on Citysearch Jun 09, 2009Who 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... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 26, 2008I have never written a review before... However, Dixie's totally freaked me out. I read all kinds of praise for this place and now I know you're all out of your minds. In short, Dixie's can best be explained as... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 06, 2008I started going to Dixie's several years ago when I lived in the area. Even though I have since moved, I go out of my way to visit Dixie's every time I get back to the Seattle area. The barbecue is still the best in my opinion... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 28, 2008I'm no BBQ aficionado but I do know bad food. A friend and I went there for the first time today as we've heard about it for years. We skipped all the fluff and went straight for the meat. Slather of Ribs ($20) and a lb of... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 21, 2008Hello Eastsiders. So I finally had a free minute to get a bite to eat. I called goog411 and cued the word Barbecue. Dixies barbecue on Northup is the first result that came up. The lunch menu items average 9 bucks each. I... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 17, 2008The experience was non like I have ever had before. It felt like I was pulling up to a tow yard and when I actually arrived to where I ordered...I was amazed to see two women there (one sitting and a dear old lady running... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 17, 2008Dixie's is one of those "word of mouth" places frequented and loved by those who love to be in the know and impress out-of-towners with a hidden local find. The first thing you will notice is that Dixie's does not go out... (more)

on Citysearch May 23, 2008If you go to Dixie's for North Carolina or Texas barbeque, you are going to the wrong place. If you want to enjoy Dixie's, just take a big appitite, a small amount of money, and no preconceptions of what barbeque means... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 12, 2008OMG, is this really BBQ? I'd heard so much about this place and was expecting really tasty food. The only good thing was there was no line but the food was a completely disaster. The pork BBQ was bad. I'm not a sauce... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 15, 2007Wait in line for a half hour for dried out meat with hot sauce that rips your mouth open?? That ain't BBQ folks. Where's the meat flavor? Waste of money... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 02, 2007I am stunned that this place has garnered the glowing reviews it has! There just have to be better BBQ places here in Seattle! You wait in line for 35 - 40 minutes (lunch time), only to be ushered into a kitchen worthy of a... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 31, 2007This little place really delivers when it comes to barbecue! I think the food is just delicious, from ribs to the pulled pork sandwiches, and everything in between, I've never been dissatisfied with the food here.... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 30, 2007The customer service here is great! The staff interacts with you and helps you with your order, while you can be introduced to "the man" as a staff member circles around the tables with the sauce. What used to be a hidden... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 02, 2007I guess since we went for a late lunch they were about to close...and had no one in line. I'm always blessed like that I guess. I don't know what these people are complaining about in the review section. I had the brisket... (more)

on Judys Book Dec 04, 2006I've been to Dixies many times over the years. Seldom by my choice. I mostly agree with the other reviews, but feel something is missing...Dixies is in a converted garage (car mechanic shop) near where the 520 and 405... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 26, 2006<b>The Scene<br></b>People are quiet about Dixie's--they think the lines outside this converted auto-repair shop are long enough already. It has achieved legendary status on the Eastside for authentic... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 24, 2006Ok, I'm going to go out on a limb here. The owner of the place is a character, no kidding. That's the only positive thing I'm going to say about this place. The wait in line is ridiculous. Two hours in line, yes, two hours in... (more)

on Judys Book Apr 02, 2006Hey Tim reminded me of this place. It is a complete hole in the wall, but completely worth it as a place to pig out on ribs. Personally, I like my ribs with lots of rub, but this place definitely serves.Of course the best... (more)

on Judys Book Apr 02, 2006The first time I met The Man, I just had to run. I wasn't sure where I would run to. It was raining and windy outside and I wasn't dressed for it. But I think I thought I could run away from the heat burning out my insides. The... (more)

on Judys Book Mar 20, 2006Dixies Barbeque is a local secret. Hidden in some sort of automotive repair shop, this place doesn't command much drive by business, but by word of mouth, you've got to see "the man" for the hottest hot sauce you've... (more)

on Judys Book Mar 18, 2006It's hot, hot, hot, for sure! If you're prepared for the setting, than you won't be surprised when you pull into this automotive place. But I gotta tell you, that's part of the charm! The food is good--it's BBQ. But it's... (more)

on Judys Book Mar 18, 2006Wow! Our family loves hot, spicy food and let me tell ya' there ain't nothing hotter than the MAN. It is the side sauce that is only handed out by the owner of Dixie's BBQ. And boy is it hot. The place is located in what looks... (more)

on Judys Book Mar 07, 2006Dixie's has developed quite a following and reputation in the Seattle area. It's located in a converted auto repair shop. (It feels like they still handle a few auto repairs every now and then.) They serve up good... (more)

on Judys Book Sep 15, 2005"Have YOU met the MAN?" That's their slogan. This restaurant is a well known tourist attraction for delivering an old southern restaurant feel and an insanely hot (but not too tasty) hot sauce that will make most... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 28, 2005Dixies is not your typical restaurant. There is usually a huge line forming out the door. You walk through and the service people purposefully treat you like trash - all in good fun haha. You get your choice of beef or... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 07, 2005Dixie's is fun, but you have to follow the rules! 1) b4 11:15 a.m. or after 1:15 p.m. weekdays give you a short wait. Anything else is 30 minutes +! 2)ORDER THE PORK OR BEEF BRISKET Sandwich! The ribs (or anything else)?... (more)

on Citysearch May 10, 2005I think it's worth going to Dixie's at least one time for the entertainment value. That being said, the lines are long, the service is slow and very rude, and the food is sub-par. The only thing I like about this place is... (more)

on Citysearch May 03, 2005This is not only great BBQ but is a fantastic experience. Yeah, the building is kinda rickity, the wait long and the employees loud, but this is as close as it gets to the deep South in the Seattle area. The meat is slow... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 05, 2005Q is meat, not sauce. All the attention paid to "The Man" puts the meat out of its rightful place at the center of the meal. The meat just wasn't that good. It's fine for Whitey from the East Side, but it just isn't good BBQ... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 02, 2005When we had first went here we was not knowing what we were about to have. But it turned into being on of the best bbq's that we have had, the unique taste of the sauces. The cornbread and coleslaw was great. I would... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 20, 2005Have you met the man? Dixie's BBQ is truly authentic, southern grub. They have the cornbread, the coleslaw and the hot sauce to go with it! Their slow cooked meats are mouth watering. The line is always long because... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 21, 2004If you go to Dixies for lunch, go early. Like 11 AM. Otherwise you get to wait in line for a very long time. Of course you get to watch the owner deliver "The Man" to people's plates and see the supprise and pain on their... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 16, 2004The BBQ is just ok, but the owner walking around yelling with a pot of (way, way too hot hot sauce) is the reason for going. (more)

on Citysearch Jul 22, 2004The food here is tempermental. The brisket and pork sandwiches are good. But that's it. Do not go for the chicken nor the ribs. Also, whats up with the attitude by the staff. (more)

on Citysearch Jul 14, 2004This is the most disgusting BBQ I've had in my life. I have no clue why the droves of MS blue badges continue to sing its praise. The meat quality is poor, the sauces are not flavorful and the help is rude. Heck I've... (more)
