Dixie Chicken & Ribs

I'm now a believer. Our friend took us here because this is one of his favorite places. The fried chicken was cooked to order anx was delicious. If you're looking for over seasoned, salty or burn your lips off fried chicken then this isn't the place for you. But if you're wanting some tasty crispy chicken then get off you roost and fly over here. The ribs...well let's just say the meat was literally falling off the bones. But even if it wasn't, the flavor would have you gnawing that bone! Man that was some good ribs!

I got the fried chicken meal. The chicken was okay. Some pieces of chicken had more flavor than others. The sweet potatoes were not my favorite but the onion rings was very good. The coating was well seasoned.

I knew it would be good when there was 2 NOPD patrol cars out front. Stumbled on Dixie completely by accident. Tucked in a neighborhood just off Canal Blvd, the restaurant isn’t big, but their food was exceptional. It is a small place, not too many tables and there was one wait staff. She never stood still and flew around that place like her hair was on fire, refilling drinks and making sure we were okay. I set my straw wrapper down, next thing I knew it was gone. We had chicken, ribs and onion ring appetizer. In our quest to eat fried chicken in every state, this place was great. Was a little worried for my wife about eating fried chicken in Louisiana (too spicy), but it was seasoned just right. Ribs fell off the bone, slaw and beans were good too. Glad we stopped. Memorable experience.

Wow, so I live in the West end area of New Orleans and I had multiple people tell me to check out Dixie since I had never been. I decided the best plan is to get the ribs/chicken combo to really experience it. I made it through most of the ribs and saved the chicken since that always reheats well. Absolutely phenomenal, the beans were great too, need to go back on a Monday and try the red beans.

The chicken was crispy but had 0 seasoning, the BBQ Ribs was most definitely wasn't BBQ. That's baked with BBQ sauce. The BBQ Beans was a big disrespect to my mouth. I wont be returning but the waitress. was sweet..
