Very bare bones interior with some Christmas decorations, but the food was so good. I appreciate that the menu was published in both English and French.

This Dixie Lee restaurant is the best in the area but the restaurant is really run down and old but it looks like our Dixie Lee’s in my area back in the day! Poutine was perfect, the sauce is hot and tastes good! Ambiance is the worst I ever seen in my life looks like a 90s or early 2000s sit down restaurant but people like the style of old fashioned restaurants including me but this one is really run down. I still recommend this restaurant because it has the best poutine in the Miramichi area! Only thing is when I was there they only speak English which is no problem for me! I’m a native French speaker but I can read, speak and write English like a native English! I will go again 😊👌

First time to eat here. I find their fries delicious than McDonald's and burgerking, fish dinner is also my favorite here. Good ambience to eat. I hope they could improve their menu signages.

Chicken is inferior to the chicken in Chatham and they need get together with management in Chatham and get their salad recipes frim them because they are terrible in Newcastle now. Mac and Potato salads are not supposed to be filled with grated carrots. Feeling very ripped off today.

The chicken was great and food was hot. But they need to put some condiments and utensils out in the dining room. Unless maybe they have a problem with people taking them. And a little music playing in the dining room wouldn't hurt. There were 4 or five families in there and it was quiet enough to hear a pin drop. Awkward. But ya just suggestions,they got the food part down so just spruce the place up a bit. That's my two cents worth. But I will definitely come back next time I'm in town 😃

Chicken was burnt potato salad was dry paid for a gravy we said no to, didn't get our fries an definitely over paid.... On top of that the female cook in the back was extremely rude an ignorant. Worst meal ever! 100% not satisfied an no desire to EVER eat here again!!!

The food is always cooked well and delicious, lots of fries are included in the dinners I can't eat everything with out being completely stuffed. The seating isn't great for larger people but the food makes up for it. Fries all gone lol

Hasnt changed much since 1990. The dessert display or whatever it was is still there but empty now. The menu board looks different. Fish seems a bit smaller, but its not the best in flavor. I remember the Cole Slaw being creamy, but now it seems dry. I guess you have to ask for tartar sauce as they dont include it into a fish meal. The crinkle cut fries were the best part. Crispy.

The chicken was OK. The fries were soggy with grease. The coleslaw I ordered was not in the bag when I got home with the order. The restaurant is old and tired, with buckets on the floor and counter to catch the water coming through the ceiling.

My favourite fries in Miramichi. Cant beat them. The chicken is very good. They changed the coleslaw so that sucks. Please take out the green pepper. Service is OK and efficient. The restaurant and dining room need updating. Pretty dated. Ive been to other Dixie Lees that were new or renovated. I suppose you dont come here for atmosphere. You come for the juicy chicken and fries.

My 83 year old mother went to get chicken. She lives on her own and is extremely independent. She tripped on the lip going in the door and fell directly on her face. Her nose was bleeding profusely and the person working there didn t help her up or even ask if she was ok. He didn t offer her tissues for her bleeding nose so there she was with the one Kleenex she had trying to compose herself. She woke up with 2 bruised eyes, a possible broken nose with bleeding inside (according to the doctor), a bruised elbow and a skinned knee. He s referring her to a specialist. This isn t bad customer service. This is disgraceful negligence. I hope their chicken is better then their customer service.

Overpriced and over hyped. Everyone talks about this place like its amazing and you must try it. It has 4 stars but it is not a 4 star restaurant. Yes the chicken is good, but its expensive and the interior had oil and dirt smudges on the counter and baseboards of the floor. Its not bad just twice the price of other fast-food places and not twice the quality.

This service is usually good. Every now and then theres kids workin there that really dont want to be and it shows in their attitude and meal preperation. Next to no presentation( i know its fast food but its they just throw ingredients in a styrofoam container and however it lands it lands). And the fries are never, not once cooked through. Theyre soggy patatoes. Which could also be a name for this particual location.

Always the same great tasting food !!!! ! Service was wonderful one thing that made me question the cleanliness off the restaurant was, the big spiderweb that covered the corner of the solarium right by the washrooms ! I know the dining room is closed its (take out only) - for covide19 - ... but the clients have to passe true the dining room anyway, we have to fallow the arrows! And let me tell you that it was not a good thing for me to see that there was not more effort put into keeping the place maintained !!!!! Thats my opinion exclusively Ps; sorry i did not publish a pic. Not trying to harm local businesses
