Awesome diner! The dinner rolls are to die for... Most everything is good here. Irish nachos were amazing, mac and cheese was good, chicken fried steak was delicious. The only things I have to comment on is the cornbread I had and the green beans just were 'okay' nothing special. Service and everything else of my experience was great, I love good local diners like this! read more

They bring the best rolls and cornbread to your table before your order arrives. That's all you need to know.

About what one would expect next to a highway late at night in the middle of no where. The ice tea was very very good!

Best blackberry cobbler I've had in years. Seriously. Skip dinner and just order a double helping.

Food was good home cooking at its best. Have the chicken fried chicken, small order. Real mashed potatoes and fresh hot rolls, delish! Food was hot and service was awesome. One of the best waitresses we had on our trip. We love to eat local when possible, will stop in again. read more

Husband: "one of the best home-styled meal at a restaurant I have ever had." I agree - we try to find local eateries while traveling and this was an excellent choice if you want home-styled cooking. Address is 4115 n kings hwy texarkanas tx, not the address yelp has listed. I had country fried steak, mashed potatoes and black-eyed peas. Husband had hamburger steak with grilled onions, twice baked potatoes and green beans. A basket of cornbread and a basket of yeast rolls were delivered to our table - honey and real butter were already there. My husband's brown gravy was tastier than my white gravy, but it was still good. You can order 1/2 portions or full portions of entries. They had a special: angus burger, fries and drink for $5.99, but we wanted plate lunches. If you want local excellent home-style cooking and not the regular chain restaurant food - this is the place for you. read more

Pretty good hadn't been here in a long time. I loved the rolls. The pot roast wasn't that great. My husband loved the chicken fried steak and grandson loved the Irish nachos. Service was good. read more

Good home cooking in a diner setting. Food isn't as good as home but very close. Staff is friendly. Banana pudding is good for a restaurant.

Stumbled into this little burger place in Texarkana. Really nice fries, shakes and burgers. The buns are made on-site and the meat was fresh and tasty. Plenty of seating and the parking is simple. Definitely worth trying if you're in the area. read more

Country food at reasonable prices. Yeast rolls are great. Best of all it is locally owned and operated.

Great Texas home cooking once we found the restaurant, since Yelp has the wrong address listed. Go to Google maps and you will find it. We had the chicken fried steak which always very good including the vegetables. read more

Great down home cooking, huge portions and affordable

Really good home cooking! I had 1/2 order American catfish and husband had 1/2 order chicken fried steak, very good fresh & hot!

Yuck!!!! Saw a mouse last time I was there. I hate it because I grew up eating here & it used to be a great place for a "home-cooked" tasting meal. I WILL NOT go back! I had heard they had been shut down numerous times for health code violations & should have heeded the warning. If I have to pick my feet up to keep a mouse from running over my toes, no thank you....you can keep your rolls with honey.... read more

The food at this restaurant has been the same my whole life. Great place for quick casual dining. Good home cooking very relaxed atmosphere.

The service was great! The food was well prepared; but the one thing that needs to be done is to tone down the salt. That is the only reason I gave it one less star than they deserve. I don't know if I could just request "no salt", or not. Next time I go, I will do that. Seriously, I could add my own salt to taste. It is a pleasant place to dine with friendly Texans. :D read more

Dixie Diner is my favorite place to eat in Texarkana . There are several occasions that I have eaten at this restaurant and never once have I encountered a bad experience or a unfriendly person There have been quite a lot of times that I have been to this restaurant and not only have I never had to wait for a table at this location but have been greeted with the most kind staff. As I was new to Texarkana , I did not know my way around very well , on my first trip eating at Dixie Diner A waitress took the time to give recommendations on other local places to eat and visit . Additionality , the food did take a little longer than expected to get , but as an apology for waiting time our entire table was offered free dessert . Furthermore , on the one occasion that our wait time was long , it was well worth it . Every dish I have ever had at the diner was like home cooking and so delicious . On another occasion the manager himself checked on out table to make sure we did not need any further attention and that everything we had was satisfactory . In addition , he started up a conversation about the baseball game our group had just come from watching (and playing in) and participated with our entire table . Some people may find the attention odd , but being from a small town receiving the home town feel and being welcomed makes me feel a little like home . Every time I have visitors and family in town Dixie Diner is the first place I recommend for any meal of the day and they have never been disappointed , but have actually requested to go back on other trips . Also , If you ever get the chance to visit the diner , their desserts are a must try ! The diner makes fresh pies daily and their strawberry pie with whole fresh strawberries is the best aside from their homemade banana pudding of course. Overall , Dixie Diner is the perfect place to eat if driving through or for any occasion . It has the best homestyle cooking , fresh desserts , and all the staff make you feel like you're at home with their friendly helpful attitudes . Although I already recommend it to any and everyone I think it is a wonderful place to try to for everyone read more

Great food and service! Everything is made from scratch, including the salad dressings, and you can taste the difference.

