Photo Gallery: The Dixie Pig

The Dixie Pig restaurant has been open in Abilene since 1931. Today, the historic landmark serves breakfast and lunch and is always packed full of regulars. Many diners have eaten daily at the Pig since childhood. The restaurant is completely family owned and operated.
