The service was fine. However, the BBQ we had was not worth eating, at least what could be chewed and eaten. We had brisket and a rack of ribs. The brisket was good flavor wise, but we had one piece that was 95% fat (the only moist piece) the others were very dry. The ribs were so tough that you couldn't get the meat off the bone and I don't particularly care for gnawing on bones. Please find another place to go for barbecue! read more

Dixie Q - Awful!! - Barbeque Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

See all

I've been here several times over the years and can say the food here is good and very consistent. The place feels like a "joint" that has been upgraded and gives you a cool neighborhood BBQ vibe - it's a great place in an excellent location. My faves here are the pork rinds - dipped in the sauce- house made sausage and St. Louis style ribs top my list - and as of last night I added the brisket grilled cheese. A BBQ sandwich is always on time also. Sides are really good - I recommend the Mac n cheese, Collards and House Chips - but sometimes I'm in the mood for the salted fries . Service is pretty good, and friendly - i absolutely recommend you give it a shot if you're in the area. It won't disappoint. read more

Great casual bbq spot in downtown Brookhaven. The pulled pork was delicious and I loved the side selection. The bbq sauce was great, but the white sauce is an upcharge sadly. They have limited parking behind the restaurant, but there is plenty of parking in the area. They have a nice outdoor seating area for nice days read more

Dixie Q - Pulled Pork Plate with 2 Sides and cornbread - Barbeque Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

We originally thought this place might be OK because it had a fair amount of positive reviews... we were wrong.. all I can say is that there are some people who have no clue what actual barbecue is supposed to taste like or how it's supposed to be cooked. The Brisket was edible, but extremely dry. The ribs were horrendous, not edible at all, very tough and dry! I would say skip this joint and go to a real barbecue restaurant. read more

Dixie Q - Horrible ribs - Barbeque Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Food was good. Pork especially tender and the sides all delicious. The best item was the corn bread, brick sized and full of flavor when butter is applied, don't scrimp on butter. Services were not the strong suit as they only take on line orders, the question s I had when I called could not be answered without a manger prompt. When I was waiting twenty minutes past the promised time for pick up, I witnessed a lot of confusion and ambivalence by the front host. Lastly, for a place that competes with a well known Que restaurant nearby, the prices are not equal to the caliber of the product or homey friendly feel. It should be a set point for a neighborhood fixture of reasonable good quality Que. it definitely has the quality side of good food hands down. read more

Dixie Q - A sample of meat, ribs, great salad, corn bread, rich Mac and cheese. - Barbeque Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Great food, excellent service and Abita Amber on draught! Good parking. I was here on a Monday-surprisingly not crowded. This the the kind of GA bbq I miss in FL! Bravo read more

I've been here previously. It's been a while. They don't play when it comes to the brisket here at all! They are consistent with it. Delicious every time I get some. A lot more people might not know about this location if they are not in the neighborhood. This spot is real ducked off. I got a burger with fries and extra patty because I never had it before. It was alright. They didn't have no brisket Chilli today. I got the grilled cheese brisket sandwich with house chips. I dipped my sandwich in the OG sauce delicious! Definitely the winner! I didn't have lunch at work so I went here once I got off from work. Definitely worth the ride. I just want to try the beef rib here in the future. read more

Dixie Q is located just off Dresden in the heart of Brookhaven. As others have stated, parking can be a challenge. The number of spaces in their lot is about 8. Outside of that there is street parking and a parking lot across the street. The only time I would think it could be a major challenge would be peak weekend times. But don't let that deter you, because Dixie Q is solid BBQ. Maybe not the best in Atlanta, but definitely the best out of the 3 other BBQ spots in the immediate area. I have only been twice. Once by myself and one with my family. The atmosphere is nice. Pretty typical for a BBQ place. Service was excellent both times. I've had their brisket, pork, and sausage. All very solid. Although I must say the seasoned fries might be the highlight. Both times they were hot and perfectly cooked. Overall, a worthy addition to Brookhaven. Between Chamblee and Brookhaven, this is by far the best BBQ in the area. Yes...including the new addition in Brookhaven Station. read more

Dixie Q - Brunswick Stew & BBQ & fries - Barbeque Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Took guests to dinner last night and was horribly embarassed and disappointed. Two of us ordered the Chopped Brisket and it was so full of fat that it was not edible. I spoke to the only employee I saw and he said, "You should have ordered lean brisket and he was sorry". I was not aware of this choice. Doubt that we will be back. read more

