Dixie Pig Bar-B-Q

Wow ! Amazing food overall! Some of the best hushpuppies and baked beans! Super chill 😎 small town vibes. Suzy was an amazing hostess and since it was my first time here she pointed out a couple of specials and I went with the rib-tip that comes with 1 side, a drink, and a piece of cornbread! Other food featured in pics: Hushpuppies ( 5 star) Brisket (5 star) Mac and cheese (5 star)

This place is just simply amazing. Literally the best barbecue you’re going to get anywhere in South Florida or probably the whole state if you’ve had North Carolina barbecue before then you know what good pulled pork and rib ribs and sides is I wanted to try everything so I ordered an array of things probably 3/4 of what’s on the menu and let me tell you something each dish was better than the next all the sides just amazing with flavor. Great customer service as well. Take a ride by and check it out. Trust me. I’m pretty sure you will agree. If not then you just don’t really know what good barbecue is !!!!

One of the best places I've had BBQ around here. Service is great. Sitting area is nice. Food is always great, and I usually have left overs. They have chopped brisket during the week and sliced on the weekend. Burnt ends are a favorite as well, and the ribs fall off the bone. 🤤 I forgot to take pics of our food, but I got one of the ribs.

North Carolina BBQ with a Personal Touch Owned by Amber, who greets every guest with warmth and enthusiasm, the restaurant combines Southern hospitality with mouthwatering flavors. The ribs and brisket were perfectly smoked—tender, juicy, and seasoned to perfection. The rib tips were a standout, boasting rich flavor and a satisfying texture that left me wanting more. On the side, the greens were a true delight—well-cooked, flavorful, and just the right balance of savory and tangy. The fried okra was the secret weapon. 🔥 Amber’s personal touch and willingness to share the family’s barbecue legacy added an extra layer of charm to the dining experience. If you’re looking for authentic, soul-satisfying barbecue in a friendly and inviting atmosphere, this is the place to go.

My first time here with a friend, for a quick brunch in what a pleasant surprise, the host at the window greeted us and took our order the drinks were readily available and the food came out promptly and was absolutely delicious, I've already recommended this place to a few neighbors. Try to enjoy it

Spare ribs, mash potatoes with gravy, black eyed peas, corn bread with large sweet tea. Food was dang good. Definitely stop and getbyou some. Your missing out if you go somewhere else.

Found a spot while looking for good mash potatoes, the food and customer service is amazing. I ordered BBQ chicken, fried okra, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, and black eye peas everything was delicious!!!

I've always heard that Carolina style was more vinegary than Texas or KC style, but the time I had it in North Carolina didn't really meet that expectation. The Dixie Pig definitely delivered on the flavor that I've always heard about and lives up to their advertisement of Carolina BBQ. The sauces were all incredible (the hot and the mustard were my two favorites), and the flavors of everything were great. The beans were my absolute favorite I've ever had from a BBQ restaurant. So many places get them wrong, but the Dixie Pig knows what they're doing. Not too sweet and a little smokey. The slaw was a unique flavor unlike what I'm used to, but I liked it. One of my favorite aspects was that they offer hamburger buns to eat your pulled pork on (that's how we used to eat it in Kentucky, but every other BBQ joint I've tried across America tends to omit that very important detail). My wife got ribs and a 1/4 chicken and she was also really impressed and talking about coming back before we had even left. Other details worth mentioning: the fried okra, corn bread, and hush puppies were great, and the mac and cheese was okay.

Decent place overall 3.5 star The BBQ sandwiches were 3 star, lacking in taste Collards 5 star, best I ever tasted Service very good, 4 star Ambiance 4 star plus, ultra basic Yessir

