This creole/cajun restaurant on the South Side offers a taste of the south right in Chicago. It offers authentic fare such as jambalaya and red beans and rice at very affordable prices. The memorabilia that covers the walls only adds to the authenticity, as will the occasional southern drawl you will hear from your fellow diners.

Set in the Hyde Park neighbourhood, which is home to the gothic campus of the University of Chicago, this eclectic eatery fits into an area that boasts a wide variety of residents. Enjoy an afternoon walking the quads on campus and then mosey along to Dixie Kitchen for fried green tomatoes, gumbo and some delicious peach cobbler, you will be glad you did.
