We really enjoyed this place! We were looking for a spot to grab dinner and watch the Bills / Chiefs game... Go Bills*! Rix's happened to not only meet our basic needs, but also if you can even believe it, was an unofficial Bills Bar. EVERYONE was rooting for the Bills or knew Josh Allen or just hated KC. It was perfect! Shiner Beer is my favorite beverage when watching sports and the gal behind the bar hooked me up with an ice cold one. Now here's where things get a little different. You can order food, but you have to cook it. They have a nice variety of meat options and we choose the burgers. The gas-fired grill was well equipped with seasonings and sauces... pretty much anything you need. There were a couple of bread options and a few toppings. On the side was a lot of beans and a salad bar. I wasn't brave enough for the salad bar, but the beans were great... just needed some chow chow. The burgers cooked up real nice and it was a good, filling meal. The price was pretty reasonable with 2 burgers and 6 beers setting us back about $80. I tried to talk a guy into paying me $20 to cook his burger, but no luck. *Disclaimer: I am not a Bills fan, but was traveling with one so we had priorities.

It's a dive bar where you cook your own steak. The ambience matched that, but I was there for that. The service was friendly and attentive. The problem was the food. Their largest steak was a thin ribeye with zero marbling. If you're thinking the best way to cook a thin steak is low and slow, you'd be happy here. By the time it got browned on both sides it was well done, and don't even think about any kind of crust. I can't remember having a worse steak. The salad bar was pretty limited, which would be understandable, but all the lettuce was browning. Not some. All the lettuce. The beans were decidedly bland. They didn't screw up the baked potato. They forgot the Texas toast, but at that point I was thoroughly underwhelmed. The drinks were decent for a dive bar. I'd drink here again, but need to be drunk to eat here again.

So, on Friday night, we walked from our hotel to Rixs. They had this cool menu where you could order burgers, steak, or chicken, but the catch was, you had to cook it yourself! Can you believe that? The bartender, Carol, was super chill. She was like, "Hey, grab a drink first, then take it over to the grill and cook your food." It was so much fun! We saw this group in front of us who weren't into the whole cooking thing, so they just left. But we were all about it! They brought out our burgers, and we started grilling them up. They had all the fixings and seasonings, so we went wild and it was such a fun experience. The locals were super friendly, Dakota made delicious drinks, the music was great, and people playing pool. The vibes at Rixs were definitely on point, and we'll for sure be going back again.

What a fun place. I was traveling and stay stayed in Wilcox for the night and walked to downtown looking for a bite to eat. Saw Rix's and sign says they had steaks. Walked right in and the place had a crown. Turns out it was pool night and patrons were shooting pool at rvs two tables. Sat down at the bar and asked the bartender about the steaks. She told me that in Rix's you get the steaks ( 4 different cuts) and cook you own at the grill in the back of the bar. Got my 6oz steak that came with a salad, stuff potatoes, beans and Texas toast for $15! I cooked me a meal, had a few drinks at the bar and talked to the bartender and one of the locals. Very chill and cool place. Will definitely come back next time I'm in Wilcox.

Driving through a sandstorm is no parade my friends. And when the highway patrol shuts down a freeway so your big haul doesn't end up a relic on side of the 10 freeway in the middle of the desert, you do just that, hunker down for the night. And on this good night, I landed smack dab in the land that time forgot. I smash the curb with the rig in front of Rixs Tavern. Woke the crew and we headed in. The door creaked open and the sunlight blinded the bar vampires inside. They cringed at the sight of the sunlight as if they wished the sun would just go away. When the door closed and the dust settled, there we stood in that bar you have seen in every movie. The locals mill about and glare at the presence of a stranger. "Take a deep breath boys, that's the smell of buckets of Friday night spilled beer and blood." I've seen so many bars like this in the movies that I can't help to feel at home here. Me and crew mosey up to the bar, brush away the dust and shells and signal the bartender behind the bar, "we need a round PBR's over here honey!"

Amazing! Me and my boyfriend stopped in this cute little town and I'm so grateful we did. Dakota was so sweet, she welcomed us and had such a great personality. We actually cooked our own burgers! I've never been to a place where you make your own food but this was such a gem. They give you all the toppings, sauces and sides. Hands down one of the best burgers. If you have the chance, check this place out!
