    Pulled Pork Plate with 2 Sides and cornbread
    Carlie M.

    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

    A sample of meat, ribs, great salad, corn bread, rich Mac and cheese.

    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.

    Horrible ribs

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Brunswick Stew & BBQ & fries

    Service is great. Brunswick stew awesome. Best fries ever. Cornbread is the best.

    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

    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.

    Brisket plate
    Jaimie M.

    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.

I'm not driving 45 minutes for a sandwich that could have just been solved with a simple credit back, but sadly, this management is not capable of doing such a simple task. Very poor service and will not patron this establishment going forward. Shameful service.

In fact, the manager tied the tie that went with my dress for me because I didn't know how to do it. He also ended our night with a lovely champagne toast which was the perfect touch for my birthday. Devon was also an amazing waiter. I appreciated his attention to detail and promptness throughout the whole service. Food: All of the women at the table did the prix fixe menu which was an amazing deal that they offer I believe on Fridays and Saturdays. For the 4 courses you get, it is well worth the price and honestly a great deal for a date night if you have someone you want to impress :) Everything was phenomenal. The crab cake was full of meaty crab, the lobster bisque was velvety and creamy, the ginger duck steak was cooked perfectly and though I can't remember the dessert I got, likely because I was stuffed from the other courses, I'm sure it was delicious too. The menu was plentiful with great choices and it's honestly a whole lot of food! Drinks: This is the only thing I'd say wasn't my favorite. The drink I got was just okay to me, I likely could've done without it.

    I just had a great meal here. I had the mortadella sandwich. I was apprehensive because a few of…read morethe reviews mentioned a small amount of meat on the sandwich. I can tell you they were wrong. The sandwich contained a great portion of meat. You can see from my photos that it was a substantial portion of meat. The meat itself was tender as can be and was good Italian mortadella that almost melts in your mouth. It also had excellent pesto sauce on the sandwich and some of the best cheese around. I just got back from 2 months in Italy and this sandwich was as good as anything I had there. While I was there I had to try one of everything so for pastry I tried a sfogliata which is a multi layered pastry filled with a vanilla custard. This was either brought in directly from Italy or made by an Italian chef. It tasted just like it should. Then I tried the gelato. I had the stracciatella which was very good. Just two notes here though 1) the gelato temp is too cold. You need to let it warm a little before you eat it to get the full flavor 2) the pistacchio gelato served is bright green. This is not a sign of good pistacchio. Good pistacchio should be more of a khaki brownish green color Then I tried the espresso. It tasted great It was very nice inside. Simple setup looking like a gelateria. The service was friendly , fast , and efficient. The best that can be asked for. The highlight of the visit was actually running into Mr. Gio DiPalma that owns the establishment and other restaurants around town. He sat at a table and watched operations.

Needless to say, with the only ingredients being fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, prosciutto, and arugula, not sure where the fishy taste came from. The shop is average looking. I did not eat the gelato, but it looked very good. Service was efficient, but not overly friendly or personable. Person at the counter was more of an order taker, but there were no social greetings exchanged. The bread was so good that I would definitely go back if I had a craving for an Italian sandwich.

I definitely recommend giving it a try if you're in the mood for cuban food and good service. Will have to try the coffee next time.
