Review 100! Booyah!
Dixie Pig knows how to smoke em' I thoroughly enjoyed my pork sangwedge with all of the sauces. I would literally add more Delicious sauce after every bite. The women behind the counter was very accomodating and was happy to explain the difference between them all. They were all excellent and I tried each one. I don't even particularly like the taste of mustard but the sweet and spicy ones were great. Of course the sweet and vinegar sauces rocked as well. The meat were smoked to perfection. Next time I want to try the chicken. I can't wait to return and try some more things off the menu.
Ohhh sooo yummmy plethora -o- saucesssss!!
Very random whole in the wall...oohhh wait there are NO walls...its all open but does have a roof. Lunch time is full of professionals & blue collar workers & it gets full. The pulled pork sandwich was GRRRREAT!! The BBQ sauces were all great but my favs were the "treat" & "sweet". I also tried this soup/stew thing (forgot the name) & it wasn't to my liking but didn't care. They also have "sweet tea" here.
Its on Dixie, they serve pig, & food is served from behind a bar...doesn't get much better!
Hailing from North Carolina, I was quite surprised and delighted to find Eastern Style North Carolina BBQ in Fort Lauderdale. Anyone who has been to South Florida knows that the further South you get in this state, the less Southern it is, so finding a place that does down home BBQ and sweet tea is a real treat.
The Dixie Pig does the vinegar based pulled pork as is typically found in Eastern North Carolina BBQ. (FYI, Western or Lexington style NC BBQ is a tomato and vinegar base). I had pulled pork sandwich and it came naked so you can actually taste the meat.
The restaurant provides an array of sauces so you can choose the sauce to your liking . Their signature sauce is a vinegar and pepper sauce that is wonderful doused on your sandwich but is equally wonderful doused on your fries (think fish and chips style, yall!). They also offer a more traditional sugary tomato based sauce (Memphis style) and a mustard based sauce (SC Style, think of Maurices BBQ). I'm partial to the spicy vineger base.
Dixie pig offers an array of sides such as coleslaw, fried okra, hushpuppies and fries. They also serve breakfast from their counter, which is a great deal for anyone working in the area with a hearty appetite.
I really enjoyed the BBQ and atmosphere at Dixie Pig but I must say, I was disappointed in their coleslaw. Good BBQ needs to have a good slaw to go with it. Their mayonais-ey concoction almost ruined my sandwich. I had to cut mine with large amounts of tobasco and the vinegar sauce to make it agreeable with the sanwich.
Dixie Pig is probably one of the few places you can get banana pudding in South Florida, and for that very reason I will return. The lady at the counter in the blue eyeshadow and big hair made the experience all more memorable, not to mention the colorful nature of Oakland Park Florida. I bought a bottle of the vinegar sauce and plan on using it as a base for some cole slaw. If it turns out well, I will share it with them and hope for the best. Lord knows they have plenty of vinegar in that joint and can give that mayo a break.

Good BBQ at a good price. It's reminiscent of an old wooden, roadside stand. Don't expect a/c!
No offense, but you "Yankies" who gave poor reviews need to get a grip...LOL !! (a joke, don't get your tightie-whities in a wad.)
This place serves real Southern BBQ. The restaurant is open style, which keeps the overhead and cost down. It's not meant to be a sit-down restaurant with a waitress. It' was originally a walk-up window and now has a few tables. If the tables are full, you carry your food home.
In the South, we don't bury the BBQ in sauce ... We leave that up to you ... that way you can actually taste the meat and flavor it to taste. If the BBQ is buried in sauce, then you're getting meat flavored sauce, not real BBQ.
The owner once lived in NC and knows how to make a great BBQ plate with hushpuppies and cold-slaw to boot. Best of all, they serve real sweet-tea. (Again, if you have ask if the tea is sweetened or not, you're in the wrong place. We Southerner's like our tea sweet, no lie !!)
This place could be feeding me kitty and I'd still eat it. I always seem to have a thing for the crappy little BBQ places the most other people wouldn't even stop for. Just give me a pulled pork sandwich and some of their sweet bbq sauce and I'm happy. Oh and they have this great redneck banana cream desert thing I really enjoy too!
Also, you can swing by this place for a quick and cheap eggs and toast breakfast. All seating is outside so if you wear a suit to work you're likely to get a little sweaty.
This is a great little BBQ shack!
The BBQ is good...wish the sandwiched came with some of the sauce soaked in a bit. They should have a few more options for sides...but with fried okra and hushpuppies that good, it's easily overlooked.
The North Carolina BBQ is traditional and very good. The fries and the hushpuppies are pretty darned good too. I will continue to visit Dixie Pig for these dishes only as pretty much everything else I've tried there just didn't thrill me to say the least. Until they do something about that terrible Cole Slaw I can only give them 3 stars especially considering the fact that I LOvE COLE SLAW ON MY PULLED PORK SANDWICH!
(They might also want to clean up the dining area a bit...it always seems sticky and dirty to me.)
A bit of a letdown, given the authentic setting (hint: not a spot for a first date) and strong reviews. I had the pulled pork sandwich, and for some reason, they served it "naked," or without any BBQ sauce on it. Maybe that's a NC thing (where the place has roots in), but I think that pouring the BBQ sauce on a sandwich cheapens it. Also, without any sauce on the meat, I was able to taste it a bit more closely, and it was also disappointing. I thought it could have been better.
Best Carolina BBQ in FTL. Love this place. It looks like a really bad ice cream stand, but the food it just amazing. I would recommend this place to everyone.
Yummmmmmmmmm. Reminds me so much of driving winding country roads through Western North Carolina as a child... coming upon random roadside pit BBQ places. SO GOOD. The pulled pork and the fried okra are to die for.
