About this business
Mechanic-turned-grillmaster Gene Porter turns out Southern barbecue and down-home ambiance in the land of high technology. Dixie's optional "The Man" sauce is about as hot as sauce comes, so go easy; meals have been ruined here by unwary applications. The already spicy, already delicious barbecue doesn't really need the boost. Order Ribs, Chicken or a Brisket Sandwich with Southern diner sides like beans and rice, potato salad, baked beans and corn bread. And don't forget iced tea to soothe the burn. This place can draw a cr... read more

Once a gas station, Always a gas station – Way too Hot. Everytime I go I think I can handle The Man. Everytime I am put in my place. Gene Porter has created a unique little place that is a treat to visit. If you like BBQ, or even if you don't, you have to try this place so you can nod knowingly when someone says they've "met The Man." Perhaps there is better BBQ here or elsewhere, but no other establishment offers the same "ambiance". As Gene says "once a gas station, always a gas station"
The Man Needs Lessons – As a native Texan, I know what real barbecue is supposed to taste like -- and this ain't it! Everyone keeps telling me to go see The Man for real BBQ. Well, I did and they obviously have never tasted real BBQ. The best BBQ I've found is either 3 Pigs in Belleuve or Manna's in Greenwood. Either choice offers REAL barbecue that makes The Man's seem quite awful. I'm sure he's a nice guy and all, but his BBQ leaves much to be desired.
best bbq in town – Dixie's BBQ is a little hard to find, but once you do, you'll never forget where it is and you'll be dying to go back whenever you're in the area. The food is great, service isn't great, but you go knowing that. It's sort of like Seattle's version of the soup natzi. The attitude adds to the fun. Everyone has to "Meet the Man" for the total experience, even if it's just a dip with the toothpick. Portions are huge.
I met "The Man!" – This is the BEST Barbeque place ever! The food is great, and the people are friendly. The best part of every visit is "meeting the man." The man is about the spiciest hot sauce ever! This is required of every visitor, so if you like hot and spicy food, then this is your place. If you don't like hot and spicy food, then come anyway and watch your friends "meet the man" and build up the guts to try it yourself!
Battery acid flavor – Dixie's is highly overrated--why is it so popular? Possibly because so many of the returning customers have had their taste buds burnt off by the acidic action of "The Man". "Good" and "barbeque" don't belong in the same sentence here--try Milt's, or 3 Pigs, or Longhorn BBQ. You'll still be able to enjoy the flavor of other food long after you've left them, unlike Dixie's.
Holy Hot! – The food is great, the atmosphere off-key and the owner is crazy! Makes for a great stop on your tour of Seattle! As a local I make sure everyone gets to see "the man"!
Styrofoam – If you think that this is BBQ you might as well just eat the silly styrofoam that the gloppy mess comes in. And, if you think that "The Man" is a taste delight, you ought to search the corners of this converted garage for battery acid. This BBQ place is a joke. Only in Seattle (Bellevue) or Portland could this place even hope to pull it off as a restaurant.
Great Atmosphere, Go Early, Go Often. I'm not for standing in long lines so we go out about 11:30 or so to get food.
10 – Although this restaurant is a hole in the wall, it is the BEST BBQ I have ever had! Gene is the best!
