About
The longest family-owned restaurant in the KC metro, Dixon's has been slinging its famous chili since 1919, and the all-you-can-eat tacos run every single day. Their homemade chili comes customizable with fixins like sour cream, jalapeño relish, and that signature chili powder regulars rave about, plus they handle catering for parties and events.
