Editorial Review for Dixie Kitchen & Bait Shop – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Zydeco music plays as college students and Evanstonians relax at checkered vinyl tablecloth-topped tables amidst hutches of colorful dishes, vintage product containers and advertising memorabilia. The Southern delta cooking includes cornmeal johnnycakes with honey butter; spicy barbecued shrimp; and hot, juicy, cornmeal-crusted oysters. There's also a Southern sampler that features jambalaya, gumbo, and red beans and rice. For dessert, pecan pie is a crowd-pleaser.

Insider Tips
What to DrinkThe bloody marys are moderately spiced and served in mason jars. For something sweeter, go with the mimosa--it's served in a smallish glass, but contains a healthy dose of champagne.

I've been to Dixie Kitchen about six times now and must say I love this place. Everything from the cornbread pancakes to the jumbalaya to the fried chicken is outstanding and very reasonably priced. This isn't the place to go if you want to eat healthy, but if you want food that tastes great, this is the place.
Pros: great food, inexpensive, good menu variety
Cons: kinda small

I have been to the Dixie Kitchen on two occassions. Both times we had to wait between 45-60 minutes for a table. There is no where is sit and wait either. Everyone just crowds around the door. The food is so-so. The muffins are dry, and in my experience the vegetables have always been overcooked. The portions are large, but rather tasteless. However, there are several items on the menu, like the gumbo, that were worth a return trip. The service has also been average.
Cons: Parking, No Reservations
