I was immediately off put by the TSA-level security required to get into this place. I don’t know if I’m not used to this level of intrusiveness being from Idaho, but I had the crew go through my purse and OPEN my PRESCRIPTION medication to go through it and match it to my ID. If I had pearls I would be clutching them because I felt that was over the line for a country bar. From my friends that have lived here all of their lives they’ve claimed it’s never been this bad and also to stray away from Dixie.This place should be able to figure out security better, I should not feel guilty for bringing my medication into a bar. I give this place a second star only because the bartenders on this night were considerate and accommodating to possible needs and the service was quick. The overall management team should be aware of their intrusive policies, that’s not how it should be regardless of the past.

Never knew what line dancing is? No worries, just step into and they will give you a short course of it ?

The Truth
I finally went here for the first time to see what the hype was about.. It seemed like a cool, hang out. I definitely could see myself enjoying this place ,, however, the cigarettes ruins the entire experience… I mean, I didn’t last longer than 15 minutes because the cigarettes were so bad my nose is still burning.. It’s not worth getting sick over secondhand smoke.. all the bars in Texas are all non-smoking everywhere is non-smoking.. And Florida is supposed to be the same way , I thought it was called Florida clean air act. .. I can’t believe places still allow cigarettes inside of buildings. I definitely can’t come to this place.

Really nice, honky-tonk look on the inside but the music did not reflect that. The line dancing classes are a nice perk, but would've liked to hear more country music. Can't line dance to Usher and Michael Jackson. Mixed drinks are very strong.

I have been to this bar twice and both were horrible experiences. Once you might think it was a one off but two personal experiences plus the many other reviews noted here will hopefully steer people away from having the same terrible experience.The first time my friend and I were followed around the bar by a guy who refused to take no as answer- we told him no on four separate occasions to buying us drinks and after the fourth no, he went to the bar after we ordered drinks, found out our order from the bartender and brought us drinks anyways. We refused them again and left feeling creeped out.The second time, I was denied entry because I have a disability. Their “security” does nothing to keep this bar safe but they do discriminate against people with disabilities.

The one Bartender who works at the front bar by the exit door , she’s a Short older Blonde Lady , She was a Super Really Rude Lady. But everything else is really good in here!

Overall I had a good time. The guy checking ids asked to see my Facebook to make sure my birthday matched my id even after asking me all of the questions… (how old am I, when’s my birthday, what’s my name). I did learn some new dances but I’m also hesitant going back after reading the reviews of them kicking people out that we’re learning :/
Staff was cool and so was service, but the dance floor was typical boring. Also, to answer Mr Doe's review, Dixie Roadhouse was inspected by the FBI in October 2020, and was cited for allowing what is known as dance floor grinding, which was criminalized nationwide by Congress in January 2020. Federal law now is 8 feet minimum between dancers, at all nightclubs nationwide. Five minutes of something other than line dancing is the very most this place can get away with. The federal authorities are still cracking down nationwide on dance floor grinding, and numerous other clubs have been shut down by the FBI for dance floor grinding and numerous patrons at other nightclubs arrested. The United States is a strictly line dancing only nation.

We decided to bring visiting friends to Dixie roadhouse. Such a terrible mistake! We didn’t get farther than the front door. The guy checking ID’s asked if he could look in my bag to check for a gun. I get that. Then he actually started rummaging through my bag and poured my ibuprofen into his nasty dirty hands. I had 2 Tylenol as well in there. He made me through those away. No problem, they all got thrown into the trash. Then proceeded to interrogate the young lady we brought. I’m all for safety, that’s ridiculous.

The bouncer wanted to look at my social media after I presented a valid id… terrible service. Made my friend throw out 2 Tylenol. Super weird I would not try to go here

Dont bother unless you have friends that already come here. The teachers NEVER teach anything on the DJs actual list so youre stuck on the sidelines.Atleast the bartenders are good because the line dancing is a joke. Feels awful being new here try somewhere else

I love the atmosphere. Getting in the door is difficult and everyone must have a valid id. I am 40+ and they scammed it several times and delayed my entry. There is a fun spin the wheel game and Wednesday night is always a fun night to be there. This is a great place for all ages and I love to watch everyone line dance. They play more than just the typical country music/ good mix of top 40 songs too. Some of the female bartenders are rude.
