Reviews of Dixie Lee Family Restaurant (Restaurant)

Craig Guile

Larry Perry, we noticed that the fries where very very salty too. I guess its not a badluck that you had. We should have heed your advice. The chicken was good.

Darcy Frampton

Went for lunch, amazing... so amazing, we came back for supper the day after. Highly recommended!

Mike Elliott

Worst fish and chips in Nova Scotia.

Mike Simmons

Food tastes good, but it is very greasy

Zupharion

Very good chicken

Barrie Spear

The chicken was ok but not the quality for price.

Stephen Fralick

Very good fried chicken, fast friendly service

Kevin Anderson

Staff are fairly normal, food was great though! Despite being a little on the greasy side, the food is exactly what you'd expect. Personally tried the Seafood Diner and was quite happy and unable to finish it. Portion sizes are quite good too!

Mark Bennett

The only Dixie Lee in Nova Scotia...

Charly Valyear

I haven't had Dixie Lee in nearly 18 years since they left my hometown. It was everything I'd remembered. Love their chicken & the chicken macaroni salad!

Felix Finck

A taste of home

Staff very friendly and helpful. Serving was bigger than expected. Chicken was good, poutine had lots of gravy. The kids loved the ice cream.

We came to this restaurant because there is only a handful of "restaurants" in Liverpool. We thought, hey you cant mess up fried chicken and fish right? Well we tried the chicken, chicken burgers, fish, poutine, and wedges. The chicken was basically extra greasy fast food like KFC but I would say KFC is better, even though I haven't visited KFC in years. The chicken burgers tasted bland and tasted like low quality frozen chicken fingers from the grocery store, we expected a crunchy burger given the name "Thunder crunch", but even the toppings were unacceptable. The tomato was sliced thicker than the chicken patty, also the lettuce was a the white crunchy stem part and the orange sauce they used did not compliment the dish. The fish was battered nicely but the meat itself was bland and over-cooked, also a slice of lemon would have helped boost the flavor. The side fries were bland, they needed seasoning, salt, and some color. The poutine surprisingly had nice cheese curds, not authentic, but good job. The gravy on the other hand was neither beef or chicken. The wedges were the best part of the menu we tried, they were crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and tasted very good with the provided dip, which was the same "gravy" that was on the poutine. Also the coleslaw was very very good, creamy and acidic at the same time. As a side note we would have appreciated some home-baked rolls instead of cheap store bought rolls, no one ate them because everybody knows what they taste like. One group immediately felt nauseous after the meal and others felt similarly. In conclusion I would say this is a local spot where the average patron is used to low quality food and wont complain because this is the only chicken in town and most people who visit this establishment do not know what good food is. There is something to be said about a good authentic fried chicken restaurant but this spot does not stand out. Don't waste your money here unless you really want overpriced fast food. You are better off buying the fried chicken at the grocery store. We have no recommendations for good food in Liverpool, your best bet is to make a trip to Bridgewater or cook your own food.

Great staff, good food. Small ice creams are huge!!

Matthew Jenkins

We saw the Dixie Lee sign on the highway on the way back from a beach and decided to stop in. What a great decision that proved to be! They were very friendly, the food was delicious, reasonably priced, and very quick. We really liked the fried chicken and the cole slaw! Next time we go to Thomas Raddall Park we will stop by!

JP

Always love that place.. CHICKEN in the mac salad is the best????????????

Kyle L.

The best chicken around

Scott Adams

As a person from north-east NB, this is soul food. Great chicken, great coleslaw, and the classic fries!! If you haven't had, it's hour and half drive from Halifax and is worth every penny to drive down and have a feast.

Jeannette Rogers

The best chicken in Queens.

Brian Morris

This should be the standard by which all other franchises should be measured. Customer service is always friendly, courteous, and helpful. The restaurant is always spotless. The meals are always piping hot and fresh. The food is great value for money, especially the daily deals. When this household gets a craving for fried chicken, I forego the two local options and drive to Dixie Lee in Liverpool -- from Yarmouth!

Yummy chicken and fries.

Kristy Suik

Dixie Lee is a place that brings me back to my childhood. By far the best fried chicken in the Maritimes! The one in Liverpool is the only one in N-S and if driving to the city we make sure to stop in. I'm originally from up North of N-B and Dixie Lee was THE place that everyone gathered.

