    Cornmeal crusted eggplant, greens, Creole noodles, flavor at 11.

    I was here last week on my lunch break and had the most flavorful dish I've eaten in quite some time. If I wasn't sitting so close to another person, I may have stuck my face in the bowl and licked it clean. Alas, decorum strikes again. The owner was such a delight, sharing her upcoming Juneteenth menu (which sounds awesome, by the way) and chatting about the history of the place and general things. Such a warm personality, incredible food, beautiful surroundings; lovely experience all around. (And they have a happy hour!)

    My sister stopped in to check out this new restaurant and bought me a pastry. I've been dreaming about this danish ever since I got it and can't wait to get another one. It tasted so fresh and the dough was just the right amount of flake. I haven't there myself yet but looking forward to trying out more items on the menu!

    Gumbo! So good!

    DixiePura is the name..and this chef is delivering flavor to the game!! Stop by on a Friday night to check this spot out. Greeted so kindly as soon as we walked in. First thing I noticed was how cute and intimate dixiepura is! Started with some drinks and app. We had the crab cakes, pork belly, and fingers! Everything was delicious but the fingers really were amazing! The mule was a delicious drink I just wish it was in a bigger glass. The chef came out and actually explained the dishes to us! You can tell she takes pride in her craft! I definitely recommend this spot! Perfect for a date night!

    This place was absolutely fantastic! It's a small, but mighty addition to the Southside restaurant scene. It's cute, feels homey, and is well decorated. The staff were attentive. The food was delicious! Apparently, they had just changed their menu and were eager to know what we thought. I didn't have anything to compare it to- but found it really good on its own accord. I'll be a frequent diner!

    Haven't ever had a meal like this! We had the exquisite privilege to dine at DixiePura Kitchen tonight. It was a wonderful blend of Southeast Asian and American Southern flavors. Chef Chloe Gould had us from the first bite! Service was wonderful and the space was such a intimate and chill vibe. Absolutely great date spot!! Here is some of what we had, but I honestly doubt you could go wrong with anything there. 1) Salmon Croquettes which were so delicate and delicious. 2) Southern Curry Braised Curry Greens Eggrolls. Had us hooked with flavor and spices from the first bite. 3)Cajun Seafood Gumbo Laksa. Full of flavor, tender seafood and rice. Southern Curry Potlikker Cornbread. Pot Likker and cornbread....what more could you want? Creole Do Chua (Marinated Cabbage & Vegetables) wonderfully crisp and just the right balance of acid and sweet. 4) Braised Southern Smoked Baby Back Rib, Hainanese Style Rice, Soy Garlic Chili Crisp, Charred Green Onion. Fall of the bone ribs with sauce so good we literally saved the leftovers to take home and eat it with the rice. Can't wait to come back and try the brunch menu!

    This review is long overdue. Chloe is such an amazing, kind, spirit. My husband and I stopped in during the holiday season, I was blown away by the food, the fusion ideas are great. I came for the collard green egg roll did not disappoint at all. The fried rice layered flavors were so good, my husband had the short rib, it fell right off the bone and it was in this reduction that was delicious. Chloe the chef/owner is one of those rare genuine people you meet that remind you that good people are in the world spreading their goodness. She gave us a world class experience, can't' wait to see what's next, Dixiepura is gonna be a force on the Chicago restaurant scene.

    I purchased a ticket for Chef Chloe's Southern Prosperity Menu, hosted on New Year's Day. Walking into Dixie Pura Kitchen felt like a warm, family greeting. There were people already seated, community-style. I was asked to introduce myself as my coat was taken. There were a few embraces, and then we got to it! This menu was prepared with love and intention. Chef Chloe explained the significance of each course, and the ingredients in those courses. She was also careful to note what was vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, etc. I have a gluten intolerance, and the menu was VERY accommodating. Chef Chloe also prepared wonderfully paired cocktails. Everything was delicious. Each bite had a depth of flavor. It all tasted like love. I had to take off early, and I had a warm send-off from everyone in attendance. It was a wonderful experience. I will return, and hope that you'll experience the magic and love of Dixie Pura Kitchen, also.

I promise myself next time I come back I HAVE TO TRY Something else on the menu the chicken & waffles is so good I just can't help myself. We went in as right when they open.. so it was quiet and our food came out quickly. But lines started forming shortly after. They were booked for the whole day with reservations- so glad we made them! The service was excellent. The owner came to our table to check in on us- it made a big difference.

The chicken was delicious and the pancakes were out of this world. Similar to some of the other comments, it would be nice to first come in, sit down, get relax then have someone take your order when dining in. However you place your order at the front door and then can sit down. The customer service lacked tremendously from the youthful stuff(late teens/very early 20's) But I will say the most underwhelming thing about this experience was the building. Inside & out it was very primitive & just flat out old. I know they just moved from another location and looking to get their foot in the door. But hopefully a renovation is in the plans. The inside is a bit of an eye soar. Needless to say, I would come back if in the area because of the food. But I wouldn't go out of my way patronize them.

Music is pretty loud in this small space. We decided on the 3 entrees for 69.00 with a glass of wine. We chose the pepper steak, smothered chicken, orange chicken, catfish and spaghetti, and the bbq catfish. Overall the food was ok., The bbq fish was a little to fishy and the smothered chicken was heavily salted. The star of our 6 dishes was the fried piece of catfish. The food came out quickly but nothing was piping hot. The server was OK as well, he did exactly what we expect of a server nothing more nothing less. I will say next time I would take the drive to the West side location, to me the food choices are better as well as the service.

Our server, Miguel, was phenomenal. She was attentive, fast, and gave us some spot-on recommendations. Per her advice, we ordered the deviled eggs with jalapeño, hands down the highlight of the table. The deviled eggs with paired with that subtle jalapeño kick was absolutely perfect. For the mains, the chicken and waffles were good, carrying that solid comfort food flavor you expect. The waffles were a bit soft for my taste. To drink, the sidecar was mixed perfectly, well-balanced, crisp, and hit the exact right note. Giving it 4 stars only because while the mains were good, the starters and the outstanding service from Miguel were what truly stole the show. I'll definitely be back to hang out at the bar again nest time I am in town!

We were greeted by the host in which I believe to be the manager. He was pleasant and welcome. The restaurant itself is aesthetically appealing and it gives an upscale vibe. We sat and didn't have to wait too long for the waitress. She was nice and assisted up accordingly! I ordered the bottle of champagne for mimosas with pineapple and orange juice and was pleasantly surprised by the $35 price since we're used to paying twice that back home. The food came out pretty quick and was hot and ready to eat. All of our food was good well and we all enjoyed our dishes. My only takeaway would be if guests ordered bottled water and/or champagne, the waitress should poor them into the glasses for you. From my experience, this is something that I thought was a norm. Overall, great place to eat!
