Reviews Dixie's Bbq

My partner is a fan of a good barbecue. We have been to a few all around the Lower Mainland, so today we were giving “Dixie’s” on Hastings a try. They are known for their Texas style barbecue and show their allegiance through the restaurant’s decor. It has a well themed rugged look with a worn wood pallet ceiling, a wagon wheel chandelier, and red brick and sheet metal walls.

Arrived on a Friday night. It was busy but we were seated quickly. Servers are friendly and service was quick. The portions are huge (we had the buttermilk fried chicken and pulled pork with 2 sides, corn bred and beans). The chicken was delicious, thick with buttermilk crispy coating and the chicken was. boneless. Pulled pork was flavourful without BBQ sauce hiding the taste. So good with the country gravy too. I would recommend Dixie's. Their special of the day was a sandwich and a beer for $15. That is a great deal.

I went with bourbon and would highly suggest it. It was refreshing and sweetened just the right amount. Cornbread and Serrano Cheese Spinach. I didn’t care for the corn bread because I found it to be too dry and hard. I prefer a more crumbly, buttery corn bread. I rarely rave about vegetable dishes, but the Serrano cheese spinach was delicious. I loved the creamy rich flavour and the fact that it had a bit of spice to it. I would highly recommend getting this as a side.

Easily the best BBQ I've had in Vancouver. In fact, it is on the same level as highly regarded restaurants I've visited in Texas and New Orleans. I can't give a higher compliment than that. As for BBQ restaurants in Seattle and Calgary that I've tried, Dixie's is on another planet. There is love and attention to detail in this food. For example, they use three kinds of wood in the smoker. We tried the brisket, ribs, and a regular link. All perfect as were the coleslaw, potato salad and pickle sides. Pecan pie with maple whipped cream was excellent. The staff were very friendly, attentive and enthusiastic about the BBQ wonders on offer. Portions and prices are very fair. Look forward to returning. Highly recommended!

I've only been here for brunch so far and have enjoyed it each time. Staff is friendly, and the portion size is decent for the price. Small menu, but good quality food. What else can you want? Hopefully more people show up to enjoy this place, as it's been pretty quiet on each visit.

The staff is friendly and welcoming and the restaurant is clean,neat and tidy!  This is one of the only places in B.C where you can get real chopped log-wood smoked bbq and you can taste the effort put forward by the chef it in every bite.

My wife and i tried so much of the menu for dinner knowing full well that we would have leftovers to take home (yay) Everything was great!!  Around here people are used to covering everything with sauce but thats not the case with Texas style bbq.  With texas style the meat is front and center and WOW is this meat front and center, buttery pulled pork and some of the best fried chicken you can get in all of B.C.

If you absolutely HAVE to get your sauce on you can ask for a side of the House Sauce, its a wonderful sweet sauce and it really goes well with the meat.  Just do yourself a favor and give the meat a chance to impress you up front without drowning it in sugar.

All of the in house drinks are amazing and bring their own thing to the table. I personally like the Sweet tea but the Lemonaid pulled up a close second.

Dixie's is on the edge of what some would consider to be the uglier side of Vancouver but there is plenty of curb parking near Dixie's and well lit parking lots nearby. Dont be put off by the local street vendors or sleepers, they are doing what they do and really couldn't care less about you being there.

All this to say Dixie's is easily worth the drive out of the Fraser Valley or anywhere to come get some wonderful bbq served up by a chipper staff and a bbq crew who are deadly passionate about their art.

Come one come all.
