Dixie Chicken And Ribs

Food was excellent, service was great even though Ms. Sandy was the only FOH when we were there. She was a rockstar with the to go orders and service. I had the Monday special which was red or white (I chose white) beans, salad and either sausage or pork chop. The only reason I’m giving them 4-stars and not 5 is because I chose sausage and they gave me a minuscule 3-inch sausage, but the guy next to me ordered the same with a pork chop that was the size of my face. I’ll order the pork chop next Monday.

I come here all the time with my partner. We love Sandy. We love this restaurant. I often bring out of town friends to Dixie for the BEST fried chicken in the city. Yes, I've tried all the usual NOLA fried chicken, and trust me, I know good fried chicken, and Dixie is the best. I abhor when people try to tout their own personal ill-conceived favorites. Nobody cares. Dixie is the best. Dixie's ribs are second to no one. Dixie's Po-boys are way better than that awful Tavern place. Dixie's gravy and fixins are just sublime. Give me this any day over the rest of NOLA's junk.

I knew it would be good when there was 2 NOPD patrol cars out front. Stumbled on Dixie completely by accident. Tucked in a neighborhood just off Canal Blvd, the restaurant isn’t big, but their food was exceptional. It is a small place, not too many tables and there was one wait staff. She never stood still and flew around that place like her hair was on fire, refilling drinks and making sure we were okay. I set my straw wrapper down, next thing I knew it was gone. We had chicken, ribs and onion ring appetizer. In our quest to eat fried chicken in every state, this place was great. Was a little worried for my wife about eating fried chicken in Louisiana (too spicy), but it was seasoned just right. Ribs fell off the bone, slaw and beans were good too. Glad we stopped. Memorable experience.

I went there looking for fried chicken and let me tell you that tasting just like Willie May's scotch House is a huge compliment. And the waitress suggested the ribs and chicken combo and let me tell you I wasn't disappointed at all. I was so happy to find this restaurant. I live in Madisonville and I will be back!
