The chili is pretty mild compared to other Cinci favorites. The reason I showed up: a 6-way. I was intrigued. It was good...but I think once is enough (they add fresh garlic to a 5-way). I live around the corner, so I prob won't return...not when I can walk to my own fridge! Overall, service was good.

Not bad at all! I wasn't in the mood for chili or any combination thereof, so I was pleasantly surprised that they had options at this drive-thru and eat-in site. I chose the turkey sandwich on wheat bread, accompanied by lettuce, tomato and mustard/mayo. Very impressive sandwich with two pickle spears and a bag of Husman's potato chips. The service wasn't speedy by any means, but hey, it was 10:45 a.m. and I was asking for lunch. Took my debit card and the employee at the window was very patient, in fact, super sweet as I added an unsweetened tea at the window! The sandwich was great...and I'll be back to try the chili!

I'm so glad this place is right around the corner from work... Not sure what the reason is, they haven't spread themselves too thin (like the other Cincy-style chili joints) or they just care about quality still, but this chili is brilliant concidering they're somewhat of a chain now... very thick and meaty unlike they're competitor's runny, watery recipes... This is the place to get great Cincy-style chili...

Hits the spot if you are in the mood for some chili. The menu has a lot more variety than Gold Star and Skyline. This location could use some renovations though.

I love chili mac! I love Cincinnati/Greek style chili! I love indie restaurants and small chains! I love beer! So, why would I not love this Dixie Chili parlor in Covington, KY? If you like the more famous Skyline Chili, there's a pretty good chance you'll like Dixie, too. Although the spicing is slightly different, the real difference is that Dixie is meatier, and thus, not as runny as Skyline (or Goldstar, for that matter). It's not as runny, but, hey don't you worry for one second, because you can still drink it out of the can while driving to work! More on that later. Just one of many cool difference between Dixie and the other brands is that Dixie parlors also offers a "6 way." In chili mac lingo, a 6-way is a 5-way, plus chopped garlic. I've tried this once. It was good. It was different. I think, however, that the garlic overpowered the delicate flavor of the chili a little too much. I'll stick to my classic 4-way. (5-way has beans...too much bloating and flatus.) Dixie Chili is also available at super markets, or via the internet, in 10 ounce cans. You can also buy a case to take home at any of the three Dixie Chili parlors in Northern Kentucky. Now, you might be thinking "Did he actually say 'drink it out of a can while driving to work'? Seriously? Is he friggin' stupid or something?" Maybe, but let me explain... As it turns out, Dixie chili, at least in terms of macro-nutrients, is actually pretty damned healthy!! Ten ounces (two servings) of Dixie have 30 grams of protein, only 10 grams of fat, and only 10 grams of carbohydrates. That's better than most protein bars, and, chili tastes about a hundred times better!! Lately, I've been drinking a can of this stuff, room temperature, post-workout, on my way to work. (When I have more time, I do warm it up and drink it out of a thermos). The beer selection in the parlors isn't big, but at least it's there! This place is a huge hit with my family. Consider giving it a try!

I would give this restaurant a five star except for the fact that it is seriously not wheelchair accessible. The main entrance is a "bank entrance" that is unusable if you are in a chair. The "accessible entrance" runs straight into the path of the drive through. I wish that they would upgrade the doors so that everyone could appreciate their wonderful food.

I love that this chili place has waffle fries. No other chili place around has that kind of fry. The other thing I love about this restaurant is that is has a old time feel. On another note the service at this place is horrible. The owner is very rude and sarcastic. She talks about you (like a child) when you are right by her. The other staff members are nicer but still they have bad attitudes. It's usually clean but I'd rather not be leaning back on a carpet when I eat.

Dixie Chili is yet another take on Cincinnati chili - Nky style. The chili is meatier than Skyline, for those who don't like the thin consistency of Skyline might really like Dixie. The coneys also are slightly larger than Skyline/Goldstar. Good flavor to the chili - this Madison location is even now serving limited beer if you feel so inclined to enjoy a cheap domestic with your 3 way. Also, really curious to try the "man dip" - Dixie's take on Skyline dip w refried beans, cheese, and onions.
