taste at all. I lightly salted them no use for ketchup. I ordered a Coke. I like this place so much I went back the next day. To let you know just as good the next day. Can't wait to get back there next year.

    It always hits and it's always good. Everyone is so friendly and kind, especially for working so late. I can't imagine being responsible for drunk people shenanigans, but they handle it like champs. The food is classic chili parlor and so good. Our favorite is the Chili Man Dip with no beans or onions. Thank You for creating a safe space to eat on the way home. You all are the best!!

    I was not expecting a "lunch room" style type of restaurant. We came during chili week and I was not aware there were a lot of other options besides chili. I got a coney and 3 way and they both were great! I was suprised how much I liked them both. I normally am a Skyline girl but this has to be a close second for me. I want to come back and try some of their other items on the menu.

    Fantastic service. Great location with their own parking lot. Food was good. You order at the register up front and then it's like a school lunch line where you have your tray and the ladies put your drinks and food on your tray before you pick your table to sit. I tried the chili on a coney 6 ways which comes with cheese, beans, onions, and chopped garlic. The garlic is a really nice addition.

    My $9 fries....

    ABSOLUTELY INSANE. I ordered Greek fries for $9, got 5 pieces of feta and ranch on the side. Ordered 3 chili dogs, only cheese NO chili. Ordered a separate hot dog plain, NO HOT DOG AND HAS CHILI AND CHEESE. What the actual F.

    Dixie Chili is a must stop if you near Cincinnati or New port!

    Dixie Chili is a staple in the area and must stop for those traveling near NewPort and Cincinnati! With over 90 years of service it's a hidden gem straight out of history.

    We ended up here after some issues at camp Washington. The service was super fast and friendly. The chili dogs were just as good. The fries were fries. The interior is updated retro and super cute.

    Okay.. first time chili experience here!! And let me say I had no real expectations because I've heard mixed reviews (not about Dixie, just in general), but I have been wanting to try it since I moved to the area a few years ago. Consensus on the 3-way: tasty and would eat again! :) I enjoyed the flavor of the chili - a little sweet, and you can't go wrong with a pile of shredded cheddar cheese. The noodles were OK, I can understand why it might be a weird pairing with chili, but it just reminded me of pasta sauce! The oyster crackers added nothing for me. We also got a side of fries which were pretty good. Service was fine, interior was classic diner, and overall it was a good experience!

    Another chili place was closed since it was Memorial Day, so we decided to come here. It's a bit different than other chili places I've been to, because you order, they give you a tray and you wait for your food (instead of them bringing the food to you). It only took a few minutes and I loved how you could customize your chili! I got jalapeños and chopped garlic on mine. As for the taste, it was good! Not the best chili I've ever had, but it was tasty and I would go back if I have the opportunity when in town.

    Not your average chili place. My go-to is the Alligator which comes with dill spear, wiener, mustard, mayo, cheese on a coney bun, chili, and onions. Also, the double-corned beef sandwich is a culinary work of art. With soup salads, a dessert menu, and a kid's menu. It has something for everyone! You can even order their canned chili online...

    We have a Airbnb up in Northern Kentucky and have ate all the Cincinnati chilies, this one is the best! Big menu cool atmosphere and a rich history. Go try it you won't be disappointed.

    Visited Cincinnati and had to try the chili. Decided in Dixie chili since it was one of the chains recommended and the only one open when I had time to peruse. It's definitely a fast food joint. I got a kids meal because I wasn't sure how much I would like it. Unfortunately though, the kids meal only comes 3way (spaghetti, chili & cheese). But it was pretty yummy, and very affordable.

    Not gourmet, but really damn good. Nothing like a bowl of chili after a night of drinks. Wish there was a Dixie back home.

    I like eating here, the chili isn't the best in the area, but it's still very good. Great atmosphere, I'd go more if it was closer.

    By far the best chili in town. Very thick and rich with a heaping of real cheddar.

    Dixie is by far the best of breed of the Cincinnati Chili's. The blend of spices is perfect and the quantities are plentiful.

We had a reservation for two and for some reason they sat us directly next to the loud kitchen. Entire building open and we got bad seats just baffles me. The prime rib carpaccio was basically lunch meat with arugula. We liked the crispies but overall it's not something we really enjoyed and would not order again. It would have been better served on toast maybe. This was something we'd never had before and did not know what to expect so that's on us. 22 oz ribeye and potatoes are ok, a lesser version of sotto. steak was crisped well, not as much fat as usual which i liked. the crispy lasagne was ok. sauce is a tad spicy which was fine. kitchen manager or head chef came out to speak with us and he was very friendly. our server was Jenna. espresso martini - great, done well with strong espresso flavor and foam on top the red borough - very good, comparable to a manhattan blueberry spritz - very fruity, easy drinker s'mores was ok but honestly could do without the ice cream The ambiance is nice, very cute and clean. chairs were different and comfortable! Overall, it was ok. Not one of our top ranked places in cincy.

One of those complete game-changer decisions I'm so thankful for. This was a blast from the early 80s, late 70s!!!! No joke, it immediately smelled like cigarettes when I came in. It was like literally walking through a time warp. Yellow/tan decor with all stainless steel diner facilities and everything. But, let me stress how impressed I was with the cleanliness. When I first came in, the cook came out with an industrial size container of fish fry mix and asked me to help him open it. That thing about ripped my skin off! It took 3tries AND he had to hold the container while I twisted the lid. ...but the point is I was quickly taken back to a time where people weren't afraid to speak to complete strangers. I ordered an egg salad sandwich and 2containers of broccoli/cheese soup to go to go on top of my grilled chicken sandwich:) I WILL be returning to Pepper POD whenever I come back to northern Kentucky (Cincinnati) area. Thank y'all!

Waited almost 10 minutes to be greeted and then another 7 minutes for just our drinks!!! I wanted to leave at that point but my grandma really wanted her biscuits and gravy.

Don't take it out on customers!! We won't be coming back because of this disrespectful behavior.