We've been coming to this place forever. It's changed hands down through a family generation or so, but the basics have remained the same. It's still a no-frills throwback to those southern barbecue shacks that used to populate the back roads. And you can smell the smoke of the cooking. They have updated the place a bit with some paint and tables that are covered, but the barbecue is still some of the best in the area. It's located in an industrial area and that makes up a lot of their clientele from surrounding businesses. The separate building is right next to the street. They do a lot of take out, but we chose to sit at one of their concrete benched tables in the open air, but under the covered patio. You get to see and hear the street traffic. There is no "inside" seating. You order at the counter window and pay, and they call your name to pick up your food. The menu is posted on the wall and there's usually a daily special on one of the small blackboards. I got their quarter chicken lunch special and requested white meat. It came with cornbread and a choice of one side. The combo breast wing was cooked through and through and slathered with sauce. At first, I didn't think it would be big enough to satisfy me, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was delicious. For my side, I got their baked beans. Unlike some, these were very flavorful and a good combo with the chicken. The corn bread is slightly sweet but more like the plainer southern style than the cake like one that I usually prefer. It still was a more than acceptable side. There are different sauces in containers on the tables --- either sweet or hot. I didn't need to add any to my food, but that's a personal choice. My husband got their rib tips special. He chose collard greens for his side. He said they were very good. His special also came with corn bread. The rib tips were tender and meaty, although one piece was a little too fatty for me. He added a bit of their sweet BBQ sauce to the meat. I think I might get this special, however, next time. For dessert, he got their peach cobbler. He said it was good, although they use canned peaches. He'd wanted banana pudding, but they were out of it. I have a vague memory that one of the older women (long passed) used to make the pudding every now and then. You had to be there just at the right time before they'd sell out. I'm glad we came back to have lunch here. It's been a while since we were in this area of town, and now it won't be such a long time between visits.

This is the second time I dined / ordered from The Dixie Pig. This BBQ restaurant is literally a gem. I'm not always over the moon about bbq food however, this is the only place I would order from if I want authentic bbq, I'm a sucker for family owned restaurants and this restaurant is one of them. The moment you arrive you can't help but to notice the smell of the food and the decor. The service is amazing the family is very nice and helpful. The menu has a variety of bbq food and sides to go with it. Bring your heartiest appetite because they serve a good portion of food here.

If you want legit Carolina bbq, this is the ONLY place to go. I come from a very Southern, Eastern North Carolina family and our bbq recipe is coveted - only passed down to blood relatives. Dixie Pig is the only thing that comes close to that recipe and I cry every time I eat it. The meat is tender, juicy and the sauces have that unique Carolina vinegar twang. Their sweet tea tastes like home and is actually strong, unlike other South Florida restaurants. If you can fit it in your belly, snatch some fried okra and hush puppies. The restaurants itself is a little outdoor seated area (under a roof) by the side of Dixie. Definitely not fancy, but the quality makes it top tier.

I have a rule not to expect much from a BBQ restaurant in any state not named Texas or North Carolina. Dixie Pig is a happy, almost joyous exception to that rule. The founder was from Wilmington NC and the pork BBQ is full blow eastern NC bbq. In any city on the eastern half of NC, it would be a local favorite. You might not expect much from the outside. You order at a walk up window and either get it to go or eat on the patio and they'll bring it to your table. Service was really good even through the environment is humble (hint, most great barbecue restaurants are). I didn't say it directly so let met correct that that now; the food is delicious. The BBQ was lightly seasoned and there's more sauce, SC mustard sauce if you must, and a sweeter thick sauce available, so it isn't just one style. The hushpuppies were fresh, round and sweet with light onion. It was so good that I can even forgive them serving Coke and not Pepsi (the taste born in the Carolinas). Highly recommended

Their meats are great, as are sides. Don't love their fish and chips ( too oily tasting) The rest of my family is enamored.

We love coming here for ribs and fried okra. The sides are all good. The brisket is cooked well too. We have not tried the chicken but I'm sure it's great. I even get their bbq meat and use it to make a kick butt chili. Reasonable price for lots of food. They have three homemade sauces - traditional bbq, mustard and vinegar. I mix them together. I even put the sauce in the black eyed peas...so good. On Dixie highway which is busy but there's seats under cover for when it rains.

No need to wax additionally on their service, friendliness or food. Today it's just a tip if you will. If you order a NC pulled pork sandwich, you better top it with the NC cole slaw and some additional NC vinegar bbq sauce...not doing so is wasted trip. I did try one of their daily specials, Brisket Tacos. They're meant to be kept street style with cilantro and diced onion, but definitely add the thin sauce that comes on the plate. The tacos were a pleasant surprise. We were quite happy with Peach Cobbler for dessert as well. I guess this is three tips instead of just the first one. 2nd, don't necessarily shy away from daily specials here...yes, in a lot of restaurants the daily specials are a way to move food products that are on their way out of freshness. 3rd, save room for the cobbler or just stuff yourself.

