  My favorite historically decorated cafe in this country town.  Everyone, including the customers, are so friendly.  Reminds me of where my Dad is from!  I want to live in Hearne because of this restaurant.
  
  One time my car broke down over an hour from home, and the restaurant let me stay and charge my phone late at night until the tow truck came from miles and miles away.  They checked on me  and were conversational like nurses.  If all waitstaff were so caring!
  
  While there I started to get an appetite, and they recommended the chicken fried chicken with potatoes and beans and it was so good!
  
  I came back tonight, and as usual they were busy, and saw Megan who was one of the waitresses who helped me.  She remembered me and the details from so long ago!
  
  The girl at the register was also sweet and friendly.  She recommended the juicy chicken fried chicken sandwich.  The thick and crispy batter onion rings were $1.79 extra.  They include the ketchup and mayo in the bag without asking.  Everything came just like I ordered.  They gave me a roll and cornbread as well, although it took a while to come out.  They must have made it fresh because they were very chewy and flavorful.  I had leftovers ... You get a lot for your money here.  
  
  Dixie is very easy to find in a great location.  They have plenty of parking.  And don't forget the event postings in the hallway!  Go give them a try and experience southern hospitality!

  Came here for Breakfast.  They only serve breakfast on Saturdays & Sundays. Breakfast is over at 10:30 AM.  (See my Breakfast menú photo) Awesome diner with above excellent service.
  
  I ordered the Cowboy Breakfast - Chicken fried steak, 2 eggs, hash browns and a biscuit (See my photos). Eggs and hash browns tasted great.   I don't know what was up with the chicken fried steak but it was not tasty.  And the biscuit was hard, possibly over baked. Would prefer a flaky biscuit.
  
  The waitress was very fast and very patient. She was nice enough to even offer to give me a to go cup for my drink when I was paying at the register.
  
  I want to give a 5 star because of the excellence service but I have to give a 4 star due to the sub par meal.
  
  I would come back to give them another try.

  The chicken fried steak, steamed broccoli, fried okra, and spinach sides were all tasty 5 star goodies, my wife's chicken and dumplings only rated 3.5....she's an expert and the taste just wasn't top notch.  The yeast rolls 5 star items, 3 on the cornbread.  Next visit we'll both get the chicken fried steak!

  Cute little small town diner stop on our way to drop daughter to college.   Great menu choices.  Chose the club sandwich and thought it was tasty.  Loved the basket of rolls too.  Waitress and staff in general very friendly.  Good place to stop . . don't pass it up.

  What a great find!  The restaurant has excellent food.  I had the chicken fried steak, corn, and mashed potatoes. The chicken fried steak was a melt in your mouth tenderness with excellent flavor.  The gravy was creamy and added to the flavor.  The corn and mashed potatoes we delicious as well.  My wife had the meatloaf and it was excellent as well. A very generous portion.  
  
  The banana pudding is a must have.  Again the large portion is indeed a generously large portion.  It is definitely made from scratch and reminded me of the banana pudding my Mom used to make.  We will definitely visit this establishment when we are back in town.
