Best

Man do they pile it on. If you like it hot and you like big portions.

Worst

This is not even the 4th best Q in the area. It's a good thing that the criteria is ""mouth numbing"" and not good tasting! The meat is too fatty, over cooked (seems boiled rath...

Hated it. 1/21/2003

Dixie's BBQ is flavorless and worst BBQ that I've ever eaten. The only thing that Dixie's has going for it is ""The Man"", which is extremely hot, but also flavorless. The only reason native Seattlites like it is because they've never had anything better. Cons: Flavorless more

Yuck! 1/21/2003

The food is served like they are doing you a favor and the food is unattractive, stale tasting, overcooked and soggy. more

dog food 1/20/2003

They call it Louisiana BBQ because that's what they feed to dogs in the South. I don't how they found meat of that poor quality. more

Stick with sea food 1/9/2003

When I first moved to Seattle, being from Texas, everyone wanted to take me to eat BBQ to get my opinion as a Texan. The first place they took me was Dixie's. Supposedly Lousiana BBQ...yeah right!! At best the ""chopped beef"" sandwich I ordered could be called a spicey Sloppy Joe. The sauce was spicey that's about all I took from my experience. Had any of my friends from South of Mason and Dixon's line come up I would've been embarassed to take them to Dixie's. Those visiting the Emerald City should just stick to Sea Food, what they do best up there. more

Decent food, unnaceptable attitude 1/9/2003

The food is ok, maybe good at times. Here's the deal though... the people who work the register and the serving area, are generally rude and disrespectful. If I want good Barbecue, I go to Milt's, or Acropolis Pizza in Kirkland... they have some really, really nice bbq ribs!... and they are nice, normal nice. Pros: decent food, The mand is hot Cons: some staff attitude, disrespect, customer, bad parking more

I met the Man, AAAOOOH 1/9/2003

This place is for people that want the in your face, great taste, smoking tongue, sitting on a picnic bench, watching the people at the next table meet the man kind of place. All those people that want two forks, two spoons, wine, and actual waiter/waitress, 5 star, 100$ plates should go somewhere else. I recommend the Beef Brisket sandwich and the Red Beans and rice, if you meet the man and eat the sauce, make sure to have a handful of peanuts and lemon cake to put out the fire. If you can't handle the Man and his style of service then stay away so people like me can get my food faster. Pros: crowded, loud, The Man more

Yuppy Abuse 1/8/2003

Dixie's is good. I too have ""Met the man."" but the sauce goes beyond flavorful and just becomes an exercise in masochism. Top that off with the verbal abuse (humorous - of course) that is heaped on the primarily yuppie crowd, and the culinary experience takes a back seat. Pros: Inexpensive Cons: Crowded more

The Man: all heat, no taste 1/7/2003

Just because it's hot it doesn't mean it tastes good. I like spicy food and I like BBQ too. ""The Man"" has no taste. The food is mushy and has a potluck quality to it. The service was attitude with nothing to base it on. What do you expect when an autobody shop starts making BBQ ? Pros: cheap, easy access Cons: pretentious, garage setting more

at least try it 1/3/2003

Dixie's is an experience. It's not for all those snobby seattlites expecting great service and white linen. you drive up to see a HUGE line if business attired people from bellevue waiting in line to get into a small car garage, where you wait in line and get your food and sit down at make-shift tables. then the man comes around and you gotta try it or if you are a wimp, at least laugh at the other people trying it, its fun. i wouldn't say its the best barbeque i've ever had, cuz that is what my Dad is for, but this is definitely a place i will go back to again and again. Pros: cheap, the man Cons: finding seats! more

The boy 1/2/2003

The food was okay at best, but the service killed everything. There was no service nor was there anything resembling a restaurant. The ""man"" sauce as it was advertised is nasty, no flavor or anything just really hot. The BBQ sauce that everything is slapped full of, is just there to cover up the nasty bbq. It too is funky sauce. no flavor what so ever. Jones in Seattle is about the only decsent BBQ we have. more

You gotta meet ""the man""!! 12/21/2002

The lines are long if you don't get there by noon but the wait is worth it. If you get a chance to meet ""the man"" do it a little at a time as he will bite you. more

This place is da man! 12/18/2002

Deal with the lines and you're in heaven. Great food, at a good price, fabulous atmosphere (nothing is better than watching the person in front of you get snapped at a'la Seinfeld and the Soup Nazi)... A must try. Pros: Food, Attitude Cons: Crowded, Long Lines more

Whatta waste... 12/17/2002

I have to agree with sipatrick. I've eaten at some of the worst BBQ's around, and this takes the cake. Either it is tasteless crap, or tasteless fire. The only positive thing I can say about it is that its profile keeps crowding at the REAL BBQ restaurants down. Pros: Outdoor Seating Cons: The Food, The Man more

The Shame of Dixie... 12/16/2002

As a chef and a North Carolinian - who has eaten his share of actual BBQ - I could not possibly agree less. This place slings badly-cooked, fatty, poorly-seasoned crap, served with the pastiest, gummiest mass-produced bread they can buy, featuring that stupid, pointless battery-acid of a sauce they call ""The Man""; a silly, flavorless test-of-manhood sauce composed of equal parts crushed red chiles and bad judgement. Yuck! One time in your life, eat at Old Lexington #1 in Lexington, NC, Stamey's in Greensboro, or Bob Petty's Oakwood Drive-In and then try Dixie's. You'll never touch this crud again. Cons: FOOD, "THE MAN" more

Exellent for Seattle BBQ 12/14/2002

Coming from KC where there is REAL BBQ, I think Dixies is as close as Seattle folks can come to what makes BBQ work! The Surly staff make the charm of eating this type of food (it is not haute cuisine, for heavens sake!!!). The grease is flavorful and the sides are great accents!! My favorite place west of BB's Lawnside BBQ! more

Not Even 12/14/2002

This is not even the 4th best Q in the area. It's a good thing that the criteria is ""mouth numbing"" and not good tasting! The meat is too fatty, over cooked (seems boiled rather than barbequed), the sauce is more like hot tomato water. I'm not sure that they'd allow this to be sold in Louisiana. If so, where so I can avoid it. Try Jones BBQ on MLK and Hudson. This is real Louisiana style BBQ!! Oh, and it comes in mild, hot, and painful (all very tasty and with lean meat). more

Horrible Food and Service 12/9/2002

This is one of the worst places I have ever eaten at. The service is terrible with ignorant waiting staff with zero tolerance. The food also is not worth the money as it is basically just barbecued food you could make at home and is not neary as good as any other food you would pay for. Forget the hype about the ""man"" sauce and do yourself a favor and skip this con.. Cons: Horrible food, Terrible Service, Overpriced food more

Food is based on dare! 11/29/2002

Dixie's food is greasy and the establishment is run down. The MAN sause is hot and that's it! No intriguing flavors and the BBQ sauce was nothing to rave about. Typical OK BBQ Place! more

Back Home in Dixie 11/17/2002

I am from east Texas and have lived in Lousiana. While the people at Dixie's are truly nice and friendly, their barbeque is not what one expects. If you want authentic tasting barbeque, try Pecos. It's worth the drive and the wait. Cons: pork too dry more