I came here and it was pretty empty. I was greeted right away and the cashier/host was having his first day on the job. At first I thought maybe they weren't busy but then I noticed they had a lot of to go orders going out. The cashier was very friendly and so was the two people getting the to go orders ready, A gentleman with locs and a woman with faux locs. I ordered a half rack of ribs, potato salad, Mac n cheese, collard greens, Brunswick stew. The wait wasn't very long, but they still gave me a little treat for the wait which left me pleasantly surprised. Then I remembered when I came a while back, I got the ribs but they were too salty. I made sure to taste them before I left. This time they were seasoned perfectly and the bones slid right out. The potato salad was well seasoned and very tasty. The collard greens were well seasoned but also a little sweet and smoky. The Mac and cheese was good as well. The Brunswick stew was very delicious. I have absolutely no complaints. The store was clean, the staff was friendly and the food was good read more

Seen this spot on ESPN and gave it a try. The brisket grilled cheese is a must try! Didn't have room for the white chocolate bread pudding. But looking forward to trying that as well. read more

We went for lunchto today. The parking lot is small but we got there around opening time so there was no trouble getting a parking spot. The service was quick and friendly. The prices are decent and the portions are good. Not too much or too little. The food was okay overall. The Mac and cheese tasted good but the noodles were way overcooked so the texture was more of a mash. The ribs were well seasoned. I think that because we arrived early in the day, the ribs weren't quite ready. They flavor was good but the fat hadn't rendered yet and the fatty end was hard to eat. My husband enjoyed the potato salad, but his brisket was dry. The lemonade is delicious. All in all, we're glad we tried it but we won't be back. read more

Let me start by saying that the wait staff was very friendly. Unfortunately the restaurant was very disappointing. The restroom smelled like urine and the floor was very sticky, that should have been my cue to leave. I ordered the brisket with some sides. The meat was so incredibly dry, brisket is not supposed to be like that and the Texas toast was literally a slice of white bread.I will not be coming back to Dixie Q ever again. read more

I have been back a couple of times now and am afraid I am going to have to downgrade this to a two star. It's ok, but to many things just not what they could be. The last two times the service has not been very attentive. Forgetting my order, getting the order wrong, not knowing the menu. Incorrect pricing in the ticket. The meat is the key to any bbq and the meat has not been good the last two trips. To much fat, poor trimming. You really have to be careful eating it or you will get a bite of nothing but fat. I really think they are putting more effort into the cocktails, Bear and wine selection. I think they need to decide if they want to be a bar that also serves bbq or a bbq place that also offers alcohol because in my opinion right now they are failing at both. read more

Like the food, but the take-out service experience--particularly the terrible mobile website--is flat out awful. It's all about them and their convenience. Live nearby and wanted food for a family dinner--7 people. Was told a few days earlier I would be able to order and drive right over to pick up. -- Called today and asked them how much I should order (they told me)--then was told they would not take my order over the phone--must be ordered on their website. Clearly their convenience is more important than mine. -- So hung up and opened the site on my phone and discovered I could not order the bbq quantity they suggested on the site (2 pounds). -- Called back and they said I needed to make the order in the catering section of their site. -- Hung up again and tried the catering section of the site--and discovered again that I could not order the bbq quantity they suggested on that part of the site either. -- So, against better judgement, drove over to order in person. -- They clearly didn't believe me, but two different employees at the restaurant tried to show me what I should have done--and were unable to figure out how to place the order. -- It's simply a bad mobile interface that does not serve the customer. -- And of course, they couldn't simply take an order over the phone to help the customer. Should have gone to Fox Brothers. read more

