Certainly seems like a local hangout for the older folks. My friends and I went on a weekend for ladies night out since the bars around didn't really offer any food at that time unless we wanted frozen pizza. Not being from the area I decided that we should give it a try. I had the chicken fingers with their homemade sauce. It was rather yummy sauce and the chicken was cooked well. I am pretty picky about my chicken, I like it more on the dry side too. Nice place, small though and the food took a while to come out. One thing I must mention...THE DRINKS ARE HUGE! Biggest cups ever, but hey you get thirsty when you are eating all that chicken. read more

The food is great, but they cheat you out of your money After being told on the phone it would be 35, the delivery person told us 48. We called, got it to 43. It isn't good enough to make me return for a long time after this experience. read more

Stopped while in the area,chicken was great,fried cod was also good.My very favorite thing was the onion rings.Service was friendly and pretty fast.When in back in the area i will hit this place up again. Yummy!!!! read more

If their motto is "grease is good" they they succeed. Fried foods is what this place does best.

Awesome chicken and chicken tenders. I live 75 miles from Dixon but was working in the area and looked in Yelp for somewhere to eat. Glad I found this place! I had breasts and wings and brought chicken tenders home to my wife and after driving 90 minutes my wife ate them cold and said they were really tasty! I will be back if I'm in the area again! read more

We enjoyed our meal here and had good service. The chicken was outstanding and the pieces were large and juicy. Cozy atmosphere but plain and clean. Stop here if you want fresh crispy fried chicken and a friendly owner who always acknowledges his customers with a smile. read more

My family and I visited them from Madison,WI over the weekend, our son is a huge fan and lives in Dixon, so we checked it out. What an amazing family friendly atmosphere! the food is wonderful and prices were low! I had the chicken and mashed potatoes and a fried Twinki. I would suggest this place to anyone coming to visit Dixon. The chicken pieces were so huge everyone had to take a to go box! The chicken was so good, hot and fresh, watched them batter the chicken and then fry it. I have asked my son to bring some home when he comes back to Madison to visit. Don't leave Dixon without trying BBY's read more

Good Food, Good People, Great Price!! Our family took a day trip to Dixon to visit Ronald Reagan's boyhood home. By mere chance we ended up at BBY and it was the perfect spot. Recommend the chicken strips, gravy, fried pickles and dessert!! read more

As always the chicken strip meal was awesome, big chunks of breast meat perfectly breaded and fried golden brown. Onion rings were also perfect. My wife ordered fried pickles, needless to say there will be no kissing at our house, she ate them all in one sitting so they must have been good. Mike wasn't even in the store and the quality was still 5 star. And as always everything was made fresh when I arrived to pick up my carry out order, you won't find a heat lamp at bby. There should be a 6th star for places like this, great food, a+ quality, friendly staff, what more do you want? read more

Insanely good chicken!! Best in the world! and their R-sauce is freakin incredible! I always ask for extra! that might be why they started charging for it on the side....But it's so worth it! I want to try different things on the menu but the boneless chicken strips is soo good I always end up getting that! I have gotten their appetizer sampler before though and it's pretty good deep fried stuff :) especially the pickles! read more

Best chicken around!! Place is small but staff is great & friendly.. Def one of my favorite places to eat in Dixon

I can't see the basis for the glowing reviews - maybe nostalgia because it's been there so long - I don't know. When I saw comparisons to Ripp's in Ladd I had to write a review. I have to disagree- Ripp's is far and away a better chicken place. We ordered the mushrooms as an appetizer and they were great. Perfectly fried, whole mushrooms (not the ground up mushrooms that you sometimes get). The chicken was so-so. It wasn't bad - but it wasn't great either. It was your average fried chicken from your average restaurant. You get your choice of potato - one being baked potato - but on each table was a bottle of liquid Parkay margarine so I ordered the mashed potatoes instead. They were ok - definitely instant - with a kind of funky gravy. The cole slaw was very unusual - to tell you the truth I don't know if I liked it or didn't - it was borderline. It had a sour taste to it like they made it with sour cream rather than mayonnaise. If you are going to eat here make sure you go to the bathroom before you come. The bathrooms are down a steep flight of steps - and there is a warning that the steps are dangerous and they are not responsible if something should happen to you. It's like going to the bowels of the earth. However, should you really like the food here a trip to the bathroom will reveal all the secrets necessary to duplicate the experience including the brand of breading for the chicken. I will say this - the food was not terrible - it was ok and somewhat satisfying and the prices were certainly reasonable. The 1/2 chicken dinner is like $7.00 including potato and salad. If you are very hungry and watching your budget and find yourself in Dixon then stop in. Otherwise, skip it. read more

Great chicken strips, friendly, friendly folks. You get a "heap" of strips and great dipping sauce. I think the salad served in a styrofoam dish and a not quite baked potato kept me from giving this place more stars! Can't beat location, but restaurant a little run down. read more

Ate here recently. Three in our party had the chicken fingers and fries. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and delicious. The fries have significantly improved since the last time I was in here. They came out hot and crispy. The other person in our party had the double-cheeseburger with fries. He made it a point to ask me why I had not bothered to bring him to this restaurant sooner. When we were finished eating the owner joked with us and hoped we enjoyed everything (we did). I would recommend this place to anyone in the area. It's a nice family owned restaurant with good food. read more

I dont understand how anyone can eat at this place. From what I have been told they used to be pretty good. Right now however it is the ultimate in grease. Everything in the place is coated in a thin layer of grease. The chicken tenders are drowning in the stuff and if you decide to eat them I suggest getting several dozen napkins to get rid of the excess thats on the food. Can't say I will be going here ever again. read more

If want good chicken this not a bad place to stop and get some.. My family wanted both quarters and strips . I tried both and I can say they are both good along with the fries and rings.. Price is fair and I sure can't complain . Not a bad place actually very good.. read more

Went there for the food and it was as good as we expected! If you like fried food this is the place for you! What we were pleasently suprised with was the extra care the owner gave to our family. He hand delivered our food across the street to the beautiful river tables. In a time where good service is hard to come by he went above and beyond our expectations! Only thing better then the food was the owners commitment to excellent service! very pleased!! read more

Recently moved to the area and was told to try BBY. It has the best fried chicken I have ever had. Tried Ripps and liked BBY better. And no wait! Ended up living about an hour from Dixon, but will drive in for Chicken. read more

I know the people like it but I'm not impressed. The food it self is just ok at best. I know it's fried chicken and you should expect it to be greasy but dripping with grease? The price is ridiculously high for what it is. However, the onion rings are the best in this town. read more

Chicken strips are Ah-mazing. The strips and sauce are ridiculously good and the best I have ever had. The only negative is the hours aren't longer (4-9 PM). It's a great small town resteraunt. read more

the gizzards in BBY and they are fabulous. love the batter and tenderness of the gizzards. nice crunch batter that really accents the chicken.. really fresh bought chicken and it is so tender it melts in your mouth. would give them ten out of ten. not fancy but great people running the place. simple and affordable place. check it out soon read more

you won't find better chicken strips on the planet, can't get enough of their sauce either, seriously the best scald i've ever had. owner Mike treats me like a friend every time i'm in there. everything on the menu is great, but the strips dinner is truly a treat. great fried desserts also, he once told me you can fry anything, anything except a tootsie roll. lol read more
