Chicken sandwich
Candace R.

When I tell yall I had the BEST chicken sandwich from here...im so serious! The bun is soft, the chicken is juicy and flavorful, and all the toppings that come in it pair together so well. Amazing chicken sandwich. I was able to come in and place my order immediately. Two of my friends ordered fish sandwiches and they loved them as well. The man at the register was really kind. I took off a start only because it was super hot inside the establishment. The dining area is pretty large and there's plenty of open space. It's just hot in there. The parking lot also fills up pretty quick and it's kinda small but there's street parking on the side.

After placing my order on DoorDash I waited about an hour for the order to arrive, per the expected wait time. I wanted to try a few things and save some for later. I ordered the red snapper with fries. The red snapper is slightly cornmeal battered, but barely. I saw it on some pieces of fish and even then it was only in one area or so. Thank goodness I really like fish because it was tolerable, but there really isn't any flavor to it. It was dry too. Same with the fries - it lacked salt and ketchup also wasn't included in the bag. Throughout eating I kept wondering why there wasn't any tartar sauce. The hot sauce added some flavor to the fish though, I will say that. Tartar sauce should always be included. The hush puppies are hush puppies. Good. It's also the only thing I finished. I wish they came with a sauce even if only tartar sauce. The macaroni and cheese isn't classic, but it was okay. I'd still consider it Mac n cheese , but I do prefer down south baked macaroni and cheese with those crispy corners of cheese where the macaroni is a little browned on top in certain areas. Candied yams. yum! I'm happy to have that for later. I was ready for that banana pudding I ordered, too! I received yellow chocolate cake. It was Duncan Hines good, but not what I ordered.

Oysters, Shrimp, Snapper & Hushpuppies

Was looking for a spot to grab some lunch & pulled up to Dixon's. There's quite a bit to choose from on the menu, seafood, chicken & bbq. The bbq smelled good but I didn't have a taste for it so I went w/the fried seafood. Oysters 4outta5 perfectly cooked Shrimp 3outta5 could of used a touch more breading Snapper 3outta5 good cook, no flavor Hushpuppies 5outta5! Crispy outside moist inside I can only imagine how much more delicious the food could be w/a lil mo seasoning. Service 5outta5 Ambiance 2outta5 (the area's a lil sketchy) I was satisfied & might patronize them again & try the bbq. We'll see...

Came to Dixons as a second choice it was ok the place is pretty run down in a sketchy part of the neighborhood !! But i grew up in a hood!!! lol so I didn't feel outta place but if you didn't you may not wanna come here,the food was ok the wings were crispy and cooked through, the catfish was crispy as well but could have used more seasoning the fries were the best thing to eat they had seasoned salt and were tasty the portions were ok seen a lot of people actually in this place, the wait wasn't too long the girl at the register was kind it wasn't a bad spot but have had better.

Grits, scrambled eggs, sausage patties

The food was fair. I did enjoy the fried chicken. The beans and rice wasn't that great seemed a little stale. The fried rib was OK. The breakfast was spot on. I enjoyed that. The service was fine just expect to wait about 20 to 25 minutes and establishment was clean and well kept. And parking was fine. It wasn't too busy or crazy.

food with a lot of bang for your buck but on the other side customer service sucks. Check your order inside is usually pretty clean.

After work Easter dinner. We finally dined in here…read more Really good BBQ spot. Glad we came here. Everything looked so yummy when it came. Good flavors from everything. My favorite was the mac & cheese and brussels sprouts. The meats were so tender! Although, I tried a piece of pork link, for some reason, I didn't like it. It seemed too grainy. The ambience was chill, and they have full bar. Nice and spacious. My only complaint is that I was trying to order & the phone rings & the host took the call. What I learned in customer service in my 20 years +, you attend to the customer in front of you first. Phone calls can wait. When she got off the phone, other workers came over and they started talking about what's next in their schedule. Still, I'm over here, waiting to order the rest of the stuff. That what the unprofessional part of things.. Glad we still came here to try. It still earned a star to come back!

