Best

Man do they pile it on. If you like it hot and you like big portions.

Worst

This is not even the 4th best Q in the area. It's a good thing that the criteria is ""mouth numbing"" and not good tasting! The meat is too fatty, over cooked (seems boiled rath...

Husband finally took me to meet the man 2/3/2007

I 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 because that's the only thing the had left. Although, I really do not care for hot stuff I decided to meet the man...well maybe a toothpick dab on my meat. It was so spicy I could barely contain myself. Okay so I'm a wimp. Pros: Great Brisket, Love the Lemon Cake Cons: Did not get to try the other foods..all gone more

Long wait, bad food 8/24/2006

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 case is what it took to serve maybe 40 people. Pros: Entertaining Cons: Stupidly long wait, bad, bad food. more

BEST BBQ EVERRRRRRRRR 7/25/2006

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 shaking it ? The RIBS ARE THE BEST especially the beef. Sandwich is okay. Each restaurant is different, Gene can smoke all the ribs whatever he wants. Pros: BEEF RIBS Cons: NOT WHATSOEVER more

Come for the sho', stay 4 the food 7/8/2005

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 Beer & Napkins BEFORE you eat ""the Man""! 8) I love the Pork Q sandwich here... it's sloppy, lots of sauce... I like it! 9) HAVE FUN! Geeze, it's Q! 10) Side? LEMON CAKE! Especially good after ""meeting the Man"". PS: Gene (the owner) is NOT ""the Man"". more

Not many reasons to go here... 5/10/2005

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. Pros: great rootbeer Cons: rude service, lousy food more

Yum 5/4/2005

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 bargain. Pros: Value, Meat Quality, Experience Cons: Long Lines more

BBQ = Meat 4/5/2005

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. Pros: Non-white owners Cons: Sauce? Please., Bad meat., Crowded more

Dixies is OK 10/22/2004

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 more

The owner is funny, the bbq ok 9/16/2004

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. more

Stick with the sandwiches 7/22/2004

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

HORRIBLY OVERATED BY MICROSOFTIES 7/14/2004

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 more

The atmosphere is great, the food bad 7/13/2004

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 more

Atmosphere, not food 6/28/2004

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). Jack Pros: fun, funky Cons: , bad attitude more

This Place Rules!! 5/11/2004

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!) more
