I was preparing my trip for the 2009 summer season when I came across this list of reviews. Every year we go to ocean City NJ for our family vacation. Last season, we wanted to try out some of the newer things to do. I did a little research and found Dixie Picnic. I went into the restaurant in the... more

My family has been going to Dixie Picnic for the last few years and have had nothing but great experiences. While there have been mornings when they didn't have fresh orange juice, it was only because they hadn't received their shipment of oranges yet. All of their food is made fresh and is incredible! I love the Thanksgiving Box Lunch!... more

First, let me tell you the food at Dixie Kitchen in great. Bacon is excellent. Upcakes don't do much for me - the icing is thin and not flavorful. Now , regarding the service (or lack of it): You walk in the place and No one greets you. you kind of stand there while the male owner of the place... more

DixiePicnic, owner

We greatly contest the validity of the statement that the "male owner " was observed in loud verbal fights with customers. This person is known for his congeniality and customer service skills. He has had exactly ONE verbal altercation with a customer in our three years of operaion, which is why it is so memorable. Our regulars will tell you...

Finally,outstanding quality, homemade food in O.C., N.J. great atmosphere. Warm Southern hospitality.Menu is diverse-something for everyone. No short cuts. Family Recipes used a the legacy of the owners Southern Aunts. The"lunch boxes" are a great idea to get quality food to go and enjoy the outdoor life. Every ingrediant seems to have been chosen with care. more

Based on TripAdvisor reviews, we decided to stop by to pick up lunch for our day at the beach. We were so glad we did. Service was friendly and prompt. In a matter of minutes we each had our Bette's Box Lunch and were on our way. I had the Nutty Chicken Salad, Potato Salad (they were out of Pasta... more

We got a large carryout order last week from this place and they were very nice on the phone and the food, particularly the Shrimp Salad was excellent. They did forget a couple small items in our order and when I walked back (our house was only a block away) the owner came out immediately to apologize for the mistake... more

I enjoyed the food, but the atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired. Last week the temperature was in the 90's, so why not turn on the air conditioning...........I don't like to sweat while eating..........Also, maybe a cool temperature might help the mood of the old woman who was cooking in the back who kept screaming at her staff. I... more

Dixie picnic was the first restaurant i ran into so we decided to try it out. Well we sat down and tried to... more

Service was good, but I have tried this place 3 times this Summer and everytime there has been a problem. The first time I went up to the counter to order and the gentleman (if you could call him that) told me to take a seat as they had waitress service now. I had been ther previously and I would... more

Management response from
DixiePicnic, Owner/Manager

Because our food is all homemade from scratch on the premises, replenishing our most popular menu items may take some time. At times sales can be unpredictable, resulting in a small gap in availability of certain menu items. We like to think that selling out from time to time is testimony to the quality and popularity of our food. The...

My family and I like to eat good -quality, healthy food. I am not a big fan of boardwalk food and was thrilled to find Dixie Picnic last summer of 2007. We are back again this year in part thanks to the wonderful food at Dixie Picnic. Unlike the other reviews, we found the service to be warm, welcoming and... more
