Decades of awesomeness, regardless of what city I live in round here! The place exemplifies the superiority of North Carolina barbecue! I personally despise the plague of tomato and sugar barbecue that is everywhere else. Vinegar rocks! read more

Take out this time. Incredible portions as usual. The ribs were juicy and fell off of the bone. The 1/4 chicken was extremely juicy as well. The best Mac n cheese in town. read more

The esthetic of this restaurant is the same and true to a BBQ joint. The staff are nice and patient with you, any questions you might have they'll answer you thoroughly. However, I just found out when I went to lunch there that the restaurant has new owners and they changed their supplier and the rib quality isn't the same. The owner was nice and accommodated me. read more

In an era where service is lacking, this owner and all in the kitchen make this place worth coming back again and again. They are outstanding!! THE FOOD is delicious. If you have southern roots or grew up in AL, FL, GA, MS, NC, SC, this will transport you to your childhood. For those not from the south, come and have the best experience of your life. Prices are fair and reasonable for the quality and amount of food. And it's "real" ice tea, sweet or unsweetened. Seating is outdoors under a covered patio but this is quite ok. You'll be too busy enjoying your meal to worry about being outside. It's Florida. Enjoy the day! read more

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. read more

I rarely take Dixie HYWY . But today I did and finally decided to try this place. I ordered a full slab , collard greens and Mac Ñ cheese to go. Everything was packaged nicely and securely. The ribs were INCREDIBLE! Like butter! Not over seasoned. I tried the hot BBQ , honey mustard and regular BBQ sauces all very good. The collard greens were delicious! The seasoning and flavor were delicious. The Mac and cheese was DELICIOUS! Al dente, not mushy and not overly cheesed! It was delicious. I finished it off with banana pudding that was ADDICTINGLY DELICIOUS!!!!!! Their prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get and considering the price of meat in this day and age. One full slab can feed à family of four!!!!!! This place has a new customer! The best part about this place it's family run!!! Support your local business!!! God bless them!!!!!!! read more

I'm a sucker for brisket and this place has a good one. I had the platter and all the sides were so good too.

For some reason the new owners came in and thought it would be a good idea to change the recipes. The "new" collard greens are disgusting. Never could understand why anyone would buy a successful, long running business and then go change all the things that made the place great. Today they lost another long time customer. read more

The service was great, but the food was even better. We had the rib tips, 1/4 chicken and sliced brisket. Huge portions and the meat was perfect. Cute place with outdoor seating. Will definitely be back! read more

We've been eating here for 30 years, raved about it, recommended it to everyone we know as THE local joint for real NC style lowland BBQ. Knew the man who started it and WHERE he came from when he opened it. Hadn't been here since the original family sold it. And got surprised at the changes. Portions still good, roadside historic eatery ambiance, good service. But the change in tastes are stark! The only thing that tasted to us like the Dixie Pig we remembered was the sauces. Cole slaw...totally new recipe...same with the beans. Even the hush puppies were different. NOT necessarily bad, different. But decisively not what we were familiar with and loved. If you are a long time patron of the DIXIE PIG, I'd love to hear your opinion. We'll be looking for a new BBQ joint. And again, your mileage may vary. For a first timer, it may just be something you fall i love with.

Seems like new owner. Cornbread 2.5" by 2" by 3/4". Is now a fekin joke. Twice now I ordered cornbread as a side and got bupkis. Ribs seem dryer than usual and now no longer has brown gravy. You hot just one more shot before you lose a customer of many years. read more

Side of hush puppies was only 3 hush puppies for 4 dollars...add more for a better review

Ordered take out and so disappointed! Ordered a sliced brisket sandwich and for 4.00 extra, you get 3 onion rings! Yes, 3 onion rings. More than a dollar a ring. The new owner, Jeff called me to apologize. He's trying to manage the transition from the old owners and it's difficult and he was very accommodating. I'm going again tomorrow to get the same delicious brisket sandwich. Thanks Jeff! You are the best! read more

Haven't been to Dixie Pig in a little while but found myself craving the Brunswick Stew, only to find out that they no longer have it. Super disappointing and hope they bring it back. Decided to go with my second go-to, which is the pulled pork sandwich, and it was good. Meat was juicy and the sauces were still tasty. Fries were also pretty good, probably could have been a tad bit crispier. The cashier was nice and the ambiance is the same as it's always been. read more

We had a great experience Amber was so hospitable and friendly and we all loved the food. Greens and beans were a bit over cooked but the flavor was on point. I recommend giving this place a try. read more

Long time customer who will no longer order from here. Food quality has absolutely plummeted!!! Prices have increased by 25%!!! My last meal there was absolutely disgusting! I've heard since that there are new owners. Well, thank you to the new owners for taking a South Florida gem and turning it into a dog food factory. I don't think you will be able to come back from the mess you've made. ZERO STARS!!! read more

My girlfriend and I were driving back from fort Lauderdale today and felt like barbecue I know she wanted to go to Georgia pig they were closed so we googled another place and they closed in 10 minutes at 4:00 so this place came up I'd never been there before and we were close by and it looks like a little dive but it's honestly the best barbecue I've ever had I pulled pork sandwich the baked beans and the color green and sweet tea but what more could you ask for I was the perfect meal but ambience is very simple laid back outdoor seating but I'm definitely going back and try some other of their food the brisket supposed to be good also read more

