The food is just purely fun and a joy to eat. The service is personal as of course this place has been here for decades, you rarely see someone not smiling. The ambiance is your classic small town little dinner, nothing fancy and that's what gives it its charm. If you're passing through Greenwood, SC, this is a staple restaurant and a must try. The value of the food is wonderful. read more

A local staple with great food. Still has the dining seating. Ordered a chili gcheese burger with fries. Food came out hot and fast. Burgers were seasoned well and the chili was good. Fries were crispy. Definitely recommend if you want a good burger accompanied by good service. read more

I always get the classic cheeseburger, lettuce, tomato. With fries. Fair price, delicious, and the food comes out very fast. I have only ever sat down to eat in, never to-go or order out. One visit they seemed very understaffed and it took the waitress about 20 minutes to even make contact with me and my wife. That has only happened one time. Once our order was in, the food was great, came out super quick. And I'll continue to go back. read more

Spent $16 for a Dixie burger half & half, a hot dog plain, and 2 teas. Onion rings were overcooked and so hard that you couldn't hardly eat them for fear of breaking teeth. Waitress was nice. read more

It's been over 8 years since I was last in town; stopping by The Dixie Drive In was a must. Nothing at all has changed over the years and that's perfect! Great local environment, the popular Dixie Cheese plate is always the GO TO. Having a seat inside to eat or taking to-go, quick ordering and delivery of food even when they're busy. Highly recommend and supporting this local business is a must read more

The Dixie Drive In - Dixie Cheese with fries, lettuce, tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mayonnaise - Burgers Near Me - Greenwood, South Carolina

There may be a bit of nostalgia sprinkled in for good measure, but a Dixie cheese half and half (that's half fries and half onion rings for the uninitiated) is hands down one of the best burgers I've ever had. It's your standard burger with all the trimmings, but here atmosphere is everything. Growing up in Greenwood and later attending college at Lander, I enjoyed way too many burgers here over my 20 years in the area. I've since moved far away, but I was excited to give my own son a chance to experience this place when we were in town for a few days. The restaurant is unchanged, like it is frozen in time. Which is amazing in a time when everything has to be "updated" to be more modern. read more

The Dixie Drive In - Takeout counter - Burgers Near Me - Greenwood, South Carolina

Back in Greenwood to pulled into a place that looked right out of the old sitcom tv shows to see a large 1950's sign saying Dixie drive in love it . Went inside to see what I thought and hoped to see a great piece of history. A horse shoe shaped dining counter and no tables just one large eating counter that you walk up to and feel like you're in a back to the future looking soda shop . Well I was approached with a smile and given a menu to see and I chose a grilled chicken sandwich with fries and coleslaw. Not a bit under cooked just right . I was impressed with the unique flavor of the barbecue sauce I received on the side all in all was a good meal but needed to add a little black pepper to the coleslaw but that's just me. Was a good visit I will return. read more

We really wanted to love this spot as we adore retro diners but unfortunately it let us down. The first sign of trouble was, despite the signs advising that masks were a must 3/4 of the patrons were maskless. Like the good southerners they were there was much hugging and hand shaking going on. Even the servers, although masked would remove them when they talked! There is a dining area but we were wanting take-out. It didn't take long to prepare but customers were packed in like sardines. The food was okay. The burgers were good but not worth getting Covid for. The onion rings looked beautiful but gave us what my daughter referred to as "Capt Crunch mouth". Although we ordered the "specials" we were charged full price. That was irritating but not worth wading through the mob to fix. It's advertised as "The Place Locals Go". We decided to leave them to it. read more

Good burger and fries. Nicely priced and a place for locals. Don't pass it up if you can help it.