I ADORE the rolls and Strawberry Pie!!! Other things are pretty yummy too...Good Service...I come here often...

We live in a small town of Taylor, Ar. We shop Texarkana, like most sourth Arkansas. We love to eat at Dixie Diner!!!! We want who ever owns Dixie Diner to come and put one in at Magnolia! We are the right size town, it needs to be put on the by-pass out by Walmart or by the college. I am just hoping who ever is in charge will take this serious and come look. read more

There is a moldy oder as soon as you walk in. Don't look up unless you want to see complete filth. Water stained ceiling tiles. Dust bunnies all around air vents from nasty old A/C filters. The food is ok Service is good. read more

I would rather eat cardboard and set myself on fire before ever going back to this place, but I would eat some of their rolls if it was the only place in this world left to eat. read more

Well the only thing that brings this place with license plates wall to wall is that every single time i go there the bread is stale i mean all the other choices are good but the stale bread that why i bring down one star. read more

We were anxious to get home to Texas after being in Nashville for vacation. We arrived in Texarkana just in time for dinner and Yelp led us to this place. I am SO glad it did!!! This place was the perfect "welcome home"! The yeast rolls they bring to the table are PERFECT! Try them with butter and honey, which is already on the table. Yum! The cornbread wasn't bad either, but being from the south, I like mine sweeter. This leads me to the sweet tea, which is also PERFECT! My husband and I both ordered the chicken fried steak. I agree with all the other reviews in saying it was by far one of the best chicken fried steaks I've ever eaten. We got the twice baked potatoes and fried okra, which both were amazing! This leads me to dessert.....you better plan to save room for it because the pies live up to everything else here. We had the strawberry pie and coconut pie and we recommend both! The staff is just as excellent as the food. Everyone was very friendly and polite. The manager walked around checking on people and thanking them for coming in. FYI: the lock in the men's bathroom has been fixed. :) read more

First experience and last. We went to this diner while traveling through Texarkana and I ordered French toast and two scrambled eggs. The bread for the French Toast was so small and two pieces instead of the usual Three in most restaurants. My husband ordered an omelet and not surprisingly it came out burnt and extremely greasy/oily. The young waitress was clueless because I mentioned the eggs were burnt and the griddle was too hot but she turned and walked away. This place was empty so I don't know what her rush was to get away. In reviewing remarks, I guess people in this mid-size town are okay with this but we will just keep heading out of town! read more

A good local establishment but you never know what you're going to get some times the food can be great sometimes it may take you forever to get your food that's why I gave it three stars. read more

Driving back to Austin from Arkansas with my Mom and stopped in here for lunch and a much needed break. It was so good! My Mom (82) had half order of chicken fried steak cream gravy, potato soup, and greens. I had meat loaf, black eyed peas, and greens. Yeast rolls and cornbread were abundant. Good home cooking. Busy busy during lunch hour with lots of locals. That's always a good sign. Pie case looked inviting, but I wanted to make it home alive. Reasonable price. 7.95 for half orders of lunch specials. Lol, and my mom ate every bit. she said the cfried steak was so tender she could cut it with her fork! read more

We stopped by The Dixie Diner on our way home from Arkansas. We wanted to try some place local, but we weren't sure how good the service would be since we came in about 30 minutes before closing time. Dan greeted us warmly and assured us we were welcome and that we had plenty of time to eat. Our server Akeela was so nice and immediately brought us a basket of fresh, warm rolls and cornbread. We ordered the chicken fried steak, pot roast, and meatloaf, and every bit of the food was hot, fresh, and delicious! We topped off our dinner with slices of their homemade pies (coconut cream, chocolate, and strawberry), and the strawberry was AMAZING! It was honestly one of the best dining experiences we've had and we will certainly return on future road trips. Great family dining experience, home-cooked food, and fast, friendly service. We definitely recommend The Dixie Diner! Stop in and tell Dan the Dieterichs say hello and gig 'em! read more

The chicken fried chicken was amazing! The fried okra was clearly fresh- never been frozen. Choices of brown and white gravy so the whole table was happy. The rolls and cornbread are to die for. We will be back! read more

As a person who travels every week for work I have to say the level of service that I received here is second to none. Good food, especially the rolls, and a very attentive staff you can't ask for anything better. read more

