Dixie Chicken - (Near College Station, TX)

4 /5 Nicholas Stevenson: This is a College Station staple. The vibe is dive bar with a whole lot of Aggie Spirit Located towards the Northwest end of Northgate, this is the perfect game day or pre-tailgating bar. Sure, it’s a little cramped, chaotic, and noisy… but that’s part of its character and the experience. You can sit inside in one of two main areas or on the patio out front and there’s seating out back The servers are friendly and professional. The food and drinks are solid. Nothing overly fancy, but it’ll hit the spot. There’s a couple bars to order from, and you can order food towards the back of the bar Some tips: Order a pitcher and share with your friends. If you’re in the mood, consider doing a bit of bar hopping as this areas boasts a number of fun bars ranging from Irish pubs, dive bars, sake bars, whiskey bars, etc Also, if you’re not too scared, venture to the back room and on the southeast wall there is a snake inclosure that has a live rattlesnake. It’s been there for almost a couple decades now Cheers!

4 /5 M Chu: 4.3 stars. A quintessential part of the Aggie experience whether you’re going to college here or simply visiting. If the walls could talk, there’d be countless stories of good bull as well as some not so good bull. Be sure to stop in, order a drink, sit with new friends and play some dominoes and/or shoot some pool. Soak in the music, people and wonderful vibes that make the Chicken what it is — an iconic part of Aggieland and North Gate.

3 /5 Rob Huey: Reviewing as a restaurant - I’d describe this as an expensive kid’s menu that also sells beer. The food was marginal at best. Reviewing as a bar - I’d describe this as an iconic local joint that you’d need to see if you’re in town. We were in town for a wedding and this is the place the youngsters getting married wanted to hang out with their friends. We had a great time but in retrospect we would have eaten before we came and just drank and hung out.

5 /5 Ray Hubbard: Local Dive establishment with a reputation (all good of course). I cant tell you how many times I have visited this location. Food has always been top notch and the drinks ice cold. Good place to chill and relax. It has a small honky tonk feel to it. In a quaint little area to hang out with friends.

4 /5 Ron K: Very cool bar and grill that has a lot of character. Would be a great place to have a beer and burger. Has some pool tables and lots of old west decor. Really liked all the carving by customers into the wood work, as it gives it a unique look. Not sure if its encouraged, but maybe bring a jackknife and ask first.. The ice tea was excellent and the burger was good. Very dark inside. Could use the ceiling redone as its seen better days. Worthing going to just to check it out.
