Their meats are great, as are sides. Don't love their fish and chips ( too oily tasting) The rest of my family is enamored.

Ribs were excellent as are the Slider Sampler. Saturdays are great for Beef Brisket too! Service was very courteous and timely.

We've been coming to this place forever. It's changed hands down through a family generation or so, but the basics have remained the same. It's still a no-frills throwback to those southern barbecue shacks that used to populate the back roads. And you can smell the smoke of the cooking. They have updated the place a bit with some paint and tables that are covered, but the barbecue is still some of the best in the area. It's located in an industrial area and that makes up a lot of their clientele from surrounding businesses. The separate building is right next to the street. They do a lot of take out, but we chose to sit at one of their concrete benched tables in the open air, but under the covered patio. You get to see and hear the street traffic. There is no "inside" seating. You order at the counter window and pay, and they call your name to pick up your food. The menu is posted on the wall and there's usually a daily special on one of the small blackboards. I got their quarter chicken lunch special and requested white meat. It came with cornbread and a choice of one side. The combo breast wing was cooked through and through and slathered with sauce. At first, I didn't think it would be big enough to satisfy me, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was delicious. For my side, I got their baked beans. Unlike some, these were very flavorful and a good combo with the chicken. The corn bread is slightly sweet but more like the plainer southern style than the cake like one that I usually prefer. It still was a more than acceptable side. There are different sauces in containers on the tables --- either sweet or hot. I didn't need to add any to my food, but that's a personal choice. My husband got their rib tips special. He chose collard greens for his side. He said they were very good. His special also came with corn bread. The rib tips were tender and meaty, although one piece was a little too fatty for me. He added a bit of their sweet BBQ sauce to the meat. I think I might get this special, however, next time. For dessert, he got their peach cobbler. He said it was good, although they use canned peaches. He'd wanted banana pudding, but they were out of it. I have a vague memory that one of the older women (long passed) used to make the pudding every now and then. You had to be there just at the right time before they'd sell out. I'm glad we came back to have lunch here. It's been a while since we were in this area of town, and now it won't be such a long time between visits.

If you want legit Carolina bbq, this is the ONLY place to go. I come from a very Southern, Eastern North Carolina family and our bbq recipe is coveted - only passed down to blood relatives. Dixie Pig is the only thing that comes close to that recipe and I cry every time I eat it. The meat is tender, juicy and the sauces have that unique Carolina vinegar twang. Their sweet tea tastes like home and is actually strong, unlike other South Florida restaurants. If you can fit it in your belly, snatch some fried okra and hush puppies. The restaurants itself is a little outdoor seated area (under a roof) by the side of Dixie. Definitely not fancy, but the quality makes it top tier.

I have a rule not to expect much from a BBQ restaurant in any state not named Texas or North Carolina. Dixie Pig is a happy, almost joyous exception to that rule. The founder was from Wilmington NC and the pork BBQ is full blow eastern NC bbq. In any city on the eastern half of NC, it would be a local favorite. You might not expect much from the outside. You order at a walk up window and either get it to go or eat on the patio and they'll bring it to your table. Service was really good even through the environment is humble (hint, most great barbecue restaurants are). I didn't say it directly so let met correct that that now; the food is delicious. The BBQ was lightly seasoned and there's more sauce, SC mustard sauce if you must, and a sweeter thick sauce available, so it isn't just one style. The hushpuppies were fresh, round and sweet with light onion. It was so good that I can even forgive them serving Coke and not Pepsi (the taste born in the Carolinas). Highly recommended

This is the second time I dined / ordered from The Dixie Pig. This BBQ restaurant is literally a gem. I'm not always over the moon about bbq food however, this is the only place I would order from if I want authentic bbq, I'm a sucker for family owned restaurants and this restaurant is one of them. The moment you arrive you can't help but to notice the smell of the food and the decor. The service is amazing the family is very nice and helpful. The menu has a variety of bbq food and sides to go with it. Bring your heartiest appetite because they serve a good portion of food here.

We love coming here for ribs and fried okra. The sides are all good. The brisket is cooked well too. We have not tried the chicken but I'm sure it's great. I even get their bbq meat and use it to make a kick butt chili. Reasonable price for lots of food. They have three homemade sauces - traditional bbq, mustard and vinegar. I mix them together. I even put the sauce in the black eyed peas...so good. On Dixie highway which is busy but there's seats under cover for when it rains.