Jason Surette

Great seafood.

Chicken salty. Chicken sandwich not bad.

A better ownership/management team you will not find. Always a good meal, served with a smile & in my case a joke. Also admire them for being open to hiring people with disabilities!! Good on you Bursey family, you’re good people!

Michael C Benson

Remember when KFC used to be good? Well the good folks in Liverpool never forgot because they have Dixie Lee to keep that old traditional fried chicken dinner alive and well.

Terry

Met the owner. Nice old man, chatted with him him a bit.

Tina Stailing Hayden

Sorry to say that there is an issue in your kitchen. On first visit the fried chicken was heavily salty, quite difficult to finish. On second trip had the two piece Fish Chips to go. Fish triangle wedges were heavily greasy, salty and looked like out of box multiple times fried portions. Didn't expect that in Liverpool. Expected some nice fresh plump battered fish. Unfortunately I will have to look elsewhere next time. Will say that the staff are friendly and nice open eating area, plus great clean washroom. The place was not busy either of the times I went in at around 2 PM so I am not sure what the issue is with the basic food offered. Hoping they will review the situation as I know it will enhance costumer loyalty.

Very dissapointed after a 2.5 hr drive to get there. Very greasy and not worth the drive

Daniel Dow-Clark

Not the hidden gem of a seafood take away I was hoping for, but a nice spacious, well decorated place to dine in.

CartoonCritter1985

Great service , great tasting Fried Chicken

Dana Murrin

Very solid place for chicken. Big portions, and the fries were crisp, hot, and fluffy inside. Better than most KFCs that I've been to. Haven't had the fish yet so can't comment on that, but no reason to believe it wouldn't be as good as the chicken.

Gordon Shupe

Yummy... Love the fries love the seasoning

david whynott

alyssia olsen

You can't beat the chicken dinner. Consistently hot and juicy chicken. Crispy crinkle cut fries. Excellent coleslaw. A roll. And a delicious gravy.

Ron Coole

A little more expensive than I expected. The crinkle fries are fun and shareable. Nice staff!

Larry Perry

Classically delicious fried chicken.

Morgan Kempton

Great food. Lots of chicken decor for sale if you choose to dine in. Amazing service

ryan ross

Pretty sure they fried my chicken in a fryer that they used to cook fish and underneath my chicken battery which tasted fishy was fishy scales. Never go back again. Disgusting !

Terry Boegel

Came here and ordered a 3 peoce chicken, because I didn't state i did not a wing of course thats what I get... I then say I would like to trade my wing for a leg and that a wind should not be allowed to be classified as a peice of chicken in a 3 peice meal. They told me sorry ill have to love with it. Not to mention the poutine barely had any gravy. This place went way down hill

Bonnie Francis

NS. Chicken was good but not the fish. New to downtown Liverpool

Hubert Rodden

We wanted ice cream .. they had a good selection of ice cream novelties in the freezer case.

Sheri Brown

This Restaurant is clearly a town favorite, as while we dined and waited for our meals many locals wandered in for their pickup meals. The food was hot and tasty. A bit heavy saturation in oil, but everything we ordered was deep fried, as most items on the menu are prepared that way. Would eat here again

Cathy Hayden

The chicken made me sick

Joe Gallant

Great food

Matt Coolen

Found the chicken very salty. Tastes like they brine the chicken before they cut it and fry it. The chicken itself was very salty not the coating

Chris Rhyno

Chicken was good but fish was not. Wish they still had the old style apple turnovers instead of the store bought.

Philip Melanson

Fast friendly service. Good food.

Dana Copeland

Good food. Chicken is really good

David Scott

I've never actually eaten here , although I plan on taking the 2 hour journey asap . My 5 star rating is based solely on the responses by the owner to people when they complain about silly things . I dont know who you are Sir or Mam, but if your delightfully sarcastic comments are any indication of the quality of your food , I can not wait to try what I can only assume is the holy grail of chicken!

Gwen Rivet

Wasn't quite a fan of the food. It was like food you could buy yourself at the grocery store and then deep fried. The service however was excellent! The lady who waited on us was very friendly and helpful. The store was super clean and well laid out!
