Dixie Springs Cafe & Bar

Unreal… Great place and amazing service. I love finding places like this one. I’ll be back for sure.

The ribeye steak is perfect! Juicy, full of flavor, and so tender I could cut it with a fork!
Nice atmosphere and easy to find, but lacks a proper parking area… Not a problem until they are full!

This is the best hidden secret around! Great food, great service, great atmosphere and all around the best! From steak to seafood I can honestly say there is no bad choices on the menu!

Another solid recommendation by the local hotel staff! Dixie Springs Café is a local favorite and had a full parking lot by the time I left around 6 PM.
Tucked away off Route 31, the parking is gravel and «choose your spot». The inside of the restaurant is quite nice, especially the «non-​smoking» section… which I enjoyed by myself on this lonely Tuesday evening. I haven’t been to a restaurant that had a smoking & non-​smoking section in years, so this was a unique experience!
I had just put away some cajun food at DFW’s Pappadeaux’s, so in full disclosure, I did not sample what Dixie Springs is known for ’round these parts. Being a HUGE fan of wings, I sampled their «Very HOT, HOT Wings» and «George’s Blackened Steak Bites» w/​comeback sauce (described to me as a cajun 1,000 island).
The wings were not ridiculously hot, but they were a solid batch of buffalo wings (from a guy who likes a good wing). They were smaller than typical and the order only delivered 6, but that was perfect for me on this evening not being crazy hungry and all. The steak bites were not what I envisioned; I was hoping for more crusty blackening/​grill feel. The sauce and bites, however, were still tasty and I enjoyed my two appetizer meal.
If I have time to revisit McComb, I will definitely give Dixie Springs Café another round. The younger wait staff was crazy nice, the ambiance comfortable, music soothing, and (of course) the food was solid.

Great place! The food is fantastic with very generous portions. I had the ribeye, and there was plenty left over for lunch. Norman was a super friendly bartender. All the staff was really nice. The décor is great too. That sea lion is one cool dude.

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. Our server has extremely helpful and even brought me a free slice of delicious double chocolate cake for my birthday. The cocktails were well prepared and our steaks were extra flavorful and tender. They could’ve done a better job on the side salads though, small and thrown together without much thought. The seafood dishes were all divine and freshly prepared. We were okay with a longer wait because the atmosphere and location on the lake made the experience so enjoyable. I think this place is great for a date. Not fine dining even though they try, but overall a great experience. Bring your wallets!

Good service. But the food is ALL frozen/​microwaved. From the gumbo to the étouffée. Just reheated frozen food. Very disappointed.