Why, why, WHY do new owners buy a popular restaurant that has been reliably serving tasty bbq and sides and has been a bbq joint fixture in the area for so many years....and immediately think "hey, let's change up the recipes that have been keeping the customers coming back over and over for decades"??? Been patronizing Dixie Pig for what seems like forever, and stopped in yesterday for a small to go order: 1 lb pulled pork, hush puppies, baked beans and Cole slaw. The Good: The baked beans seemed to be up to par and comparable to what I am used to here...hush puppies were different, but still decent if you weren't familiar with the prior recipe. The Bad: the pulled pork was somewhat dry, and seemed different...but willing to give it another shot...maybe just an over cooked batch. The Ugly: the Cole slaw recipe was way different and just, well, not good. As many times as I've enjoyed the food here, I'm willing to give it another shot--at least as to the bbq; as for that Cole slaw, that's now a no go, at least with the "new recipe"--and will update my review after my next foray if warranted. Constructive Suggestion: scrupulously follow recipes and cooking methods of prior owners that brought them so much success for so long read more

Excellent BBQ - pulled pork melts in your mouth. Baked beans perfectly seasoned. Al around excellent meal

When I want barbecue this is where I go. The food is always great and the service is always friendly and efficient. Seating is outside under the covered patio that is part of the building. Very casual and comfortable. Highly recommended! read more

Fantastic wings and brisket. Make sure to try the Alabama sauce. The fried pickles with southwest ranch was also worth remarking upon. The atmosphere is except what we were looking for. Clean but worn, obviously a beloved local staple. The service was top notch, attentive and friendly. read more

Ribs were not up to par. We have eaten here many times, but today the meat was tough and rubbery. Needed a steak knife to cut the meat from the bone. It usually falls off the bone. Collard greens were not quite done, hush puppies were crispy on the outside and raw in the middle. Even the corn bread was more lump like and not flaky as in the past. After years of eating here we won't be back. read more

It's 3 pm when we got our ribs. Worse barbecue i ever had. Rubbery. Hard. Could not tear it apart with 2 hands. No smoke smell. White flesh without the barbecue marks on it. Not sure it's the Carolina style cause I never had it, or maybe it's the time of the day so meat dried out. Staff tried by giving me another batch but it was worse than the first . Almost as if the rib was boiled and just barbecued on top of it I wanted a refund . They didn't allow it. The server said people usually order sandwich. I can see why! From now on if I am stepping on a barbecue place that do not small like burning wood o will not stop to eat on it. Sauces where very delicious. Clean place excellent service. I left hungry . Counts not eat the ribs . Left more than half of the serving on the plate read more

I've lived in Fort Lauderdale since 1968 and I am ashamed to say that I've never been here. I've driven by hundreds of times in my life. Finally I decided to stop in recently and oh my God.... Let me just say it was the most incredible slab of ribs I have ever had. Tender, juicy, flavorful and fall off the bone. Sauces are fantastic and they were kind enough to give me a sample of all of them. They were so big, we split an order and that was plenty! Weekends, they have brisket so we will definitely be going back for that! What took me so long, I can't say, but it will be a monthly visit from here on out. . read more

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 read more

Good food and friendly service. Prices are very reasonable. Sitting is outside so not very comfortable if it's too hot. We have gone back a few times and the food/service are constantly great. read more

No need to wax additionally on their service, friendliness or food. Today it's just a tip if you will. If you order a NC pulled pork sandwich, you better top it with the NC cole slaw and some additional NC vinegar bbq sauce...not doing so is wasted trip. I did try one of their daily specials, Brisket Tacos. They're meant to be kept street style with cilantro and diced onion, but definitely add the thin sauce that comes on the plate. The tacos were a pleasant surprise. We were quite happy with Peach Cobbler for dessert as well. I guess this is three tips instead of just the first one. 2nd, don't necessarily shy away from daily specials here...yes, in a lot of restaurants the daily specials are a way to move food products that are on their way out of freshness. 3rd, save room for the cobbler or just stuff yourself. read more

The only food that made me feel back home. Good food! Good people! Good Carolina/Tennessee style bbq

We stopped by this little gem and are so glad we did. They had a special on sliced brisket and it was mouthwatering delicious! The collard greens were also a hit. Our order was taken with a smile which made us feel very welcome. In addition to the food we enjoyed the outdoor seating. We will definitely stop here again when we visit the area again. Worth the stop. You won't be disappointed. read more

Simply marvelous,all made in house u could be happy with side dishes all are outstanding I think their potato salad and Cole slaw are the best I have ever tasted.greens,Mac& cheese show real care. Now the meats real old time smoked in the professional Texas style. Ribs are masterpieces. Great beer selection tap and bottle. Decor is southern jukejoint not a bit of glitz or Formica garland down and dirty but sets a great atmosphere. Some of the nicest caring owners I've enjoyed.! Go and thank me later read more

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. read more
