I had breakfast with two High School friends Saturday. I couldn't get over how old & infirm they looked. Thankfully, I haven't aged one bit! This was my first visit to the Old Dixie Cafe in Hobe Sound, FL as it is situated roughly halfway between the three of us. The Cafe was quite a surprise. It was very clean, the staff was very efficient and friendly and the menu had a wide variety of items at very reasonable prices. Our Waitress took our orders and immediately returned with our drinks. When she returned appropriately 6-minutes later we all remarked at the size of the portions and how good everything looked. And it was. During the meal the waitress returned to check on us and refill our drinks. It was a pleasure eating at the Old Dixie Cafe and we agreed to return there often. I only hope my friends remember where it's located & that we've eaten there before. read more

Very solid place for breakfast on a recent morning. Nice music in the background and food was good; omelette, giant pancakes and grits. Pro tip. Just order one pancake! Good service. Prices of beverages was high but food prices very fair. read more

Great place to stop by for a meal. It is pretty casual. The service was great and the food was delicious. We will come back here again.

Had breakfast here again and it is a very nice clean diner with good service. The food was very good as usual. I had the everything omelet and my friend had the Italian wrap both of which were delicious. The waitress was helpful and friendly. I definitely recommend. read more

Old Dixie Cafe North - The chef salad! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hobe Sound, Florida

Never been to this establishment so decided to head south and give it a try considering I just got into town and wanted a bloody mary (wish they added to menu) but started off with a mimosa instead. Nothing fancy, pretty basic with a sizable menu, friendly staff, many locals. Prices are modest, and so was my breakfast choice. Two poached eggs, sausage links, rye bread, and grits. Grits were spot on, rye bread was super fresh and warm as if it just came from bakery, and probably the best poached eggs I have ever had by any breakfast joint to date. Nothing fancy, but food and staff speaks for itself. read more

Stop in for breakfast and wasn't thrilled. It was not busy! I order the Taylor ham and cheese sandwich $9.95 without the egg and a side of home fries $1.75. Husband got French toast and bacon . Food came out lukewarm and we never saw our server again. Get our bill and I got charged $11.39! for the sandwich !! Not impressed read more

Visited Old Dixie Cafe in Hobe Sound, FL, for brunch with my grandfather, and it was a lovely experience. This small café has a cozy atmosphere where everyone knows everybody.

Definitely a great spot for a hearty breakfast and a friendly, local vibe! read more

Great breakfast! Waffles are amazing! Best grits! Definitely will go back. Service was amazing!

Aside from the cringy name, we gave this cafe a try after catching the sunrise on a weekday. The coffee and service were good. My French toast was tasty, albeit not very hot, more like warm. The hubs had a western omelette with hash browns, which were crispy and hot. read more

Had asked a bacon egg and cheese on a Kaiser roll and got a hamburger bun.... Doughy and disgusting

I have been going to Old Dixie Cafe North for years. Food is always good. Plenty of it and the staff is very pleasant and helpful. When we have company there is always at least one or two meals that we go there for. I would highly recommend it for casual dining, good food and the prices are comparable to everyone else around. read more

I've eaten there for breakfast and lunch quite a few times with my wife. Excellent food for a diner style Café. They do pay attention to detail and quality service is very friendly. You can't go wrong with this place. Just a good chill atmosphere no stress and the food is awesome. read more

2nd visit for breakfast! This time I ordered one of my favorites and was disappointed. 1/2 order of sausage gravy and biscuit and 2 eggs over medium. I only wanted to order 1 egg but they only offer two eggs, no price for just one egg. The biscuit was overdone, looks like it was put on the grill way to long, not fluffy biscuit. Not much gravy but it tasted good. I'll try it again for breakfast but order something else. The restaurant looks good and clean and very pleasant atmosphere, NO LONGER CLUTTERED, new owner!! read more

I typically come in for breakfast and like the Dixie Supreme. I sit at the bar and servers are typically very attentive.

Love the Old Dixie Cafe North- the servers Troy and Mia are superb. I came in for breakfast - it was delish!!! My mum frequents your establishment and ask me to stop in. I'm super happy I did!

