A group of us ate at this restaurant for dinner recently. The wait for a table on a Saturday night was, as expected, a bit long, but I was surprised that once we were seated, we gave our order and received our food extremely fast (as much of the food was probably prepared many hours in advance). I was in the mood for ribs, and the ribs here appeased my appetite but were not anywhere near the best. The sides of baked beans were sour, the cornbread could have had more corn in it, and the muddy potatoes could have been warmer. Overall, the taste of the food was OK/acceptable. The service was good. We were happy to try out a restaurant that was new to us, but we would not make an effort to return.

Overall, Dixie Bones is a solid choice for BBQ made in the tradition of one of the stalwart states for the cuisine. If you live in Woodbridge, you should try this place immediately (unless you have an aversion to eating meat). If you

Pros: eh its good enough
Cons: meh
When I think of BBQ, I think of fresh meat marinading in fantastic sauces, cooking into the meat. That is not Dixie Bones :( The meat may be fresh but it comes dry and bland. Granted there are a few choices of sauce at each table that you can put on your meat but its just not what I expect from BBQ. The sauce is ON the meat, not cooked into the meat so its still kind of dry. Not for me...

this place makes down home southern style BBQ. They have cornbread, soups, and so much more. The place is always bustling with people. You won't be disappointed.
5There literally is no other place like it. There's only ONE Dixie Bones. Have them cater one of your events or enjoy their Sunday Buffet. This is serious down-home stuff.
