The most underrated chicken restaurant in town. The chicken is so good, portions are huge and prices are fair. Get out there and support this restaurant, would be a shame if they had to close.

Average looking place, great staff very friendly and the food was good. Chicken was darker than I expected but still tasty. My wife enjoyed the fish and chips.

Good food, good value, great service. Until changing jobs and having my office be on the North side of the city, I had never heard of Dixie Lee before. That was a shame because boy is it tasty. Their chicken is crispy and has a noticeable difference in flavour profile from your standard KFCs and Mary Browns which offered my tastebuds something new and flavourful. Their fish while oily, maintains a suburb, mouth watering crunch. Their seafood offerings are deep fried and delicious. Also, I don't know if all locations are like this, but whether it's a long time employee or new hire, the staff at this location were friendly, informative and just overal nice people to be around for a few minutes at lunch times. As my coworker said, I think they've got me "Dixie Leedicted".

Best Bang for your Buck poutine in fredericton. Good quality/quantity for the price, gravy is salty but good, fries are nice and crispy and the cheese is alright.

★★
July 19, 2021

First of all, the chicken is not fried but roasted. They don't even put breadcrumbs on it. Secondly, the cheese on the poutine taste not fresh at all. Overall, it was a bad experience for us and not recommended it. It taste not good at all.

This is a home of fried chicken and a bunch of seafood. Options are great with onsite generous parking. The portion is definitely fill you up. Once it locates on riverside, the view is great in the evening.

My wife enjoyed the take out 2 piece chicken with fries. It tasted fresh and nicely seasoned with good fries. Portion was adequate.

March 22, 2024

Staff definitely is not friendly. Chicken they gave was way too small for a whole part. Asked if chicken can be replaced but staff said she cannot do anything for a small chicken part. Its not a small chicken part, its half of a drumstick for crying out loud. If it were only a whole small drumstick, I wouldnt ask.

Been going there for decades but like everywhere else the price has gone up to start off the new year and the Econo dinners for two has increased substantially and we sure couldnt figure out why unless the bag of crinkle cut fries that was divided between two Econo dinners was packed on top of the spindly two pieces of chicken buried underneath was the reason.Also had asked for potato salad instead of the half a bag of fries which has been no problem in the past but that didnt happen either.Disappointed to say the least because Dixie Lee has always been our go to restaurant for chicken for many years.

Very fresh and tasty products. Some people want immediate service at these types of resturants, but the few minute wait for fresh fries and chicken are way worth it. Ive eaten at alot of Dixie Lees - this one scores towards the top for food quality. The staff are great. Friendly & pleasant. Reasonable pricing. Parking: A bit dicey due to layout.

Just about THE best option for fried chicken around these parts. Pro-tip, the farther north you go in the province, the better it gets.

December 22, 2022

Won t go again. Poutine was salty and just a bunch of mush and the chicken nuggets were also mushy and just gross.. through everything out and not worth $15

Last summer, I was with my group of summer camp children (about 6 of them) and a couple children had to use the washroom while we went for a nature walk. The closest place was Dixie Lee s so we all went in. I asked if some of my kiddos could use their bathroom, and one of the workers rudely said that if we re not buying anything, then we cannot use their bathroom. Even after telling her that there were no other nearby places, she proceeded to tell me that she did not care. Really rude staff. Do better.

I gave 1 star for the girl that took our order since she was very nice. I wouldve given none if not for her. Service was EXTREMELY FAST... I like fast but that was not normal fast... We started eating and my husband ask me if I found the taste weird on the chicken. I said it was a little burned but surely mustve been the oil taste We went there at 2pm on tuesday... We both got sick by 8pm. Am I mean really sick right ... We got poisoned. Big indigestion. I can tell you at one point I thought I was dying. Were 2 days later now and were still not well. Headaches and low energy since we still cant eat much (Just liquids). It was my first time in a Dixie Lee and wanted to try it for a very long time. But let me tell you that I wont even consider going back there ever again in my life. Just wanted to let people know if someone got sick that day and was wondering if anyone else was... Well we did!!

Chicken was fine but fish was undercooked resulting in a semi slimey batter on the inside.

December 22, 2021

The whole clam dinner was....sad. It was overpriced for the very small amount of clams. Honestly the best part of the dinner was the can of root beer. My first time at a Dixie Lee and my last, the service wasnt even friendly.

My boyfriend goes here almost every Friday, for Poutine Friday. I also love their poutine, its very salty but very tasty if you want to treat yourself. I wanted to try the clams, so had those. They tasted fine and were good, just not the types of clams I was expecting. They seem just like frozen small clam bits, rather than strips. Im also used to NS fresh seafood, so my opinion might be a bit harsher! Though, I still give a 4 star and will be returning!

Reminds me of my high school cafeteria. Definitely food, but meh.

December 22, 2019

My husband, 4 year old and I went here on November 11th. I get a lot of places were closed today and if places were open, workers more than likely didn t want to work, I get it.... But honestly, don t treat paying customers like trash. Our order came to $40 that we could have spent else where; but where we have never ate here before, we wanted to give it a try. When I asked if they sold a certain meal, I was told sharply chicken and fish only ; I m sorry that my 4 year old asked for a cheeseburger. When our order was up, the number 9 was called out sharply, I wasn t told to enjoy my meal, if I needed anything, nothing; in fact the worker turned and walked away out back. Thank you for making our first experience a negative one and thank you for treating us so rudely! We will not advise people to come here nor will we ever be back to be treated so poorly. Keep in mind, I just paid your wage, so thanks a lot!
