I am on a great roll with service this month. Vanessa is my server here, and she is number three in a row of outstanding service. Job well done, Vanessa! Dixon Diner in Cocoa, FL, is in a wonky location that the average traveler may miss. Let me tell you, that would be a mistake, as the food is great. But I get ahead of myself.

I asked Vanessa for a two-egg breakfast with chopped steak, eggs over medium, hash browns, and the Southern breakfast staple of a biscuit with sausage gravy. The place was pretty barren, as you can see by the pictures; I assume it's the location. As such, my food was out in no time.

Look at the pictures. Look at them! If a picture could talk, this one would be saying, “Flavor, flavor, flavor.” The chopped steak is made to order and gigantic in size. The seasonings are complex and full of tastiness on the palate. The toast is aptly buttered and blissful with the egg yolk. The line cook nailed the over-medium eggs this morning, as they were perfect. Well done, Sir and/or Madam!

It was all I could do to stop eating the chopped steak and eggs as they were that good, but I was here for a job. Looking again at the pictures, you can see how laden with sausage that gravy is. The gravy was outstanding. I would put that up against anyone's Me-maw and let the chips fall where they may. While the gravy was top-notch, the biscuit was not so much. It wasn't bad, just not on par with the rest.

We have been going toDixie Diner for years. The last few times we could see it was going down hill. We did notice we did not see grandma or the girls anymore. We stopped in today after church and we’re told if we wanted anything fried we would have to wait 30 minutes. Wi all decided to forgo anything fried so we didn’t have a long wait. We still didn’t get our food for well over 30 minutes then when we got our food it was cold.out of 4 meals all was cold except one . It was not our server’s fault as we were the only ones that didn’t have their food and when the bell went she brought it to us A gentleman came by later and said they could make us another plate we told him no as we didn’t want to wait another 30 minutes. We paid for the cold meals and left. Not sure if the restaurant has been sold but I do know we won’t be back. So sad it was one of my...

Worst diner we've been to. Food was just okay, portion size was a joke, server was simply rude.

We were about to walk right out upon arrival and after seeing the environment & atmosphere. The service & kitchen seemed quite chaotic at a glance. So instead of dine in, We decided to order take out just to taste the food. Hubby ordered Chicken & Dumplings soup, and was told it'll take about 20-30 min. Well, we were there & waited for an hour.

The soup tasted like canned soup. The ''dumplings'' were just few clumps of dough. Fries were too salty. Potato salad were given in a sample-size cup.

Overall, the serving sizes were just simply a joke. If we knew, we wouldn't come here. Well, we know now and wouldn't visit here again. Going to take our pack and feast...
