Who needs frills when the food is so down home awesome? If Dixie's only intention is to serve good BBQ and fixings, then mission accomplished! I stopped in to Dixie's last week for the first time and ordered a brisket and link sandwich with a side of potato salad. I also had a cold creamy root beer from the ice chest. What a treat!!! As a native New Englander and former resident of the south, I can honestly say I've tried just about every kind of BBQ sauce out there and conjured up a few recipes of my own but it all pales to Dixie's BBQ.
The sauce was the perfect balance of sweet to heat and the consistency was on the money...not too thin and not too syrupy thick. The homemade potato salad was amazing: perfectly cooked potato's, mixed with onion, some pepper and of course the REAL mayo, not the SALAD dressing. I could live on that alone!
Skip the ""vending machine"" soft drinks and go for the root beer that was recommended to me by the woman at the register. She knows good food and recognizes the true ""foodies"" standing in her line waiting to chow down of the offerings available.
Only wish I wasn't so full, missing the lemon cake and baked beans that day.
Pros: Authentic no frills BBQ that will knock your socks off!
Cons: Reading the reviews from frill seeking sissy's.
