on Citysearch Aug 07, 2009This place is an experience. Make sure to ask for a sampler plate prior to ordering and have your server give you the rundown on what soupy and greasy are, etc. This is not chili like you have been taught to think of it, but... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 25, 2009This has got to be the worst "chili" i have ever had. To call the extremely lightly seasoned ground beef chili is false advertising. No flavor, no heat or spicyness, just greasy ground beef.... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 15, 2009Dixons is pretty good, but it's not like traditional chili that you'd think of. The restaurant is old and dumpy and really hot in the summer. We come here once or twice a year because they always have good coupons in the... (more)

on Citysearch May 01, 2008Our family is split on the yumminess of Dixon's Chili Parlor. Most of the family loves their food from the chili dogs to the chili cheese fries. I'm not overly fond of they way it is served with grease and meat on the side.... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 04, 2006Everyone who has ever eaten there knows that there is no other place like Dixon's Famous Chili Parlor. Wolfsblood said that you could just make this at home, but in all reality, you cannot. All of the work and all of the... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 28, 2006Dixon's Chili Parlor is simply one of a kind. If you are trying to compare their chili to anyone else's, you are frankly missing the point! It's not like anyone else's....which is why the place has lasted so long. Harry... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 09, 2004This may not be what you expect when you think chili, but keep an open mind and you'll be glad you tried it! You get to season to your liking with chili seasoning right on the table, and yes some people like ketchup on their... (more)

on Citysearch May 23, 2002This place is a Kansas City icon. But from my point of view it is mediocre at best. A plate of mildly seasoned ground beef does not a chili make. Sure, it's not half bad when served on a hot dog or a plate of spaghetti, but I... (more)
