Dixie Barbecue

We were in the area and this place was packed so we decided to stop by for lunch. This is a no frills place with great food and friendly service. We each got the large bbq basket and the pork is sliced and there is a great sauce you can put on the meat. The sauce is light, slightly sweet, and tangy. We got the fries which were fresh and crunchy and the onion rings tasted homemade. We also got a large bowl of chili and the portion was huge and it hit the spot.

Great meat. It's sliced pork. Sauce is very sweet. meat is great. Fries were super crispy! And everything hot! Right at 10 bucks for a large bbq basket. Would come back.

Stopped in for the first time while traveling through town at lunchtime , they were very busy but took my order right away , I was very surprised on how fast my food came out considering how busy they were ! I had the bbq sandwich and fries , both were outstanding ! I am a bbq connoisseur but have never had it sliced , it was amazing and their sauce is just as amazing, the fries were so delicious cooked and seasoned perfectly, the best I have had in a long time , if you find yourself in southern Illinois do yourself a favor and make the trip to Dixie bbq in Jonesboro, I heard their cheeseburgers are amazing as well , can’t wait to get back there .

I just love this place! I can remember coming here with my grandparents when I was a little kid. The place is still the same. Good food. Great staff. We always see someone we know. I could drink the bbq sauce. I put it on every bite of bbq and dip my fries in it. My husband loves the fish sandwich. This is the last of the historic mom and pop places in Union county.

Really friendly staff food is always fresh great small town bbq restaurant 🙂
