Texas Treasured Business Award by the Texas Historical Commission & City of College Station Historic Destination Plaque Presented to the Dixie Chicken
The Dixie Chicken has officially been awarded the Texas Treasured Business Award by the Texas Historical Commission and City of College Station Historic Destination plaque, meant to highlight the Dixie Chicken’s iconic place in Aggieland’s history.
For over 50 years, The Chicken has served patrons in the heart of the City’s Northgate District.
The Texas Treasured Business Award is reserved for legacy businesses that have served their communities with distinction for 50 years or more. It recognizes not just longevity, but the cultural, economic, and historical impact a business has made in the fabric of Texas.
To say we’re proud is an understatement.
Since 1974, the Dixie Chicken has been more than a bar — it’s been a rite of passage, a second home, and a memory-maker for generations of Aggies, locals, and visitors alike. From ring dunks and dominoes to live music and lifelong friendships, the Chicken has stood the test of time and stayed true to its roots.
These awards celebrate every beer poured, every story shared, and every tradition born here on the Northgate corner.
