I had wonderful fried fish, crunchy and light; my hussband had an excellent cheeseburger. I would love to take a vat of the creamed spinach home!!!! They have discounts on certain days. We were there for senior Wednesdays. We are already planning our next meal there. It really is great. It's beautiful inside and the waitress was very nice. The chef came out, as well, to see how we enjoyed our meal. read more

Would definitely come again. The food and price were a 10/10! We ordered the flounder and salmon platter, as well as the clam chowder. Everything was phenomenal and clearly homemade. It was the BEST clam chowder we have ever had. To top it off the atmosphere was so nice and relaxing. the owner was so kind and friendly as well as our server. read more

Rating the food alone. Obviously with it being newly opened they have kinks to work out with the service but the BBQ is top notch. The owner came out and made suggestions that sold us on trying their platters. My goddaughter is super picky and he brought out the Mac and cheese to sample to help her decide and not waste her order. Great hospitality. I got the three meat sample platter and all three were amazing. The brisket was by far my favorite. No sauce, super moist and delicious. Already dreaming of the next time I get this brisket. TOP TIER. Will be back again All of the sides were great. I don't even like sweet potatoes and that sweet potato casserole was so good! Our picky eaters even approved!! Now... that carrot cake... STELLAR... keep that on regular rotation. Amazing. read more

Dixie's serves such good food. I have been talking about it since we went earlier this week. Mr. Bill, the chef and owner is so kind. He came to our table to talk with us and share a little of his story. I highly recommend Dixie's and will be going back soon. read more

First time, love the food, service, and music. It was a lovely place to spend my birthday. Will go back again soon!! read more

Amazing service! Great food! Shrimp was absolutely amazing great ambience I try the shrimp and mash potatoes

Nice sit down restaurant in historic Smyrna. The historic building has lots of ambiance as the dining is set up in the interior rooms. The menu has a lot to choose from - I had to try the Shrimp Po' Boy as that is one of my southern favorites. The shrimp were a nice size but the tails were left on so that made it a bit tricky to eat as a sandwich without a bit of deconstruction. The remoulade was very tasty and the fresh greens were nice. The roll was a longer type hotdog bun which I was hoping would be more of a French bread type roll. I also ordered an iced tea and being an aficionado of tea I would rate this one very highly. It's difficult to get a good iced tea at restaurants but this one was on point! Didn't have room for dessert but there appeared to be some tasty options I would like to try on a subsequent trip. Service was very friendly with a smile and the owner took the time to stop by and greet patrons. read more

Food is amazing and the service is very attentive! The owner came by the table to chat with us and was very sweet. Family run and it shows! Ps. Get the Carmel cheesecake! read more

My glazed meatloaf sandwich with gravy,was served spartan but truly excellent. My friend loved the gumbo and the fried green tomatoes were a treat. Lots of interesting menu choices. No beer or wine but the sodas and iced tea are huge. read more

My brisket sandwich tonight was phenomenal and unfortunately, I was so hungry. It didn't last as long as I wanted it too.

I just had the most delicious pulled pork sandwich, and sweet potato casserole I've ever had. The pulled pork was juicy, and full of flavor, no sauce needed. I'll definitely be going back. Annette read more

Very disappointed after such rave reviews. No cornbread? One dessert choice? 40 dollars total for a mediocre meal.

Good shrimp po' boy and soft shell crab sandwiches. The hush puppies were a little heavy but flavorful. read more

The food wasn't the best, greasy and hurt my stomach. The servers were yelling at each other but nice to customers.

The service was fast and friendly. I ordered the gumbo, and honestly..it tasted and looked like the Campbell's soup brand gumbo. Overcooked rice, weird processed chicken, little to no flavor. Even the color resembled the picture on the can. I like how they take tap for payments and their selection of drinks are unique. read more

I tried the brisket sandwich and the hushpuppies from the food truck they have in Wilmington on Market St every Wednseday. Unfortunately,I was quite dissapointed.. The brisket had the texture and consistency of a leather belt, and didnt really have any flavor to it. They also served it on a hot dog roll, which was not exactly ideal. trying to eat the sandwich was me trying to rip the brisket into pieces and eat it with bits of roll. There was no option to add BBQ sauce either, just plain white vinegar and liquid butter (im assuming its the spray butter substitute they use for the seafood.). The hushpuppies were ok. A bit on the small side but I had no issues regarding flavor or consistency. It tasted like fried bread; as it should. At $16, I would say pass on the brisket, you'd be better off eating a shoe. The only good things I can say are that the service was quick and the staff were friendly. read more

I had the brisket sandwich with Cole slaw. The sandwich was plentiful & tasty. The hush puppies were also very very tasty! Highly recommend. The folks running the food truck are super friendly. read more

Absolutely one of the best meals we have ever had. Dixies down home cooking catered our event, and they knocked it out of the park. The food was incredible the service was outstanding. Highly recommend !! read more

Get ready for a tasty pulled pork sandwich! I had it with coleslaw on the sandwich but would get that as a side next time as it made the bun quite soggy. Otherwise it was very good. read more

I can't believe I'm the first person to review! I first learned of Dixies Down Home Cooking in May when I went to the Baldcypress Bluegrass Festival, at the Roman Fisher Farm, in Frankford. I haven't stopped thinking about this food truck since I was foot stomping at the festival. I had the best cheese steak ever. Hands down the best cheese steak I've ever had. I consider myself a cheese steak connoisseur. Well, last night I found you Dixie at the Freeman Stage in Fenwick. Shut the front door....the FLOUNDER SANDWICH....oh my cod.....never frozen...flaky...fresh...Heaven in my mouth. I will attend events just to eat your food.. LOL read more
