Dixies is a Cajun restaurant with the same owners as Saji Ya next door. It is also more of a restaurant than a bar (as is typical with St. Paul) and features a moderately priced ($13 avg. entrée) Cajun menu. They have high ceilings and ample table and booth seating for their patrons. The bar is a large octagon at the front of the establishment. Dixies has a lot of “southern charm� and now has live blues and jazz Tuesday – Saturday for 3 hours at night (starting at 8:30 weekdays, 9:30 weekends), never a cover. They have also won an award for “best mashed potatoes� if such an award should be given (they come as a side choice with the food). Patrons are usually 25-40’s and casually dressed. Dixies shares the lot with Saji Ya, so free parking is no problem. The food is decent and the drinks are good, although it may be a bit too laid back, Dixies is a great option to start the night out and try something new.
