Dixie's BBQ - Vancouver

My partner is a fan of a good barbecue. We have been to a few all around the Lower Mainland, so today we were giving “Dixie’s” on Hastings a try. They are known for their Texas style barbecue and show their allegiance through the restaurant’s decor. It has a well themed rugged look with a worn wood pallet ceiling, a wagon wheel chandelier, and red brick and sheet metal walls.

Arrived on a Friday night. It was busy but we were seated quickly. Servers are friendly and service was quick. The portions are huge (we had the buttermilk fried chicken and pulled pork with 2 sides, corn bred and beans). The chicken was delicious, thick with buttermilk crispy coating and the chicken was. boneless. Pulled pork was flavourful without BBQ sauce hiding the taste. So good with the country gravy too. I would recommend Dixie's. Their special of the day was a sandwich and a beer for $15. That is a great deal.<br/

I went with bourbon and would highly suggest it. It was refreshing and sweetened just the right amount. Cornbread and Serrano Cheese Spinach. I didn’t care for the corn bread because I found it to be too dry and hard. I prefer a more crumbly, buttery corn bread. I rarely rave about vegetable dishes, but the Serrano cheese spinach was delicious. I loved the creamy rich flavour and the fact that it had a bit of spice to it. I would highly recommend getting this as a side.

Came here today for first time. The BBQ was beyond good and probably the best I've had in Vancouver ! The sides are really good for three bucks Each. The sweet tea is homemade and so yummy will be back for sure ! A+

Located on East Hastings in an area some might call unsavoury but I would describe more as terrifying, word on the street is that Dixie’s serves their meat from a trough. This is a challenge if I ever heard one and no true FEF is going to turn their back on what is clearly a greater calling.<br/ <br/ Fate must have been playing a cruel joke on us this night though because guess which group strolled in fifteen minutes after the BBQ shut down at 10. Zero troughs in sight, we had our pick of the late night menu.
