Old Dixie Cafe North

What an excellent place to get southern style food cooked to perfection. A little taste of home. Pleasant workers are in abundance in this establishment. Kudos to the management. Our server Nicole was the best, and on her recommendation, we will come in and try breakfast. I highly recommend stopping in and giving them a try.

Big breakfast at a good price! Couldn’t ask for more. Eclectic mix of young and old make Old Dixie Cafe North a great place for a Sunday breakfast with the family.

Had breakfast for lunch at 2 o’clock and it was amazing. Homemade gravy was on point staff treated us like family and definitely the best part of the meal will definitely come back huge menu.

If you love the Mom and Pop places this is a great pick!! Staff was so pleasant seated us right away. Large menu and selection of foods. Breakfast Lunch and Dinners. The portions were huge. The food was delicious 😋 super fresh and definitely made with Love. We had the mushroom and meat lovers omelette Amazing place to meet up for coffee or grab a bite with friends family and the kids. Highly recommend! All was super clean. Parking lot is a little tight be sure to pay attention to the one way in and one way you do need to go around the side back to leave the parking lot lol. Looks like you can't but you can it's like a secret path haha 😂. Overall perfect experience meeting with my friend.

Love this cafe!! Went on a Sunday and it was very busy. They still sat us extremely fast! We sat outside and it was gorgeous out and the service was top notch! The food took a little longer but we were in no rush and it's expected with how busy they were! The food came out hot and fresh! It literally hit the spot! Would recommend to anyone and will be back for sure!!

I found this place one day while I was working in the area. I had a great breakfast and decided to try the place the next time I was in the area and I was not disappointed. Now it's become my favorite place to go to eat when I'm visiting Hobe Sound. Just great food, great service, great staff, and just a great experience. This time around I had to have the wings and fries again. I will say the place does get very busy at times and as long as you're patient with them you will get great service as usual.

Great casual spot to get dinner. I got comfort food on Meatloaf Monday. My husband loves the Lasagna. My daughter really likes the wraps!! Waitresses are friendly, good prices and you can even grab a beer or glass of wine if you like!

My buddy Joe said that was the best hash brown he's ever had.

I ate grits so fluffy they tasted like clouds

Eggs were cooked just right.

Folk's were friendly. Heck we sang with a waitress.

I'm glad I live close to Old Dixie North Diner. So I can go back there again.

Thank you.

Big smiles!

Update: Went back for lunch and had the House Panini and it was one of the best I’ve ever had! Also highly recommended is the Turkey, Ham and Cheese Club! What a great way to start the New Year!!!

This is the best restaurant in the area!

Breakfast all day, because it's the most important meal of the day!

Nicole and Troy are super nice and very helpful. They honestly make you feel right at home! They offered great suggestions which didn’t disappoint! The service was fast and the orders came out quick.
It feels more like a family reunion than a restaurant. The kindness is amazing. You don't find places like this anymore.

The food is delicious and if you’re hungry, you won't be when you leave. We had the Southern Scramble and the Country Fried Steak with Scrambled Eggs and (cheese), home fries and homemade biscuits! Absolutely WOW!!!!

Breakfast specials every day til 10 lunch specials every day as well. They are in the corner of the plaza, come in and see them you won't be disappointed!

Very clean, Finally I got a real bacon egg and cheese sandwich on a kaiser roll food was perfect. Staff was perfect and the atmosphere was exactly what I wanted. I've been back twice in less than two weeks.

I'm not a breakfast person. We were seated right away & our waitress took our order. The food was hot & delicious!😋. The atmosphere was great.

I have visited this location multiple times recently at different times of the day. I am very impressed with the friendly atmosphere, and great food no matter the time of day. My go to. The staff is friendly and accommodating.

Great food! I usually get breakfast, but tried something different and I am really glad! Arugula salad with blackened mahi-mahi, an antipasto and a slice of real homemade cheesecake were our choices and everything was fresh and delicious!

