Editorial Review for Dixie's BBQ – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
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 Southern-style barbecue. The setting is appropriately simple, with long red tables and gregarious service.
The Food
Dished up in Styrofoam, the smoked meats, including brisket, are succulent. The rice and beans have the right amount of kick, and the cornbread is made with whole kernels of corn. Owner Gene Porter, who can occasionally be heard haranguing the staff, is a terrific cook. But folks really come for the Man--the tongue-numbing, esophagus-singeing hot sauce. It's spoken of in hushed tones; one taste of the stuff sets mouths on fire.

Insider Tips
When to GoDixie's is great in the sunshine, but everybody else will be there, too. Rainy days and late afternoons are the best times to avoid huge crowds.

OMG, 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 person, as I believe the real flavor is in the meat but sauce was a must for this. Can you believe they boil their mean? The bones just crumbled. If you decided to try this place, good for you but do not stand in line for hours like other people did. If you know BBQ you will be mighty upset. I ordered a slab of ribs to go but could eat only one piece and would not even serve it to my husband and child. The rest got cut up for the dog (the dog loves the suff!).
Pros: Was good food for my Shih Tzu
Cons: Food

Wait 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...
Pros: It's a BBQ Joint!
Cons: It's not true BBQ!
