“When I walked into the Dixie diner, I was immediately transported to the day my grandfather took me to a diner in the 60s. The decor, the food, the friendly service was like being in a time capsule of that day. All good! I went back and brought my grandchildren, who loved the place and the stories of their great grandfather. I go back now every chance I get.“

“Had an amazing breakfast this morning! Miss Kelly is an awesome server and made sure my uncle with special needs felt comfortable and included. I wish all people were as kind to him in the world as the whole staff was today. His mom is currently in surgery and he’s very anxious. Miss Kelly and Miss Roxie on the grill made him feel right at ease. The best staff around!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Went there one day last week and today we miss Michael Pryor and we wish he will get better soon he is a great man. Anyways the food was great and the service was great it’s just like a family place. We love it there. So who ever never been there to eat please go.“

“Wonderful food. Great service.“

“I got a to-go order & the Server/Bartender was on point. It was kind of hard to pull up a menu, so she helped me pick out the top flavors quick & easy for a wing order (my fav). Then upon arrival, I accidently had my card turned off and instead of her coming back telling me how it was denied - she knew what was up ... or atleast gave me the chance vs embarassing me. I just thought that was so sweet how she handled it... kudos. It seems hard to find decent customer service out here these days! She made it seem so easy ❤️“

“It’s been awhile since we were at this Applebees, but we will be back sooner! Had a great waiter Michael, very friendly, polite & he made sure our order was prepared the way we ordered it. Ordered burger well done & it came out with much to pink for me. He took it back & then told me they would prepare a new burger for me, instead of recooking it. Meal was hot & fresh & kept checking with us to see if we needed anything. Keep up the great work Michael - it is appreciated!!“

“Great breakfasts! Definitely get your moneys worth and great service too! 👍🏼👍🏼“

“Go here allot for lunch with friends. They have great food and super friendly staff highly suggest stopping in!“

“A great time. Good people,great music!!“

“Our “go-to” spot! Robert is a great bartender! Foods good, drinks are great, and the crowd is very welcoming!“

“Wings on Thursdays are the BEST!“

“Best bbq since we moved from NC. They should think about offering hush puppies and grits. Red and white slaw would probably cause a southern defection.“

“Our server Kyle was great! They were able to make me foods safe for me to eat due to my food allergies (THANK YOU!!). Others in my party loved the fresh, homemade rolls (I’m allergic, so couldn’t eat them, but they looked amazing!).
The only downside was the extra long wait. We were told 30-40 minutes, but the wait was over 50 minutes. It was the day after Valentine’s Day, so I’d guess this wasn’t normal. You can make reservations online, I’d highly suggest it!

Dietary restrictions: I let them know my allergies and they worked to make me a great meal!“

“The food is very good and the service is great“

“Friendly service staff both bar and floor“

“I think it's weird how busy the Dennys across the street from this place is and how this place is like a ghost town. The food here is better, cheaper and you don't have to wait for a hour to actually get your food.
I think many people (like us) forget it's even here.
The food was great, service was great. We were able to be seated as soon as we got there on a Saturday morning. We will definitely be back.“