I stopped in on a whim. I have been to the southern location (Jupiter) and am aware this is a different owner. I arrived at 10:00 so I think I missed the morning rush. It is still pretty active, but no lines or waiting. I ordered the everything omelet which presented well. However, it tastes like cinnamon. I did. It read if everything included cinnamon so I can't really complain. The servers were super. read more

Old Dixie Cafe North - Hot open roast beef! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hobe Sound, Florida

I just had a gourmet meal at.....yes, wait for it....Old Dixie Cafe North! After the new management took over, this iconic local hangout changed. The decor is more subtle, TV screens of different channels have replaced the eclectic collections of posters. The honky tonk music is there. The wait staff that looks like real southern cafe wait staff is there. No sexy outfits or excess makeup and nonsense. Just hard working wait staff concerned about your food service. No kids that know nothing but adults that do this for a living. The booths and tables may be a bit freshened up but mostly the same basic furnishings. They serve beer and wine now. No wine list just types and the beer is a good selection, not a dozen or more. I've only eaten lunch here until tonight. I have to say that it has become a staple choice when I need a generously packed tuna wrap of fresh ingredients and some crispy French fries. No dinner menu try out until tonight. I'm an accomplished chef. If I order something special, it better be right. I boldly ordered the Veal Piccata. Go big or go home. I choose the salad and bread instead of the soup. Fried calamari was the choice of appetizer. A garlic 'sauce' was brought with what appeared to be a fresh, soft non commercial bread roll. Wow. It was more of a garlic oil pesto that screamed garlic and if the garlic had been roasted, would have avoided the 'bite' of raw garlic. That would have made it palatable to a larger audience but I love raw garlic so it was perfect. The salad was fresh and simple in an angled bowl perfect for salads. The silverware and plating is basic. Cafe style. Trust me the food doesn't need upgraded dinnerware. The homemade balsamic dressing was just what it needed to be. Not tart, not sweet, just right. I indelicately tipped the bowl up to my mouth to finish the dregs it was so perfect. The sauce for the delicately cooked calamari was also perfect. Little slices of garlic in a meaty red sauce without too much or too little. When my main dish arrived, there was no fuss or pretense, just a generous serving. I have sent back veal at expensive restaurants because it just wasn't prepared correctly. Three slender filets perfectly pounded lay on top of my choice of Angel Hair pasta. A generous but not excessive amount of sauce and capers covered everything. I took my knife (not needed) and fork and sliced into what proved to be a very tender, perfectly cooked veal filet. My first mouthful presented a light, lemony bite of tender veal. I was very surprised. Not because it's a cafe. I was surprised because even high end restaurants can ruin this simple recipe. I was surprised because the veal wasn't the finest cut, there was a small piece of grizzle in one, but because of the preparation, it rivaled a finer cut. The pasta was cooked a drained perfectly before pairing on the plate. I had one suggestion for our manger/waitress. I asked her to please arrange, for people like me, to offer a corkage fee for the diner to bring their own wine. If you were going to appreciate that pasta, you may want your own vintage. Best of all I can relax in a casual atmosphere, free of pretense and unnecessary high costs. My meal was $20.99. I have found my new go to dinner location. Please don't try it, I hate crowds! read more

The biscuit and eggs over light were perfect.But the corn beef hash tasted like it was the canned version, not at all homemade., And it was mushy. I'm a good cook. I use left over beef chopped and cold boiled potatoes chopped. Combine and saute in butter. Easy and delicious. read more

The Dixie Café is a funky little place frozen in time. They are open one day a week for dinner (Monday - and this place is a BYOB), but open seven days a week (5:30 AM - 2:00 PM) for breakfast and lunch. Being a local of Hobe Sound and having never been here, we invited some friends to try it out on a Monday night at the close of the season when we thought everyone had headed back north. Put it this way, the parking lot in front was filled and for good reason. This place offers great comfort food at long ago prices. My wife had the Osso Buco (fall off the bone delicious). Two of us had the Chicken Parmesan (be prepared to take some home) and our other friend had the Turkey dinner that disappeared off his plate in no time flat. Since then, I have had the meatloaf (ho-hum)... I was not crazy about the canned cut string beans as a side. The stuffed pepper soup was delicious, as was the lobster bisque a friend said.. My only recommendations would be to add a little more seasoning to the Chicken Parmesan and sauce used for the pasta. I would also like to see a little more effort put into the salads, which come with the dinners; they were a bit too basic (add in a few slivers of red peppers, diced celery (Place them off to the side if you think folks will complain) and the dressings were pretty canned (those little plastic containers, albeit easy, add to landfills by the tones). Even adding some bottles of virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar on the table would be a great improvement. As for service. We had just sat down and within 30 seconds we were asked if we were ready to order--this kept happening every 30 seconds. I know this is normally a diner for breakfast and lunch, but on Monday nights, when you are opened for dinner, please treat it a little more like a dinner restaurant by not trying to reach over people to clear the table every five 2 minutes while others are still eating. After four times here, the service remains the same. A little too fast diner service for dinner service. read more