We came here this past Sunday for an early dinner, a little after 3 pm. I didn't want to park in the tiny and cramped parking lot, which was mostly full, so I parked in the parking lot across the street, where free parking spaces are available. We walked in and were immediately welcomed with a smile by one of the employees. Looking at R, I asked him if he wanted to sit in the outdoor patio on the side of the building. Before he could ask, the employee told us that there were mosquitoes (this was after a couple of days of on and off rain showers) buzzing outside around the patio. I thanked her and told her we'd be sitting inside, so she told us to sit anywhere we wanted. About a third of the tables were occupied, so we were easily able to pick out a table where we wanted to sit. Our server brought us menus and took our drink orders. After a few minutes, she returned with our drinks and took our orders: Sliced brisket meat plate with two sides (crispy Brussel sprouts and baked mac) for me and pulled pork meat plate with two sides (crispy Brussel sprouts and red beans and rice) for R. Both of our plates included a slice of Texas toast and a couple of slices of pickles. This restaurant can seat many people in a relatively small area. There are tables with chairs for customers, or they can sit on tall stools at high counters or high top tables. They can even sit at the well stocked bar. No matter where customers sit, they'll be able to watch any of the multiple TV monitors. While we were there all of the monitors were tuned to sports programs. After waiting for about 20 minutes, our meals were served, and the heavenly aromas of the meats wafted through the air. *sigh* There are bottles of condiments: ketchup, regular bbq and spicy bbq on each table. My beef brisket was seasoned perfectly and tasted delicious even without any sauce. However, I added some spicy bbq sauce to the meat, and that just kicked up the flavor index a couple of notches. The brisket was sooo tender and juicy, with some fat marbled in. The crispy Brussel sprouts weren't crispy, but they were tender and had a nice slightly sweetened flavor. The baked mac was soft and very cheesy. I loved the food, and I thought the brisket portion was generous. I actually took home some of the brisket and most of the mac. Fyi, the leftover brisket and mac heated up well and were so delicious a couple days later! R liked his meal a whole lot and would definitely order it again. Overall, the service was good. I wish our server came around more often to check on us instead of us calling out to her whenever we needed more napkins (there aren't any napkins or rolls of paper towels on the tables) or water refills. Overall, a good dining experience, and I definitely recommend the beef brisket. read more

Best BBQ in Atlanta. Been here 39 years and finally found a great BBQ place. There are some good BBQs but this Cajun-inspired BBQ is now our favorite. Pulled pork sandwich is the most flavorful, moist & tender one I've had in a while. Quaint Brookhaven location. A must to seek out. Service was good too! read more

Was looking for a new bbq spot and stumbled upon Dixie Q. Unfortunately, it took a solid 15 minutes to be greeted by a waiter, though we noticed them taking other tables orders. I ordered the brisket plate and my husband ordered the pork plate. We were both highly dissatisfied. Both meats were fatty and greasy (literally sliding around on our plates). The bbq sauce was watery and lacked flavor. The only redeeming quality was the vegetable sides (brussel sprouts and collard greens). read more

Service was really bad. I don't think we've ever been so neglected at a spot that wasn't busy. Waiter shouldn't be waiting tables, my partner was a server and is extremely lenient to servers but even he was shocked. Brisket was almost all fat. I'd get a different meat. What shines here are the sides. Brussel sprouts, coleslaw, collards are my fave. read more

This place is a great family friendly location. The staff are incredibly friendly and on top of it. The food is great. The brisket grilled cheese and pork rinds are my go to menu items. The smoked wings are unreal, sone of the best I've had. The location is also great. I was worried they'd get pushed out due to Fox Bros meting so close now, but it seems they are thriving. They have a solid cocktail menu that features seasonal specials. Keep rockin Dixie Q read more

Food...ok. Customer experience...meh. I think maybe 3 other ppl were there, and it took forever for our server to take our order and for it to come out. So, of course it should've been piping hot, right? Negative. It was lukewarm and bland. I had pulled pork, sausage, greens and cornbread. Didn't know it came with toast. Had I known, I wouldn't have ordered cornbread. It was very bland as well. The sausage was not good at all. I took one bite and didn't touch the rest. Definitely won't return. read more

They listened to us!!! This place added salmon, so they are now five stars instead of 4 and 1/2. It is a very casual atmosphere with many tables (low and high tops), bar space, and a few big TVs. It is very family-friendly and a good place for a date. When I got here at 6, there were only two tables full, but I think the next 15 minutes it filled up. They have cute pics of pigs you can easily take selfies with to fill your social media. Anyways my hubby had the pulled pork plate with creole slaw and cornbread. It also came with a piece of Texas toast. He said the meat was very moist and tasty. The slaw was top-notch; creole versions have mustard in them. The cornbread was just ok so that I wouldn't get it again. I prefer sweet cornbread. Updated 1/22/19- Calling all pescatarian!!! Thank you, Dixie Q, for adding salmon to the menu! Now I can come here whenever I want and eat a variety of things. They cook it correctly, so it falls right off the skin and melts in your mouth. It was so fantastic that my hubby stole an extra bit even tight he had pulled pork to eat with the bib salad. OMG GET THIS SALAD!! it is so delicious, but maybe ask for dressing on the side. ***They still haven't created a reasonably priced veggie plate since I updated and gave them five stars, and they should!!!****This was disappointing because ordering them as the side made them more expensive than my hubby's meal. So they should change that as we all know the veggies they are serving aren't as valuable as the meat. Luckily the side was and still are good. I picked fries (plain or seasoned) with seasoning, as they are just a vehicle for the BBQ sauce. The Mac and cheese were the big long noodles, and it seemed like there was a white cheese inside them along with the typical cheese. They are so cheesy and great heated the next day. The final side, which is still the winner, crispy Brussels sprouts, was my fav. They were oh so crispy and in a yummy sweet sauce. I wish I would have ordered some to go. read more

