My family and I stopped here after a long day of driving and were pleasantly surprised. The food was great and there was plenty of it. Prices were right too. The owner was even there and stopped to talk to us for a while...how often does that happen nowadays? The restaurant was also very clean, which is important to us....

This place has new owners and management and everything is SO MUCH better! My server was so sweet and courteous. The buffet was really good. If you have thought this is not the place to stop then you are wrong! Get up out of your chair and go try them again! Every time I am in Mclean this is where...

Okay first off I was very disappointed because we went there because they supposedly had the best buffet in town, the thing is that the buffet was broke or something i am also disappointed in the waiter, He didn't even write down our order and that's not all. My grandfather ordered roast beef and tea, than my grandmother ordered the...

We stopped for the fuel and restrooms, thought we'd eat before heading out 3+ hours home. The service was horrid!!! We ordered 2 BLT, Chicken sandwhich & Porkchops; all with fries. We waited over half an hour for cold crappy food. My Chicken sandwich only had the bottom bun, the fries made me sick. The other person with us couldn't...

After hearing that Dixie had new owners and newly remodeled we thought we would check it out as not to far from home. The buffet was dried out therefore we ordered the broasted chicken of the menu which they were always famous for years, the chicken was hot but not by any means like years before, they took the green...

I've been stopping at Dixie since I was a kid. Hadn't been there of a few years and it had turned into a dump! It almost made me cry. I have nothing but really great memories of the old Dixie, it was always a must stop on any road trip along I-55. This once busy, bright and clean stop has...

The food is extremely overpriced. I visited around 11 AM and selected the Buffet for $7.99. The Buffet was 1/2 breakfast and 1/2 lunch. Selection was very minimal. The biscuits for the biscuits and gravy were as hard as hockey pucks. One was edible after soaking in gravy, the other was not. One of the plates sitting on the buffet...