This was my first time here but I pass by a lot, this barbecue was definitely the BEST I have ever had. The service was amazing they were so nice at explaining the menu to us. It was outside seating with fans and not too crowded I loved everything about this place.

We stopped for late lunch with a visiting friend today after a year's absence. The food was better, the place was cleaner and the service was as great as ever. The St. Louis ribs were meaty and perfectly smoked. We ordered a rack to go after tasting our first ribs. Sides included potato salad, black eyed peas, onion rings hush puppies and cornbread. Everything was well seasoned and devoured. We won't wait so long to return again.

I've been going here for over 7 years! If you're craving awesome BBQ that won't empty your wallet, check out Dixie Pig BBQ. This family-owned spot has it all - amazing food, great prices, and a laid-back picnic vibe that makes it perfect for a casual meal. The BBQ here is top-notch. Every bite is packed with flavor, and you can tell the folks behind the grill know their stuff. Plus, the prices are super reasonable, so you can enjoy a fantastic meal without spending a fortune. One of the best things about Dixie Pig BBQ is that it's locally owned and operated. You'll feel right at home with the friendly staff and the welcoming atmosphere. It's like having a BBQ in your own backyard but with even better food. So, if you're in the mood for some delicious BBQ in a chill outdoor setting, Dixie Pig BBQ is the place to go. Bring your friends, dig in, and enjoy!

Really solid local choice for BBQ Pulled pork: 5/5 (so good!!) Rib tips: 4/5 (my boyfriend loved them and said they were his favorite item here, but these aren't at the top of the list for me) Cornbread: 5/5 Mac n cheese: 3.5/5 (good, but a bit "different" tasting- like a lot of pepper and Mayo?? Can't quite put my finger on it) Coleslaw: 3/5 (flavor is great, but it was served a bit soupy....) Fries: 4/5 When originally ordering I had also asked if I could swap out the 4 hush puppies that came with my Pulled Pork platter for 1 slice of cornbread, and figured it would be ok since the hush puppies are priced higher than the cornbread on their menu anyway, but was told no, I could not, and would have to order cornbread on the side for an additional charge. Not a big deal, just thought it to be a bit odd that I couldn't sub for a lower priced item. Overall I'm satisfied with this spot! PS: they have a great little outdoor seating area

I walked up to the outdoor window and was greeted right away & asked what she could get for me I needed a few and asked a few questions that she answered very politely I ordered half a chicken with bbq sauce and a side of coleslaw with a side of Mac and cheese and cornbread with a root beer very most chicken very saucy and hot the Mac was very cheesy and the coleslaw was good not kfcs but good root beer was a great size she kept checking on me which I appreciated will be back !

They have great bbq. It is like a family feel. I love their location also they have great service

Good bbq spot in the oakland park area. It is an indoor/outdoor seating so be prepared for the heat. The prices are reasonable. I ordered the pulled chicken and it was good. Their bbq sauce is good just wish they had a spicy sweet sauce. Def enough food to share.

Amazing ribs!! We ate it all! Great place to go with your friends! And friendly prices!

Great little place, great food, great ambiance, low key place ! best Bar -BQ in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

Great NC style barbecue. Sides aren't that great, though. Mac and cheese has a weird flavor...not classic southern style. French fries (steak fries) have a soggy texture. Still worth a visit.

ONLY OUTSIDE SEATING on Covered Patio. First time trying a new BBQ place, I always order Ribs, Brisket & Pulled Pork. NO SAUCE. I want to try the quality of their meat. In on a Thursday at 4:45 for early dinner. Very windy to have to sit outside. Ordered at window: Delivered to table. 4 rib bones, pulled pork, brisket and 2 sides. $24.99 First time receiving shredded brisket instead of sliced. They use St. Louis style ribs. Ribs were over cooked, over barked (bitter) & mushy. Mac & Cheese. Meh.. Potato Salad. Meh.. Order of onion rings. $3.95 Really Good. Iced sweet tea. $2.25 Nice People but toooo far from home to go back..

