I stop in whenever I am passing through to get to Nicholasville. The last time I was in, my guest and I had a country ham sandwich that hits the spot. Ranging from a delicious muffin, milkshake or one of a kind dishes with the home cooked taste. Excellent place and friendliest of people.

Anytime I have to take my hubby to work I stop in for breakfast. It is always hot, cheap and fast. You get a really good portion too. I have never been there where it wasn't super clean either.

We were in Nicholasville and looking for a local place to have lunch. Dixie Cafe is just a few miles from Nicholasville and near the intersection of Keene Rd and Harrodsburg Rd in Jessamine County. This place is amazing! Everything on the menu looked great. We asked some of the locals what was good and all of them said that their breakfast was amazing as well as their lunch items. For me, it was a tough decision between the 1/3 pound burger or the daily special which was the chili dog, fries and a drink. I had the chili dog and it was delicious. Great chili on the dog and the fries were good and

Perfect place for a quick stop and a hot breakfast! Plenty of delicious food - we got the Dixie with sausage, fried potatoes, scrambled eggs and a biscuit.
My super hungry boyfriend left feeling very fat and happy! Will definitely stop by again!

This place is awesome. The staff was awesome, and handled our large crowd with professionalism. The food was delicious as well. I wish this location would open another location in Lexington, such great food and prices. I will go back when I’m in the area. If you haven’t been go check them out!

Great food and friendly service always make this a great stop. It's not a coffee shop, but they do have amazing homemade muffins. The menu is pretty straight diner-style and breakfast is served all open hours.
Hmmm ... only half my review posted. To continue, my favorite breakfast entry is the three egg scramble with potatoes. Add a scoop of their homemade salsa on top ... fantastic! So far, I have enjoyed every breakfast and lunch item I've sampled, but it's the combination of the food with the friendly and helpful staff that make this a 'must visit' for diner fans.

I have been here for breakfast several times and always enjoyed it! The food is wonderful! They have some really great "normal" foods, but also several combinations that are unique and really fun to try. I can't wait until the weather warms up and we can get out on the back porch again. Aside from the main cafe, their gifts and Irish groceries are great as well. The staff is especially friendly. I would definitely recommend taking the short drive to stop in and visit for breakfast or lunch!
