I am from Kansas City and am a Road warrior. I spend most of my travels seeking out barbecue places to try. From Canada to California to the Carolinas and I must say this place is easily in the top five that I have ever had. Mainly because, this is real, Hometown, regionally specific food. Their sauce through me in a tangy vinegar loop like you threw Arthur Bryant‘s and Carolina style into one. Hand cut fries are just like Arthur Bryant‘s, I got the small pork plate, which was served with a mix of chopped and pulled pork, absolutely fabulous and filling! Lady said that they have homemade blue cheese dressing, which is tops in my book, make sure if you order a side of fries that you get an extra one of these! So unique and absolutely delicious! I opted for a small cup of beans on the side And they were full of flavor, tender, and could substitute as a meal by themselves! They do rib specials, Wednesday and Thursday and catfish specials, if I can make it down this way again for business I will stop in on one of those days and try it out!

Interesting spot. Super friendly staff. Great customer service.
Generous portions. A barbecue plate comes with fries and a salad. (The vinegar barbecue sauce isn’t something I’m used to). It wasn’t bad but I prefer a thicker sauce)

My boyfriend works in Blytheville, and he has always hyped up the Dixie Pig. When we finally got the chance to go, of course we took it, and I do not regret the hour drive at all. I know Dixie Pig is known for their BBQ, but I have been on a catfish kick lately, and so of course I tried their catfish, and I was not disappointed, but I will be honest, I was expecting it to be better. The catfish was a lot smaller than most catfish I have eaten at other BBQ restaurants in Arkansas, and it had that really fishy taste that catfish get sometimes if they’re farm raised. The breading was great though, and I love catfish regardless, so it was still a solid 4/5 stars. Really, it’s the homemade tartar sauce that made it so good. Honestly, I wish I bought some just to take it to go, it was that good. I had a bite of my boyfriend’s pulled pork sandwich with the BBQ sauce, and honestly, if you go to Dixie Pig, you HAVE to get the sandwich. I honestly was jealous by his order, and that’s why I stole a few bites. Our waitress was also the sweetest ever, and I love the vibe of a BBQ house. Overall, 5/5.

Portions are very large and reasonably priced. Not super clean but a cozy atmosphere.

Literally a diamond in the rough! The minute you walk in you know the food is going to be good, we travel a lot looking for places like this! Homemade tartar sauce, homemade dressings, coleslaw, and the catfish was excellent! Service was outstanding, our server went above and beyond! We will be stopping here again out next time through!

Will not go back. They may have started out 100 yrs ago, but now not so good. We ordered onion rings, and they came out overcooked or cooked in old grease. My husband got the 2 piece catfish and said it was good, I got the bbq sandwich, not all that. Even the buns were dried up looking. The frys looked old and overcooked. I don’t know why we didn’t walk out. I do not recommend this place and will not go back. We paid 80.00 dollars for 2 pieces catfish dinner, 1 large pig sandwich, 4 regular pig sandwiches, 2 French fries, and 4 drinks, 1 large onion rings. It’s not worth it. And for being there for 100 years, they do not do Veterans discount. I could kick myself for not walking out.

This place has been here for over 100 years. The food is always great! Add the sauce to your big pig sandwich. I ordered the large onion rings this time, and they were excellent. The fries are handcut, which you don’t find many places. The waitresses are always the best. Whenever I’m passing through, I stop.

Food great. If you like close seating this is your place. I didn’t have barbecue but people come from all around to eat here.

Visited October, 2023. THE BEST ONION RINGS EVER! Soft, sweet cooked circle of onion in a firm, crisp not-too-thick outer shell. Got the Pig sandwich which was good with some crisp bits in the smoky chopped pork. It was the right balance with coleslaw tucked inside and generous squirts of the vinegar based sauce at the table. All topped off with great service. It’s an understated small-town, casual restaurant. Staff was welcoming & made me feel at home. Most customers were acquainted with each other so it gave a friendly, family reunion type vibe. Worth repeating!

We love the food and always stop by when we come in from out of town. You can’t go wrong with the Pig Fries, Pig Sandwich comes with slaw on it. Don’t forget to buy a bottle of the Dixie Pig Sauce it’s a staple in our house.