Have gone there for breakfast for awhile now and decided to try it out for dinner. To my surprise, they have quite a fancy selection of Italian entrees to choose from. I was a bit skeptical to order sautéed mussels and traditional Italian cuisine from a diner but I gave it a swing and I was blown away. Everything was just as good as the breakfasts I’ve had, if not better. Will definitely be making this a regular family visit and you should too! The owner was so nice to us and the staff is always on point. Happy to support a local family owned business doing things the right way!

I just had a gourmet meal at…..yes, wait for it….Old Dixie Cafe North! After the new management took over, this iconic local hangout changed. The decor is more subtle, TV screens of different channels have replaced the eclectic collections of posters. The honky tonk music is there. The wait staff that looks like real southern cafe wait staff is there. No sexy outfits or excess makeup and nonsense. Just hard working wait staff concerned about your food service. No kids that know nothing but adults that do this for a living. The booths and tables may be a bit freshened up but mostly the same basic furnishings. They serve beer and wine now. No wine list just types and the beer is a good selection, not a dozen or more. I’ve only eaten lunch here until tonight. I have to say that it has become a staple choice when I need a generously packed tuna wrap of fresh ingredients and some crispy French fries. No dinner menu try out until tonight. I’m an accomplished chef. If I order something special, it better be right. I boldly ordered the Veal Piccata. Go big or go home. I choose the salad and bread instead of the soup. Fried calamari was the choice of appetizer. A garlic ‘sauce’ was brought with what appeared to be a fresh, soft non commercial bread roll. Wow. It was more of a garlic oil pesto that screamed garlic and if the garlic had been roasted, would have avoided the ‘bite’ of raw garlic. That would have made it palatable to a larger audience but I love raw garlic so it was perfect. The salad was fresh and simple in an angled bowl perfect for salads. The silverware and plating is basic. Cafe style. Trust me the food doesn’t need upgraded dinnerware. The homemade balsamic dressing was just what it needed to be. Not tart, not sweet, just right. I indelicately tipped the bowl up
to my mouth to finish the dregs it was so perfect. The sauce for the delicately cooked calamari was also perfect. Little slices of garlic in a meaty red sauce without too much or too little. When my main dish arrived, there was no fuss or pretense, just a generous serving. I have sent back veal at expensive restaurants because it just wasn’t prepared correctly. Three slender filets perfectly pounded lay on top of my choice of Angel Hair pasta. A generous but not excessive amount of sauce and capers covered everything. I took my knife (not needed) and fork and sliced into what proved to be a very tender, perfectly cooked veal filet. My first mouthful presented a light, lemony bite of tender veal. I was very surprised. Not because it’s a cafe. I was surprised because even high end restaurants can ruin this simple recipe. I was surprised because the veal wasn’t the finest cut, there was a small piece of grizzle in one, but because of the preparation, it rivaled a finer cut. The pasta was cooked a drained perfectly before pairing on the plate. I had one suggestion for our manger/waitress. I asked her to please arrange, for people like me, to offer a corkage fee for the diner to bring their own wine. If you were going to appreciate that pasta, you may want your own vintage. Best of all I can relax in a casual atmosphere, free of pretense and unnecessary high costs. My meal was $20.99. I have found my new go to dinner location. Please don’t try it, I hate crowds!

Wonderful breakfast! My son I both had the chocolate chip pancakes with sausage and they were very good. Definitely a great local place.

Had the Friday night fish and chips special tonight. Excellent and more than we could finish. Coming from New England, this is the best fish and chips we have had so far. Service was great and waitress was pleasant and attentive. Highly recommend

The chicken Parm was dinner was awesome the rolls were awesome service awesome highly recommend this place great parking total package

What a great turn around in the last couple of years from the previous owners. These ladies work hard and the food is very good for Hometown Hobe sound. The tuna salad is exceptional. Made fresh every day as well as the chicken salad. Best burgers in town.

Very nice diner for breakfast, brunch, and lunch. Great quaint and quiet setting, has a great home town vibe! Sit up at the bar and eat with the locals. Food is always great, good portions, fair price, and fantastic service. Highly recommend 👌