Stopped in on whim last nite. Very pleasantly surprised. What a great hidden gem! The owner warmly greeted me upon arrival and helped me navigate her menu. St Louis ribs were succulent with a great consistency. Steak fries were crisp and golden brown. Tasty mac-n-cheese. Everything seemed homemade. Highly recommend

So happily surprised. Fellow Southerners took our order and I was delighted that they had real sweet tea. The food reminded me of home in SC. Brought back all the feels. I got the pulled pork platter and it really was like home. A lot of food for me. Will definitely be back.

I love love love this place. I am saddened to read an individual being so critical of a small business. Especially a business that is owned/operated by the kindest sweetest people in this business. I eat here regularly and find the prices normal for the fare. I have eaten at all the local BBQ restaurants and can say that the Dixie Pig has the best value around. All BBQ is cooked consistently. The ribs are amazing. The pulled pork and pulled chicken are delicious. I love the okra here better than any of the competitors. The Homemade Banana Pudding is amazing and they also have homemade cobblers. Always a great experience and excellent ambiance. Oh and I almost forgot... Order the Brisket Tacos. They are fire... Please remember. This is a walk up window. They offer outside seating for convenience. I usually order Togo and eat in my home. Occasionally I eat there. When I do they always deliver the food and check on me as if I ordered tableside.

Ribs were excellent as are the Slider Sampler. Saturdays are great for Beef Brisket too! Service was very courteous and timely.

I have passed this place 1000s of times and have always wanted to stop, and today was the day! Chose there pulled pork platter that comes with 2 sides and hush puppies for 9.99 (cant beat that). Pulled pork was great, mac and cheese had some spicy flavoring in it that was awesome, and steak fries were perfect. Food came out quickly and I was even asked if I wanted a refill to go. I will be back.

First time I went for lunch and the staff was patient and friendly. The food was fresh and hott, the place was packed and the ambiance was great. The orders were coming out fast. I ordered the second time over the phone and there was no difference. The staff was friendly and kept a conversation while looking you in the eyes. A variety of food to choose from,Such a great place to eat at!!!!!!

Always great NC bbq. Pork, brisket are authentic. Great sides and sauces. Been going here for decades. Recommend!

Cool vibe. Was wanting something that reminded me of food back home on the gulf coast. This hit the spot. Staff was very nice.

The food was AMAZING. Great deals they have during week. Half a rack of ribs, corn bread, and 2 sides with a water for under $20!!! Service was amazing, constantly checked to see if I needed more water or wet napkins. Would definitely recommend!

A nice place with out door dining for BBQ. They have a large menu with daily specials. Everything was enjoyable. Staff was friendly and helpful. The food came out fast. Prices are reasonable. Looking forward to my next visit.

Disgusting food, indifferent service in a hole in the wall that hasn't been updated in a long time. Miracle whip Cole slaw?

Originally the City of Oakland park downtown centered around the railroad along Floranada Road ( Federal to Dixie hwy). So it makes sense Moms diner , collier true value hardware , Smittys butcher shop , Dixie BBQ and other businesses centered around the original downtown area as well. Dixie Pig is pretty awesome and an historical icon of what BBQ means to the locals of Oakland Park. They have been serving the same delicious Food forever and a day. Look at the pictures on the walls. When you are enjoying your food on the picnic tables out front thinking of how it must've been like to see locals passing by. ( Waving like Mayberry ) Farms of green beans west of Dixie for as far as you can see. I take in some food when ever I can . Love it ... They moved downtown Oakland Park to where you see it now near 38 because devastating hurricane that claim many many lives way back when , shortly thereafter the city regrouped and moved downtown to 38th near the new city hall. Very soon progress is going to move city hall again. So change happens when change happens. People is what makes the difference and people make food. Dixie Pig may not look like much yo people as they drive by .. but it's history it's people it's food - all in one. Delicious ! I hear people ask all the time about the history of Oakland park . It's here if you look and ask questions.. food is the icon of history. Dixie Pig can tell ya So whose up for BBQ. Yum

Andrea ,Naitth , sherry amazing team with a smile that enjoy an welcome you here an that brings the southern comfort of barbecue pulled pork sandwich to the highest level 10 I stop by getting my tires fixed next-door at this place called the dinosaur tire an Amazing shop to as well. Best prices in town. Also waiting for my trucks breaks get serviced. I came here with my puppy Gucci, we're having a little snack in the shade and it's so beautiful out on ther patio enjoy everyone signing off Gio From Chicago stuffed pizza co.

