TripAdvisor/John E It’s almost a required stop if you’re within a couple of hours of the town! This BBQ joint specializes in pork sandwiches and an undeniably addictive BBQ sauce.
The concept of what would become Dixie Pig began back in 1923.
Google/Bill Clark This was the year when Ernest Halsell started selling his barbecue out of the Rustic Inn. In 1950 Halsell moved to the current location on North 6th. He brought the same sauce and barbecued pit pig to the restaurant which kept its success going. The eatery has stayed in the same family since opening in the 20s!
Inside you’ll be greeted with a space frozen in time and just as welcoming as it was when it opened.
Google/Jeff Smalla History and knickknacks fill the walls of Dixie Pig. It’s one of those place that you’ll notice something new with every glance or revisit. Dine inside or take your pig to-go!
Most folks come for the pig sandwich but there’s plenty options on the menu to keep you indecisive for a bit.
