5/5 diner food! Service was super friendly but a little slower to bring bill and we weren't sure where to pay so we walked up To counter and paid there. The sandwich was so delicious and HUGE. I have been thinking about wanting to go get it again even if 30 minute drive (I was in the area). Potato soup hot and delicious. Hit the spot on a cold day. Fun nostalgic diner feel. Loved the murals outside. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by the Dixie Diner. They make one of the best sandwiches we've ever eaten. The Sicilian Pita is amazing. Flavorful, filling as the size is enough for two meals, and priced well. read more

I love this diner! It has a small town feel and all the waitresses know us. Every time we come in they all greet us. And the broiled chicken is freaking amazing! I had chicken and waffles for the first time this morning. The western omelet is my normal go to for breakfast. Come check them out! read more

Food is good. Most of the staff is great. What i have a problem with is now if there are 4 people at the table, you are automatically charged an 18% tip. This is not right, as most of the time your forgotten because the waitress knows she gets a good tip regardless. Not right. And because they don't tell you about it and it's not very noticeable on the check, guess what, your double tipping. Won't be going back due to the forced tipping and lack of service from it. read more

Great food, great service, great broasted chicken. It has become our replacement for Chicken King. It has become our first pick when we want to go to a good diner for a bite too eat. read more

We went to Dixie after seeing that another nearby diner wasn't opened yet and needed an emergency place for brunch. I am from out of towm and not used to the area. Dixie has a DINGY, run-down exterior but a clean interior. The food is like the food you'll get at any Waffle House or Denny's, but the prices here are amazing. AMAZING! I had an ice tea, no sweetener, with an egg white Corned Beef and Swiss omelette with hash browns and cinnamon toast. So much food for only $10! Yummy food and I ate everything. I can't say enough great things about the waitstaff. Our waitress was so friendly and attentive even though you just knew she was likely incredibly busy. Dixie is a nice hidden gem! read more

Food and service always good. I love the breakfasts and the chicken dinner. -------------------

This is where you want to go for perfect broasted chicken and a seriously good value for breakfast/lunch/dinner. I love the old school, unfussy atmosphere of this place, which nevertheless is clean and tidy. Service is very friendly. And the food is just honest, good comfort food -- which we all need from time to time! read more

Decent for a Coney place, service was average, ambience okay and bathrooms were clean. Chill wasn't your typical coney crap, little different, better than most diners. Ordered the Sicilian sandwich, disappointing, was not made as menu described. Excellent fries. read more

I took the waitress 15 minutes to come back to take our order after we first arrived. Then she also took the odor wrong and when asked for the bill, she developed an attitude. I didn't say anything, but she did avoid Leslie and the Dixi diner. read more

In the past the food was good but today it was terrible. The broasted chicken fingers were clearly frozen chicken fingers- cheap Tyson like crap. The loose meat hamburger was so spicy. The waitress with the odd large eyelashes was really rude. read more

Went through drive-thru last night and ordered a club sandwich (no tomato) with coleslaw and a patty melt with fries. The club sandwich was okay, the coleslaw and fries were excellent. The patty melt left a lot of be desired. The bread was not toasted at all, causing the bread to be extra soggy - not a good taste. The meat did not look appetizing either. I have enjoyed several good items from Dixie Diner, unfortunately the patty melt was not one of them. read more

The food was cold after a 45 minute wait. The owner doesn't seem to care, and wait staff doesn't seem to want to be there.

The food is very good. The waitress are very sweet and waits on you quickly. Love this place. The prices are pretty good too.

Myself and my family have been coming here for probably 20 or so years and I think its nice that they haven't renovated it into some modern gray and white type place. I like the older feel to it because it gives you that atmosphere where you feel like you're at home while at your local family diner. The food is always good, sometimes the hash browns aren't the best but it's okay because overall we really like this place for their breakfasts. My grandma also really liked the fried chicken dinners, not sure if they still have that but I'm pretty sure they do. Anyways, it's one of your local family-type diners with traditional American food. Very good place and the servers are usually very friendly and sweet. read more

I decided to give Dixie Diner a try when the first place I tried to go to was closed for remodeling. I didn't feel like eating in, so I got a carryout. I was debating between just the 4 piece broasted chicken or the dinner. The server told me they were having a special on a 4 piece white meat dinner that came with 2 breasts & 2 wings, so I ordered that, and I chose the salad and baked potato. The salad was of decent size, but rather ordinary -- head lettuce, a grape tomato or 2, a couple slices of cucumber & some onions. The baked potato was fairly large. I'm not sure if it was actually baked or microwaved & then wrapped in foil, but it was fine. The chicken, however, was definitely the star o the show. Two HUGE breasts -- one that had a wing still attached -- and 2 good-sized wings. Even after being in a styrofoam box for about 20 minutes (I still don't understand why restaurants put fried food in styrofoam, as it tends to steam the contents), it was still pretty crispy and hot. It was also nice and juicy, not too greasy and not overly-breaded. I will definitely remember this place the next time I want fried chicken; it's way better than either grocery stores or KFC. And based on others' reviews, I will try them for breakfast as well. read more

I love Dixie diner! I always get the chicken Greek salad, it has the best pink dressing that I can't resist. The staff is also always so sweet and welcoming! Great place overall! read more

Amazing food!! You get a lot for the price! Service was quick and easy! Really nice decor and seating!! Definitely recommend!!