Usually a great place to grab and go. But, the 1/4 chicken was a leg and, what? My date barely got 4 bites out of it. I got chopped brisket sandwich. $ 14.41 (with no sides). The corn was $2.58 (See Birds Eye Sweet Mini Corn on the Cob / Publix 12 for $6.31, approx 50 cents each). Mashed potatoes and gravy at $3.04 My total was $20.03 (no drink). Our bill total was almost $60 with his 2 sides and something else. It was very little food for the price and - most I could have thawed and cooked myself. I want to support local businesses, but at these prices, if we ate there (or similar) 3 times / week = $60 * 3 * 4 = $720/month).

Gotta try the pulled pork or wings with the Carolina Gold sauce... amazing!!! We frequent this place often. Reminds us of our time in Durham.

I had the full rack w/ green and slaw. The entire meal was excellent. Dixie does ribs right. Unlike some of the chain restaurants in the area. Also had the banana pudding. That's high-living! Yum! I'm from the south and grew up eating BBQ. Dixie is right on the money.

Ok... until you try the St. Louis ribs here, YOU HAVE NOT LIVED BBQ. At least not in South Florida. Good thing this place isn't on my way home from the gym sheesh! I'm definitely getting those ribs again... although I'm not big on ribs... I am now lol. I blame you Dixie... for making me love ribs again!

Great BarBQ and Brunswick stew. Service was quick. Server was helpful and checked on us and got us refills and to go cups. Highly recommend for casual good quick BarBQ lunch!

the staff was super friendly and helpful, and the food was extremely good! the outside open seating was really pleasant and comfortable. the monday specials are the best totally affordable definitely a fan and definitely will be returning coming to this bbq spot is a must

Been going there 35 years. Had the worst service ever. Very disappointed. They gave the wrong take out order. Manager was rude. Wanted to give me a cold sandwich. At least I got my money back

Great Barbecue! Staff is friendly and Professional. Love this place. Their portion sizes are huge! Would recommend them to anyone that loves BBQ and Southern Hospitality!

Growing up in the south, I know BBQ. Dixie Pig is the BEST! It's so good that when you're craving it, you don't want it, you've GOT to have it. They make Smokey B. seem little league. Slow smoked St.Louis fall off the bone are my fave but everything they serve is delicious.

Good BBQ, open dining room setting (which was refreshing considering the South Florida weather), I enjoyed the cool breeze as I dined. Ribs were very tasty, corn bread just right, baked beans and mac were good as well and perfect portion. Andrea & Nicole offered great customer service at this family owned business, way to go ladies. I will definitely be back.

The food was good, but the service was excellent. The front lady was very sweet and given recommendations on food. Definitely going back kudos to the good energy!

Excellent BBQ! We also tried the burger and it was delicious even though cooked more than we would have liked. The service and ordering on line is friendly and efficient. We totally recommend this place.

We stopped by for lunch as we were n the area looking for something good but kinda quick as we had an upcoming appt. Anyhow so happy we did. Great bbq with all the traditional favorites and more. BBQ is personal for many people depending on where they grew up but I'd have to say they had a great selection and several sauces that should match up for most folks. All the goo was hot, good tasting and freshly made. If your in the area for good bbq and quick service or need a big to go order for the family I'd recommend getting by, you won't be disappointed. I know we'll be back for sure

Food is excellent, only wish they had indoor seating otherwise I need to sit in car if 78 degrees or higher.

Absolutely great food and people! I got the sampler with fries ! Delish! Waitstaff was super sweet! The seating is outside in a covered area! Cute set up they have going on!

Fantastic service, great food, great atmosphere. No flys, even though outside seating. Was cool because plenty of fans. Was raining terribly hard while i was there and not a drop on me. Food isn't the cheapest its about 15-20 for a good meal, but its a great spot and deserves some recognition.

Cool atmosphere. Hush puppies are great! Customer service was A+ . Will go back there.
