Stopped at this dinner for lunch because there is not a lot of choices here that were open. I had the grilled chicken sandwich. It was good but nothing to brag about. The fried mushrooms tasted good. The one thing that stuck out was that they know their customers and address them by their first names. This is something you don't see often any more. The dinner is not big and it can get crowded. read more

Interesting barbecue with sliced meat and a unique sauce. Excellent vanilla milkshake and onion rings.

A true hometown favorite still in the same unassuming digs years later. Not much has changed. Still serving up some great barbecue with a sweet sauce, and great sides (especially the onion rings and coleslaw). A Jonesboro gem! My personal preference over 17th Street for when I'm in the mood for barbecue read more

Absolutely the worst BBQ I have paid for yet. I bought 5 pounds at 17 dollars a pound. It came in paper bag out of the fridge, no taste what so ever, not a ounce of smell. It was absolutely pitiful. Not to mention it was sliced so thin you can see through it, if it wasn't for the BBQ sauce it would have been a total loss. read more

After we hiked this morning we hit Dixie BBQ. I had the Hog (it's a burger with pulled pork on it) was very good. Fries are good and crispy, onion rings are solid too. Staff was helpful and friendly. Place must be good, place was packed. We ate outside on the patio, which was nice since it wasn't too hot and the umbrellas made it perfect. If you are in the area Dixie Bar B Que is a must. read more

Had the Brisket sandwich. It was very good. However I am not a fan of the sauce at all. Never tasted any sauce like it. Give customers an option on sauces and this review would be 5 stars. Say no to the sauce. read more

Slice BBQ heaven! I love their sauce. My favorite order here is the large BBQ basket, well done BBQ (they crisp it up on the Grill top), no pickles, and onion rings instead of fries. Then you gotta get the sauce and dress your sliced pork and then pour it in your onion rings. The sauce is a sweet sauce. My son loves their cheeseburgers and when it's chill season, we definitely get our fair share. Chocolate malts at the end of the meal are always a treat. The service is incredible. I love feeling welcomed. The restaurant is very old and it hasn't changed, which is fine by me. Quality over fancy stuff is okay with me. read more

Great barbecue and fires!!! Stop here everyone we pass through here! Highly recommend eating here.

Great BBQ. Family owned & operated. Friendly staff. Stop by if you're in the area. Ambiance? This ain't no French restaurant. Hometown, baby. read more

This is a little place with limited seating but has good food at reasonable prices. They do accept credit cards too. The BBQ is good, a bit on the dry side but tasty and you can always add a touch of sauce. If you don't need a beer or a glass of wine, skip The Brick House Grill in Anna and head over to Dixie for a more reasonable priced meal. Note! Check their hours as they are not open late! read more

Our server was knowledgeable and great! The bbq was great! We tried all the sauces and they were great. The banana pudding was some of the best I've ever had. read more

Something you don't hear about great small town places. This place is clean! I grew up in the area and am well aware of the quality of the Dixie. Today I took my son and was truly impressed with how clean this place is after serving in the same small spot for so many years. Pride in your establishment! Well done. read more

Good sliced barbecue and different type sauce. The food always gets 5 stars. Unfortunately the staff's lack of proper mask wearing brought score down. One had mask below nose, one wore mask below chin and another had no mask. read more

So, this....THIS is the Bar B Q I grew up on. THIS is the Bar B Q upon which all others are judged. I'm not kidding. This is The Shit. Lol. It's small town charm like you've only heard about or seen in movies. This place gets packed. Hasn't changed much over the years. Fresh paint and new panelling. I strongly encourage you to give it a shot. But, like I said, it gets packed. Lines out the door packed. If that bugs you, come during off hours. Enjoy. read more

Stopped in while passing by. Small town feel. BBQ wasn't bad. A little different than others I've had. I would make it back. Business really picked up while I was there and I didn't stay long. read more

This is a local favorite and once you've been once, you'll know why! Their unique shaved bbq is fantastic and when you pair it with fries, you won't be disappointed. But don't just come once! Stop back by for a mouth watering cheeseburger. It won't disappoInt! you're a local, you're certain to run into several friends while eating. If you're just passing through, you're guaranteed to feel like a local. Stop by the Dixie for fabulous food and friendly faces! read more

I have been eating here since I can remember. They have very good barbecue. I think the secret is in the sauce. It's so good. When our relatives from Florida used to come visit, my grandfather would take the whole family there every year at least once during their visit. We used to joke that they drove all the way from Florida to eat at the Dixie. It's a very small building that can be misleading, but this restaurant has stood the test of time. So, you know it's good! read more

