Dixie Grill & Grocery

Skip the large parking lots, fancy signs, or large crowds. If you want to find a local that's VERY close to the airport that serves southern charm and good a$$ food, stop by! They are super friendly and they're serving up good meals! The girl on the grill is a rockstar! You can be at the entrance of the airport in 2 minutes from here.

A DELICIOUS hidden gem! Went for lunch around 1pm, and even though it was empty, we were greeted immediately, and the waitress was super friendly and efficient. This diner is a grocery store as well and had a few drink items as well as household goods to purchase. As expected, the food was amazing! We ordered a Philly double patty cheeseburger, crispy chicken sandwich, and a double chili dog. The fries were the best. Warm and crispy and never took a bite from a soggy fry. It does give a back in the day vibe, but when I tell you these spots are always the best, they truly are. We will definitely be back and try other things from their menu. It's definitely a great lunch spot. They have parking right in the front, I can see there being limited spaces during rush hour, but nothing bad that should deter you from coming.

Amazing place to eat!Don't believe the stuff about them being racist. There was a woman that was like that but she is no longer there. They are great people and the food is amazing. It's a little steep for price, but you pay for what you get! I had a triple cheeseburger with egg and chili with a side of fried mushrooms and my Wife had Double cheeseburger with Onion Rings. The Mushrooms and the Rings rocked, but next time I'm going all rings cause they are probably the best rings I've tasted.

After reading the reviews on the Dixie Grill and Grocery, I was utterly fascinated and insatiably curious about what this place would have in store for me.The reviews were largely in agreement that the food at DGG is excellent, but were in general DISagreement as to the treatment one would receive from the staff. The staff was variously described as friendly, fun, racist, and rude. I had to find out for myself.When I pulled up, I felt a flash of apprehension and a shiver of fear--not because I fear rude treatment, but because of what I would say back. I didn't want to leave DGG wearing silver bracelets. Surely it can't be that bad. After having eaten here and listened to the interactions, I think I know exactly what's going on here. The staff member most people complain about is named Peggy. She was very nice to me, but she is a rank and file Northerner who is actually a good person at heart, but as Northerners are sometimes wont to do, she can be a little brusque. And some don't take well to that. I think this may have happened a few times. Northerners say what is on their mind to your face, but many southerners say it behind your back. Ah, vive la différence-- It's what makes the world go 'round. The issue here for me is not poor treatment--they were VERY nice--but that the food was just average. Hot dog: this was the best thing I had today, and the chili, slaw, and wiener were all four star worthy, though it could have used more chili. The bun was too bready and was cold. Bologna: they call it "Big Ass Bologna" and tout it as thick-cut. This made me think a slab approaching a half inch of thickness, but it was a quarter inch at best. It was nicely charred and had a good flavor, but like the hot dog, was lost in a sea of bread. Cheeseburger: like the bologna and hot dog before it, the bun surrounding it simply had too much bread. I'm not sure if it would have mattered anyway, because the flavor of the patty was not that great. So while I found the food to be merely average, I found the staff to be very kind, helpful, and friendly. If you have to go to CLT for any reason, it might be worth a drop in because this place is literally next to the airport, and you can park at the overlook and watch the jets go to and fro. If you do go I would double up on the meat.

Best chili hot dog I've ever tasted! Would highly recommend! Cute little local store also. I would give a million stars if I could

Oh my goodness.. talk about greasy goodness. My coworkers friend told him about it and we decided to check it out for lunch. A lunch special is $8.95 and you get one side and a tea. I decided Togo for the philly burger with mayo and fried pickles as the side. The burger was huge! It was a double and I definitely only need a single party. The patties we about a 1/2" thick. It was piled with onions, peppers, and mushrooms. They put so much cheese on it that strings of cheese were coming off the burger with each bite I took. As for the freshness, my coworker is pretty sure everything was frozen and then just refried. I have no idea but I doubt they are getting their ingredients from a farmers market. But if your goal is to be healthy then just don't stop by. This is a down home, family run, simple business. I was extremely satisfied with my food. It was hot and delicious. As for the atmosphere, it was super simple. The lady at the counter was friendly! The owner, Peggy, was walking around and sits down with regulars. She talked to us and was nice. She gave us a to go menu. Ultimately if you are near the airport (or aren't) and are looking for a solid meal under $10.00 come here! Worth your business.

I've been living in this neighborhood for over a year now. Every day I drive by this place to go to work but never stopped by to try them out. Well, it finally happened.They are like a small grocery store that you go when you don't feel like driving all the way to the grocery store. They also have snacks and drinks.Their menu is not extensive but it is enough if you are hungry and looking for something fast and cheap.I went with chicken wings and fried cheese sticks and my husband went with hamburger with fried pickles.My cheese sticks were not impressive, I would order them again, however my wings were pretty good, tasted just like home made wings.My husband enjoyed his meal.I feel like if you are in a hurry or don't feel like cooking this is a good place to have as an option.

Amazing burgers and fries. A great out of the way find. Nothing fancy but excellent food and nice people.

Excellent choice for sandwich and fries. It Dos'nt hurt that the people are friendly .

First time going here and got a regular hot dog. It exceeded my expectations. The staff were friendly & im a minority so I never felt any racism. The bathrooms were clean which was a plus if i ever consider eating inside.