I love the dixie drive in, but my problem is with the concession stand and the bathrooms. We got there at 8:30pm settled in and went to the concession stand to get hot dogs and hamburgers, begore the movie even started they was out of hot dogs and they only had 1 hamburger, not very happy about that since they just opened and they close before the intermission is even over. The bathrooms need a remodeling because they are so small and some have no doors and some have curtains and they are very small not good for people with disabilities at all. I had a panic attack last time. because they are so small. The people that wait on you when you pay to get in are always nice and very helpful. I still love them and I would go again I will take my own food and use the bathroom before I go. read more

My favorite place to go when I go back to my hometown. I always get the Deluxe Minced BBQ plate. Delicious. Service is quick and efficient. read more

By far the best chili cheeseburger I've eaten. Fries were crispy and the staff were extremely nice. Oh and almost forgot, the sweet tea was absolutely amazing. read more

I've been here twice and the food is delicious, the waitresses are amazing, and the people are super friendly. They have burgers, gyros, hotdogs, and so much more. I can't wait to try everything on their menu. read more

Omgoodness!! This was a wonder to be included in! They opened at 11:30 and at 11:15 people ( including us) were lined up at the door !! The door opened and in we went. This is an old fashioned diner ,stools for sitting swiveled and everything! There are to u shaped counters that everyone sits around with 1 waitress taking care of that U shape area ...there are 18 people sitting around the counter. The waitress took orders for all 18 people , no writing this down!! I was shocked!! Not one order was wrong !! When you were ready to pay, she also remembered what you ordered!! How does she do this ??? Good food too!! Cant wait to go back ! read more

The Dixie Drive In sure knows how to hit the spot! Greenwood natives and Lander students can all agree that Dixie has the best burgers by far. The restaurant can get pretty busy, but the service is so fast that you never have to wait long. They also have a separate entrance for takeout if you don't want to wait for a table. If you find yourself passing through Greenwood, make sure you stop in to see what all the hype is about. You won't be disappointed!! read more

I love this place. It's a classic burger joint. Don't stress over sitting next to people just relish the whole experience. The waitresses have awesome memories and I've never gotten a wrong order. Try the onion rings. They have really good iced tea and their ice is the good kind. read more

How could someone give the world famous Dixie less than 5 stars. The food was as good as I remembered. I killed many a burger here 30 years ago when I attended Lander College. You can't miss out on a Dixie Cheese Half and Half. The people seem older but just as nice. Enjoy ... I did! read more

The Dixie Drive In - Burgers Near Me - Greenwood, South Carolina

Local place right out of Mayberry! Cheap burgers and fries and other things. You can tell this is a place where the locals go on a regular basis. I swear it seemed like everybody knew everybody else. Counter style seating added to the charm. You never know who you might sit next to. On one of my visits, the owner was sitting at one of those stools eating his lunch. Very simple fare but tasty and a neat experience to boot. read more

A step up from fast food. Inexpensive and basic meals. Friendly staff and good service. The place is not fancy but is clean. Your glass will never be empty there! read more

We were taking the back roads for fun and decided to stop at this place. Definitely the right choice. This is a classic burger joint. So if you're worried about your cholesterol oh well. The staff was great and super friendly. The other guest we're welcoming. The food was made from scratch and awesome. We will be adding this diner to our go to list whenever we come through town. Thanks to all of y'all there. read more

Best hamburger ever! I recommend this restaurant. Dixie Cheese 1 is the best. We brought 4 burgers all the way back to Atlanta.

This place is esteemed in my family as the spot when you had maybe too much fun the night before. All it takes is a Dixie cheese half and half to get you right again! read more

The price is very reasonable for the hamburger plate. The burger and the fries are very bland. I always ask for extra ketchup to enhance the taste. I really appreciate whenever I call in an order it is ready upon arrival. The service at the takeout counter could use some improvement. Sadly exceptional customer service is a lost art. read more

The place is an icon around here, and the food is fine. The service is fast, a bit hectic. There's this really big u-shaped dining bar that takes you back to the 50s. It's a place to go for a fun experience, but there are better burgers to be had elsewhere. Their current sign reads "friends don't let friends eat at restaurant chains"... I'm not sure I'd go there. The burgers aren't cooked to order, and the fries and onion rings here are obviously frozen, so to insinuate their food is somehow better than chains is a claim they just can't make. The Dixie Drive In should probably just keep its head down, keep cranking out mediocre food and be happy Greenwood natives love nostalgia. read more

It's alright,not as great as a lot of people make it to be. 6 pm closing time is kinda of early for a "popular " restaurant

