Long wait, bad food – Ok, 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 line. Must be good, right? Nope. Two older women make and serve all the food and take orders in batches, make the boxes, take the money. Gene, the owner, doesn't participate, he wanders around with his small pan full of "the man sauce" and greeting people in line. Two hours in this... read more

BEST BBQ EVERRRRRRRRR – Been there sooo MANY times.... Love Gene, the owner. The MAN is awesome.. that's why they call it the man... it is a HOTTY sauce, if you dont like it, dont be such a spoiled brat and complaining. He is not rude, it is just the way he talked. If you look for a service do not go for a $10.00 entree... go somewhere else for $20.00 service with no "ribs meat". This is the only place that will offer the most meat for the ribs. Where else you can find slabs of ribs that the meats fall of the bones just buy ... read more

Come for the sho', stay 4 the food – Dixie'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)? Dude! Go elsewhere! 3) Try "just a touch" of "the Man" .. just because it's part of the show! 4) Don't Sass. 5) KNOW WHAT YOU WANT (Pork Sandwich) and DON'T LEAN ON THE COUNTER! 6) IF you want some of "the Man", STIR IT INTO YOUR SANDWICH!! 7) Get water, peanuts, Root Bee... read more

Not many reasons to go here... – I 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 the Mt. Angel microbrewed rootbeer.

Yum – This 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 cooked and expremely tender and the sauce is tasty. If you are crazy there is a super hot sauce called the man, which I think is actually more of a gimick than something that you would eat on your food, but it all adds to the experience. On top of that two of us ate very well for less than $17. What a ... read more

BBQ = Meat – Q 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 for a discerning palate. Try Willie's on Beacon Hill.

Dixies is OK – If 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 face. I've had ribs there, that's it. They were good, tender, pink inside, juicy, all the things the ribs should be. But I would put them just above average. The sauce is unremarkable (not the man, the regular bbq sauce). The service is typical of a bbq place.

The owner is funny, the bbq ok – The 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.

Stick with the sandwiches – The 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.