The food is bland and flavorless, just grease. This place never looks well kept or clean, and I can't imagine what the kitchen is like given the health department closures. I used to work in this shopping center and gave up eating here after getting sick twice. read more

We were cheerfully welcomed, seated, and served by Brianna, who just did an excellent job and was charming and refreshing to visit with. Our food was very good. Every dish had a great taste to it. My wife had the small portion of the chicken fried steak, which I regretted after I tasted it. If she'd got a larger portion, I could have eaten a little more. She had green beans and greens. She said they were very good. I ordered bacon-wrapped chop steak, green beans and a twice-baked potatoe. The steak was tasty and plentiful. The beans were fresh and tasty. Even the potatoe had a really good taste. The rolls they bring out are delicious. Butter and honey, oh,my! I ended the meal with strawberry pie. Usually I'm not a big strawberry pie fan, but the comments on Yelp and the scrumptious look of it in the display case as we walked in convinced me. Best strawberry pie I've ever eaten! There were a lot of locals eating there, and obviously regulars. Many were greeted by name as they came in. I heartily recommend this diner. Ask for Brianna, and tip generously! read more

the expo that was working that night loaded me up on my mash and gravy and I believe his name is Shawn Gunderson he did a good job.

the service bad the food worse it was just a terrible experience and I will go back out of support of my best frieneds hot sister but it just was bad read more

The Dixie Diner on State Line really made me question why i ever pay to eat out! The food was way too greasy, too salty, and cold! All of it had to be taken back to be microwaved! WAIT, i thought i was paying for a HOT MEAL, not a microwaved one!? Our food might as well have been dropped on the floor, which i dont doubt it was. I have worked in the restraunt buisness before, and i can garuntee you that the quality of this food is VERY POOR. I was very dissapointed, and when i requested to speak to a manager, a rather rude man came out. Lets just say that he definately convinced me to never come back again! He seemed rather slow, and could not answer any of my question. Overall, I do not advise that you try this "home country cooking." The enviornment is very unfriendly and nothing good came out of our visit! STEER CLEAR!! read more

Rarely do I submit four stars to anyplace. For starters its about the Pot Roast and Halibut, to the meat-loaf and Pork-Chops. That, is what all of us enjoyed, and no one complained. That's a first coming from my family. The Coconut Pie was to die for and the Rolls were amazing. Cant wait to go back when we get down that way again. Oh, I almost forgot about the veggies, they were superb as well. Atmosphere was cool and relaxed and the manager seemed to be enjoying his job as well. read more

I've eaten at some of the other places here that have 4-5 stars and though they are good, Dixie Diner has them beat HANDS DOWN!~ I'm not sure why some give the others higher reviews than Dixie but good grief, Dixie Diner has the BEST crawfish Etouffe in town, chicken and dressing, great potato soup, pot roast and several other entrees and the hot rolls and cornbread start before the meal and just keep coming. Great southern cooking and GREAT atmosphere. Get there early on Sunday's at lunch because it's packed for good reason. read more

I've lived in Texarkana all my life and used to go to the Dixie Diner after church on Sundays with my grandparents. It used to be delicious. I stopped going with them several years ago and just recently came back. When I did, the service was terrible, there was a fly frozen in my mom's ice in her tea, and an employee left the restroom without washing her hands!! We waited 30 minutes just for our drinks! The fly was the last straw. We just got up and left. However, when we approached the manager, she was on the phone and was paying no attention whatsoever to us. I don't know if I'll ever go there again. read more

It seems since the other location on state line closed, the food has gone down hill. First and foremost, I ate at the other location quite frequently. I decided to try this location. At first i was a little underwhelmed. I don't understand why things were different, but they are. My wife and I went just yesterday and I got so mad that I refused my plate. I ordered a full plate grilled chicken dinner with two sides. The rolls came out and were good enough. Then my wife and my food came out. Hers was fine. Chicken fried chicken. Mine was TOTALLY INSULTING! First, the chicken breast was so small, it resembled the breast of a parakeet! Honestly it was about 3.5 half inches wide! This is supposed to be a full chicken breast! The manager came over after hearing from our waitress that I have a problem. HE tells me that MIKE the owner, has been cutting the food size while raising the prices! Management isn't happy with it and people have been complaining. So I challenge you, fellow yelpers, to go to this location and make it known you will get what you pay for. It was $12 when it used to be 7 or 8! Sounds to me that there are problems with money that is causing him to cut food and raise prices. PLEASE LET THEM KNOW WHERE YOU LEARNED OF THIS AND FROM WHOM! My name is Jason and my wife is Shanion. We ate there at around 8 on 11/3/14. Flipped out about the size of the chicken/gerbil breast! Lets make this stop! Thanks. read more
