As a Georgia native, soul food can easily be taken for granted. Something as simple as home made sweet tea has always just "been there" for a Georgia boy like myself.

Occasionally, I take business trips to Virginia, and one thing that gets on my nerves is when I go to restaurants and they do not have sweet tea. Often times the waiter/waitress looks at me like I'm from the Bible belt or something. (haha)

A friend of mine (who formerly lived in Georgia) told me about this place called Dixie Bones. He mentioned that the owner is from Alabama, and it is a family owned restaurant that serves southern specialties. And boy was he right! They serve everything from sweet tea to collard greens, grandma's fried chicken to that oh-so scrumptious pie.

Good Eatin'!
Its been over a year since I moved out here to the West Coast and this weekend I'm flying back for a 3-day visit with friends in Annapolis, MD. We've already planned -two- 1 hr treks out to Dixie Bones. Once with the Marylanders and once with some friends of mine from New York who are driving down. If that ain't a recommendation then I don't know what is!    [24 Apr 2002 11:14:56]

Great side dishes
The greens are very good, the potato salad is very good, the food is high quality but the prices are a bit high while the portions are not that large. Still, it's a good restaurant. Generally you get more meaty ribs than you do at a lot of places.    [20 May 2002 20:31:34]

Dixie Bones really does beat all the rest
We compared Dixie Bones to a number of Latino/Mex places over their chicken dish. Dixie Bones has the best tasting chicken also a much larger portion. Also Dixie Bones has very large side dishes and a huge amount of fries. When you order them all at reasonable price. Outstanding. Also nice clear, safe restaurant and area around it.    [09 Jun 2002 10:50:12]

Best Part of Trip
My wife and I travel to Myrtle Beach every year and always time leaving NJ so that we can lunch at Dixie Bones. Same on return trip. Best bar-b-que we've ever had.    [02 Sep 2002 23:08:13]

Best BBQ in the DC area
I developed my taste for brisket while living in Texas, and although Dixie Bones is not necessarily "texas style" BBQ, it's darn good. In my opinion it's the best BBQ in the metro DC area. Only place that can touch it is Smoker's in Ocean City, MD, but that's not a fair comparison since Dixie is a full-service restaurant. Check it out if you're in the area and don't waste your time on Famous Dave's, Red Hot & Blue, or Rocklands.    [19 Sep 2002 15:22:04]

Awesome Pies!
A group of friends met at Dixie Bones for pie, and all were impressed by the quality and taste. We tried them all, and heartily recommend them.    [10 Nov 2002 04:22:46]

Great Stop for a Home-Cooked Meal on the Way to Florida
We always make a point of stopping at Dixie Bones on our way to Florida.

We have a big family, with big appetites. It's a must first stop over the Mason Dixon line.    [02 Apr 2003 13:25:08]

Worth the Detour
While returniong to NC from a trip "Up North" we pulled off the interstate to find a quick place to eat. It was total chance to stumble across Dixie Bones, and we almost didn't go in...but we were glad we did! Great service, good homestyle cooking, ribs that fell off the bones, etc.    [10 May 2003 14:26:20]
