Parking is right in front of the building on a gravel surface. There are only about four marked spaces but there is more parking along the side of the building if needed. This is primarily a take out spot, although there are a few seats under the awning along with several picnic tables with umbrellas to the side. You go up three steps to the window to order. The menu is below the window and includes the expected items. I ordered the special, which was a pork sandwich, logs, and a drink. The logs are chunks of potato deep fried like French fries. My sandwich was ready in under five minutes. It would have been quicker except the logs were freshly made. No complaints either way. The sandwich was good but not great. The pork had a slight smoked flavor but the meat was a bit dry. The slaw and bbq sauce helped. The logs are indeed chucks of potato, and I got a lot of them. I was certainly full after finishing. Truth be told, I also finished off the pork that fell out of my sandwich as well. Dixie is certainly a viable option for a quick lunch.

This is a good old fashion buffet with home style cooking. We have always seen this parking lot…read morepacked and wanted to see what was it that drew in an over flow parking lot. I'm reminded of an older homey diner, plenty of seating, plenty of staff assisting. Pre-pay, get seated, order you drinks and choose from so many southern dishes. The presentation was that of a cafeteria mixed with mix n match buffet equipment, I think this played part on how I choose my food. They home style choices were numerous so definitely something for everyone. What I did love about this restaurant, it was definitely serving the local community and based on the number of larger, multi generational families seen together it was truly heart warming. I think this environment is much better than a stuffy environment and great to see a community supportive of the locals. Close to Hwy 27 so in the mood for a large meal or just some home style cooking give it a try. Finally don't forget to pick up some local honey or goods.

They come by often to ask if you need another dish. Only thing I did not care for was nanner pudd'n was dish of soggy Vanilla wafers about a tablespoon pudding & could only find 2 slices of banana. Will not order that again. They do cornbread the right way NO sugar. That's how I grew up eating cornbread & I love it. My Dad is from Virginia he said if it has sugar it's corn cake not corn bread.

BBQ sauce wasn't even needed. Meatloaf sandwich: 3.5* Meaty slice but quite dry, it needed the sauce Sampler (because we wanted to try all the meats): 4* pulled pork - great flavor, goes well with the BBQ; beef sausage - casing had a good snap to it and deep flavor; Rib tips - our least favorite, they were tough/chewy. Four sides: 4.5* Smokey Mac n cheese - creamy and not overly smoked, really well done! Ranch baked beans: flavor on point and beans nicely cooked. Pasta salad: what a delicious surprise! A variety of ingredients, not boring at all! Okra - hot and crispy and a HUGE portion. Not sure how they stayed crispy on the drive home. They were a little greasy but that was the only negative. Plenty of parking and you can sit in your car with a buzzer while you wait. There is also picnic tables to eat outside if you wish. A young man and a lady handled our order and were friendly and efficient. We will be back!

We had different flavor wings but honestly "naked" was my favorite! You can't go wrong with the brisket sandwich or the Smokey dog! They have the best slaw it reminded me of grandma's house on Sunday!! The hush puppies "very delicious" and not dry like some places! Buddy's is a great go to choice when wanting tasty BBQ fast! They have great choices for family packs as well and I learned they also CATER!! So why not feed your staff, family, or next get together with a great choice of BBQ!!