We were in the area for an event and stopped in Dixie add afterwards for lunch. The service was very friendly and attentive. There's a lot to choose from on the menu and daily specials. We got a variety of breakfast items and chicken, along with a sandwich. The French toast was amazing, and even the kids portion was generous. They were unfortunately our of the cinnamon roll one. The broasted chicken was on point - crispy skin and extremely juicy on the inside. It's some of the best I've ever had, much better than that one local chain. The sides and soups are also pretty good and a big size. I would definitely stop here again if I was in the area. read more

This is the best chicken dinner around! The mashed potatoes are real and the gravy tops them off ! We love the rolls that come with it! The chicken is crispy but juicy! Way better than any competitive chicken! It's a little drive for take out but well worth it! read more

I'm from out of town--house-sitting for my parents for two weeks. As their bon voyage breakfast, we came to Dixie Diner because they had had "a good experience." We had a great experience! Our server was Leslie, and she had a good sense of humor--and importantly, attentive to my and my parents' respective hydration and caffeination needs. The food was AWESOME. They both got cinnamon bun french toast. Those were a generous size and tasted amazing. I got chocolate chip pancakes, and my mom gave me her extra frosting on the side to put on my pancakes*. My side of ham was unexpectedly delicious too. Two pieces of juicy, thin-sliced ham. If I hadn't filled up on pancakes I would have finished the last couple bites. I'm often hesitant to go out for breakfast, but with my hubby coming down from Canada, I may have to bring him to Dixie. read more

There are cobwebs in every window. Not clean at all!!! Not good to sit and eat in with dirty windows inside and out. Will not go back.. waterford resident all my life and this is sad. Gnats were an added bonus!! read more

Perfect spot for breakfast, lunch and late evening dinner. Staff is great, food is good! Definitely a great Corner spot to check out.

Always pleased with the broasted chicken and potatoes from Dixie Diner. Hearty portion of vegetables (I normally chose that option). In my humble opinion the best option for carry-out chicken in the Waterford/Clarkston area. Door dash always delivers in a timely manner and the food is hot. Not a fan of Chicken Shack. Pieces there are small and the product is expensive. read more

Large diner, big menu. Service was great and attentive and even during a busy lunch rush was pretty clean. Food quality (corned beef sandwich and soup, omelet) was what I would expect from a greasy spoon along the highway. Definitely would not go out of my way for this. read more

My boyfriend and I could be called regulars at this point, we love it here. It is basically a Coney Island type of food, but they also have delicious broasted chicken too. We usually get breakfast there. The breakfast skillet is my favorite, and their pancakes are so yummy, too. Good portions, quick service, and fair prices. Mary is the sweetest, we love when we get her as our server! read more

I visited on a Friday around 2:30pm. Absolutely great service with very attentive staff, clean tables, and a low-key unfussy environment. Coffee was a little weak, but not bad. I ordered the country fried steak and eggs with hashbrowns and rye toast. Pluses and minuses - the steak and gravy was pretty good! I'm a little spoiled - having grown up in Florida, I'm -admittedly- quite scrutinous about pepper gravy - so I will say it needed a little more pepper, but that's on the table and easily remedied. Steak was crisp and not soggy. I was very impressed that the chef had the forethought to serve the steak balanced on the steak knife and slightly elevated from the plate. This keeps steam from becoming trapped under the steak and soaking the breading underneath. Hashbrowns, unfortunately, were pretty mushy and mealy. It was 2pm so maybe it was the very last batch from the morning rush - who knows. But I do respect, again, that the chef tried to mitigate this by cooking the gas browns really well and crisping them up as much as possible to offset the other texture. They really know what they're doing. In all, I'll likely come back but I'm still looking for my new favorite diner. read more

Dixie Diner - Chicken fried steak , hashbrowns, scrambled eggs, rye toast, coffee, cranberry juice - Diners Near Me - Waterford, Michigan

My husband and I moved to Waterford almost 3 years ago, and after trying some of the other local diners, the Dixie has become our favorite! The drive thru is so convenient, the portions are big, and the chicken dinners are better than Zehnder's! The staff has always been kind and courteous when I call to order, which I appreciate since I'm HoH. Some of our favorites are the Coney Island, the country fried steak, breaded mushrooms, and biscuits and gravy. They've been a lifesaver these past 5 months especially since I'm pregnant and crave home style food. Thanks, Dixie Diner :) Can't wait to invite my mom to have lunch indoors with me here when COVID is over. read more
