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.
Pros: Real Hot sauce, entertaining
Cons: , The wait

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. More >

This 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 given this place more than one chance as well, it has continued to dissapoint.
The hype behingd this place is amazing and warrants study by a sociologist. Man if advertizers could generat such hype over such a crappy product they'd make a mint.
Ah, now I understand the clientele.
And the man, why not spray peppr spray in your mouth if that's what you're after.
Cons: , Poor Quality

I've never understood the fascination people have with Dixies. The food is generally greasy and completely unpalatable, the sauces bland other than The Man, and The Man is nothing but fire without the flavor. Even when you mix them, you're still stuck with a rather unpleasant taste. Also, Dixie doesn't smoke his meat nearly enough, so you end up without the depth fo flavor you should get with really great BBQ. The atmosphere, with Dixie cajoling people into trying The Man and the cashier acting like the BBQ Nazi, does make it kind of fun, even if the food is regretable.
Pros: Fun experience, Inexpensive
Cons: , Long lines

I'm from the south and have my own smoker for briskette and ribs. Dixie's doesn't smoke their meats over wood but rather over "pellets". It definitely doesn't taste like the real thing. And the BBQ sauce is bland and needs spicing up, but the MAN sauce overdoes it. Great atmostphere, but the slice is nowhere in the range of Pecos Pit or the Frontier Room (toured the kitchen there - 14 hour smoke over cedar, very good).

Pros: fun, funky
Cons: , bad attitude

I stinkin' loved this place! Although, yeah, you will be verbally abused - part of the fun and humor - you will still need to visit here to experience the uniqueness! The food is delicious, the people are real, and The Man is HOT! Not hot... HELLACIOUS! I HIGHLY recommend that if you're looking for a unique dining experience, give this place a shot - IT RULEZ!
BTW, the line is HUGE @ about noon.
Pros: Food, People, Location (SEA RULEZ!)

I always chuckle to myself when talking about bbq and someone bring up dixies. Don't get me wrong, the food is good but their claim to fame is the "man" sauce - a sauce so hot it's literally dangerous. We've all got friends who pride themselves on being able to handle the spiciest foods. It's funny to watch them confidently load up on the stuff and then squirm in pain as the man works them over. But if you want tender, melt in your mouth, smoked to perfection bbq with sauce that is a perfect blend of tangy spice and heat... go to Jones'! It doesn't get any better.
Pros: hey, it's bbq

"The Man" sauce at Dixie's was intense! My friend and myself both passed out from it. An ambulance came and everything. Whew! If you like spicey food go try the sauce at Dixie's. I'll be going back for round two! One word of advice, don't try "The Man" on a totally empty stomach. It's a real kick in the pants! I made that mistake already. ^_^
The people there are just super and it is a very fun enviornment.
I don't understand all the negative reviews here. It rocked. I bet those guys just couldn't handle "The Man". It's not for the faint hearted!
Pros: awesome people, fun surroundings, good sauce!

"The Man" is awful, and the way it is thrust upon you is wrong. The BBQ is mushy, and the sauce is not that good. Try Pecos instead of dealing with the Eastsiders in their SUVs.
