What People Are Saying About Dixie Kitchen & Bait Shop

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.

BEST Southern Food in Chicagoland
by MsTexas
I LOVE THIS PLACE! I'm from Texas and when I need good southern, homecooking I head to Evanston. The fried okra reminds me of moms (shhh, don't tell her). The biscuits and gravy are a must for brunch...seriously, I can't say enough about how good they are. Love the fried catfish (would throw some black pepper and canjun spice in the mix)...but it is really good. Love the fried chicken...I think you see the pattern here for fried! The service is great, but I do miss the chicory coffee...bring iti back! Def my favorite place for southern and soul food!
- Pros: FRIED OKRA!, great service, parking
- Cons: sometimes there are too many kids,

Good service & Tasty Food!
by michelleeats
There's nothing like sitting down at a restaurant and getting warm mini corn-pancakes in the bread basket. They've got crazy flavorful Jamaican chicken wings and huge salads. Sadly, I was a little dissappointed with their cornbread though...dry and didn't have a strong corn flavor. :( Decent prices though!

My favorite eats in Evanston
by jaypee
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

The 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.
