A spectacular eatery and historical landmark of KC since 1916! What a pleasure to eat here once again! Just off the path of I-70 hwy but in a “rough area!” The food is as it always has been, WONDERFUL! As the name says, they’re known for their chili , but don’t pass up a great hamburger, hotdog, or tacos! The staff is friendly, the facility is as clean as it’s ever been! Grab a table or sit at the counter, and enjoy an old school meal with cheap prices!

We were so excited to try this place out. Restaurant is very clean. Very busy! We weren’t impressed with the tacos or their famous chili. The supreme burrito was pretty tasty and very LARGE! The main reason we love this place is their New Orleans style tamales! OMG! We buy 2 dozen for carry out occasionally. They do not disappoint. We love them plain!

This was our first time,but won’t be our last! I just got the chili, now when I goe back will try the hamburger and then tacos(which is all you can eat all day everyday!) You build your own chili and add fixings you like we chose beans and meat Juicy(which is meat juice) you add more chili powder to your liking, I asked for sour cream,cheese,and onions and there was plenty of each!! Also had jarred peepers with vinegar in each table for a little more spice, we were in and out in no time and forgot about being busy for lunch but still got our food really fast! We will definitely have to put this on our rotation of places we regularly visit!

Food is delicious. Portion sizes are very generous. Servers are very friendly. Restaurant has a down-home feel to it. I highly recommend Dixon’s Famous Chili.

You either love it or hate it I love to appreciate it… But one of the oldest restaurant in Kansas City or Independence I should say that Harry S, Truman frequented of the past 100 years; is still a family owned, operated, and retired from; just as my Daddy, Howard Gettel did after over 40 years of running a tight shop ; I walked in and seen Becky and blue eyes. I’ve known my whole life and Francine; whom I worked with, and I’ve known, since I was six; 42 years now..menu is cool, place atmosphere, and the one thing that stays the same; the recipes. My tamales spread was wonderful yesterday and since I know who does their pies, I love Apple and cheesecake with cherry pie so I can put the cherry pie filling in the right deposit of the thing it belongs in cherry pie.. so I went and check stuff up and list made my mom‘s night and my own. I recommend this place for the rest of my life. You’ll either love it hate it, there’s always cheeseburgers and tacos.

Dixon’s is consistent. The chili powder and sauce make it unique. It’s fun to take new people and see how many tacos they can eat.

It’s really loud in there. Hard to have a conversation. The food was okay. The taco salad had a lot of good seasoned meat, but the only veggie you get is lettuce and I got about 7 tortilla chips. Just not a lot of bulk. My husband would have loved it. I just require more vegetables in my taco salad. Very mundane, which a lot of folks like. I’m too food snobby to come here much.
