Not sure what the fish is but it is not any type of fish I've ever had and I've eaten a lot of fish. No ranch or Maranara sauce for the mozza sticks. Will not eat here again

★★★

Staff was super friendly. The atmosphere of the restaurant is non-existent. And the food was average.

★★★

The food is good, the service is ok, but the atmosphere could definitely be better. Dixie Lee is an old favourite, but it’s gone so long without updating menus or establishments.

Dixie Lee is a fried chicken franchise popular in parts of New Brunswick and Ontario (where it originated), similar to how Mary Brown's fried chicken is popular in Newfoundland and parts of Nova Scotia. Nothing exceptional about their chicken: Not as spicy as KFC but crispier than Mary Brown's. Their fries krinkle cut and dull. Nothing bad about the place, but I've never had bad fried chicken at any franchise.

I cant stop eating here. In BC we dont have Dixie Lee, now that i have one down the road i am there every couple days, the 2 piece snack pack is amazing. The fish batter is always so crispy and the fries are super hot.

Local restaurant/take out specializing in fish and chicken. The prices are moderate. All the items on the menu that we have eaten here have been good. We visit here a few times a month and it is a regular stop for co-workers for a quick lunch. There is lots of parking in there lot. There is also lots of seating in side, with a sun room area on one side. The washrooms are clean. They have snack and dinner size meals on there menu. Pretty much everything is deep fried.

Hello, the meal was good. However, the cleanliness of the dining room and toilets are very, very dirty. Its not Dixie Lee-worthy. There would need to be a major fall cleaning and daily maintenance. Additionally, the paint would need to be refreshed. White would be clean and bright. Good luck!

I was very shocked by two things that had happened. When they fired theur manager Mary Ann I was completely shocked! I know her very well and know that they had no reason to fire her! Three months later, which is today I decided to have some Dixie Lee for the first time since they let their best employee go! I ordered the food with a friend, received the food and went to set it on the table. When my friend came to the table to eat she told me that the lady at was very rude! I asked what happened and she said she asked for a fork and when the lady passed it to her she said dont make a mess! If she would have have said that to me Ill tell you what! I would not have taken it. She has never served me before and like I said I wasnt in for three months and I NEVER make a mess when I go out to eat! Extremely dissapointed in Dixie Lee Chatham!

A better place to get chicken. Pieces are bigger than KFC as well as the meal. Often there are specials. Alot of the stores havnt had a makeover which makes it seem like you are stepping into the past, which is actually kind of cool!