I've been here many times. Want a great little place to soak in some small town feel? Then this is your place. Small and clean with little wooden booths that have been painted at least 25 times all add to the charm of the restaurant. The after thought ceiling fan wire is all small town. The pork sandwich is amazingly consistent and as far as I'm concerned, the only thing on the menu because it is the only thing I have ever ordered. The thinly sliced smoked pork and butter toasted bun is awesome. Add some of their home made sauce and it's done deal good meal. Don't pass this place by if you find yourself in Anna-Jonesboro. read more

Use to come here often as a kid since my best friend lived behind it but coming back now that I'm older with a more developed pallet it is severely lacking in flavor. read more

Grew up in Jonesboro & been many places-there is no better BBQ & homemade BBQ sauce is best ever!! My children that live far away insist on going to Dixie every time they visit-even had to ship some BBQ sauce to son-in-law in Los Angeles area read more

Dixie is great, I'm a big fan of their sliced pork BBQ sandwiches. There weren't a ton of other options on the menu, but this was so good that nothing else was needed. read more

The BEST BBQ in the world!!!! If you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend it! Great food and great service!!

Been going to this BBQ joint since I was young each time I come visit Southern Illinois! True 'hole in the wall' BBQ joint with great tasting burgers, BBQ Sandwiches & Shakes. Friendly staff and great tasting sauce, its a 'must-go' when you are down in Anna. Only thing to keep in mind....they do not take CC or Debit. Make sure you have cash and you will not be disappointed. read more

Best BBQ ever!!!! I've traveled and lived all over, but ALWAYS we have to stop at Dixie when we come home and visit!! BEST EVER BBQ!!!!

This is hands down the best barbecue I've ever had. It's not the typical pulled pork you find everywhere, but a thin-sliced pile of pork with a sweet tangy unique sauce. It is heaven on a bun. They also have great fries and onion rings, but I'm there for the barbecue. read more

I've known some folks who swear by this place. I find the barbecue to be dry as can be, unless you absolutely drown it in their sauce. Even so, the sauce isn't much to write home about. Try to avoid eating inside because the word 'cramped' doesn't do it justice. Not for the claustrophobic. The staff have always been pretty friendly, but the food is nothing special. read more

I'm from the SOUTH and I've had both beef and pork from world champion winning BBQ pits from the Carolinas to Memphis to Arkansas and Texas. Illinois I'm sorry to tell you that the thinly sliced brisket with no recognizable smoke ring or flavor that was warmed on the flat grill was at best HORRIBLE and that pink sauce you put on it that had a funky thousand island with ranch and extra ketchup was NOT BBQ sauce by any stretch of the imagination. The staff was very friendly however. I happen to be traveling back home to the south when I had an urge for BBQ and this place was about 8 miles off of I-57 and had great ratings on Yelp. This is the FIRST bad report I think I've given, but I OWED IT TO THE UNSUSPECTING BBQ ENTHUSIAST!!! That all said as I sat there enjoying my crispy onion rings I looked around and it appeared that over 90% of customers were eating burgers which smelled great on the grill. I could not or would not eat the sandwich. read more

This place has the best BBQ pork anywhere around the world..... and I mean anywhere. It can;t get any better than Dixie BBQ in Jonesboro, IL and I am from Chicago and I truly cannot wait to eat the BBQ pork when I come to visit family. It is very small restaurant, but it is truly a place you should not miss eating at. I have ate her since I was a little girl and still come back to eat here. I wish I could take Dixie BBQ home with me, because once you try Dixie BBQ there is no comparison to any other BBQ pork anywhere in the world. They have other foods and eats and they are very good, but nothing like good ole DIXIE BBQ in Jonesboro, IL......... Yes..... Jonesboro...... IL read more

I grew up here and have eaten here many times. But the last time we ate there (which was a long time ago) we had to ask them where the meat was for our BBQ. Like man there isn't any on it. Very pricy for what they give you. It was just a bread sandwich. Not only that, I didn't really care for the sauce anymore. Not sure why. Maybe my tastes have changed. Anyway we don't eat here anymore. And the last burger I had from there was a bit on the greasy side too. I sure hope they have changed for the better in the last few years that I have not been there. The Dixie has been around for 50 years I think. I would hate to see them go. read more