BBQ is not cheap But you would expect a certain quality…read moreOrdered the two combo plate which is about $30 with tip The rib tips were mostly bone or dried out pieces.

I visited Horn Barbecue and I NEED management and ownership to read this carefully--because what I…read moreexperienced deserves to be recognized on a higher level. First of all, my order was TO-GO. And let me tell you... when I got home and opened that bag, I was honestly blown away. My food was packaged with so much care, precision, and pride--it was neat, organized, and handled like it actually mattered. That alone told me everything about the level of service in that building. Candalen--YOU DID THAT. The attention to detail on my plate did not go unnoticed. You treated my food like it was being served in-house, and that speaks volumes about your work ethic and pride in what you do. Aaron--listen... that peach lemon drop??? BABY. That was my first time trying one and it was EVERYTHING. Smooth, flavorful, perfectly balanced--you made that drink an experience all by itself. I will be back JUST for that. And let's talk about the vibe--the music, the energy, the atmosphere--it all came together in a way that made the entire visit feel GOOD. Not just food... a whole experience. But what really stands out is this: It has been a LONG time since I've experienced service this genuine, this intentional, and this excellent. Not rushed, not careless--EXCEPTIONAL. Management, if you are reading this--please understand--you have some powerful people on your team. Candalen and Aaron are the kind of employees that elevate a brand. They are the reason people come back. They are the reason I will be telling others. This wasn't just a good experience. This was the kind of experience that turns customers into loyal supporters. I will absolutely be back--and I will be bringing people with me. Until next time, WUHAPN NATION

I have been telling my friend about how satisfying and delicious the food at Horn BBQ is, but every…read moretime we came by the restaurant was closed. Finally, we were so excited to see it was open on a Saturday an we came in for lunch. To order you need to scan the QR code and pay plus tip before a single person spoke to us or offered us help. From the menu we saw they were out of beef ribs, smoked chicken, rib tips, no peach cobbler, no banana pudding and no kool aid. I come for their brisket and my friend loves ribs so we went ahead and ordered combo plates to share. Mine was the brisket with a side of collard greens, she had the pork ribs, a hotlink with a side of Mac-n-cheese, & cornbread. For drinks we had lemonade and an Arnold Palmer. I'm not sure what has happened over the last few months but the quality of the food, the service and the expectation to pay and tip up front were very disappointing. The greens, Mac cheese, brisket and ribs were cold. The hotlink wasn't BBQ'ed it was pan fried. Everything tasted like warmed up leftovers and we will not return. For 2 of us to eat it came to $100 and we were not satisfied. The dining room is an attractive space, it was completely empty. The staff was unclear about what we ordered, had to be told to bring our drinks, bartender is also working as server and apologized for his uncertainty. I suggest this restaurant hire and train more staff if they intend to keep their doors open.

It's the kind of place you almost miss if you're not looking for it, but once you find it, you'll keep coming back. The brisket, pulled pork, and spare ribs are consistently excellent. The meat is incredibly tender, it basically melts in your mouth, and that deep, smoky flavor really seeps all the way through, not just on the surface. The sauces come on the side, and they're free, so don't be shy about asking for extra. I actually asked if there was a limit once, and the cashier laughed and said something like, "Maybe six containers?" If I'm being picky, I'd probably skip the hot links next time. They're not bad, just nothing special compared to how strong everything else is, slightly smoky, but otherwise pretty standard. The collard greens are a standout side dish. They've got this nice acidity that cuts through the richness of the meat really well. There is a noticeable vinegar tang, though, so if that's not your thing, you might want to pass, but if you like that balance, they're great. Another big bonus, there's a park right outside the building near the exit by Cashew Creamery. It's perfect if you've got kids. There's this whale structure they can climb into (through the mouth or side), with a slide on top and climbing holds all over -- fins, back, tail, the whole thing. There are also surfboard-style balance boards on springs and plenty of open space and greenery to run around. And if you're making a little outing of it, it's only about a 10-minute walk to Bay Street, so you can easily pair your meal with a stroll, some shopping, or more food and drinks nearby.