This is my favorite dive in Greenwood. I grew up with it. When I moved away for 10 years, it was always a stop when I came back. I just moved back and was happy to find that nothing much has changed. I think that's a good thing in a world of ever-updating menus. Sometimes you just gotta stick with what works. To me, the good is great, but I wonder how much of what I'm tasting is nostalgia. Either way, their homemade cherry coke is great, and I usually stick with the Dixie Cheese half-and-half. Sometimes I get that shrimp plate on Saturday night. Even the staff hasn't changed very much. That must mean they treat them pretty well. If you're in town, treat yourself to this old world treasure. read more

Best diner in town. Great atmosphere. Love the Dixie cheese half and half. Also great to go food for the area. read more

I wanted to visit this place again before I submitted a review. As of today I have tried their hot dogs in plain, topped with slaw, topped with chili, cheeseburger, corn dog and crinkle cut fries. Oh, and sweet tea! I get the appeal for locals looking for a quick bite at a local staple. The food is decent and folks seem pretty nice. The food quality is consistent with similar establishments, and I'm reluctant to be too critical of an establishment that isn't trying to churn out or compete with gourmet burgers, dogs and steaks. For a "drive-in" this place holds it down and remains on my "should visit" list. Just set your expectations accordingly. read more

I grew up eating a Dixie Cheese, half and half, and a cherry sprite most weekends. This place is a part of Greenwood and has been here since the 50's. I occasionally get an overwhelming craving to eat here. It's quick, cheap, fast food. It's not the best burger in town but it is a taste that reminds me most of home and of growing up. read more

Loved the Dixie since my days attending Lander U. Favorite is the Dixie cheese half and half (cheeseburger served with half onion rings and half french fries ) and a tea half sweet/unsweetened. read more

If you have never been to Greenwood and are looking for some quick fast food check this place out. I recommend a Dixie Cheese 1/2 and 1/2 and a cherry sprite. (Half Fries and Half Onion Rings). I have been eating at this place owned by the McCravy's since I was an embryo. Good food. Service is quick and it has the ambiance of a 1950s burger joint. Order out by the door on the left or go in and sit on stools. There are no tables here you eat around a bar. read more

The Dixie Drive In - Burgers Near Me - Greenwood, South Carolina

One of the greatest spots to eat in Greenwood. Dixie cheese half and half with a cherry coke is the way to go. Long live the Dixie!

Wow, where to start. If you talk to the older people or the deep south natives of Greenwood you would think this was heaven on earth. It is not. It has fries that you can buy from any grocery store. The burgers are small and bland. Everything tastes like they put frying oil in it. The price is an insult for the quality and quantity of food you receive. I guess it gets hyped so much due to the fact the store looks like it is as old as the town and hasn't updated anything about its self since. Save your money drive the extra minutes to Cook Out. You'll get the same exact stuff, done much better for half the price. read more

I don't understand why everyone loves the dixie burger so much. It's not that great. It tastes like every other redneck burger place in Greenwood, SC. The bread of the burgers tastes like it was bought in bulk through bi-lo or something, the meat is about average, and the fries are that same crinkle cut crap you see at every burger joint here. read more

Locals rave about this place. I married a girl who attended Lander and she loves this place. For me, it's just like 100 other diners I've been to...greasy burgers, fries, and onion rings. This is another example of over hyping a restaurant because it's been there for a long time. I don't get the fuss! read more

Food is good and it's great they have been there forever. However, when I was finishing my cup of water I looked through the ice and there was a dead roach at the bottom. I understand that things happen but the waitress acted like it was no big deal and barely apologized. She took the cup to the manager (owner?) and she shrugged it off and didn't even bother to come over and say anything. I assume it must happen often. read more

This place is an institutional. Classic burger place that offers much more. I always get the cheese burger - half and half ( fries and opinion rings) which is great. This is a must stop and eat. read more

I know that this is an icon in Greenwood, however that is pretty much the only reason I have found to go there. The place is always busy and crowded so it may be that mine was just a not so great experience. The burgers and fried chicken seemed to be the most popular entrees. We had the turkey sandwich, which was just plain deli meat. We also had onion rings, which were not bad, but nothing to write home about. The apple turnover seemed store bought and then reheated. The service friendly, but servers are busy and the place is hectic. read more