I ordered the Meat Combo. I paid an extra $3 to get ribs in the combo. The ribs candle out cold. I also got the chicken wings. The wings were eing dings bit whole wings. They were okay ay best, but at least they were hot. I got greens for the sides, but they were not good. Tasted them and passed. The meal also came with Texas Toast. Mine was cold and burnt. This was a waste of $33. The server was pleasant. That's why they got 2 stars. read more

Dixie Q is so delish. They always have great food and customer service. Their burgers are phenomenal! Easily in the top 5 of burgers in ATL for me.

The food and drinks are good! The service overall was good, our waitress was not helpful or knowledgeable of menu/offerings. The manager/another male employee appeared more engaging. We only tried this restaurant because of the connect with Serpas.

We would try again if in the area, would not make an intentional trip. read more

I've had Dixie Q for takeout several times, but dined at the restaurant this time. They have a sign that requires masks (as I think most establishments in Brookhaven do) and I'd say all the staff was wearing masks and most patrons were when moving around and not seated or eating. There was social distancing and we were seated by the open patio door so that made me feel comfortable. They have outdoor dining options if that is something you are looking for. All in all I'd say both the service and food was ok but not great. The service was a little slow, but I'm going to assume they were backed up due to a large number of takeout orders. However, our server never let us know that, or gave us any feedback or updates as to why it was taking long which I always appreciate. I had the pulled pork plate with the spiced fries. The pulled pork was very salty and had a lot of fat on it and the spiced fries were good but not amazing. This side was really talked up so maybe my expectations were high. All in all I enjoyed my visit, and would definitely go back and hope they were having an off night. I might try visiting earlier in the evening to get some of the ribs, as they were out of those by 7:30pm when we were there. read more

I saw where Dixie Q was rated in the Top 10 of BBQ and I was in the mood to try something new. I enjoy good smokey bbq with a nice dry rub. The people are SUPER friendly which is why I gave them two stars. They are nice, engaging, funny, and super polite. I spent $77 and ordered the following: * 1 1/2 slabs of ribs * 1 lb. of brisket * sides: Mac/cheese, greens, red beans & rice, and potato salad I was extremely disappointed overall; although I could not eat much after my first attempt. The ribs were soooooo incredibly salty; not slightly but overwhelmingly salty. No other distinctive taste other than intense salt. I used the Mac/cheese to try to mix in with the ribs to subdue the salt but didn't work. Within minutes i had such an extreme headache I could not finish the meal and just placed it in the refrigerator. The ribs are not as meaty as you normally expect on a rib and was very thin. I don't see myself returning there again. Sorry, I haven't tried the rest and couldn't give any feedback. The ribs did me in for sure. Update: The next day I threw away the ribs ave ate the sides. No flavor. No taste. Publix potato salad is better. Overall a worst choice I've made in months read more

Dixie Q has really stepped up to serve the neighborhood community during the "shelter in place" dining room closures.

Zero Stars. My wife ordered 42 wings, straightforward, paid for them up front. Came back to pick them up and was handed the food, but the front desk took the order back and gave her a different bag. The entire food order was someone else's and when we called to discuss, the person on the call was extremely rude and said " well we are losing twice on this" and " you can come back and get it yourself." They would not refund the order, so we will have to fix with our credit card company. This not the first time the experience has been not great here. Maybe the food is decent, but being rude when it's your mistake is the quickest way to lose business. read more

Getting the bad out of the way first: the banana pudding was not good, definitely not sweet enough in my humble opinion and the cornbread needed to be sweeter as well. On to the good parts: the turkey and chicken wings were delicious as were the brussel sprouts despite sitting in their juices. The mac and cheese was middle of the road for me. Infinitely better than what most restaurants serve but they also don't use macaroni noodles so it was a little unexpected though not bad. I fully expected to be stuffed after getting the two meat plate with three sides, a seasonal root beer and dessert and for almost $40 I have to admit I'm a little disappointed that I wasn't. I wouldn't go out of my way to return but wouldn't balk at the idea if I was invited. read more
